编者按:精品学习网站点为广大考生第一时间发布考试资讯。

一、文法上

1、切忌主客不分或模糊

例子:Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate,our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.”

应改为:Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate,we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We决定呀,不是report.)

2、句子不要凌碎

例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 应该连在一起。

3、结构对称,令人容易理解。

例子:The owner questioned the occupant’s lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings.

应改为:The owner questioned the occupant’s lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.

4.单众数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒服。

例如:An authorized person must show that they have security clearance.

5.动词主词要呼应。想想这两个分别:

1.This is one of the public-relations functions that is underbudgeted.

2. This is one of the public-relations functions,which are underbudgeted.

6.时态和语气不要转变太多。看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费人家的精力啊。

7.标点要准确。

例如:He did not make repairs,however,he continued to monitor the equipment.

改为:He did not make repairs; however,he continued to monitor the equipment.

8.选词正确。好像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。

9.拼字正确。有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒。

10.大小写要注意。非必要不要整个字都是大写,除非要骂人

例如: MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。要强调的话,用底线,斜字,粗体就可以了。

二、写信提示

1.人家的名字千万不要错。老一辈的看到名字错就干脆撵去垃圾桶。同样,头衔都不要错。 头衔或学位,任择其一吧。以下是一样的: Howard E. Wyatt, D.D.SPhD. Dr. Howard E. Hyatt

2.多过一个男人,用Messrs,就是Misters的意思,不过不要跟名字,跟姓就行啦。例如: Messrs. Smith,Wyatt,and Fury 。

女人呢? 用Mesdames,Mmes.,or Mses. 同样不要跟名字。 例子: Mses. Farb, Lionel, and Gray 。

男女一齐呢? 弄清楚称呼就行。例如:Dr. and Mrs. Harold Wright ;Mr. Harold Wright and Dr. Margaret Wright ;Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Adams-Quinn 。

3.有人有自己头衔就要跟紧,例如有人有荣誉学位就不喜欢用一般的头衔啊~有时大头不知道对方头衔,干脆用Ms.算了。Ms. Sarah Gray

4.地址要低日期至少两行。处名时,职衔短可以一行过,长就下一行吧。例如:

Ken Green, President /Ken Green /Vice President of International Operations

但这个就显得有点……:

Ken Green /Vice President of Unicom China

正确应为:

Ken Green /Vice President,Unicom China

5.老外的名字有时有Jr. 或 Sr.,之前的逗点是随你喜欢的,以下都是正确,不要笑人:

Michael J. Smith, Jr. /Michael J. Smith Sr.

6.外国国名尽量用大写。是为尊重,也方便邮差叔叔。

7.地址上的数字直接用阿拉伯数字吧,除了One,例子

127 Ninth Avenue,North

127 E. 15 Street

5 Park Avenue

One Wingren Plaza

556 - 91 Street

8.标点要准确。

例如:He did not make repairs,however,he continued to monitor the equipment.

改为:He did not make repairs; however,he continued to monitor the equipment.

9.选词正确。好像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。

10.拼字正确。有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒。

11.大小写要注意。非必要不要整个字都是大写,除非要骂人

例如:MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。要强调的话,用底线,斜字,粗体就可以了。
