随着2000年《里斯本协定》提议采用一个欧洲联盟内部资质比较的共同框架，共同商定的跨国技能和资质概念问题已成为一个紧迫的政治和实际问题。这篇论文认为，我们有理由怀疑，是否有现成的英语术语“技能”和“异化”的翻译，从而避免了比较和校准德语和英语职业资格的问题。探讨了造成这一困难的原因，其中最重要的是：a)两种语言中技能及其同源词的概念结构；b)资格证书的不同社会政治作用；c)不同的产业结构和劳动程序；d)管理职业教育和培训的机构不同。这些问题与英国和德国相似的行业和职业以及明显相似的资质水平的例子有关。
With the proposed introduction of a common framework for comparing qualifications within the European Union as a result of the Lisbon Agreement of 2000, the question of commonly agreed transnational concepts of skills and qualifications has become a pressing political and practical issue. The paper argues that there are grounds for doubting that there is a ready translation of the English terms 'skills and 'alification' in a way that avoids problems of comparing and calibrating German and English vocational qualifications. Reasons for this difficulty are explored, the most important of which relate to: a) the conceptual structure of skill and its cognates in the two languages; b) the differing socio-political role of qualifications; c) different industrial structures and labour processes; d) differences in institutions regulating vocational education and training. These problems are discussed in relation to examples of similar industries and occupations and apparently similar levels of qualification in England and Germany.
