Ken Green, President /Ken Green / Vice President of International Operations NO:Ken Green /Vice President of Unicom China YES: Ken Green /Vice President, Unicom China 7、老外的名字有时有 Jr. 或 Sr.,之前的逗点是随你喜欢的 ,以下都是正确,不要笑人 : YES: Michael J. Smith, Jr. /Michael J. Smith Sr. 8、用人家的名字总好过人家的头衔称呼 . 如果没有名字 ,或者是很正规信的信件 ,可以考虑 这些: Dear Committee Member: Dear Meeting Planner: Dear Colleagues: To All Sales Reps: To Whom It May Concern: Dear Sir or Madam: Dear Madam or Sir: Dear Purchasing Agent: 如果是全公司: YES: Gentlemen or Ladies: Ladies or Gentlemen: 9、有时见到人家用冒号就说人家错 ,其实也未必啊,看: YES:Dear Mr. Jones: (非常正规 ) Dear Joan: Dear Jim, Jim, (非正规 ) 三、拼写 1、E-mail 的非正式的文体特点并不意味它的撰写可以马虎行事,特别是给长辈或上级写 信,或者撰写业务信函更是如此。写完信后,一定要认真检查有无拼写、语法和标点符号的 误。当然 Outlook Express 等软件的 '拼写检查'功能可以助你一臂之力。 2、外国国名尽量用大写 .是为尊重,也方便邮差. 3、标点要准确 NO:He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. YES:He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 4、大小写要注意 非必要,不要整个字都是大写,除非要骂人。 NO:MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。 YES:要强调的话,用底线,斜字,粗体就可以了。 四、结尾部分 A、书信的结尾致意要留意 ,弄清大家的关系才选择用词,例子: 1、 Very Formal 非常正规的(例如给政府官员的) Respectfully yours, Yours respectfully, 2、 Formal 正规的(例如客户公司之间啦 ) Very truly yours, Yours very truly, Yours truly, 3、 Less Formal 不太正规的(例如客户 ) Sincerely yours, Yours sincerely, Sincerely, Cordially yours, Yours cordially, Cordially, 4、 Informal 非正规的 (例如朋友 ,同事之类 ) Regards, Warm regards, With kindest regards, With my best regards, My best, Give my best to Mary, Fondly, Thanks, See you next week!
有时在 we, I, and you 之间选择是很烦的事 -- 如果是公司代表联络生意之类 ,可以用 : We will reimburse you for these legal expenses. Sinopec will reimburse you for these legal expenses. 如 果 单 纯 说 你 自 己 , 可 以 用 : I found the brochure very informative. 有 时 可 以 一 起 用 啦 ...: We are pleased to offer you the position of sales director, and I am looking forward to our Tuesday morning meeting. 那么 I 和 you 呢 ?好烦好烦.一般来说 ,收信人的利益比较重要 ,名义上都要这样想 .给人尊重 的语气就一般不会错了 . 多用 you 有时会有隔阂的感觉. You will be pleased to learn that you have been selected to serve on our advisory board. Your prompt response will be appreciated. (好像欠你一样) I am pleased that our board has selected you as the best qualified candidate to serve on our advisory board. I hope you’ll agree to serve. (这就友善多了) Your book was well written and comprehensive. (不用你来判断我呀~~) I thoroughly enjoyed your book and found an answer to every one of my questions about performance appraisals. (客气一点,人家受落 ) 总之,语气和宾词的运用得当能决定你的礼貌程度. B、 信尾客套话( Complimentary close)通常也很简明。常常只须一个词,如: 'Thanks' , 'Best' ,'Cheers' ,不需要用一般信函中的 'Sincerely yours'或 'Best regards' 。 C、签名:不要把 Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr.之类一起签 ,人家会笑你的 ... 签名也看信件的语气 . 给朋友或公司客户,签 Bill 也可以,给陌生人就最好用 Gates 或者 Bill Gates 啦. 五、其它注意事项: A、文法 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 我们是主语, 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、单复数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒服。 例如: An authorized person 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 under budgeted. 2) This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under budgeted.
