英語書信寫作的十個注意事項(xiàng)
寫英文書信，不能用印有線條的信紙，一般也不用有顏色的信紙。可用簡略的拼法，如將Photograph寫成fotograf.，將though寫成tho.等。不可用“Dear Friend，”、“Friend Jack，”等格式。如果一封信中對男女兩性都要稱呼則可用“Gentlemen”一詞。結(jié)尾客套語中，決不可遺漏Yours這一個字。生氣惱怒時不要寫信，寫了也不要寄。沒考慮好，不要隨便落筆。
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(yīng)改為 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We決定呀, 不是report.)
2.句子不要零碎。
例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts.Because of our previous objections about compliance. 兩個句子應(yīng)該連在一起：He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.
3.結(jié)構(gòu)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(yīng)改為: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.
4.單復(fù)數(shù)不要搞亂，不然會好刺眼，看著不舒服。
例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. 應(yīng)改為 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.
5.動詞和主語要呼應(yīng)。
想想這兩個句子的'分別: 1. This is one of the public-relations functions that is under-budgeted. 2. This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under-budgeted.
6.時態(tài)和語氣不要轉(zhuǎn)換太多。
看商務(wù)英語已經(jīng)是苦事，不要浪費(fèi)人家的精力啊。
7.標(biāo)點(diǎn)要準(zhǔn)確。
例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 應(yīng)改為: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
8.選詞正確。
像affect和effect，operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。affect用作動詞的時候，意為“影響”，相當(dāng)于have an effect on，并且，這個影響一般是指不好的影響，如：The climate affected his health.(氣候影響了他的健康。)至于effect，一般用作名詞，若用作動詞，其意為“招致，引起”�？傊喽喾e累同義詞的辨析，注意詞義及表達(dá)色彩。
9.拼寫正確。犯單詞拼寫等低級錯誤很容易給人造成一種不好的感覺，覺得你寫信的時候不夠認(rèn)真，態(tài)度不夠誠懇。
10.大小寫要注意。
除非必要不要整個詞都大寫，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。
