書信寫作的十大注意事項
商業信函有其自身的特點。下面是商務書信寫作中的幾點注意事項,小心不要在你自己的工作中出現這樣的錯誤哦!接下來,小編給大家準備了,歡迎大家參考與借鑑。
1.切忌主客不分或模糊。例子: Deciding to rescind1 the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.應改為 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. ***We決定呀, 不是report.***
2.句子不要零碎。

3.結構對稱,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. 應改為: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations5 of the contract.
4.單複數不要搞亂,不然會好刺眼,看著不舒服。例如: An authorized6 person must show that they have security clearance7. 應改為 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.
5.動詞和主語要呼應。想想這兩個句子的分別: 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.時態和語氣不要轉換太多。看商務英語已經是苦事,不要浪費人家的精力啊。
7.標點要準確。例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 應改為: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
8.選詞正確。像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
9.拼字正確。有電腦拼字檢查功能後,就更加不能偷懶。
10.大小寫要注意。除非必要不要整個詞都大寫,除非要罵人。例如: MUST change to OS immediately. 外國人就覺得不禮貌和喝令人一樣。要強調的話,用底線,斜字,粗體就可以了。

到目前為止,我所看到的一切都令我印象深刻,真的十分深刻。
情境短語
1. get acquainted ***with…*** ***和`……***認識,熟悉……
這個常用的短語暗示雙方從不認識到熟識, "get"可換 "become"。若是短語之後,要加上被認識的物件,以介係詞 "with"連線。
例: Our boss got acquainted with a couple of real estate agents in the golf Club.
***我們老闆在高爾夫俱樂部裡結識了幾位做房地產的商人。***
2. on top of things 完全掌握
字面的意思是將問題克服,高高踩在上面,引申為"控制全域性"。
例: The new manager was always worried he wasn't on top of things.
***新經理一直擔心自己無法掌握全域性。***
3. ***a*** force to be reckoned with 值得注意的人物
"***a*** force","力量",可以指一個團體、事物或個人; "reckon"在此的意思為"認定"。 "a force to be reckoned with"是形容"有成功的條件而值得注意的人物、團體"。
例: The new company will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
***這家新公司未來值得大家注意。***
4. Don't I know it. 我完全同意!
當此句型以句點***.***而非問號結尾時,表示完全同意對的方意見,為口語用法,強調的是肯定的含意。意思為"我怎會不知道!?;我當然明白這一點!"。
例: You say the discount rate is too low? Don't I know it!
***你說這折扣打得太少?我完全同意!***
5. in a nutshell 簡言之
"nutshell"原為"堅果殼",又指"極小的容器",故 "in a nutshell" 這個副詞短語的意思是"簡言之"。
例: Bob told us in a nutshell what happened in the managers' meeting.
***Bob簡略地告訴我們經理們開會的情形。***
6. growth sector 成長領域
這個經濟學上的名詞是指經濟成長特別快速的領域, "sector"是"區域;部門"的意思。
例: The leisure and entertainment industry is a growth sector in Taiwan.
***休閒娛樂業是臺灣目前的成長領域。***
