商务英语书信写作有哪些注意事项?

  商业信函有其自身的特点。下面是商务书信写作中的几点注意事项。

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。
  

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。

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。 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。affect用作动词的时候,意为“影响”,相当于have an effect on,并且,这个影响一般是指不好的影响,如:The climate affected his health。
  (气候影响了他的健康。)至于effect,一般用作名词,若用作动词,其意为“招致,引起”。总之,要多多积累同义词的辨析,注意词义及表达色彩。

9。拼写正确。

犯单词拼写等低级错误很容易给人造成一种不好的感觉,觉得你写信的时候不够认真,态度不够诚恳。
  

10。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。
