信件英語寫作技巧

 (一)英文書信的組成

英文書信通常有包括以下幾部分:

1. 信頭(Heading): 指寫信人的地址和寫信日期

信頭的目的是使收信人知道書信來自何處,何時發出。信頭一般位於信函的.右上角,包括髮信人的地址和寫信日期。

信頭的地址的寫法要注意英文和中文的不同,英文應遵循“先小後大”的原則,第一行寫門牌號和街道的名稱,第二行寫區、市名、省名、國家名。國家名之前加上郵政編碼。門牌名與街道名之間不用逗號隔開。最後一行寫上發信日期。日期一般有以下幾種寫法:

12th Sept, 2006 12 Sept, 2006 Sept. 12th, 2006

如,

Mr. Zhang Peng

Department of Foreign Language

Jiangxi Teachers’ College

Nanchang, Jiangxi Prov., 330241

P.R.C.

Sept. 12, 2006

2.信內地址(Inside Name & Address): 指收信人的姓名和地址

信內地址一般位於信函的左上角,位於信紙的左邊頂格,低於信頭一兩行寫起。

3.稱呼 (Salutation): 對收信人的稱呼用語

稱呼是寫信人對收信人表示尊敬的敬稱。稱呼從信紙的左端頂格寫起,比信內姓名和地址低一行,。稱呼有多種,視寫信人和收信人的關係而定。每個開頭字母用大寫,結尾用逗號不用冒號。

對男士的稱呼,多用Mr., 對女士的稱呼,多用Mrs., Madam, Miss或Ms.,但是需要注意的是,這些稱呼用在姓氏前或姓氏和名字前,但是不能使用在名字的前面。

4.正文(Body):

5. 結束語(Complementary Close): 寫信人對收信人的謙稱

結束語從信紙的中間或稍右的地方寫起,位於正文下面空兩三行處。不同關係使用不同的結束語。

對於不熟悉的人或團體:Yours truly, Truly yours, Yours faithfully, Faithfully yours

對於上級和長者:Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours gratefully, Gratefully yours

對於朋友和親屬:Yours, Your loving daughter, Your devoted friend
