第一篇:英語(yǔ)四級(jí)英文書(shū)信寫(xiě)作要領(lǐng)及參考
一、英文書(shū)信的結(jié)構(gòu)
二、書(shū)信作文的出題形式和寫(xiě)作要領(lǐng)
三、書(shū)信作文練習(xí)及其參考范文
書(shū)信是重要的交際工具。英文書(shū)信分為兩大類(lèi):公務(wù)信件和私人信件。公務(wù)信件是單位與單位或單位與個(gè)人之間來(lái)往的書(shū)信,可能是推薦信、求職信、入學(xué)申請(qǐng)書(shū)、邀請(qǐng)信,或詢問(wèn)、答復(fù)、反映意見(jiàn)(如投訴信)等的信件。私人信件是指親戚朋友之間的通信。這兩類(lèi)書(shū)信各有自己的格式。一般說(shuō)來(lái),私人信件不拘形式,信文多用手寫(xiě),也可打印;公務(wù)信件要求比較嚴(yán)格,必須遵循一定的格式,信文一定要打印。
第一節(jié) 英文書(shū)信的結(jié)構(gòu)
英文書(shū)信一般由以下六部分組成:信頭、信內(nèi)地址、稱(chēng)呼、正文、結(jié)尾、簽名。
5.1.1 信頭(Heading)
信頭是指發(fā)信人的地址和日期,通常寫(xiě)在第一頁(yè)的右上角。行首可以齊頭寫(xiě),也可以逐行縮進(jìn)寫(xiě)。地址的書(shū)寫(xiě)順序由小到大:門(mén)牌號(hào)、街道、城市、省(州)、郵編、國(guó)名,最后寫(xiě)發(fā)信日期。私人信件一般只寫(xiě)寄信日期即可。例如:
Tianhe Road
Tianhe District
Guangzhou 510620
Guangdong Province
P.R.C.March 15, 2002
5.1.2 信內(nèi)地址(Inside Address)
信內(nèi)地址要寫(xiě)收信人的姓名和地址。在公務(wù)信件中要寫(xiě)明這一項(xiàng),在私人信件中,這一項(xiàng)常常省略。該項(xiàng)寫(xiě)在寫(xiě)信日期下一行的左上角,格式與寄信人地址一樣。
5.1.3 稱(chēng)呼(Salutation)
稱(chēng)呼是對(duì)收信人的稱(chēng)謂,應(yīng)與左邊線對(duì)齊,寫(xiě)在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行處。在稱(chēng)呼后,英國(guó)人常用逗號(hào),美國(guó)人則常用冒號(hào)。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字,但公務(wù)信件中一定要寫(xiě)收信人的姓。大部分信件在稱(chēng)呼前加“Dear”。如:
Dear Professor/Prof.Bergen:
Dear Dr.Johnson,對(duì)不相識(shí)的人可按性別稱(chēng)呼:
Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: Dear Ladies。
如果不知收信人的性別則可用Dear Sir or Madam:
5.1.4 正文(Body of Letter)
正文是書(shū)信的主體。與中文信件不同的是,英文書(shū)信的正文的開(kāi)頭不是先寫(xiě)一些問(wèn)候語(yǔ),再闡明寫(xiě)信的目的,而是直接說(shuō)明寫(xiě)信人的身份及寫(xiě)信的目的,然后提出寫(xiě)信人的情況、想法或要求,并加以必要的解釋或說(shuō)明。英文書(shū)信陳述目的時(shí),應(yīng)該直截了當(dāng),意思明確,層次清楚,言簡(jiǎn)意賅。
書(shū)信正文的第一句話或第一段,通常被稱(chēng)為起首語(yǔ)。一般說(shuō)來(lái),人們習(xí)慣用一些客套的寫(xiě)法作為書(shū)信正文的起始,即先將對(duì)方來(lái)信的日期、主題加以簡(jiǎn)單描述,以便使對(duì)方一看便知該信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次給別人寫(xiě)信,也可用開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)作必要的自我介紹,并表明自己寫(xiě)信的主要目的。
5.1.5 結(jié)尾禮詞(Complimentary Close)
公務(wù)信件的結(jié)尾禮詞包含兩部分:發(fā)信人的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)與署名。結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)寫(xiě)在簽名上面一行,第一個(gè)字母要大寫(xiě),套語(yǔ)結(jié)尾后面要加逗號(hào)。在公務(wù)信件中,發(fā)信人常用的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)有:
Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Cordially yours, Yours cordially等。
私人信件中,發(fā)信人常用的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)有: Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。5.1.6 簽名(Signature)寫(xiě)信人的簽名常位于結(jié)尾禮詞正下方一二行。除非是給很熟悉的人寫(xiě)信,簽名一般須寫(xiě)出全名。簽名常常較潦草,不易辨認(rèn),因此在簽名的正下方須打印出全名。
第二節(jié) 書(shū)信作文的出題形式和寫(xiě)作要領(lǐng)
1990年到2002年1月之間的四級(jí)考試作文題中,書(shū)信作文共出現(xiàn)兩次(2001年6月和2002年1月)。下面,我們先來(lái)看看2001年6月四級(jí)考試的作文題:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter.Suppose you are Zhang Ying.Write a letter to Xiao Wang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the week-long holiday.You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:
1.表示歡迎
2.提出對(duì)度假安排的建議
3.提醒應(yīng)注意的事項(xiàng)
A Letter to a Schoolmate
June 23, 2001
Dear Xiao Wang,__________________________________
__________________________________
__________________________________.Yours,Zhang Ying 從上面的例子可見(jiàn),書(shū)信作文不僅給出正文部分的內(nèi)容的提綱,而且還給出書(shū)信各部分的結(jié)構(gòu)的框架。也就是說(shuō),我們只要考慮如何表達(dá)提綱部分的內(nèi)容,而不用考慮書(shū)信的結(jié)構(gòu)。在寫(xiě)書(shū)信作文時(shí),首先要把書(shū)信正文的提綱內(nèi)容細(xì)化,擴(kuò)展成更細(xì)的英文提綱,然后用簡(jiǎn)潔、明了、禮貌、正確和得體的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)出細(xì)化了的提綱內(nèi)容。例如前面的那封信就可以列出下面的提綱:

上面舉的是私人信件的例子,下面我們?cè)賮?lái)看一封投訴信(Letter of Complaint)。投訴信的目的是為了讓收信人讀信后同情你的遭遇,解決你所遇到的問(wèn)題。所以寫(xiě)投訴信時(shí)應(yīng)該實(shí)事求是地反映情況,注意措辭,不使用過(guò)多的諷刺或責(zé)備的語(yǔ)言,也不要因?yàn)榘l(fā)泄怒氣而離題,以避免引起收信人的不信任或反感。
一般而言,投訴信包括以下內(nèi)容:提出要求和理由;解釋詳細(xì)的情況;把請(qǐng)求具體化以及希望收信人采取行動(dòng)的日期等。例如:
September 1, 2001
Dear Sir or Madam:
I’m writing to complain about a typewriter I bought seven months ago.In February of 2001 I bought a Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model, at ABC Store, I had used it only a few days when the space bar broke.I took it to a local shop, they told me it was factory defect and suggest I take it back to ABC.ABC accepted the machine and sent the part in.I waited three months, and since your company did not send a replacement, they let me have the space bar from another typewriter.Now, six months later, it has broken again.I took it back to ABC.They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured me that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take.I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter.Respectfully,(Signature)

這是一封態(tài)度冷靜、措辭有理、有節(jié)的投訴售后服務(wù)不周的信。由于這類(lèi)信涉及經(jīng)銷(xiāo)商(廠家)和賣(mài)方,因此,投訴信中寫(xiě)明了以下詳細(xì)的情況:
1)購(gòu)物的時(shí)間:In February of 2001
2)購(gòu)物地點(diǎn): at ABC Store

此外,寫(xiě)信人還用了禮貌的結(jié)束語(yǔ):
I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter.(貴公司在這件事上給我的任何幫助都將令我不勝感激)
小結(jié):1)英文書(shū)信的結(jié)構(gòu);2)書(shū)信作文的出題形式;3)書(shū)信作文的寫(xiě)作要領(lǐng)。下面我們進(jìn)行寫(xiě)作練習(xí)。我將給大家一個(gè)作文題,請(qǐng)大家根據(jù)這一講的內(nèi)容,在30分鐘內(nèi)完成。大家在寫(xiě)作的過(guò)程中要注意審題,考慮文章的結(jié)構(gòu)、采用的起首語(yǔ)和結(jié)束語(yǔ)等。練習(xí)五:

A Letter to a Roommate
March 16, 2002
Dear Xiao Zhang,March 16, 2002Dear Xiao Zhang, Recently I have noticed that you have been smoking heavily, which is becoming a serious problem.As long as you are in, our bedroom is filled with that terrible smell.The ashtray always overflows with cigarette butts.Your are ruining your health, destroying brain cells which can never be replaced, not to mention the damage to your lungs and windpipes.Smoking, especially heavy smoking, correlates highly with lung cancer.It is possible that you“l(fā)l be caught up with it.I”m not scaring you.Besides, smoking is also harmful to the health of our roommates and the friendship among us.The roommates avoid being in the bedroom for fear of being polluted.As a result, the brotherhood among roommates is gradually fading.If I were you, I would try to get rid of the bad habit.It is not difficult to break away from it if you are really determined to quit.Remember “Where there is a will, there is a way”.I will always be there to help, if you need.Yours sincerely,Xiao Li

第五篇:英文書(shū)信寫(xiě)作格式
1、英文書(shū)信寫(xiě)作的五項(xiàng)基本原則
這五項(xiàng)基本原則是:consideration, conciseness, clarity, courtesy, correctness。即:體貼、簡(jiǎn)明、清晰、禮貌、正確。
2、英文書(shū)信的結(jié)構(gòu)
信頭(heading):包括寫(xiě)信人地址和寫(xiě)信日期。位置在信箋的右上角。地址從小到大,按單位換行,比如第一行寫(xiě)門(mén)牌號(hào)和街道,第二行寫(xiě)城市和省(州),第三行寫(xiě)國(guó)家和郵政編碼。日期按照下列格式:june 1,XX(美國(guó)),1 june,XX(英國(guó))。
封內(nèi)地址(inside address):如果是比較正式的信函,信箋上還要寫(xiě)上對(duì)收信人的稱(chēng)呼和他的地址。它一般位于信頭的下方,信箋的左邊頂格的位置。
稱(chēng)呼(salutation):封內(nèi)地址低兩行,靠左邊頂格自成一行。如果是公函,則稱(chēng)呼對(duì)方的職位,如果是一般朋友則可稱(chēng)呼為my dear xx,如果是比較熟悉的朋友則可以用dear xx。
正文(the body):有什么寫(xiě)什么即可。但注意五項(xiàng)基本原則。
結(jié)尾詞和簽名(complmentary close and signature):一般信函的結(jié)尾詞用yours sincerely/truely/faithfully)。如果是公函則以yours respectfully結(jié)尾為多。親密一些的私人信件則可以根據(jù)情況以yours ever/ affectionaely,love,等結(jié)尾。結(jié)尾詞下方要求手寫(xiě)簽名,手寫(xiě)簽名下方打印簽名。
附件和再啟(enclosure and postscript):如果有附件,則可以按照這樣的格式寫(xiě):enclosure: xxx。如果有另外的事情需要補(bǔ)充,則可以用p.s.開(kāi)頭,表示“又啟,又及”的意思。
信封的格式(superscription):寫(xiě)信人的姓名地址位于信封左上角(或信封背面中上方)。收信人的姓名地址位于信封中央或偏右。
收轉(zhuǎn):在收信人姓名下方寫(xiě)上收轉(zhuǎn)人的姓名,并在前面寫(xiě)上c/o字樣。
