外贸函电写作技巧与规范

外贸函电写作技巧与规范 This is an english writing howto I copied from somewhere (name withheld) some time ago. hopefully you'll find it helpful too. 日常要处理许多信件电邮,因而运用英语上不得不留神,以下有一些个人意见,也参考了一些书本,希望大家有所得益。 外贸函电写作技巧之一 A. 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.” 应改为Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We决定呀, 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. 应该连在一起. 3.结构对称,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. 应改为: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract. 4.单众数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒服. 例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. 5.动词主词要呼应. 想想这两个分别: 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.时态和语气不要转变太多.看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费人家的精力啊. 7.标点要准确. 例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 改为: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 8.选词正确. 好像affect和effect, operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦.

商务英语信函写作技巧

商务英语信函写作技巧 导语:商务英语的实用性很强,外商在这方面不能随意,要有着严 格的规范。下面是商务英语信函写作技巧,欢迎参考。 1、外贸工作中商务英语信函的写作技巧 商务信函写作能力直接影响到买家对GS 的评估,给客户的每一份 信函、邮件或者传真,都代表着GS 的形象,显示GS 的水平和实力。同 时,也可以用这种方式来评估和了解买家。商务信函写作决定了是否以 专业的方式跟买家进行有效的沟通,在业务往来中占据着举足轻重的地 位。因此,商务信函的写作技巧是国际商务人员必须掌握的一门重要功课。 一封商务信函通常由信头(Letterhead)、信函编号(Reference Number)、日期(Date)、信内地址(Inside Address)、请某人注意行(Attention)、称呼(Salutation )、主题(Subject)、正文(Body of theletter)、结尾敬辞(Complimentary Close)、签名(Signature)、附件(Enclosure)、抄送(Carbon Copy Notation)和附言(Postscript)组成。其中信头、日期、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾敬辞和签名是不可缺少的组成部分,其他部 分可根据GS 习惯和信函具体内容有所增减。因此要符合上述交流的要求,并且树立起专业,以顾客为本和思维清晰的形象,要注意如下一些问 题。 1.1 读者 了解读者是成功的关键。无论任何交流(无论是文书的还是口头 的交流)的首要原则便是了解听众,一切都围绕着这一原则进行。 1.2 遣词 简单的词效果是最好的。阅读理解研究的结果显示,如果文章的 难度稍稍低于人们通常的理解水平,那他们理解起来就会更快。在生意

外贸英语函电书写格式要求

外贸英语函电书写格式要求 各位读友大家好,此文档由网络收集而来,欢迎您下载,谢谢 篇一:外贸英语函电写作技巧 外贸英语函电写作技巧 英文信函的信头也称信端,其内容包括发件公司的名称、标志、通信地址、电话号码、传真号、电子邮箱等。书写信头的目的是为了方便收件人了解信函来自何处,并为回复提供联系方式。 很多公司都会印制带信头的信纸。一般来说,人们喜欢将简单的信头放在信纸上端居中,将复杂的信头放在信纸的右侧或上下两端。在使用这种信纸打印信函时,一定要注意为信头留出足够的空间。 对于私人商务信函,如求职信等,信头通常写在信纸的右上方。 如果信函的长度超过两页,那么从第2页开始就不再需要信头了,只需写

上页码、收件人姓名及日期。 英文地址的书写和中文地址的书写有很大区别,应遵循从小到大的原则。特别值得注意的是,地址中的标点符号需正确使用。当前的习惯做法是,行末一般不加标点符号,但行中间该加标点的地方,还是不应省略。门牌号码与街道名称之间不加标点,但是在城市与国家名称之间必须用逗号分开。 英文商务信函中称呼的书写有讲究 在英文信函书写中称呼是对收信人的尊称语。一般位于信内地址下方空一行;有Attention时也一样,位于Attention 下面空一行。称呼后面一般用逗号(英式),也可以用冒号(美式)。 如果信是写给公司的,并没有直接的联系人,称呼应为:“Dear Sirs,”(英式)或“Gentlemen:”(美式)。在不能确定收信人性别的情况下,还可以使用To Whom It May Concern或Dear Madam or Sir。不过这两种称呼应尽量避免使用,因为人们觉得它们不能显示足够的友
