如何看懂英文郵件中的術語 掌握常見書寫規(guī)則

　　你每天會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。學習用英語寫電子郵件無疑是提高英語的重要一環(huán)。首先我們看看如何看懂和理解英語郵件的術語和表達。

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

　　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，倫敦將上映一場新劇目并附上劇院鏈接。一般情況下不需要回復?？赡苁侨喊l(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，中國國家京劇院將于11月底來倫敦表演中國古典京劇。只演出三天，快訂票啦。這是鏈接xxx

　　2.To Inquire 詢問

　　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。比如，詢問航空公司對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：

　　我寫信想詢問貴公司對未成年兒童單獨旅行的規(guī)定。比如，一名15歲兒童能不能單獨乘坐中國航空公司飛機旅行?如果沒有成人陪伴怎么辦?

　　我期待收到您的建議。

　　3.To request 請求

　　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)郵件提出請求和批準。比如請年假或因照顧家提出在家里工作申請。

　　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

　　親愛的 Ruth:

　　我不知道可不可申請在接下來的兩年時間內每周五在家工作。我妻子現在是兼職，她可以星期一到星期四負責接送孩子。但是星期五她不行，因為她要在辦公室工作一整天時間。

　　如果您能考慮我的請求我將非常感謝。

　　謝謝

　　Benjamin

　　4.Stayin touch.保持聯系

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

　　寫封郵件問問好。目的是保持來往、友誼或者是為未來合作保持聯系。

　　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?一個人裝修一套房子可是個巨大工程呀，不過你不同你是個超人啊。

　　我9月份去新加坡參加會議，接著，就是十月份去華盛頓參加國際貨幣基金組織的年會。我一直特別忙，有兩個月都沒怎么運動過!

　　看看你什么時候有時間，咱們一起去打場壁球，然后去酒吧喝上一杯呀。

　　祝好

　　Harry
