實(shí)用商務(wù)英語電郵寫作常見錯誤舉例
A.文法上
1.切忌主客不分或模糊.例子:Decidingtorescindtheearlierestimate,ourreportwasupdatedtoinclude$40,000fornewequipment.”應(yīng)改為Decidingtorescindourearlierestimate,wehaveupdatedourreporttoinclude$40,000fornewequipment.(We決定呀,不是report.)
2.句子不要凌碎.例子:Hedecidednottoauditthelasttencontracts.Becauseofourpreviousobjectionsaboutcompliance.應(yīng)該連在一起.
3.結(jié)構(gòu)對稱,令人容易理解.例子:Theownerquestionedtheoccupant’sleaseintentionsandthefactthatthecontracthadbeenalteredwithinkmarkings.應(yīng)改為:Theownerquestionedtheoccupant’sleaseintentionsandinkalterationsofthecontract.
4.單眾數(shù)不要搞亂,不然會好刺眼,看不舒服.例如:Anauthorizedpersonmustshowthattheyhavesecurityclearance.
5.動詞主詞要呼應(yīng).想想這兩個(gè)分別:1.Thisisoneofthepublic-relationsfunctionsthatisunderbudgeted.2.Thisisoneofthepublic-relationsfunctions,whichareunderbudgeted.
6.時(shí)態(tài)和語氣不要轉(zhuǎn)變太多.看商務(wù)英語已經(jīng)是苦事,不要浪費(fèi)人家的精力啊.
7.標(biāo)點(diǎn)要準(zhǔn)確.例如:Hedidnotmakerepairs,however,hecontinuedtomonitortheequipment.改為:Hedidnotmakerepairs;however,hecontinuedtomonitortheequipment.
8.選詞正確.好像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.非必要不要整個(gè)字都是大寫,除非要罵人,:,例如:MUSTchangetoOSimmediately.外國人就覺得不禮貌和喝令人一樣.要強(qiáng)調(diào)的話,用底線,斜字,粗體就可以了.
B.文體
1.可讀性.對象是大學(xué)程度的話,用高中的英文就行,不要以為人人都是語言大師.多用短句(15-20字吧),技術(shù)性的字,就更加要簡單易明.
2.注意段落的開頭.一般來說,重要或強(qiáng)調(diào)的`事情都放在信件或段落的開頭,而句子就放在最尾.例如:1.Becausehewasunabletoattendthemeetingpersonally,heforwardedhiscongratulationsoncassettetape.2.Heforwardedhiscongratulationsoncassettetapebecausehewasunabletoattendthemeetingpersonally.兩者強(qiáng)調(diào)的事情就有分別了.
3.輕重有分.同等重要的用and來連接,較輕放在次要的句子里.
4.意思轉(zhuǎn)接詞要留神.例如:but(相反),therefore(結(jié)論),also(增添),forexample(闡明).分不清furthermore和moreover就不要用啦.
5.句子開頭不要含糊不清的主詞.例子:Thesedecisionshavebeenabigdisappointmenttothecommitteemembers.Theyhavedelayedfurtheraction.They是指什么呀開頭少用this,that,it,they,或which.
6.修飾詞的位置要小心,例如:HecouldonlyreimbursethecostafterJuly15.應(yīng)為HecouldreimbursethecostonlyafterJuly15.
7.用語要肯定準(zhǔn)確.切忌含糊.例如:Thefiguresshowasignificantincrease.”怎樣significant呀,大哥改為:Thefiguresshowanincreaseof19%.
8.立場觀點(diǎn)一致.少用被動語.例如:PartialdatashouldbesubmittedbyApril.改為:YoushouldsubmitpartialdatabyApril.就很好了.
C.格調(diào)
1.式樣和句子長度不要太單調(diào).千篇一律的subject-verb-object會悶死人的.有時(shí)短句跟著長句可以化解一下.
2.弱軟的詞(e.g.was,were,is,are...)可以加強(qiáng)一點(diǎn).例如:Pruntonproductsarehighlyeffectivein...改為:Pruntonproductsexcelin...就有力很多了.
3.親切,口語化是比較受歡迎!用賓詞和主動的詞,讓人家受落.
例如:
1.Thisinformationwillbesincerelyappreciated.”
2.Wesincerelyappreciateyourinformation.明顯地,我們會喜歡第2句.
