1.Indended Style 縮行式

2.Block Style 齊頭式/平頭式

3.Modified Block Style 改良的齊頭式/平頭式

4.emi-block Style with Indended Paragraphs 混合式 Section Three Dissimilarities in Letter Writing 第3節 英美書信的不同寫法

1.英式的書信格式是縮行式或混合式,而美式則是絕對平頭式或改良平頭。

2.稱呼用法,英式一般用Dear Sirs,后用逗號。美式則用Gentlemen:后用冒號。

3.結尾語的用法,英式和美式的習慣各不相同,在美式中Sincerely yours,只限用于商業書信。英式則不然,商業書信或親友間來往書信中都可用。

4.日期寫法也不相同,英式是按日—月—年的順序。美式則按月—日—年的順序。

5.信封寫法的不同點：收信人的姓名、地址,英式多用縮行式,美式則用平頭式。另外,發信人的姓名、地址,英式寫在左下角,美式寫在左上角。航空信的空郵字樣“AIRMAIL”“VIA AIR MAIL,”“BY AIR MAIL,”英式寫在信封的左上角,美式則寫在貼郵票的下方。

? Supplements 常見問題1-1 打日期要注意下列各點: 1.年份應完全寫出,不能用(00)來代表(2000)。

2.月份要寫英文名稱,不能用數字來代替。如(3／9／99)等不能在正式函件中使用。

3.月份名稱可用縮寫,如Aug.代替August;Oct.代替October;但May,June,July本身很短,不 再減縮了。

4.日期有時用1,2,3,4,5,?,11,12,?,21,22,23,24,?,31等,有時用3rd,4th,5th,?,11th,12th,?,21st,22nd,23rd,24th?,31st.日期最好用基數字,不用序數字。

注意:月份和日期之間不要用標點點開,年份之前,必須用逗號點開。日期可用1,2,3,4,或 用1st,2nd,3rd,4th.但各國各地習慣不同,不可一概而論。

常見問題1-2 說明:在公司名稱的前面加c/o(care of),意思是由其轉交,說明本信是一封私人信要由 本人拆封,總收發不要拆。有時候外國商人來我國訪問未到達以前,無一定信址,信件常由邀 請公司轉交,千萬不要誤拆,以免誤會。

常見問題1-3 如果函件要抄送其他有關單位,同時使對方也知道已抄送其他單位可在信件最后的左下角注明“CC to xxx”或“CC xxx”。CC是carbon copy二字的縮寫。

常見問題1-4

1st,2nd 縮行式(Indented Style)： 封內地址和其需要分行的地方的后一行,都比前一行縮進二格或三格;信的正文,每一段的開始一行都縮進若干格(一般與稱呼末一字母取齊)。

平頭式(Block Style)：凡是用打字機打上去的每一行字,包括(完全或絕對平頭式)日 期、封內地址、事由和結尾禮詞,都是從左邊的空白邊緣打起。

改良平頭式(Modified Block Style)：這種格式,除日期,結尾禮詞和簽名部分外,其他部分每行開頭都與左邊空白邊緣看齊。

混合式(Semi-block Style with Indented Paragraphs)：封內地址及其他需要分行的部分,采用平頭式,而第一段開始行采用縮行式。兩種格式的混合采用所以稱之為混合式。

? Outline: 5 Sample Letters 5封樣信Sole Agency Agreement 1 Sole Distributorship Agreement Supplyment補充：Some Useful Sentences on Agency 代理的常用例句

? Main Points: 常見詞匯 11-1 agent 1)n.代理人

We owe your name to ABC Company, through whom we have learned that you are seeking an agent here.承ABC公司告知你公司名稱，通過他們我們獲悉你們正在此地物色一家代理。

If you would appoint us as your agent, we could give you a reasonable guarantee to sell US$ 100 000 a month, because yours is a line we can handle well.假如你們委任我們為你方代理，我們保證每月銷售十萬美元，因為你方所經營的商品是我們最善于經營的。

The exporter may employ an agent living in the buyer’s country to push the sales of his products.進口商可以雇傭居住在買方國家的一位代理人，以推銷其產品。

2)agency n.代理

從本義講，agent 是a person authorized expressly or impliedly to transact business for another, called the Principal，即：明示或默認受權為委托方進行業務的人；agency是business, place of business of an agent，即：代理人的業務，代理人辦理業務的地點，也就是：代理業務，代理處。

agency agreement 代理協議

agency commission 代理傭金

sole agency(or: exclusive agency)獨家代理

例句：

The company has agencies in all parts of Africa.該公司在非洲各地均有代理。

Your application for sole agency for a period of one year is now under our careful consideration.我們正在仔細考慮你們擔任我們獨家代理為期一年的申請。

The volume of business done does not warrant entrusting you with exclusive agency at present.已達成的營業額還不足以使我們目前委托你方為獨家代理。

常見句式 11-2 Should you not be able to accept it, perhaps you could recommend some other reliable and well-established firms whom you might approach.前幾章中已見過此類句式。在此介紹一下非真實條件從句。非真實條件從句，顧名思義，是用來描述說話人想象的、非真實的情景的，這些情景通常是不可能發生的，與客觀實際相反的，或發生可能性極小，只表示說話者的一種主觀愿望、假想和建議等等。非真實條件從句表示對現在、過去、將來的事實進行虛擬時，主句和if從句中的謂語動詞形式如下：

表示虛擬的時間 if從句謂語形式 主句謂語形式

現在： did or were would(should, might, could)+ do 過去： had done or had would(should, might, could)+ have done(been)將來： were to(should)would(should, might, could)+ do 即虛擬語氣的三種基本形式：

(1)與現在事實相反：

If I had enough money, I would run a company of my own.如果我有錢，我要開一間自己的公司。

(2)與過去事實相反：

She would have come if she hadn’t been so busy.要不是忙，她就來了。

(3)與將來事實相反：

If I should win the lottery, I would buy a car.如果我能贏抽彩，我將買一輛車。

掌握上述虛擬語氣的三種基本形態、分別牢記在不同的時間(現在、過去、將來)情況下的非真實條件虛擬句中if從句和主句謂語動詞的對應形式是非常重要的。我們不妨歸納上述例子來看，非真實條件虛擬句的謂語時態比真實條件句的時態向“過去”方向推進了一層。

對現在虛擬 if+過去時，I would(should, might, could)do?

對過去虛擬 if+過去完成時，I would(should, might, could)have done?

對將來虛擬 if+should/were to do, I would(should, might, could)do?

常見詞匯 11-3 postpone v.延緩

辨析：defer, postpone, intermit, suspend與stay 這組詞均含有造成行動、活動或進程的推遲之意。

defer(1)指推遲到較晚的時間，一般強調有意的推遲。(2)指在完成，獲得或實現某事過程中，由于出現超出控制能力之外的情況而推遲。

postpone 表示有意拖延，一般指拖延到某一確切時間。

intermit 指暫時中止，通常作為調節的措施。尤其暗示間歇之后再開始的含義。

suspend 通常因為上下文中明確表達或未明確表達的原因(如個人愿望或法律約束)而暫時停止或使暫時不起作用。

stay 表示正在進行著的事情因中間受到阻礙，可能使其完全停止，但更經常指間歇、擱置或放慢速度。

例句：

I shall defer replying till I hear from him.我將等接到他的信息后再行答復。

Ship’s departure for 18 hours was deferred by the captain because of tornado.由于颶風，船長已推遲了十八個小時啟航。

In our opinion, we had better postpone the decision until a more appropriate time.在我們看來，最好等到一個較適當的時候再做決定。

We have to postpone offering for a few days.我們不得不推遲幾天報盤。

to intermit one’s efforts 暫停努力

Shall I suspend final decision until I have further evidence? 在我未得到進一步的證據之前是否暫不做出最后結論? The court has decided to stay the proceeding.法庭已決定暫緩進行這個訴訟程序

常見詞匯 11-4 indemnify 辨析compensate, indemnify與reimburse compensate(1)有時不指按法律規定償付債款，也不指無償服務，而強調付錢回報，這里錢被看做是所付出的服務、風險或花費時間的等值物。(2)用于上述意義時，該詞不意味著對他人負有義務或進行付錢，而常指進行平衡，如以好抵壞，以得補失這種平衡。

indemnify(1)指一種允諾或實際的對損失(如火災造成)或傷害(如事故)、損害(如戰爭或災害造成)所做出的賠償。(2)其詞義有時接近于compensate,多指抵消。

reimburse 指付還自己為贏利而花的錢或付還別人(如代理人或律師)為自己做事而花的錢。

例句：

You have to compensate us for the short shipment of 600 kilos.你方須為短裝600公斤給予賠償。

In order to compensate your purchases, we are allowed by our government to buy your handicrafts as much as 40% of the total value of your purchases.為了補償你方購貨，我國政府允許我公司購買高達你方購貨總值百分之四十的手工藝品。

Our users insist that you have to compensate for the inferior quality.我方用戶堅持認為，你方須為質次給予賠償。

He promised to indemnify me for my losses.他答應賠償我的損失。

We will indemnify you for any expenses you may incur on our behalf.我方會補償你方為我方所花的一切費用。

The applicant for the credit shall be bound by and liable to indemnify the banks against all obligations and responsibilities imposed by foreign laws and usages.凡由外國法律和習慣加于銀行的一切義務和責任，應由開證申請人承擔，他并應對銀行負補償之責。

常見詞匯 12-3

“度”的常見英譯法

在科技語言中，“度”字是一個使用率很高的表示各種計量單位的字。按中文的習慣，“度”既可以表示電表、水表或溫度計上的刻度，又能表示眼鏡片深淺的屈光度或地理位置的經緯度，等等。然而，在英語里卻找不出一個適用于各種場合下的通用字。翻譯時，必須視不同的意境使用不同的英語對應字。如:(1)譯為 degree degree是普通用字，作“度”字的對應字使用時，多指溫度以及幾何學中弧和角的計算單位等。

The first well had a deviation of 1.7 degrees from the vertical.第一口井的斜度是1.7度。

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees centigrade.水的沸點是攝氏100度。

A right angle is an angle of 90 degrees.直角是角度為90度的角。

(2)譯為 temperature 或 reading temperature和reading 是兩個在表意上截然不同的字，盡管都與“溫度”有關。前者指的是氣溫的總稱，而后者指的是溫度的具體計量單位(unit of measurement for temperature)。當中文中的“度”字指的是某天的氣溫時，便與temperature形成特定條件下的對應關系，reading多指儀器上的量度。

What’s the temperature today? 今天氣溫多少度? Is there any difference between the day and the night readings? 白天的度數和夜間的度數有什么差別嗎?(3)譯為 strength strength作“度”字的對應字使用時，多指眼鏡片的深淺程度或酒、茶、咖啡、顏色等的濃度。

What’s the strength of the lenses of your glasses? 您的眼鏡多少度? The foreign guests are interested in the strength of the black tea.外國客人們對這種紅茶的濃度感興趣。

(4)譯為 parallel parallel的原義是(緯線)，因而只能與表明地理方位緯度的“度”字形成對應詞。

Beijing is close to the fortieth parallel of north latitude.北京靠近北緯40度。

This city is ten miles above the 38th parallel of the north.這座城市位于北緯38度線以北十英里。

(5)譯為per cent 或 point 當“度”字在具體中文句中表示的是含某物質的百分比時，常譯為per cent(或percent)。point表示的“度”，常指體溫的度數。

This spirit contains 55 per cent alcohol.這種酒55度。

His temperature has gone up 3 points.他的體溫升高了三度。

外貿函電 課程設計報告08110811 葉允嘉 0811081140

外貿函電課程設計報告

一、課程設計目的通過外貿函電實踐性的模擬練習，加深對外貿函電理論的理解和運用。了解并熟悉外貿進出口的關鍵步驟，如建立業務關系、詢盤、報盤、還盤、成交、裝運等的模擬，以在今后的實際應用中熟練使用函電的寫作技巧和繕制合同、信用證、匯票、裝箱單、提單等單據。

二、課程設計內容

1.課程設計的總體方案布置：根據背景資料擬寫建交信并進行進出口報價核算。

2.根據客戶發來的傳真及商品資料發盤并進行綜合報價還價核算。

3.擬寫還盤函，根據背景資料和往來函電實例繕制銷售確認書。

4.根據合同審核信用證并寫一份改證函了解裝船通知。

5.根據信用證及所提供的資料編制匯票、發票、裝箱單、重量尺碼單位作為銀行議付單據的一部分。

三、課程設計要求

1.掌握建立交易信函的操作技能。

2.掌握出口價格核算的要點。

3.掌握出口還價核算的要點。

4.掌握繕制合同的要點。

5.掌握信用證要點，掌握繕制改證函的要點。

6.掌握單據的填制。

四、課程設計中遇到的難題以及解決辦法

課程設計中最大的難點莫過于進出口合同的訂立和填寫各種單據。

平時有擬寫中文合同的經驗，一般都是要根據一些模板在根據實際情況改動條款。而一份合同的關鍵在于措辭的嚴謹與高明。在擬寫英語進出口合同時，一開始有一種無從下手的感覺，但是參考指導書后面章節合同寫法，經過前后比對，終于完成了合同的編寫。

各種單據上的表述和信用證上的表述有差異，這是使填寫各種單據成為難點的主要原因，另外信用證各種信息分散較廣，也給單據填寫增加了難度。不過，將發票填完時，后面的幾封單據就變得容易了很多。不過有些信息，還是很難在信用證里找出。各種單據填寫時，有很多時候要用到大寫，我就差點把日期寫成一般的寫法，后來還是發現問題，改正了出來。

五、體會

在寫外貿函電的時候就需要額外的注意很多細節，概括起來，遵循5個C原則。

Completeness——一封商業信函應概況了各項必需的事項，如邀請信應說明時間、地點等，確忌寄出含糊不清的信件。

Consideration——寫信時要處處從對方的角度去考慮有什么需求，而不是從自身出發，語氣上更尊重對方。

Courtesy——語言要有禮且謙虛，及時地回信也是禮貌的表現。Conciseness——避免廢話連篇、避免不必要的重復、多進行短句、單詞的運用。

Clarity——意思表達明確，要注意：避免用詞錯誤、注意詞語所放的位置、注意句子的結構。

《外貿函電》是一門模仿性、實踐性、操作性都很強的課程，不通過練習實踐，很難加深認識，鞏固所學知識。只有進行大量的有針對性的反復操練，尤其是外貿業務各個環節設計特定情景進行反復操作，進行各種類型的練習，我們才能熟練掌握運用外貿業務這些常用的句型、詞匯和短語以達到能夠正確翻譯并能擬寫同類信函的目的。通過這次學習，我對外貿函電的各種相關信函和單據有了一個更加深入的了解，也對其熟練度大有提升，經過這次實訓，使我們專業技能得到一個很好強化的訓練機會，使我們在今后的實踐中更加得心應手。
