(一) 英文书信的组成部分英文书信一般由六部分组成。
即:信头(Heading)、信内地址(Inside Address),称呼(Salutation),正文(Body of Letter)、结束语(Complimentary Close)、署名(Signature),有时在书信后面还有附言(Postscript)、附件(Enclosure),这得视具体情况而定。
下面将分别说明。
1. 信头(Heading)信头是指写信人的地址和写信日期,一般写在或打在第一面信纸的右上角,先写地址再写日期,地址的写法是从小到大,先写门牌号、路号,再写区名、市名、省名,最后写国名。
时间的写法对英国人和美国人而言是不同的。
英国人习惯按日、月、年的顺序写,而美国人习惯按月、日、年的顺序写。
例如:英式:1st October,1999美式:October 1,1999在使用前一种形式时,月和年之间的逗号可用可不用,但是在后一种形式中,必需要使用逗号。
信头的写法有缩进式和齐头式。
缩进式每行开头向右缩进一两个字母;齐头式左边对齐排列,如下所示:缩进式Wang MingDept. of Chemical EngineeringDalian University of TechnologyDalian 116023Liaoning ProvinceP. R. China齐头式Wang MingDept. of Chemical EngineeringDalian University of TechnologyDalian 116023Liaoning ProvinceP. R. China2. 信内地址(Inside Address)信内地址要写出收信人的姓名和地址。
一般给比较生疏的亲友的信和公事信件要写出信内地址,而熟悉朋友可以省去这一步骤。
信内地址写出在日期下一两行的左上角,第一行写收信人的称呼姓名,然后写出地址。
地质也是从小到大写出,分缩进式和齐头式两种。
英语书信格式英语书信的格式一般包含以下几个部分:信头(Heading)、称呼(Salutation)、正文(Body)、结束语(Closing)和签名(Signature)。
下面是一份典型的英语书信格式范例:信头(Heading):Your NameYour AddressCity, State, ZIP CodeEmail AddressPhone Number日期(Date)称呼(Salutation):Dear Mr./Ms./Mrs. Last Name,正文(Body):这部分通常是书信的核心内容,可根据自己的需求分段。

英语书信署名的正确格式在写英语书信时,署名是非常重要的一部分。
恰当的署名格式可以体现出你的礼貌和专业态度。
本文将介绍英语书信署名的正确格式,以帮助你在书写英语书信时避免出错。
首先,英语书信的署名通常放置在信件的右下角。
下面是英语书信署名的正确格式:1. 个人书信署名格式:[Your Name][Your Title/Position (if applicable)][Your Company/Organization (if applicable)][Your Address][City, State/Province, Zip/Postal Code][Country][Email Address][Phone Number][Date]以下是一个例子:John SmithMarketing ManagerABC Company123 Main StreetNew York, NY 10001United States**********************(123) 456-7890March 1, 20222. 商务书信署名格式:[Your Name][Your Title/Position][Company Name][Company Address][City, State/Province, Zip/Postal Code] [Country][Email Address][Phone Number][Date]以下是一个例子:Jane DoeSales DirectorXYZ Corporation456 Park AvenueLondon, UK SW1A 2XXUnited Kingdom********************+44 1234 567890March 1, 2022需要注意的是,商务书信的署名通常包含职位和公司名称,而个人书信则根据具体情况添加。
此外,英语书信的日期应放在署名的下方,写在左对齐的位置。
英语书信的格式
a 信头(heading)
信头包括写信人地址和写信日期,通常写在信笺的右上角。在比较熟识的朋友之
间的通信,写信人的地址常可略去。本课的信头就只写了写信日期,而没有写信人的地
址。日期通常有下列两种定法:
(a)月、日、年:如august 15, 200__
(b)日、月、年:如15th august, 200__
地址的写法通常是由小到大,如:门牌号、街道名、市(县)名、省名、国名
(邮政编码通常写在城市名之后)。这同中文书信的地址写法完全相反。地址可以写1~3
行,日期写在地址的下方(见信笺格式)。
b 称呼(salutation)
称呼指写信人对收信人的称呼,如dear xiaojun,写在信头的下方和信笺的左
边。称呼一般用dear…或my dear…开头,称呼后一般用逗号。
c 正文(body)
这是书信的主体部分,即写信人要表达的内容。正文要求文字通顺,层次分明,
表意清楚。可以手书,也可以打写。
d 结束语(complimentary close)
它是书信结尾的恭维话,相当于文中书信最后的“祝好”、“致礼”之类的话
语。本课书信中的“best wishes”(致以最好的祝愿)就是结束语。
e 签名(signature)
签名通常签在结束语下方的中间偏右的位置,如本课信中的charlie。签名应是
亲笔书写,即使是打写机打出的信件,最后仍需亲笔签名。在签名的上方可根据写信人和
收信人的关系写上sincerely yours/yours sincerely(用于长辈或朋友之间),或
respectfully yours/yours respectfully(用于对长辈或上级)。
1、信头(heading)
指发信人的姓名(单位名称)、地址和日期,一般写在信纸的右上角。一般公函
或商业信函的信纸上都印有单位或公司的名称、地址、电话号码等,因此就只需在信头下
面的右边写上写信日期就可以了。
英文地址的写法与中文完全不同,地址的名称按从小到大的顺序:第一行写门牌
号码和街名;第二行写县、市、省、州、邮编、国名;然后再写日期。标点符号一般在每
一行的末尾都不用,但在每一行的之间,该用的还要用,例如在写日期的时候。
日期的写法,如1997年7月30日,英文为:july 30,1997(最为普遍);july
30th,1997;30th july,1997等。1997不可写成97。
2、信内地址(inside address)
在一般的社交信中,信内收信人的地址通常省略,但是在公务信函中不能。将收
信人的姓名、地址等写在信头日期下方的左角上,要求与对信头的要求一样,不必再写日
期。例如:
3、称呼(salutation)
是写信人对收信人的称呼用语。位置在信内地址下方一、二行的地方,从该行的
顶格写起,在称呼后面一般用逗号(英国式),也可以用冒号(美国式)。
(1)写给亲人、亲戚和关系密切的朋友时,用dear或my dear再加上表示亲属
关系的称呼或直称其名(这里指名字,不是姓氏)。例如:my dear father,dear tom
等。
(2)写给公务上的信函用dear madam,dear sir或gentleman(gentlemen)。
注意:dear纯属公务上往来的客气形式。gentlemen总是以复数形式出现,前不加dear,
是dear sir的复数形式。
(3)写给收信人的信,也可用头衔、职位、职称、学位等再加姓氏或姓氏和名
字。例如:dear prof. tim scales, dear dr.john smith。
4、正文(body of the letter)
位置在下面称呼语隔一行,是信的核心部分。因此要求正文层次分明、简单易
懂。和中文信不同的是,正文中一般不用hello!(你好!)
正文有缩进式和齐头式两种。每段书信第一行的第一个字母稍微向右缩进些,通
常以五个字母为宜,每段第二行从左面顶格写起,这就是缩进式。
但美国人写信各段落往往不用缩进式,用齐头式,即每一行都从左面顶格写起。
商务信件大都采用齐头式的写法。
5、结束语(complimentary close)
在正文下面的一、二行处,从信纸的中间偏右处开始,第一个词开头要大写,句
末用逗号。不同的对象,结束语的写法也不同。
(1)写给家人、亲戚,用your loving grandfather,lovingly yours,
lovingly等;
(2)写给熟人、朋友,用yours cordially,yours affectionately等;
(3)写业务信函用truely yours(yours truely),faithfully yours(yours
faithfully)等;
(4)对上级、长辈用yours obediently(obediently yours),yours
respectfully(respectfully yours)等。
6、签名(signature)
低于结束语一至二行,从信纸中间偏右的地方开始,在结束语的正下方,在签完
名字的下面还要有用打字机打出的名字,以便识别。职务、职称可打在名字的下面。当
然,写给亲朋好友的信,就不必再打了。
7、附言(postscript)
一封信写完了,突然又想起遗漏的事情,这时用p.s.表示,再写上遗漏的话即
可,要长话短说。通常在信末签名下面几行的左方,应于正文齐头。
注意:在正式的信函中,应避免使用附言。
8、附件(enclosure)
信件如果有附件,可在信纸的左下角,注上encl:或enc:,例如:encl:2
photos(内附两张照片)。如果福建附件不止一项,应写成encl:或encs。
我们有时可看到在称呼与正文之间有re:或subject:(事由)字样。一般在信
纸的中间,也可与“称呼”对齐。还应在底下加横线,以引起读信人的注意,使收信人便
于在读信之前就可了解信中的主要内容。事由一般在公务信函中使用,也可以省略。
