英文電子郵件文法注意和寫信提示
一、文法上
1、切忌主客不分或模糊
例子:Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.
應改為:Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We我們是主語, 不是report。)
2、句子不要凌碎
例子:He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 應該連在一起。
3、結構對稱,令人容易理解。
例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings.
應改為:The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.
4、單復數(shù)不要搞亂,不然會好刺眼,看不舒服。
例如:An authorized person must show that they have security clearance.
5、動詞主詞要呼應。想想這兩個分別:
1)This is one of the public-relations functions that is underbudgeted.
2)This is one of the public-relations functions, which are underbudgeted.
6、時態(tài)和語氣不要轉變太多。看商務英語已經(jīng)是苦事,不要浪費人家的精力啊。
7、標點要準確
例如:He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
改為:He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
8、選詞正確
好像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
9、拼字正確
有電腦拼字檢查功能后,就更加不能偷懶。
10、大小寫要注意
非必要不要整個字都是大寫,除非要罵人。
例如:MUST change to OS immediately. 外國人就覺得不禮貌和喝令人一樣。要強調(diào)的話,用底線,斜字,粗體就可以了。
二、 寫信提示
1、人家的名字千萬不要錯。
老一輩的看到名字錯就干脆攆去垃圾桶, 同樣,頭銜都不要錯。頭銜或學位,任擇其一吧。以下是一樣的: Howard E. Wyatt, D.D.SPhD. Dr. Howard E. Hyatt
2、多過一個男人,用Messrs,就是Misters的意思,不過不要跟名字,跟姓就行啦。
例如:Messrs. Smith, Wyatt, and Fury 。女人呢?用Mesdames, Mmes., or Mses. 同樣不要跟名字. 例子:Mses. Farb, Lionel, and Gray 。男女一齊呢?弄清楚稱呼就行。例如: Dr. and Mrs. Harold Wright ;Mr. Harold Wright and Dr. Margaret Wright ;Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Adams-Quinn 。
3、有人有自己頭銜就要跟緊。
例如有人有榮譽學位就不喜歡用一般的頭銜,有時不知道對方頭銜,干脆用Ms.算了. Ms. Sarah Gray
4、地址要低日期至少兩行。處名時,職銜短可以一行過,長就下一行吧。
例如:Ken Green, Presiden
