ThisisanenglishwritinghowtoIcopiedfromsomewhere(namewithheld)sometimeago.hopefullyyou‘llfindithelpfultoo.

日常要处理许多信件电邮,因而运用英语上不得不留神,以下有一些个人意见,也参考了一些书本,希望大家有所得益。

A.文法上

1.切忌主客不分或模糊.例子:Decidingtorescindtheearlierestimate,ourreportwasupdatedtoinclude$40,000fornewequipment.”应改为Decidingtorescindourearlierestimate,wehaveupdatedourreporttoinclude$40,000fornewequipment.(We决定呀,不是report.)

2.句子不要凌碎.例子:Hedecidednottoauditthelasttencontracts.Becauseofourpreviousobjectionsaboutcompliance.应该连在一起.

3.结构对称,令人容易理解.例子:Theownerquestionedtheoccupant‘sleaseintentionsandthefactthatthecontracthadbeenalteredwithinkmarkings.应改为:Theownerquestionedtheoccupant‘sleaseintentionsandinkalterationsofthecontract.

4.单众数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒服.例如:Anauthorizedpersonmustshowthattheyhavesecurityclearance.

5.动词主词要呼应.想想这两个分别:1.Thisisoneofthepublic-relationsfunctionsthatisunderbudgeted.2.Thisisoneofthepublic-relationsfunctions,whichareunderbudgeted.

6.时态和语气不要转变太多.看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费人家的精力啊.

7.标点要准确.例如:Hedidnotmakerepairs,however,hecontinuedtomonitortheequipment.改为:Hedidnotmakerepairs;however,hecontinuedtomonitortheequipment.

8.选词正确.好像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦.

9.拼字正确.有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒.

10.大小写要注意.非必要不要整个字都是大写,除非要骂人,:,例如:MUSTchangetoOSimmediately.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.
