商務書信寫作10大注意事項

 一、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. (We決定呀, 不是report.)

二、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.

三、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 alterations of the contract.

四、單複數不要搞亂,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.

五、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.

六、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。

七、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.

八、選詞正確。

像 affect和effect,operative和operational等 等就要弄清楚才好用啦。

九、拼字正確。

電腦拼字檢查功能後,就更加不能偷懶。

十、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。
