英文函電書(shū)寫(xiě)七大基本原則

時(shí)間：2020-11-01 19:54:55 Letters 我要投稿

　　一、Courtesy 禮貌

　　語(yǔ)言要有禮且謙虛，及時(shí)地回信也是禮貌的表現(xiàn)。

　　例如：

　　We have received with many thanks your letter of 20 May, and we take the pleasure of sending you our latest catalog. We wish to draw your attention to a special offer which we have made in it.

　　You will be particularly interested in a special offer on page 5 of the latest catalog enclosed, which you requested in your letter of 20 May.

　　二、Consideration 體諒

　　寫(xiě)信時(shí)要處處從對(duì)方的'角度去考慮有什么需求，而不是從自身出發(fā)，語(yǔ)氣上更尊重對(duì)方。

　　例如：

　　"You earn 2 percent discount when you pay cash. We will send you the brochure next month. "就比"We allow 2 percent discount for cash payment. We won't be able to send you the brochure this month." 要好。

　　三、Completeness 完整

　　一封商業(yè)信函應(yīng)概況了各項(xiàng)必需的事項(xiàng)，如邀請(qǐng)信應(yīng)說(shuō)明時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)等，確忌寄出含糊不清的信件。

　　四、Clarity 清楚

　　意思表達(dá)明確，要注意：

　　(一)避免用詞錯(cuò)誤：

　　例如：As to the steamers sailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco, we have bimonthly direct services.

　　此處bimonthly有歧義：可以是twice a month 或者once two month.故讀信者就迷惑了，可以改寫(xiě)為：

　　1.We have two direct sailings every month from Hong Kong to San Francisco.

　　2.We have semimonthly direct sailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco.

　　3.We have a direct sailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco.

　　(二)注意詞語(yǔ)所放的位置：

　　例如：
