書信(letter)

? 概

述

書信是人們在日常生活和工作中進行交際的工具，也是書面表達中常見的考試文體。由于民族語言和習(xí)慣上的差異，英語信件在書寫格式及表達方式上與漢語不大一樣，有些地方迥然不同。本節(jié)將向大家介紹一般格式及各種常見信件，如家信、祝賀信、道歉信及自薦信等。

? 一般格式

? 英文書信的構(gòu)成可分為8個部分：

? 信頭(Heading), 日期(Date), 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address), 稱呼(Salutation), 信文(Body of the letter), 結(jié)束語(Complimentary close), 署名(Signature), 附言(P.S.)

? 信頭(Heading)

? 信頭是指發(fā)信人的單位名稱或地址。一般情況下發(fā)信人只需把自己的地址寫(打字，手寫均可)在信的右上角，離開信紙的頂頭約1英寸，占二三行或四行均可，格式如下：①齊頭式 ②縮進式

? 注意：寫地址的次序與中文不同，應(yīng)先寫門牌號碼街道，然后城市和國名。寫地址時采用齊頭或縮進式，以及每行后要不要加標點符號，都沒有固定的規(guī)定。如寫給經(jīng)常往來的親友，這項地址也可以省略。? 日期(Date):

? 寫日期注意下列各點：

? ①年份應(yīng)寫全，例如不能用“99”來代替“1999”；

? ②月份應(yīng)寫英文名稱，除May, July外，可用縮寫，如：Sep., Oct.。但不要用數(shù)字來代替，如7／4／99 或7，4，99，因為在英國此日期代表 7th April，1999，而美國則代表4th July，1999。

? ③日期可用1，2，3，4…11，12…21，22…31等，也可用1st，2nd，3rd，4th…11th，21th…22nd…31st等。? 日期的幾種寫法： ? a．July 7，1998 ? b．1st October, 1998 ? c．30 Nov., 1997 ? d．Sep.3rd, 1999

? ④特別注意英文書信日期應(yīng)緊接著發(fā)信人地址下一行，不能像寫中文書信那樣寫在書信簽名之后，這是很多學(xué)生的常見錯誤。? 收信人姓名及地址

(Inside Name and Address)

? 發(fā)信人的地址和日期寫好以后，接著就要寫收信人的姓名和地址，一般的事務(wù)信件或給較生疏的朋友的信件要寫，而在給極熟的朋友的信中則可省去。這一項寫在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名寫一行，收信人地址可分兩行或三行寫，和寫信人?

? ?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 的地址一樣，上下可取齊，也可以向右縮進。在姓名前一般要加上稱號，稱號因人而異。

①對普通男子用Mr.；②對未婚女子用Miss；③對已婚女子用Mrs.，對婚姻狀況不明確的通常用Ms(后跟本人姓)；④對男子用Master；⑤對教授或博士(醫(yī)生)用Prof．或Dr． 稱呼(Salutation)

稱呼指的是信文開頭的那種稱呼，正規(guī)書信體的稱謂比較完整、嚴肅，或用先生、女士等開頭，如Mr.Bush;或用職稱開頭，如Dear Doctor;或用頭銜，如Dear Mr.Mayor。

非正式書信常用于同事和親朋好友之間，因而稱謂相對隨便，可以直呼其名或昵稱。信文(Body of the letter)

信文是信件的主體部分，也就是信的內(nèi)容。正文應(yīng)在稱呼下一行開始。信的開頭第一個字母通常和稱呼開頭第一個詞平齊。也有往后退四個字母的。

正規(guī)書信一般要求3段或以上語言為書面體，而非正式書信一般不超過兩段，語言多為口語。

Useful Expression 開頭語

①相當(dāng)于中文的“敬君者”。a．I beg to inform you that…

b．I beg to take this opportunity to inform you that … c．I have the honor to address you that…

d． I write

in

a

hurry

to

inform

you

that… e．I have the pleasure to tell you that…

f.I'm very much delighted to inform you that…

②相當(dāng)于中文的“接讀某月某日來信，一切知悉”。a．I thank you very much for your letter of May 20th … b．Your letter of May 20th has been received with thanks.c．It gives me great pleasure to receive your kind of May 20th.d．In answer to your kind letter of May 20th, I deeply regret that … e．I have received your kind letter of May 20th.f．Words can't express my delight on finding your favor of yesterday on my desk this morning.g．Your letter dated May 20th has been received.結(jié)尾語

①采用分詞短語：句末用逗號，不用句號。例如： a．Waiting for your good news, b．Looking forward to your early reply, c．Hoping to hear from you soon, d．Hoping you are enjoying good health, e．Regretting that I can't give you a more favorite reply, f．Regretting the trouble I'm causing you, g．Wishing you every success, h．Wishing you a pleasant journey, i．Wishing you a happy New Year, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ②采用介詞短語，例如： a．With best regards, b．With kind regards to your family, c．With best wishes to you and yours, d．With best wishes for your success and happiness, e．With best wishes for your success in your new field of work, f．With best regards and wishing you all success, g．With warmest regards, h．With best regards to you and your family, i．With the season's greetings, ③采用完整句子：

a．We are waiting for your good news.b．I hope to receive your early reply.c．We look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.d．I thank you very much for your services, and wish your continued success.結(jié)束語(Complimentary Close)

① 業(yè)務(wù)書信常用：Yours faithfully, Faithfully yours, Yours truly, Truly yours, Sincerely yours, ② 公函常用：Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours sincerely, ③私人書信常用：Sincerely yours, Yours very sincerely, Yours affectionately, Yours ever, ④給親戚朋友的信常用：Love, All my love, Your(ever)loving son/daughter/cousin , etc.Your affectionate nephew, lovingly, Lovingly yours, 署名(Signature)

正規(guī)書信體的署名應(yīng)用發(fā)信人的全名；非正規(guī)書信體則比較靈活。① 個人署名：truly, W.J.Watson ,Yours faithfully, Martha Qing ②公司署名：Legend Computer Company, Wang Lin ,Sales Manager 附言(Postscript)

發(fā)信人有時在寫完信后又想起一件比較重要的事沒有說，可以在信末署名下面幾行寫上，P.S.(Postscript的縮寫)，然后將要補充的話寫上。不過要注意寫信時最好將事情一次講清楚，盡量少用或不用P.S.。? 常見信件種類 ? 感

以上價格是基于最小訂量50根

Above price is basic on the total quantity of 50pcs

關(guān)于XX我們暫不能報價，因為不知道規(guī)格

we could not quote for you without knowing the its demension,pls advice

如果你能給我么寄個樣品那就太好了，我們就很容易得到一些參數(shù)了

if you can send us a sample of your XX,which could be best we can finger out everyting more clearly.您能告訴我們數(shù)量嗎，如果我們得知的話，報價就很精確了

can you let me know how many pec you want to buy,the price is going to quote would be exat closer if you know the quantity of the order

數(shù)量500個，F(xiàn)OB天津價價格50美元/個

FOBtianjin for each pec is 50USD based on the quantity of 500 pec the price i quote is estimated price,because the quantity is not that large,the export opertation cost for each pcs is higher

than that the quantity could be very large,you could be understand ,right?pls hopefully we can find a way to cut down the

price a bit after we receive your sample.我報的價格只是一個估計的價格，因為數(shù)量不是很大，您應(yīng)該能理解在出口的操作中一個的成本價高于大數(shù)量的成本價。希望在收到你的樣品后，我們能找到一個降低成本的辦法

they told me that the price stay the same as we quote before 技術(shù)人員告訴我價格和我們以前報的一樣。

but it is much more complicated than we expected,and the price would change a lot ,we are asking for 5USD more for each piece now.we will try our best to keep price for the mould the same as we quote before 但是它比我們想象的要復(fù)雜多了，價格也有了變動。我們每個要求加5美元。我們會盡力在模具上維持原來的價格的。

i understand your feeling,because the price has changed a lot compared with what we quoted before,business should not been like this,but allow me to provide a explaination.我理解你的感受，價格相比與以前增長了很多，做生意不應(yīng)該是這樣的，但是請給我一個解釋的機會。

for your item,we should pay for the material,labor force,packaging,delivery(from our factory to the airport),ect, i know this could be a long term business,we can inmagine how much we get from the business,i don't have idea how many pec we should produce then we can get the 3200UDS back.關(guān)于你的商品，我們必須付材料費，人工費，包裝費，運費等等，我們知道我們能從這次交易中賺多少錢，但是我們不知道我們要生產(chǎn)多少個才能掙回這3200USD。

our company has 100 hard workers,wise leader,advanced machine and standard workshop,so we can guarantee the qualities of our production and the time of the delivery.我們公司有100勤奮的工人，英明的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，先進的機器和標準的車間，所以我們能夠保證生產(chǎn)的質(zhì)量和交貨期。

the price of the material is higher than the last year,so the price seems a little high,and second the RMB is raising in value more and more.材料的價格比去年上漲了，所以價錢可能高了一點，還有一點就是人們幣的匯率呈增高的走勢

well,i think you shouldn't compare our price with the other suppliers without seeing our quality.our price is higher than othersbecause our quality is better than others.我認為在看到我們的質(zhì)量以前，你不應(yīng)該拿我們的價格和其他供應(yīng)商相比，我們的價格高因為我們的質(zhì)量比較好

at present,the product's price is unstable,and is undergoing major fluctuations 目前產(chǎn)品的價格很不穩(wěn)定，而且很動蕩

thanks for your sincerity,i will apply the lowest price for you,but i am afraid there is no much space, as you know,price is not the only reason,we must consider the credit standing and sevice, i hope you can come to our factory and visit us,hope you can consider our factory,except price ,the other things are also very improtant,do you think.

1外地的游客們：

你們好！

我是古都西安的一個小市民，在我眼中，西安的的確確是一個國際旅游大都市，今天就讓我來介紹介紹西安的旅游圣地吧。

秦始皇陵及兵馬俑可算得上是西安名聲最大的旅游圣地了吧！在兵馬俑博物館里，所有的陶人個個造型逼真，隊陣規(guī)模龐大、氣勢雄偉，更令人驚訝的是所有陶人中竟無一雷同。

距秦始皇陵兵馬俑最近的就屬華清池了，這是一個沐浴的好地方，在唐代，曾是唐玄宗及愛妃楊玉環(huán)游玩沐浴的場所?，F(xiàn)在，每年的4月到10月，每晚8點，都會在這里上演歷史情景劇《長恨歌》。華清池上，就是那著名的驪山，因為遠看像一匹青馬，所以稱為“驪山”。

在西安市區(qū)內(nèi)，還有許多旅游圣地。如那具有極高藝術(shù)價值、珍藏著3000多種藝術(shù)珍品的陜西歷史博物館；又如那珍藏著王維、王羲之、吳道子等著名書法家、詩人、畫家的作品的碑林博物館，還有那有“晨鐘暮鼓”之說的鐘鼓樓。

在曲江新區(qū)，還有兩個不得不去的地方。一是大雁塔和大慈恩寺。在大雁塔北廣場，有一個孩子們都喜歡去的地方-----亞洲最大的音樂噴泉廣場。二是大唐芙蓉園。這是西北最大、能充分展示盛唐風(fēng)貌的大型皇家園林式文化主題公園。

西安還有城墻、青龍寺、興慶宮公園、清真寺、半坡博物館等一些旅游圣地。西安的旅游勝地真的多的數(shù)不勝數(shù)，還不快來西安轉(zhuǎn)一轉(zhuǎn)？

2親愛的同學(xué)們：

你們好!

每個家庭都是溫暖的，愛自己的家，愛自己的親人便是愛自己。而在我們的成長中，失敗后讓我們不氣餒的往往是父母，而成功的時候和我們一起分享喜悅的也總是我們的父母。在現(xiàn)在的日子里你是否想過與爸媽交朋友呢？

記得那個周日，家里買來一個大盆與一盆土，媽媽打算讓我們在里面種些菜，體驗下收獲的樂趣。于是剛買回來我和老爸就開始動手了，我先負責(zé)把土犁好，可是犁土并不簡單。于是叫來了媽嗎一起幫忙。土又黑又硬，想把它犁好可不是個小事，還要便挑出里面的臟東西。媽媽先帶著我犁左邊的土，媽媽說：“這土這么硬，不如加點水。”聽了這話我突然豁然開朗，在土里刨了刨便去準備水，拿來噴壺，那場景可熱鬧了。

老媽像一個指揮官，又像一個熟練兵法的老兵，先讓我往那噴，她便快速的往那里刨，不過一會兒，這盆便犁好，看著它，我和老媽特高興。接著老爸就來顯神通了，讓我快速把香菜種子拿過去。我心里一陣歡喜，心想：終于可以大開眼界了，老爸可是有經(jīng)驗的呀！他在封口處小心翼翼拿剪刀絞開，在手中先放了一個，在土里拿指頭往下探，不一會兒大約一個指甲蓋長短的土坑就映入我的眼簾。我睜大眼睛瞪著看他它，巴不得馬上就把它學(xué)會。老爸接著從袋子中小心翼翼地拿出種子，往坑里慢慢放。我看到后急急地準備埋，可是爸爸立馬攔住了我：“現(xiàn)在還不能埋，現(xiàn)在埋了，現(xiàn)在埋了，一會兒你又怎么記得這里埋種子了？“爸爸的話顯然說服了我，接下來就是我大顯身手的時候了。

我照貓畫虎地埋種子一個，兩個……五個，六個……十個，十一個，不一會兒，我就放滿了種子。這些種子并沒有我想像地那么漂亮，有點白，并不是很綠，總之，一開始我并不喜歡它。種子很小，取的時候要很小心，如果再像我這樣抓取的話那么肯定種不好的。(范文網(wǎng)　004km.cn)種子小到一個指甲縫一樣，我真希望它能早日生長，快快長大。這幾天它已發(fā)芽了，看著那一個個綠色的苗，感到一家人的功夫沒白費，而我和老爸老媽的關(guān)系又進了一步。

我希望菜苗能像我一樣茁壯成長，健康的長大，而我一定會像爸媽照顧我一樣好好看照小菜苗。希望所有的朋友們都能和自己的爸媽交朋友，愛上自己的家庭，愛上自己的親人，有一個平安快樂的家。

書信格式范文3:童年趣事

親愛的媽媽：

您好！三八婦女節(jié)就要來到了，祝您節(jié)日快樂！您陪伴我走過了11個春夏秋冬，看著我一點點成長，非常感謝您。回想過去的點點滴滴，有許多難忘的童年趣事令我至今記憶猶新。

媽媽，您還記得嗎？在我6歲那年，您買回來一大盒浴鹽，要給我洗澡，看著盒子里白花花的鹽，我十分好奇地問：“鹽也能洗澡嗎？”“當(dāng)然了，而且洗完了還很香呢！”隨后，浴缸里出現(xiàn)了許多雪白雪白的泡沫，它們越來越多，就像一座用棉花堆成的小山，我迫不及待地像一條小魚似的鉆進了“棉花堆”里。哇！真是好滑好香呀，一股玫瑰的香氣鉆進了我的鼻子，我邊洗澡邊玩兒起了那些可愛的泡泡們，它們在燈光的照射下，變幻著七彩的光芒，有的還被我吹到了空中，慢慢飄舞，這次的泡泡浴洗的真是太過癮了，我一直賴在浴缸里，不愿意離開。

又過了一個星期，您沒在家，爸爸讓我自己洗澡，我立刻翻箱倒柜找起了您說的那個什么鹽，可怎么找也沒有找到，我靈機一動，反正都是鹽，就從廚房里端出了鹽罐子，往浴缸里放了足足五大勺，打開水龍頭，可是為什么沒有泡泡呢？我的“棉花山”哪里去了呢？可能洗洗就有了，我自以為是的鉆進了水里，上次又滑又香的感覺完全沒有了，不管我怎么撩水、拍水，就是不見泡泡的蹤跡，真令我失望。很快嘴里澀澀的咸味和身上一陣陣的刺癢，令我趕緊爬了出來。您回來后，看到衛(wèi)生間里滿地的水和鹽罐子，還沒來得及開口，我就邊撓著癢癢邊訴苦：“您這個洗澡的鹽壞了，沒有泡泡，洗完了身上還特別癢?！蹦牶蠊笮ζ饋恚Φ醚劢嵌剂鞒隽藴I花，“傻孩子，炒菜的鹽怎么能洗澡呢？浴鹽才是洗澡用的?！彪S后，您從臥室里找出了浴鹽，幫我又洗了一個香噴噴的泡泡浴，我的身上才不癢了，這都是我自以為是釀成的后果。

后來，每次洗澡，我都會想到這件有趣的童年往事。媽媽，您還記得嗎？

敬禮！
