商務(wù)英語口語:關(guān)于回復(fù)e-mail的問答
c:amy,我找了你一整天。
a:what is it?
c:我有個關(guān)于電子郵件的問題。每次我回信,都是點(diǎn)擊reply,保留原來的內(nèi)容,然后把我的答復(fù)加上去。
a:that‘s not unusual.
c:今天有個同事告訴我,說我不應(yīng)該保留電子郵件里原來的內(nèi)容?晌也幻靼祝绻麆h掉原來的內(nèi)容,她怎么能知道我在說些什么呢?
a:she no doubt would have preferred that you take the time to paraphrase her message in the body of your reply.
c:什么叫paraphrase?
a:to paraphrase means to rephrase or restate what someone else has said or written.
c:你能舉個例子嗎?比如說,她發(fā)電子郵件給我,問我星期三上午11點(diǎn)有沒有時間開會討論新產(chǎn)品。
a:in that case, instead of hitting “reply” and responding, “yes, i am available;”
you should write, “yes, i am available to meet on wednesday at 11 am to discuss the new product.”
c:就是把話說完整。
a:yes. by restating her message, you have confirmed that you will be at the meeting on the right day at the right time.
c:出于禮貌,我在回復(fù)電子郵件的時候,都應(yīng)該把原信的核心內(nèi)容重復(fù)一遍了?
a:yes, in that case you can delete the original at the bottom of your response.
c:如果電子郵件的`內(nèi)容變了,用回復(fù)的功能,就不能保留原來的題目。是這樣嗎?
a:she is definitely right. it is very confusing to receive a message from someone who changed the subject in the e-mail and not in the subject line.
c:你能不能解釋一下。
a:if i send you a message about a project we are working on and i use “project a summary” as the subject line, you have a clear expectation about what information is contained in the e-mail.
c:我用回復(fù)的功能,告訴你我收到了報告。
a:right. now let’s say that i need to send you a message about our next team meeting. if i use your reply to me - which you recall has the subject line, “project summary”; you expect to read more about the project.
c:對啊,我會以為里面是關(guān)于這個項(xiàng)目更詳細(xì)的內(nèi)容,但打開卻發(fā)現(xiàn)是截然不同的內(nèi)容。好,我以后一定記住改掉電子郵件的題目。
a:better yet, if you are sending e-mail on a new topic, start a new message with a new subject header.
