PAGEPAGE11商务英语书信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:Decidingtorescindtheearlierestimate,ourreportwasupdatedtoinclude$40,000fornewequipment.应改为Decidingtorescindourearlierestimate,wehaveupdatedourreporttoinclude$40,000fornewequipment.(We决定呀,不是report.)2.句子不要零碎。例子:Hedecidednottoauditthelasttencontracts.Becauseofourpreviousobjectionsaboutcompliance.两个句子应该连在一起：Hedecidednottoauditthelasttencontractsbecauseofourpreviousobjectionsaboutcompliance.3.结构对称,令人容易理解。例子:Theownerquestionedtheoccupant'sleaseintentionsandthefactthatthecontracthadbeenalteredwithinkmarkings.应改为:Theownerquestionedtheoccupant'sleaseintentionsandinkalterationsofthecontract.4.单复数不要搞乱，不然会好刺眼，看着不舒服。例如:Anauthorizedpersonmustshowthattheyhavesecurityclearance.应改为Authorizedpersonsmustshowthattheyhavesecurityclearance.5.动词和主语要呼应。想想这两个句子的分别:1.Thisisoneofthepublic-relationsfunctionsthatisunder-budgeted.2.Thisisoneofthepublic-relationsfunctions,whichareunder-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:Hedidnotmakerepairs,however,hecontinuedtomonitortheequipment.应改为:Hedidnotmakerepairs;however,hecontinuedtomonitortheequipment.8.选词正确。像affect和effect，operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。9.拼字正确。有电脑拼字检查功能后，就更加不能偷懒。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:MUSTchangetoOSimmediately.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。一.商业书信常用开头语OpeningPhrases&SentencesGenerallyUsedInBusinessLetters（1）特此奉告等Toinformoneof;Tosay;Tostate;Tocommunicate;Toadviseoneof;Tobringtoone'snotice(knowledge);Tolaybeforeone;Topointout;Toindicate;Tomention;Toappriseoneof;Toannounce;Toremark;Tocallone'sattentionto;Toremindoneof;etc.1.Wearepleasedtoinformyouthat2.Wehavepleasureininformingyouthat3.Wehavethepleasuretoappriseyouof4.Wehavethehonourtoinformyouthat(of)5.Wetakethelibertyofannouncingtoyouthat6.Wehavetoinformyouthat(of)7.Wehavetoadviseyouof(that)8.Wewishtoinformyouthat(of)9.Wethinkitadvisabletoinformyouthat(of)10.Wearepleasedtohavethisopportunityofremindingyouthat(of)11.Wetaketheadvantageofthisopportunitytobringbeforeyournotice12.Plea
