英文電子郵件寫作技巧(1)
日常要處理許多信件電郵,因而運(yùn)用英語上不得不留神,以下有一些個(gè)人意見,也參考了一些書本,希望大家有所得益。
一、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.”
應(yīng)改為：deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (we決定呀, 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. 應(yīng)該連在一起.
3、結(jié)構(gòu)對(duì)稱,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.
應(yīng)改為: the owner questioned the occupant’s lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.
4.單眾數(shù)不要搞亂,不然會(huì)好刺眼,看不舒服.
例如: an authorized person must show that they have security clearance.
5.動(dòng)詞主詞要呼應(yīng). 想想這兩個(gè)分別:
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.時(shí)態(tài)和語氣不要轉(zhuǎn)變太多.看商務(wù)英語已經(jīng)是苦事,不要浪費(fèi)人家的精力啊.
7.標(biāo)點(diǎn)要準(zhǔn)確.
例如: he did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
改為: he did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
8.選詞正確. 好像affect和effect, operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦.
9.拼字正確. 有電腦拼字檢查功能后,就更加不能偷懶.
10.大小寫要注意.非必要不要整個(gè)字都是大寫,除非要罵人
例如: must change to os immediately. 外國(guó)人就覺得不禮貌和喝令人一樣. 要強(qiáng)調(diào)的話,用底線,斜字,粗體就可以了.
