商务书信写作10大注意事项
商务书信,在商务英语的地位是很重要的,那么在商务书信的.写作中有什么要注意的呢?下面就和小编一起来看看吧!
一、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决定呀, 不是report.)
二、句子不要零碎。
例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 两个句子应该连在一起:He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.
三、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.
四、单复数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看着不舒服。
例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. 应改为 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.
五、动词和主语要呼应。
想想这两个句子的分别: 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.
六、时态和语气不要转换太多。
看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费人家的精力啊。
七、标点要准确。
例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 应改为: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
八、选词正确。
像 affect和effect,operative和operational等 等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
九、拼字正确。
有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒。
十、大小写要注意。
除非 必要不要整个词都大写,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。
