英文書信的格式

英文書信的格式

英文書信的垂直式和齊頭式。

商業(yè)英文書信，一般都要求用打字機或電腦整齊地打印，左邊各行開頭垂直的，稱為垂直式或齊頭式（block style），美國常用這種格式；每段的第一個詞縮進去，稱為縮進式或鋸齒式（indented style），英國常用此格式。垂直式的職務(wù)及簽名都在左邊的邊欄界線，這種格式，在極度尊重工作效率的美國公司，已普遍采用。正式的商業(yè)英語書信要在稱呼的上方寫上收信公司名稱和地址或收信人的名字全稱、職務(wù)及地址，稱為信內(nèi)地址（inside address）。信內(nèi)地址的寫法也有垂直式和縮進式之

分，垂直式和稱美國式將各行并列，縮進式或稱英國式將各行依次退縮。

普通書信的寫法。

近來英國商業(yè)書信信內(nèi)地址并未依次縮進，似乎與美國式相同。此外，在美國還流行一種普通收信人地址的寫法，就是在書信的inside address中，把門牌號和街名都省略掉。在英文書信中要使用敬語，最普遍的敬語是mr，mrs和miss（用于未婚女性）。英國人常在男性的姓名之后用esq.（esquire的縮寫），不過在商業(yè)上也在慢慢地改用mr.mmes.（madam的復數(shù)形式），用于二個女士以上。messrs（mr的復數(shù)形式）用于二個以上的男人，或用于二個以上的男人組成的公司或團體。在英國式英文信里，mr, mrs, messrs，均不加縮寫句點，相反地趨向于進步自由的美語反而加縮寫句點如mr., mrs., messrs.。在稱呼方面，商業(yè)上最普遍的有g(shù)entlemen（美國式）與dear sirs（英國式）二種，相當于我國的“敬啟者”或“謹啟者”。

典型的美國式書寫法。

給公司單位寫信時美語用gentlemen（復數(shù)形式），英語用dear sirs。如果對方公司只一人時，必須使用sir/dear sir。稱呼后一般要使用標點符號，英國式采用逗號（comma），美國式用分號（colon）。書信結(jié)尾客套語（complimentary close）有多種，相當于我國書信在結(jié)尾時使用的“敬禮”、“致敬”、“順安”等句。最為典型的美國式寫法是sincerely和best regards，典型的英國式表達有yours sincerely（熟人或知道對方姓名），best wishes, kind regards 和yours

faithfully（不知姓名）。此外，英國式的客套語還有特別禮貌的格式，但除了特殊情況外，現(xiàn)在不再使用。

（一）英語書信結(jié)構(gòu)、書寫款式及要求：

1．書信結(jié)構(gòu)

英語書信結(jié)構(gòu)一般有以下幾個部分組成：

1）信封（envelope）。英語的信封和中文的一樣，有三部分組成，即發(fā)信人地址、收信人地址和郵票。只不過英語信封的格式除了郵票所貼的位置（信封的右上角）和中文的一樣外，英語信封上要寫的發(fā)信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一樣。發(fā)信人的地址應寫在信封的左上角，收信人的地址應寫在信封偏中右偏下處，如下：

2）信頭(heading)，即寫發(fā)信人的地址和日期（右上角）。

3）信內(nèi)姓名地址(inside address)，即寫收信人的姓名和地址（左上角）。

4）稱呼(salutation)，即寫對收信人的尊稱（一般用dear mr.… ,;dear madam helen,;dear miss…,;dear john,;dear professor smith,等）。稱呼直接寫在收信人地址的正下方，中間空一至二行。稱呼后面的標點一般只能用逗號。以上信頭、信內(nèi)姓名和地址三部分的結(jié)構(gòu)如下：

注：如果是相當熟悉和隨便的朋友

之間，因為彼此都知道對方的地址，故信頭和信內(nèi)的地址常常省略。

第二篇：英文書信

書信應包含的要點：

1.日期。（第一行最靠右的位置）

2.稱呼。（第三行最靠左的位置）

3.第一段．寒暄語句，引出寫信的目的。（寒暄句+主題句）

4.第二段．根據(jù)提綱擴展主體段落．（重視邏輯與銜接）

5.第三段．寒暄句I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.6.Best wishes

我非常高興地聽說，貴會自成立以來工作成績卓著，在國內(nèi)外享有盛名。因此，我認為加入貴會是莫大的榮譽。

本人于1998年畢業(yè)于××大學水利系，后受聘××研究所，擔任助理。2001年進入××省水利學會，從事研究工作。畢業(yè)后8年來，我先后發(fā)表了兩本有關(guān)水利樞紐的專著和四篇論述水利工程學和其他題目的文章。我一向覺得，我過去在許多情況下單憑個人的努力是難于克服研究工作中的某些困難，我經(jīng)常要請其他人幫助和支援。為了向前輩學習，取得他們的指導、合作和配合，跟上水利方面日新月異的飛躍發(fā)展形勢，我希望能加入貴會，成為會員。
