英文电子邮件写作技巧一、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.” 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.) 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. 应该连在一起. 3、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. 4.单众数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒服. 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,不要浪费人家的精力啊. 7.标点要准确. 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. 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: 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. 二、 写信提示 1.人家的名字千万不要错.老一辈的看到名字错就干脆撵去垃圾桶. 同样, 头衔都不要错. 头衔或学位,任择其一吧.以下是一样的: Howard E. Wyatt, D.D.SPhD. Dr. Howard E. Hyatt 2.多过一个男人,用 Messrs,就是 Misters 的意思,不过不要跟名字,跟姓就行啦.例如: Messrs...
