（一）遵循“忠实、通顺”的翻译标准
首先，应当准确、忠实地再现原文信函的思想内容及风格 特征。准确达意、简洁明了是英文商务信函的基本特征，因此， 合格的译文也理应具备这些特征。例如：“offer”我们可以翻译 Se为c 1“提供、建议”，但在特定的书信中，“offer”则只能翻译为 “要约（要约是当事人一方向对方发出的希望与对方订立合同 Se的c 2意思表示。发出要约的一方称要约人，接收要约的一方称受 要约人）、发盘（交易的一方为了销售或购买一批商品，向对
Sec 4
方提出有关的交易条件，并表示愿按这些条件达成一笔交易， Se这c 6种意思表示的行为称作发盘）”，相应的“offferer、offeree”

4. Inside Name and Address (信内地址 (2) 信内地址) 信内地址 When the company is named after one or more persons, e.g. James, Smith Co. ; Brown & White Bros. , etc., the word “Messrs”, the plural of “Mr.” and the abbr. of “Messieurs”, has to be used. e.g. Messrs. Harrison & Co. 32, Duke Street London N. W. 4 England If the receiver is an individual in the company, the person’s name should be preceded by the courtesy title, i.e. “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, “Miss” or “Ms.”. If you are not sure whether or not the woman to whom you are writing is married, use “Ms.”. This title is now perfectly acceptable, especially in view of the fact that many career women prefer it. e.g.

5. The Salutation (称呼 称呼) 称呼 The salutation is the polite greeting with which a letter begins. It should be placed two lines below the inside address. There are many forms of salutation in a business letter. The particular form used depends upon the writer’s relationship with the receiver. To some extent, the salutation settles the form of the complimentary close. The customary greeting in a business letter is “Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss...(姓)” or “Dear...(名)”. “Dear Sirs” or “Gentlemen” is used when the letter is not addressed to a specific person. Note that “Gentlemen” is seldom used nowadays and “Sirs” cannot be used alone. Quite often now companies are owned and/or managed by women, and it is more and more customary to use the greeting “Dear Madam or Sir”, if the writer is not sure whether the letter will be read by a man or a woman. Whatever its form is, the salutation always appears on a line by itself and is followed by a comma or a colon.
LOGO
Part One
4. Inside Name and Address (信内地址 (1) 信内地址) 信内地址 It consists of the name and address of the receiver. It appears exactly the same way as on the envelope. Inside name and address are always put at the left margin at least two lines below the date. When the receiver is a company, type the name of the company directly. When the appropriate head of department is known, address the letter to e.g. The Sales Manager The Space Engineering Co., Ltd. 830 W. Lauridsen Boulevard Port Angeles, WA 98363 USA
As the first and most obvious part of a business letter, the letterhead expresses a company’s personality. It helps to form one’s impression of the writer’s firm. Styles vary considerably, but they all give similar information and include the essential particulars about the writer—name, address, zip-code, telephone number, telegram/telex/fax number and e-mail address of the company. It is usually designed and printed in the center or on the left margin at the top of the page.
Part One
2. Reference Number (参考号 发文编号 参考号/发文编号 参考号 发文编号) The reference number is generally used as a useful indication for filing and consulting for both sides, so it must be easily seen. It may include a file number, a contract number, an L/C number or the initials of the signer and the typist’s initials. If you find the reference number in the incoming letter you need to take the form as “your ref.” and “our ref.” in your reply. The position of the reference number is often one or two lines below the letterhead.
LOGO
Part One
6. The Subject Line (事由标题 事由标题) 事由标题 The subject line is often inserted between the salutation and the body of the letter, either beginning at the left margin or the centre, depending on which style you are using. The subject line helps to invite attention to the topic of the letter. It is especially useful if two companies have a lot of correspondence with each other on a variety of subjects, as it immediately tells what the letter is about. It is also useful as a guide for filing. It can begin with or without “Re:” or “Subject:”. Sometimes, you can see the subject line is underlined. No matter what the form is, it should always denote what the letter is about. e.g. Re: Sewing Machines Subject: Sewing Machines Sewing Machines
