13、 Letters,Writing Approaches for Business English Letters,直接式结构用于传递令人满意或中性信息的信函,间接式结构传递令人失望的消息的商务信函尽量减少读者的不悦,2.Writing Principles for Business English Letters,To make your writing effective,you may follow some generally accepted principles.Since all these principles are begun with the letter“C”,they

14、can be summed up as 7Cs,i.e.Clarity,Consideration,Courtesy,Completeness,Conciseness,Concreteness and Correctness.,1）清晰(clarity)清楚是英语应用文最重要的语言特点。商务文书应主题突出，层次分明，可读性强。其内容应明白易懂，无模棱两可、含糊不清、陈词滥调等现象。为了表达的清晰性，有时需要附上范例、说明、图示等。例如：“bimonthly”一词具有两种含义，一种是“一月两次”，另一种是“每两月一次”，因此应避免使用这类具有双重意义的词。2）体谅(consideration)体

15、谅，即多从对方角度出发(you-attitude)，理解并体谅对方的需求、愿望、感情，着重正面、肯定地谈问题，尽量避免从否定角度谈。3）礼貌(courtesy)写商务文书应本着真诚体贴、有礼有节、不卑不亢的态度。表达方式应委婉、积极，措词得当。将命令式改为请求式或使用虚拟语气表示请求等多种方式以表达礼貌。尽速答复对方也是礼貌的表现，体现了对客户的尊重。,4）完整(completeness)在商务英语使用过程中，我们应力求内容完整。商务英语篇章的完整性特点要求商务英语文书涵盖写信人希望收信人做出积极反应的一切情况及问题，或者回答对方来信提出的全部问题或要求。如在报盘时，需要写清商品、价格、交货时

16、间及付款方式等。5）简洁(conciseness)简明指的是尽可能地用精辟的文字清楚地表达你需要表达的内容，而又毫不损坏完整、具体和礼貌。各种商务信函应当在涵盖各种必须陈述的信息的基础上做到言简意赅、文字简洁，其语言形式要简单、直接、明了，避免使用笼统的陈旧的商业术语、怪词、难词和长句，尽量多地使用熟悉的短词和口语体词。完整性和简洁性两个特点相互制约，相辅相成。6）具体(concreteness)商务文书应力求具体、明确、形象，力避含糊，空泛、抽象。在给对方做出明确反应的信或答复对方的要求或问题的信中，尤其需要做到表述具体化。特别是合同、协议、通知、广告和需要做出具体答复像报盘、询问交易条款等

17、的信函时，需要使用具体的事实和数据。在名词和动词的使用上，多使用意义明确的词。7）正确(correctness)所谓正确，并非仅指语法、标点和词的拼写这些基本要素。商务文书内容(如事实、数据等)必须以准确的语言和商务套语加以表达，不得出半分差错，否则会给自己公司带来重大经济损失。,III.Layout of Business Letters&E-mails,1.Layout of Business Letter,A formal business letter consists of fourteen parts in which nine parts are essential and fi
