本文摘自:百度搜索“English兼职网”

在职场中我们有时需要写商务信件,怎样准确地表达英文的商务书信,那是一件非常重要的事。下面群英网就告诉大家写英文商务书信时要注意的十个事项,还不懂怎样写的人可以学一下,懂的人看你会不会犯这种错误。
      1.切忌主客不分或模糊。
例: 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, 不是report.)
      2.句子不要零碎。
例: 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.
      3.结构对称,令人容易理解。
例: 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.单复数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看着不舒服。
例: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance.
应改为:
Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.
      5.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.
      6.时态和语气不要转换太多。看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费别人的精力。
      7.标点要准确。
例: 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.
      8.选词正确。
像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
      9.拼字正确。
      10.大小写要注意。
除非必要不要整个词都大写。例: 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。

说实话,学英语没什么好方法,电视上那些大都没用,开始学英语时,觉得难是正常的,单词要靠记忆,哥有绝招:快速看一下单词,闭眼睛想想它是怎么拼的,如果一下就回忆出来,就记住了,先从短的单词入手,再记长的.单词记住了再组成短语就不难了。实在不行的话,我给你推荐个乐知英语。不错滴,、,有兴趣可以去试听一下他们每晚的免费试听课程,地址: http://www.hiknow.com/sessionhall.html。
