二、外貿(mào)函電寫(xiě)作文體技巧

   1.可讀性.對(duì)象是大學(xué)程度的話(huà),用高中的英文就行.多用短句(15-20字為佳), 技術(shù)性的字,就更加要簡(jiǎn)單易明. 
  2.注意段落的開(kāi)頭.一般來(lái)說(shuō),重要或強(qiáng)調(diào)的事情都放在信件或段落的開(kāi)頭,而句子就放在最尾. 例如: 1.Because he was unable to attend the meeting personally, he forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape. 2.He forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape because he was unable to attend the meeting personally. 兩者強(qiáng)調(diào)的事情就有分別了. 

   3.輕重有分. 等同重要的用and來(lái)連接,較輕放在次要的句子里. 來(lái)源:報(bào)關(guān)員培訓(xùn)網(wǎng)

   4.意思轉(zhuǎn)接詞要留神. 例如: but (相反), therefore (結(jié)論), also (增添), for example (闡明). furthermore和moreover 

   5.句子開(kāi)頭不要含糊不清的主詞. 例子: These decisions have been a big disappointment to the committee members. They have delayed further action. They是指什么呀????開(kāi)頭少用this, that, it, they, 或 which. 

   6.修飾詞的位置要小心,例如: He could only reimburse the cost after July 15. 應(yīng)為 He could reimburse the cost only after July 15. 

   7.用語(yǔ)要肯定準(zhǔn)確.切忌含糊. 例如:The figures show a significant increase.” Significant十分不明確, 改為: The figures show an increase of 19%. 

   8.立場(chǎng)觀點(diǎn)一致. 少用被動(dòng)語(yǔ). 例如: Partial data should be submitted by April. 改為: You should submit partial data by April.就很好了.
