第一篇:英語信件格式
商務英語書信(Business or Commercial English Correspondence)是指交易時所使用的通信。在美國,常用Business writing,它包括書信、電報、電話、電傳、報告書、明信片等。英語和美語在書信體例方面存在著一定的差異,比如信頭和稱呼、書信格式、遣詞、結尾客套語等均有所不同。
英國書信保守,美國書信有活力。
英國書信較為保守,許多英國人喜歡用老式書信體,用詞較為正式刻板,而美國書信語言非常生氣、有活力,格式也較為簡便。因此當我們寫信的對象是英國或其舊殖民地國家時,要使用標準式英語Queen's English;如果寫信的對象是美國或美國勢力范圍的地區時,就要用美國英語。當然,英國式的語言文化近年來也有變化,但總體來說,兩者間的差異是很明顯的。
英文書信的垂直式和齊頭式。
商業英文書信,一般都要求用打字機或電腦整齊地打印,左邊各行開頭垂直的,稱為垂直式或齊頭式(Block style),美國常用這種格式;每段的第一個詞縮進去,稱為縮進式或鋸齒式(indented style),英國常用此格式。垂直式的職務及簽名都在左邊的邊欄界線,這種格式,在極度尊重工作效率的美國公司,已普遍采用。正式的商業英語書信要在稱呼的上方寫上收信公司名稱和地址或收信人的名字全稱、職務及地址,稱為信內地址(Inside address)。信內地址的寫法也有垂直式和縮進式之分,垂直式和稱美國式將各行并列,縮進式或稱英國式將各行依次退縮。
普通書信的寫法。
近來英國商業書信信內地址并未依次縮進,似乎與美國式相同。此外,在美國還流行一種普通收信人地址的寫法,就是在書信的Inside Address中,把門牌號和街名都省略掉。在英文書信中要使用敬語,最普遍的敬語是Mr, Mrs和Miss(用于未婚女性)。英國人常在男性的姓名之后用Esq.(Esquire的縮寫),不過在商業上也在慢慢地改用Mr.Mmes.(Madam的復數形式),用于二個女士以上。Messrs(Mr的復數形式)用于二個以上的男人,或用于二個以上的男人組成的公司或團體。在英國式英文信里,Mr, Mrs, Messrs,均不加縮寫句點,相反地趨向于進步自由的美語反而加縮寫句點如Mr., Mrs., Messrs.。在稱呼方面,商業上最普遍的有Gentlemen(美國式)與Dear Sirs(英國式)二種,相當于我國的“敬啟者”或“謹啟者”。
典型的美國式書寫法。
給公司單位寫信時美語用Gentlemen(復數形式),英語用Dear Sirs。如果對方公司只一人時,必須使用Sir/Dear Sir。稱呼后一般要使用標點符號,英國式采用逗號(comma),美國式用分號(colon)。書信結尾客套語(complimentary close)有多種,相當于我國書信在結尾時使用的“敬禮”、“致敬”、“順安”等句。最為典型的美國式寫法是Sincerely和Best regards,典型的英國式表達有Yours sincerely(熟人或知道對方姓名),Best wishes, kind regards 和yours faithfully(不知姓名)。此外,英國式的客套語還有特別禮貌的格式,但除了特殊情況外,現在不再使用。
...................文書信通常由下列五個部分組成:
A 信頭(Heading)
信頭包括寫信人地址和寫信日期,通常寫在信箋的右上角。在比較熟識的朋友之間的通信,寫信人的地址常可略去。本課的信頭就只寫了寫信日期,而沒有寫信人的地址。日期通常有下列兩種定法:
(a)月、日、年:如August 15, 200__
(b)日、月、年:如15th august, 200__
地址的寫法通常是由小到大,如:門牌號、街道名、市(縣)名、省名、國名(郵政編碼通常寫在城市名之后)。這同中文書信的地址寫法完全相反。地址可以寫1~3行,日期寫在地址的下方(見信箋格式)。
B 稱呼(Salutation)
稱呼指寫信人對收信人的稱呼,如Dear Xiaojun,寫在信頭的下方和信箋的左邊。稱呼一般用Dear?或My dear?開頭,稱呼后一般用逗號。
C 正文(Body)
這是書信的主體部分,即寫信人要表達的內容。正文要求文字通順,層次分明,表意清楚。可以手書,也可以打寫。
D 結束語(Complimentary Close)
它是書信結尾的恭維話,相當于文中書信最后的“祝好”、“致禮”之類的話語。本課書信中的“Best wishes”(致以最好的祝愿)就是結束語。
E 簽名(Signature)
簽名通常簽在結束語下方的中間偏右的位置,如本課信中的Charlie。簽名應是親筆書寫,即使是打寫機打出的信件,最后仍需親筆簽名。在簽名的上方可根據寫信人和收信人的關系寫上Sincerely yours/Yours sincerely(用于長輩或朋友之間),或Respectfully yours/Yours respectfully(用于對長輩或上級)。
第二篇:英語信件格式
英語信件格式
英語信件的種類比較多,有一般信件,邀請信,推薦信等。但幾乎所有信件的格式都大同小異。接下來,就有海銳教育集團的許老師來給大家講解一下英語信件的格式吧。
英語書信結構、書寫款式及要求:
書信結構
英語書信結構一般有以下幾個部分組成:
1)信封(envelope)。英語的信封和中文的一樣,有三部分組成,即發信人地址、收信人地址和郵票。只不過英語信封的格式除了郵票所貼的位置(信封的右上角)和中文的一樣外,英語信封上要寫的發信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一樣。發信人的地址應寫在信封的左上角,收信人的地址應寫在信封偏中右偏下處,2)信頭(heading),即寫發信人的地址和日期(右上角)。
3)信內姓名地址(inside address),即寫收信人的姓名和地址(左上角)。
4)稱呼(salutation),即寫對收信人的尊稱(一般用Dear Mr.? ,;Dear Madam Helen,;Dear Miss?,;Dear John,;Dear Professor Smith,等)。稱呼直接寫在收信人地址的正下方,中間空一至二行。稱呼后面的標點一般只能用逗號。
5)正文(body),即信件內的主要內容。正文第一句句子一般和稱呼之間空一至二行。
6)信尾客套語(complimentary close),即寫信人在信的右(或左)下角,寫上表示自己對收
信人一種禮貌客氣的謙稱。一般有Sincerely,;Sincerely yours,;Yours sincerely,;Friendlyyours,;Truly yours,;Yours truly,;Cordially yours,;Yours cordially,等。
7)信尾簽名(signature),即親筆簽上寫信人自己的姓名。如果是用打字機或電腦寫的信,在寫信人簽名的上方,同樣應該打上寫信人的姓名。
除以上七個部分外,有時一些英語書信還包括:(1)附件(Enclosure),以Enc.表示,如“附有。。。證明”應寫為Enc?Certificate;(2)再啟(Postscript),以P.S.表示;(3)抄送件(Carbon Copy to?),以c.c.表示,說明一式多份抄送其他有關人員。這些都是次要的補充部分。P.S.主要在私人信件中使用,事務信件中應避免使用,以免造成寫信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c.大都用在商貿信函中。
書寫款式
英語書信的款式一般有兩種:齊頭式(Block Style)和折衷式(Semi-Block Style)。齊頭式常常在商貿、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用,以顯示信件內容的嚴肅性,真實性,可靠性。而折衷式則顯的比較隨便,主要用于家人、朋友、私人之間來往的信件。如果兩人之間不是第一次通信,相互比較了解,可以省略信內的雙方地址。
信件書寫要求:
寫英語信件一般可以使用打字機、電腦,朋友之間比較隨便的信件也可以用鋼筆、圓珠筆甚至彩色筆,但不宜用鉛筆。不管你用什么形式書寫,一些重要的信件,簽名處必須用深藍色或黑色墨水筆簽名。

第三篇:英語信件-感謝信
一、感謝信
Sample 1 June 2006 Dear Mr.Seaton,Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to London.It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other famous sights.If I'd gone alone, I couldn't have seen nearly as much, because I wouldn't have known my way about.The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare.I still remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate.During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the afternoon and be windy before the night falls.So I think I was lucky.I think the river trip was the best thing of all.London really came alive for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to Greenwich.It was all tremendously exciting - a day that I shall never forget.Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.Yours sincerely,Linda Chen
Sample 2 July 2006
Dear Mr.Wang,Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA(Maywood Chinese Education Association).Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education.It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest.Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA.We' will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.Yours sincerely,George Chen

尊敬的王先生:
我給您寫這封信是想辭去我目前在雜志中的職位。
盡管我在這里僅僅工作了兩個月,但是我發現這份工作并不符合我的預期。首先,我的工資遠遠不能令人滿意,使我在這個物價水平高昂的城市中生活艱難。此外,到目前為止,我沒有機會負責任何具有挑戰性的工作。
我為對此可能給您帶來的不便致歉。
您真誠的,李明

您真摯的,李明
Dear Sir or Madam, I am a senior student from Tianjin University, and I wonder if you could spare some time to help me look for two reference books, Communication Principles and Organizational Communication, both published by Foreign Language Press in 2000.The two books are of particular importance to my graduation thesis, but I failed to obtain them from my university library as well as local bookstores.Could you please tell me whether the National Library has the mentioned books? If so, could you please do me the favor of photocopying and sending them to me by EMS? I would like to pay for the relevant expense by cash or credit card.Looking forward to a prompt reply from you.Sincerely yours, Li Ming 尊敬的先生或女士:
我是天津大學的一名大四學生,不知道是否可以占用您的一點時間幫我找兩本參考書?它們分別是《傳播學原理》和《組織傳播學》,都是由外文出版社于2000年出版。

希望能夠盡快得到您的答復。
您真誠的,李明
三、建議信(Letter of Advice)1.自我介紹、說明目的
2.委婉地提出建議及改進措施,或提出忠告 3.禮貌地總結或期盼回復
Tips: 提建議畢竟不是投訴,所以語言一定要委婉、禮貌,顧及他人感情。在提出缺點之前,最好,先肯定其優點 To Whom It May Concern, As a student of this university, I would like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation for your kind assistance as always.Meanwhile, I feel that it would be beneficial to express my views 1 concerning the quality of the library service.In the first place, I find that most keyboards of the library computers are in poor operation, which greatly inconveniences users.I would also recommend the library to improve the efficiency of purchasing new books and subscribing to academic journals.Last but not least, the study rooms need to be furnished with a better lighting system.I hope that you take my suggestions into serious consideration.Yours sincerely, Li Ming
有關負責人:
作為本校學生,我想利用這個機會對于您一直以來的幫助表示感謝。同時,我也想對圖書館的服務提出一些建議,相信將有助于服務的提高。
首先,我發現圖書館電腦的大部分鍵盤都有操作上的問題,給用戶帶來很多不便。我也想建議圖書館提高購買新書和定購學術期刊的工作效率。最后,自習教室的照明系統也需要進一步的改進。我希望您能夠認真考慮我的建議。
您真誠的,李明
Directions: Write a letter to the president of your college about the unpleasant conditions of the university dormitory, and suggesting possible solutions.You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.Use “Li Ming” instead.Do not write the address.Dear Sir, As I am a treshman,I feel that it is my obligation to make some suggestions concerning the basic , conditions of our dormitory.Generally speaking.The dormitory building situates in a satisfying environment and is well-equipped.However, there are two unpleasant aspects that cause inconvenience to us: 1)the heating system is in need of improvement-it fails to maintain warmth in our rooms during the winter;2)the furniture is not designed in a practical manner-there lacks a shelf to place books.I would be more than happy if my proposal could be considered and positive changes take place in these regards.Yours sincerely, Li Ming 尊敬的校長:
作為本校的一名大一新生,我覺得就學生宿舍條件提出一些建議是我應有的責任。
總的來說,我們的宿舍樓環境良好、設備齊全。但是,仍然存在一些不盡如人意的方面,給我們的生活帶來了不便:1.冬天室內暖氣不足,供暖系統需要進一步改進;2.家具設計不合理,沒有供我們放書的書架。
如果您能夠考慮我的這些建議并使學校在以上方面做出改進,我將感激不盡。
您真誠的,李明
四、求職信(Cover Letter of Job Application)1.自我介紹,說明求職目的 2.展示個人能力、經歷及求職動機 3.希望得到面試機會、表示感謝
