第一篇：英文書信的格式

1.概論

在飛躍版談?wù)摰挠⑽臅艑懽鲉栴},大約關(guān)注的有以下幾個方面:論文的寫作,推薦

信的寫作(這年頭,大家都是自己寫吧),ps的寫作。在寫作過程中，常常有同學(xué)因為

書信寫作格式的不統(tǒng)一，造成給人第一印象較差，也會給人一種未受過系統(tǒng)的英文

訓(xùn)練的感覺。下面，我就這幾種常見書信的寫作簡單談一下，主要是針對書信的格

式。

如果看word自帶的書信模版，主要會發(fā)現(xiàn)有以下幾種書信的格式，即contemporary, elegant 和 professional。我們在這里也主要以這三種模版為例，來向大家說

明一下

1.1 標(biāo)點概論

英文書寫中,我們主要可能遇到的標(biāo)點，想必大家都比較熟悉?，F(xiàn)在主要是選擇一

些重要的介紹一下。

逗號comma：注意，我們這里使用的是半角逗號“,”不是全角逗號“，”。在英

文中是極少使用全角字符的。逗號后要空一格，不過大多數(shù)時候word會自動幫你空

好這一格。如果是使用機(jī)械打字機(jī)打印ps的同學(xué)，這里要特別注意

句號period：注意：這里同樣是使用半角句號“.”洋人是不用那個圓圈的。句號

后根據(jù)不同的寫作風(fēng)格可以在后面空一格或兩格，這在后文有述

括號：同樣注意用半角，使用是前括號前面和后括號后面各空一格

省略號：洋人的省略號是三個點，不是六個點。可以使用三個句號代替。后面空

兩格

嘆號/問號：半角，后面空格的數(shù)量與文中句號后空格數(shù)量一致

1.2 字體概論

英文書信中經(jīng)常使用的字體格式通常有正體,斜體和黑體。

正體通常用于正文的書寫，這沒什么可說的。

斜體(italic)通常用于書名/船名/etc.注意英文里沒有書名號的，要是表達(dá)書名

號里的東西就用斜體。另外，外來語的東西(比如你叫wang peng 或francois peterson

或iori yoshizumi),也可以用斜體來表示

標(biāo)題通常用黑體(bold)表示,另外,特別需要著重的東西(比如你在ps里強(qiáng)調(diào)你學(xué)過

n年的deutsch之類)也可以用黑體

1.3 行距/段距概論

很多人都忽視了這一部分.實際上,行距和段距是不一樣的。在一般的印刷品中，段距一般是行距的兩倍。這在word的段落格式里可以設(shè)定。如果用打字機(jī)的，就打

兩下回車就可以了

另外，如果有1，2，3這樣的列舉項時，列舉項要相對正文縮進(jìn)一個tab的距離(四

個半角空格)，如

there are four board managers here in advancededu of bbs.pku.edu.cn, each

of whom has its own specifications.1)birdf, whose major was mathematics......2)ilovekoala, who.....................3)......................2.主要模版的寫法

2.1 letter contemporary

這個模版的最早原形可以追溯到一戰(zhàn)左右的出版物。最早時這個模板被用于高層

政府官員間的通信（非政府公文），所以蠻有些現(xiàn)代氣息。到二戰(zhàn)左右，這個模版

已經(jīng)定型了。在官方的備忘錄和現(xiàn)今的大多數(shù)出版物中，這個東東的影子都存在.這個模版應(yīng)用的字體是times new roman

對書信，這個模版主要格式如下：

（右對齊）單位，地址，電話（每項另起一行）

空兩行

（以下左對齊頂格）

日期

空一行

對方的單位/地址/電話（每項另起一行），如果是給教授寫信就免了，但給小秘

寫還是要的空一行

attention:xxxxxx就是你要找的人的名字,還是那句話,如果是給教授寫信就免了，但給小秘寫還是要的)

空一行

dear xxxxxx:

subject:..............你在信頭可以加個標(biāo)題寫上你這封信主要想說些啥,比如

question with the function of rnps during the post-modification process

of mrna.套磁可用.注意每單詞第一個字母大寫

然后就可以開始寫正文了。注意每段前不空格。

句號后空一格或兩格都成,不過注意要統(tǒng)一

正文結(jié)束

sincerely

空一行

姓名,頭銜,單位(每項另起一行)

如果簽名,簽在緊跟單位后面那一行的右對齊位置,簽大一點

2.2 letter elegant

這個模版的歷史可老了,真的是tooooooooold.可以溯至拉丁語通行的那時候,反正

出現(xiàn)活字印刷術(shù)的時候它肯定已經(jīng)在用了.如果看當(dāng)年那些特別老的手抄本羊皮書,也全都是這種格式.也正因為如此,這個模版不僅可以用在打印的書信上,即使是手

寫的書信,這個模版也一樣可用.如果是一些正式的特nb的政府組織的備忘錄或年鑒,一般都是這種格式

如果你是教授或大學(xué)教務(wù)處人員的話,回信用這個格式,是最合適不過的了

這個模版應(yīng)用的字體是garamond

主要格式如下

(右對齊)日期

空一行

（以下左對齊頂格）

對方的單位/地址/姓名(每項另起一行)

空一行

(頂格)dear xxxxxx:

(居中)subject.....(注意,這里要使用“小型大寫字母”那個選項,也就是看上去一

整個標(biāo)題都是大寫字母,只是高度不同.如果是打字機(jī),就開大寫鎖定).(不換行緊跟)文件號(比如file no.312.4a,用在很正式的文件,比如經(jīng)常看到的“校長辦公室文

件第x號”)

(左對齊)

正文,注意每段前空五個字符,可以用word的“首行縮進(jìn)”.如果使用and連接兩個名

詞或并列的短語的時候,要用&

句號后空兩個格

(正文結(jié)束)

空一行

(右對齊)sincerely yours

(右對齊)你的名字(打印)

(右對齊)你的名字(簽名),注意簽名要有一部分壓住打印的名字

空一行

(以下左對齊頂格)

職位,單位,地址(每項另起一行)

2.3 letter professional

這個模版的歷史最短,據(jù)ahd的附錄說它出自于六七十年代左右那些工程師之間的通信,由于它使用的字體無裝飾線,所以在很壞的環(huán)境中(如弱光,戶外)等也能看得

很清楚.如果你是學(xué)工科的,要給老板或未來老板寫一份manual或相應(yīng)的什么東西,這個最合適

這個模版應(yīng)用的字體是arial

對書信，這個模版主要格式如下：

（右對齊）單位，地址，電話（每項另起一行）

空兩行

（以下左對齊頂格）

日期

空一行

對方的單位/地址/電話（每項另起一行）

空一行

dear xxxxxx:

然后就可以開始寫正文了。注意每段前不空格。

句號后空一格或兩格,不過注意要統(tǒng)一

所有需要重點標(biāo)出的詞語都可以用bold格式

正文結(jié)束

sincerely

空一行

姓名,職位,單位(每項另起一行)

2.稱呼。（第三行最靠左的位置）
