因为工作关系我这个英语四级擦边过的人,要重新开始学英语,当然当务之急就是先开始英文邮件,然后我拿出了我大学的函电书(还好当初不远千里的运了回来,不然还要死点脑细胞找教材)开始了我的邮件自学之路,以下是我的一些整理笔记。今天分享出来给大家,给有需要的同学借鉴下。
笔记主要以句型为主,一个意思多种表达,这个真的很重要,我本人亲身实践,当你词穷的时候就会知道书到用时方恨少是怎么一种感受了,我这是有血泪经历的,所以平时多积累一点不会有错的。
函电的开头一般要简洁,以开门见山直入主题为主!!!
这个很重要,我用了三个感叹号。刚开始写邮件的人,开头会写一大堆我是谁谁谁,我们公司资历怎么怎么样,选择我们就是你们的什么什么,等等之类的,很繁杂,其实根本没人会关心这些,也没有人想浪费时间去看这些,很多这样开头的直接就是扔进垃圾箱里,一点机会都不给你。你问我怎么知道,因为我就是这么筛选邮件的。我就是一个小业务员,每天的邮件已经达到二三十封了,很多我就是看个标题然后扔垃圾箱,好点的看了开头然后扔垃圾箱的。这些小细节如果有需要我以后有机会再分享。
回归主题~
根据邮件目的不同一般分为两类:一、回复。二、主动联系对方。
一、回复信件的一般开头的形式有:
1、感谢对方的来信。
开头可以这么表达:
We thank you for…
Thank you for…
We appreciate…
We were pleased toreceive…
Please accept ourthanks for …
省略号后可以接:your letter (inquiry,telex,e-mail,fax etc.) of … +内容
2、对来信进行回复。
We are please toreply to …
In answer to …
In response to …
In reply to …
省略号后可以接:your letter (inquire , telex, e-mail, fax etc.) of …+内容
3、回复来信中的有关问题
With reference to …
In reference to …
Regerring to…
We refer to…
省略号接:your letter (inquire , telex , e-mail , fax etc.) of …+内容
4、回复来信中提出的要求和指示
As requested …
As required…
As instructed…

后接:to learn from your letter of …that…
6、表达遗憾和惊讶

二、主动联系可以用的开头方式:
1、通过别人介绍了解到对方

The name of yourreputable firm has come to us through …
We have has yourname and address given to us by …
2、对以前邮件的补充或确认

对我方某年某月某日的邮件补充如下

后接:to inform you that…+内容
We have thepleasure informing you that…
玆荣幸的通知贵方…
We regret toinform you that …
我们遗憾的通知贵方…
(这里我把一些翻译也打出来了,不是说这么个低级的英语你们看不懂,相信很多大咖都是嗤之以鼻的,这些句子很多人看懂直译都是没有问题的,就是看看学习下同样一句话在商务英语中是如何翻译的更专业,既然学了就不要学的一半半,你说是吧。)
最后讲下邮件的结尾也一定要简洁!!(我用了两个感叹号,你们懂的)
如果期待对方的答复可以说:
We shall be gladtohave …
We hope to befavored with …
We shall beobliged for …
We are waiting for…
We shallappreciate …
We look forward to…
+your reply (answer , favorable , news , comment , etc.)
We trust to hear…
We hope to hear…
We shall be gladto hear…
Please let us hear…
+from you about /concerning /in this respect /in this matter .
若无需对方答复可以说:
1、表达希望合作的意愿
We thank you forthe services you rendered in this matter
Thank you for yourattention to this matter
We appreciate yourpatronage and hopethat pleasant relationshipestablished between us will continue
Your favorablecooperation will be greatly appreciated
另外我自己常用的是:Looking forward to working with you in the
near future .(我感觉这句特别简单实在接地气,哈哈)
2、表达歉意
We apologize forthe delay in reply to your letter
We regret thetrouble we are causing you
Please accept ourapology for the inconvenience we have caused you
We regret that weare unable to be of assistance to you
We regret that wecan’t meet your requirements.
这里既然提到了道歉的表达,我也来说说我的血泪史…曾经我一个客户我货都出了两年了,两年后找我说产品有问题…这其中的复杂纷争我就不说了,反正这期间的邮件往来中必要用到一些道歉的句子,然后我就词穷的发现我只会sorry... I am sorry…it is sorry…然后就没了…没了…这就是我平时不积累的悲剧…你总不能邮件通篇都是sorry满屏吧,同时我那段时间焦头烂额的事情一堆一堆的多还要挤出时间去狂百度道歉的各种用法,真是恨自己平时咋都不知道好好积累点呢!鉴于此,我忠心的希望平时有需要写英文邮件的同学能好好多积累点,真的是百益无一害,现在用不上以后有一天会用上的,没坏处。
