如何看懂英文郵件中的術(shù)語(yǔ) 掌握常見(jiàn)書(shū)寫(xiě)規(guī)則

　　你每天會(huì)收到多少封電子郵件?雖然打電話和發(fā)短信都可以交流，但是在工作中和交往中郵件仍然很重要。學(xué)習(xí)用英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)電子郵件無(wú)疑是提高英語(yǔ)的重要一環(huán)。首先我們看看如何看懂和理解英語(yǔ)郵件的術(shù)語(yǔ)和表達(dá)。

　　The purpose of the emai l判斷電子郵件的目的以決定如何回應(yīng)

　　1.To inform 提供信息

　　The sender of the email wants to tell the receiver about something such as a new show coming to London. It might contain a link to the theatre. Generally speaking no reply is necessary。It can be a group email sent to a circle of friends for example.

　　發(fā)郵件的人想把什么事情告訴收件人。比如，倫敦將上映一場(chǎng)新劇目并附上劇院鏈接。一般情況下不需要回復(fù)。可能是群發(fā)，比如發(fā)在朋友圈上。

　　舉例：

　　Dear all,

　　Hope you are all well. Just to let you know that The China National Peking Opera is coming to London at the end of November to perform classical Peking Opera and the show will only be on for three days, so grab your tickets soon. Here is the link xxx

　　各位：

　　希望大家都好。告訴你們一聲，中國(guó)國(guó)家京劇院將于11月底來(lái)倫敦表演中國(guó)古典京劇。只演出三天，快訂票啦。這是鏈接xxx

　　2.To Inquire 詢問(wèn)

　　The sender needs some information and is expecting a reply. For example, ask Airline Company for travel rules and regulationsregarding children.

　　發(fā)郵件的人需要了解一些信息并期待回復(fù)。比如，詢問(wèn)航空公司對(duì)未成年孩子旅行的要求和規(guī)定。

　　舉例：

　　Dear Sir/Madam，

　　I am writing to inquire about the rules regarding children travelling alone. For instance, can a 15 year old child travel onAir China alone? What should we do if there is not an adult to accompany the child?

　　I look forward to your advice

　　尊敬的先生/女士：

　　我寫(xiě)信想詢問(wèn)貴公司對(duì)未成年兒童單獨(dú)旅行的規(guī)定。比如，一名15歲兒童能不能單獨(dú)乘坐中國(guó)航空公司飛機(jī)旅行?如果沒(méi)有成人陪伴怎么辦?

　　我期待收到您的建議。

　　3.To request 請(qǐng)求

　　The third scenario is asking for permission to do something, such as an annual leave request at workor asking for permission to work from home.

　　第三種情況是發(fā)郵件提出請(qǐng)求和批準(zhǔn)。比如請(qǐng)年假或因照顧家提出在家里工作申請(qǐng)。

　　舉例：

　　Dear Ruth,

　　I'm writing to see if it is possible for me to work from home on Fridays for the next 2years. My wife is part-time so she can pick up the kids Monday to Thursday. But she can'tdo Fridays when she needs to be in the office all day.

　　I would be most grateful if you could consider my request.

　　Thanks,

　　Benjamin

　　親愛(ài)的 Ruth:

　　我不知道可不可申請(qǐng)?jiān)诮酉聛?lái)的兩年時(shí)間內(nèi)每周五在家工作。我妻子現(xiàn)在是兼職，她可以星期一到星期四負(fù)責(zé)接送孩子。但是星期五她不行，因?yàn)樗谵k公室工作一整天時(shí)間。

　　如果您能考慮我的請(qǐng)求我將非常感謝。

　　謝謝

　　Benjamin

　　4.Stayin touch.保持聯(lián)系

　　Writing to say hello for the purpose of maintaining social connections, friendship and perhaps future collaboration.

　　寫(xiě)封郵件問(wèn)問(wèn)好。目的是保持來(lái)往、友誼或者是為未來(lái)合作保持聯(lián)系。

　　舉例：

　　Hi Alan,

　　How are you doing with your new house? It's a gigantic job for one person but you are a superman of course!

　　I went to Singapore for a conference in September and to Washington for the annual IMF meeting shortly after. I have been so busy that I have not played any sports for two months!

　　Let me know when you will be free so we can have a game of squash and a drink.

　　Best,

　　Harry

　　Alan，你好：

　　你的新房子搞得怎樣啦?一個(gè)人裝修一套房子可是個(gè)巨大工程呀，不過(guò)你不同你是個(gè)超人啊。

　　我9月份去新加坡參加會(huì)議，接著，就是十月份去華盛頓參加國(guó)際貨幣基金組織的年會(huì)。我一直特別忙，有兩個(gè)月都沒(méi)怎么運(yùn)動(dòng)過(guò)!

　　看看你什么時(shí)候有時(shí)間，咱們一起去打場(chǎng)壁球，然后去酒吧喝上一杯呀。

　　祝好

　　Harry
