书写商务函电的十点注重事项

  商业书信通常都非常正式,要求表达一定要非常清楚,否则会给业务来往造成麻烦 . 下面是有关文法的tips,看看你有没有犯同样的错误哦!
  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. (是We 来decide, 不是report.)
  2、句子不要零碎 . 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、对称的结构比较轻易让人理解 . 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、 单复数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看着不舒适 . 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 are under budgeted. 2). This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under budgeted.
  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、选词要正确,像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦 .
  9、拼写要正确,有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒 . 也许一笔好买卖就因为你的一个错字飞掉了哦!
  10、 大小写要注重 . 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 .
