3页email 写作技巧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确定呀, 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. 应当连在一起 3.结构对称,令人简单理解例子:The owner questioned the occupants lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings. 应改为:The owner questioned the occupants lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract. 4.单众数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒适。
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,不要奢侈人家的精力啊 7.标点要精确例如: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.选词正确似乎affect和effect, operative和operational等等就要弄清晰才好用啦 9.拼字正确有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒。
10.大小写要留意非必要不要整个字都是大写,除非要骂人例如:MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样要强调的话,用底线,斜字,粗体就可以了 B. 文体 1.可读性对象是高校程度的话,用中学的英文就行,不要以为人人都是语言大师多用短句(15-20字吧),技术性的字,就更加要简洁易明 2.留意段落的开头一般来说,重要或强调的事情都放在信件或段落的开头,而句子就放在最尾例如:1.Because he was unable to attend the meeting personally, he forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape. 2.He forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape because he was unable to attend the meeting personally. 两者强调的事情就有分别了 3.轻重有分同等重要的用and来连接,较轻放在次要的句子里 4.意思转接词要留神例如:but (相反),therefore (结论),also (增加),for example (阐明)。
分不清furthermore和moreover就不要用啦 5.句子开头不要模糊不清的主词例子:These decisions have been a big disappointment to the committee members. They have delayed further action. They是指什么呀?开头少用this, that, it, they, 或 which. 6.修饰词的位置要当心例如:He could only reimburse the cost after July 15. 应为 He could reimburse the cost only after July 15. 7.用语要确定精确,切忌模糊例如:The figures show a significant increase.“ 怎样significant呀,大哥?改为:The figures show an increase of 19%. 8.立场观点一样,少用被动语例如: Partial data should be submitted by April. 改为:You should submit partial data by April.就很好了。
