  商務來往中,當然少不了書信的寫作,那么在商務書信寫作中有什么需要注意的地方呢?來看看吧。

  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. 應改為 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment.

  2. 單復數(shù)不要搞亂,不然會好刺眼,看著不舒服。

  例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. 應改為 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.

  3. 結(jié)構(gòu)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 alterations of the contract.

  4. 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.

  5. 句子不要零碎。

  例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 兩個句子應該連在一起:He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.

  6. 時態(tài)和語氣不要轉(zhuǎn)換太多。

  看商務英語已經(jīng)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后,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(diào)的話,用底線,斜字,粗體就可以了。
