英文书信格式及范文

一、 英文书信的结构

二、 书信作文的出题形式和写作要领

三、 书信作文练习及其参考范文

书信是重要的交际工具。英文书信分为两大类:公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间来往的书信,可能是推荐信、求职信、入学申请书、邀请信,或询问、答复、反映意见(如投诉信)等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来,私人信件不拘形式,信文多用手写,也可打印;公务信件要求比较严格,必须遵循一定的格式,信文一定要打印。

第一节 英文书信的结构

英文书信一般由以下六部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。

5.1.1 信头(Heading)

信头是指发信人的地址和日期,通常写在第一页的右上角。行首可以齐头写,也可以逐行缩进写。地址的书写顺序由小到大:门牌号、街道、城市、省(州)、邮编、国名,最后写发信日期。私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。例如:

123 Tianhe Road

Tianhe District

Guangzhou 510620

Guangdong Province

P. R. C.

Jan. 8, 2010

5.1.2 信内地址(Inside Address)

信内地址要写收信人的姓名和地址。在公务信件中要写明这一项,在私人信件中,这一项常常省略。该项写在写信日期下一行的左上角,格式与寄信人地址一样。

5.1.3 称呼(Salutation)

称呼是对收信人的称谓,应与左边线对齐,写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后,英国人常用逗号,美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字,但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如:

Dear Professor/Prof. Bergen:

Dear Dr. Johnson,

对不相识的人可按性别称呼:

Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: Dear Ladies。

如果不知收信人的性别则可用Dear Sir or Madam:

5.1.4 正文(Body of Letter)

正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是,英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语,再阐明写信的目的,而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的,然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求,并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时,应该直截了当,意思明确,层次清楚,言简意赅。

书信正文的第一句话或第一段,通常被称为起首语。一般说来,人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始,即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述,以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信,也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍,并表明自己写信的主要目的。

5.1.5 结尾礼词(Complimentary Close)

公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分:发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行,第一个字母要大写,套语结尾后面要加逗号。在公务信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:

Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Cordially yours, Yours cordially等。

私人信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:

Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。

5.1.6 签名(Signature)

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信,签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草,不易辨认,因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。

第二节 书信作文的出题形式和写作要领

1990年到2002年1月之间的四级考试作文题中,书信作文共出现两次(2001年6月和2002年1月)。下面,我们先来看看2001年6月四级考试的作文题:

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Zhang Ying. Write a letter to Xiao Wang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the week-long holiday. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:

1. 表示欢迎

2. 提出对度假安排的建议

3. 提醒应注意的事项

A Letter to a Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

 

 

.

Yours,

Zhang Ying

从上面的例子可见,书信作文不仅给出正文部分的内容的提纲,而且还给出书信各部分的结构的框架。也就是说,我们只要考虑如何表达提纲部分的内容,而不用考虑书信的结构。

在写书信作文时,首先要把书信正文的提纲内容细化,扩展成更细的英文提纲,然后用简洁、明了、礼貌、正确和得体的语言表达出细化了的提纲内容。例如前面的那封信就可以列出下面的提纲:

Topic: A Letter to a SchoolmateQuestion: What are the holiday arrangements and points for attention?

Outline:I. Extending my welcomeII. Holiday schedule1. 1st day – campus2. 2nd day – the art gallery & music hall3. 3rd day – mountain climbing4. next 3 days – other places of interest (Swan Cave, Golden Lake …)5. Last day -- departureIII. Points for attention1. Train number & time of arrival2. SunglassesIV. Looking forward to seeing you.Introduction Body 1Body 2Conclusion

范文:

A Letter to A Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

I’m very glad to learn that you’re going to visit me during the week-long holiday. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I am sure you will enjoy every minute here.

I have arranged our schedule for the holiday as follows. On the first day you arrive, I’ll show you around our campus. On the second day, we’ll visit the art gallery and the music hall. Next day, we’ll climb a hill in the northeastern part of the city. On the top of the hill, we can have a wonderful bird’s eye view of the city. During the next three days, we’ll make some short trips to some places of interest nearby, such as the Swan Cave, the Golden Lake, etc. On the last day, I’ll see you off at the railway station.

Please remember to call and tell me your train number and time of arrival so that I can meet you at the railway station. By the way, it’s very hot here and we have a lot of sunshine, so don’t forget to wear you sunglasses.

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Zhang Ying

写信日期称呼正文第一段:表示欢迎正文第2段:活动安排第一天的安排第二天的安排第三天的安排第4-6天的安排第七天:送行正文第三段(注意事项): 注意事项一注意事项二结束语结尾礼词签名

上面举的是私人信件的例子,下面我们再来看一封投诉信(Letter of Complaint)。

投诉信的目的是为了让收信人读信后同情你的遭遇,解决你所遇到的问题。所以写投诉信时应该实事求是地反映情况,注意措辞,不使用过多的讽刺或责备的语言,也不要因为发泄怒气而离题,以避免引起收信人的不信任或反感。

一般而言,投诉信包括以下内容:提出要求和理由;解释详细的情况;把请求具体化以及希望收信人采取行动的日期等。例如:

September 1, 2001

Dear Sir or Madam:

I’m writing to complain about a typewriter I bought seven months ago.

In February of 2001 I bought a Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model, at ABC Store, I had used it only a few days when the space bar broke.

I took it to a local shop, they told me it was factory defect and suggest I take it back to ABC. ABC accepted the machine and sent the part in. I waited three months, and since your company did not send a replacement, they let me have the space bar from another typewriter.

Now, six months later, it has broken again. I took it back to ABC. They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured me that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take.

I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter.

Respectfully,

(Signature)

James Bergen

写信日期 称呼正文第一段:表明写信的目的正文第二段:具体说明购买产品的时间、地点及出现的问题第三段:说明尝试的解决方法 第四段:说明尝试的解决方案无效,请求帮助结尾礼词签名打印的姓名

这是一封态度冷静、措辞有理、有节的投诉售后服务不周的信。由于这类信涉及经销商(厂家)和卖方,因此,投诉信中写明了以下详细的情况:

1) 购物的时间:In February of 2001

2) 购物地点: at ABC Store

3) 产品型号:Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model

4) 使用时间:I had used it only a few days;six months later

5) 主要问题:The space bar broke

6) 产生问题的原因:factory defect

7) 为什么向你方反映:

They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured us that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take. (商店已没有贵公司的打字机,但他们让我相信,保修卡仍有效,并建议我写信给贵公司以寻求解决办法)

此外,写信人还用了礼貌的结束语:

I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter. (贵公司在这件事上给我的任何帮助都将令我不胜感激)

小结:1)英文书信的结构;2)书信作文的出题形式;3)书信作文的写作要领。

下面我们进行写作练习。我将给大家一个作文题,请大家根据这一讲的内容,在30分钟内完成。大家在写作的过程中要注意审题,考虑文章的结构、采用的起首语和结束语等。

练习五:

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Xiao Li. Write a letter to Xiao Zhang, a roommate of yours who is a heavy smoker. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:

1. 吸烟已成为宿舍的一大问题

3. 建议戒烟

Dear Xiao Zhang,

Yours sincerely,

参考文章:

A Letter to a Roommate

March 16, 2002

Dear Xiao Zhang,

Recently I have noticed that you have been smoking heavily, which is becoming a serious problem. As long as you are in, our bedroom is filled with that terrible smell. The ashtray always overflows with cigarette butts.

Your are ruining your health, destroying brain cells which can never be replaced, not to mention the damage to your lungs and windpipes. Smoking, especially heavy smoking, correlates highly with lung cancer. It is possible that you'll be caught up with it. I'm not scaring you. Besides, smoking is also harmful to the health of our roommates and the friendship among us. The roommates avoid being in the bedroom for fear of being polluted. As a result, the brotherhood among roommates is gradually fading.

If I were you, I would try to get rid of the bad habit. It is not difficult to break away from it if you are really determined to quit. Remember 'Where there is a will, there is a way'. I will always be there to help, if you need.

Yours sincerely,

Xiao Li

3. 提醒应注意的事项

Zhang Ying

从上面的例子可见,书信作文不仅给出正文部分的内容的提纲,而且还给出书信各部分的构造的框架。也就是说,我们只要考虑如何表达提纲部分的内容,而不用考虑书信的构造。

在写书信作文时,首先要把书信正文的提纲内容细化,扩展成更细的英文提纲,然后用简洁、明了、礼貌、正确和得体的语言表达出细化了的提纲内容。例如前面的那封信就可以列出下面的提纲:Topic: A Letter to a SchoolmateQuestion: What are the holiday arrangements and points for attention?

2. 2nd day – the art gallery & music hall

书信是人们在日常生活和工作中进展交际的工具,也是高考书面表达中常见的考试文体。由于民族语言和习惯上的差异,英语信件在书写格式及表达方式上与汉语不大一样,有些地方迥然不同。本章将向大家介绍一般格式及各种常见信件,如家信、祝贺信、抱歉信及自荐信等。

一般格式

英文书信的构成可分为8个部分:

信头(Heading), 日期(Date), 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address), 称呼(Salutation), 信文(Body of the letter), 完毕语(Complimentary close), 署名(Signature), 附言(P. S.)

信头(Heading)

信头是指发信人的单位名称或地址。一般情况下发信人只需把自己的地址写(打字,手写均可)在信的右上角,离开信纸的顶头约1英寸,占二三行或四行均可,格式如下:①齐头式 ②缩进式

注意:写地址的次序与中文不同,应先写门牌号码街道,然后城市和国名。写地址时采用齐头或缩进式,以及每行后要不要加标点符号,都没有固定的规定。如写给经常往来的亲友,这项地址也可以省略。

日期(Date):

写日期注意以下各点:①年份应写全,例如不能用“99”来代替“1999”;②月份应写英文名称,除May, July外,可用缩写,如:Sep., Oct.。但不要用数字来代替,如7/4/99 或7, 4, 99,因为在英国此日期代表 7th April,1999,而美国那么代表4th July,1999。 ③日期可用1,2,3,4…11,12…21,22…31等,也可用lst,2nd,3rd,4th…11th,21th…22nd…31st等。

日期的几种写法:a.July 7,1998 b.1st October, 1998 c.30 Nov., 1997 d.Sep. 3rd, 1999 ④特别注意英文书信日期应紧接着写信人地址下一行,不能像写中文书信那样写在书信签名之后,这是很多学生的常见错误。

收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)

写信人的地址和日期写好以后,接着就要写收信人的姓名和地址,一般的事务信件或给较生疏的朋友的信件要写,而在给极熟的朋友的信中那么可省去。这一项写在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名写一行,收信人地址可分两行或三行写,和写信人的地址一样,上下可取齐,也可以向右缩进。在姓名前一般要加上称号,称号因人而异。

①对普通男子用Mr;②对未婚女子用Miss;③对已婚女子用Mrs,对婚姻状况不明确的通常用Ms(后跟本人姓);

④对男子用Master;⑤对教授或博士(医生)用Prof.或Dr.

称呼(Salutation)

称呼指的是信文开头的那种称呼,如Dear , Mr, Uncle,各种称呼因人而异。在称呼后面一般是用逗号,但也有用冒号的。现归纳如下:①对父母、兄弟、姐妹等;a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom,

②对亲戚:a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin,

③对朋友、同学a.My dear friend, b.Dear Mr Jackson, c.My dear Mr Jackson, d.Dear Sir,

以上英文书信构造8个部分在信内的位置如下:

假定你是英国学生(John),在上海二中学习,于6月1日给Babara写信,谈谈伦敦与上海的不同,100~120字,内容如下:

伦敦 上海

汽车靠左行 汽车靠右行

很多人乘汽车上班 多数人骑自行车上班

阴天多晴天多

一星期工作五天 一星期工作五天

懂汉语人少 懂英语的人多

学生较放松 学生较勤奋

参考词语

气候:climate

书信是人们在日常生活和工作中进展交际的工具。由于民族语言和习惯上的差异,英语信件在书写格式及表达方式上与汉语不大一样,有些地方迥然不同。英文书信分为两大类:公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间来往的书信,可能是推荐信、求职信、入学、邀请信,或询问、答复、反映意见(如投诉信)等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来,私人信件不拘形式,信文多用手写,也可打印;公务信件要求比较严格,必须遵循一定的格式,信文一定要打印。

一般格式

英文书信的构成可分为7个部分:

信头(Heading), 日期(Date), 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address), 称呼(Salutation), 信文(Body of the letter), 完毕语(Complimentary close), 署名(Signature)

信头(Heading)

信头是指发信人的单位名称或地址。一般情况下发信人只需把自己的地址写(打字,手写均可)在信的右上角,离开信纸的顶头约1英寸,占二三行或四行均可,格式如下:

① 齐头式

② 缩进式 私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。

Example: 123 Tianhe Road

Tianhe District

Guangzhou 510620

Guangdong Province

P. R. C.

Jan. 8, xx

日期(Date):

① 年份应写全,例如不能用“99”来代替“1999”;

② 月份应写英文名称,除May, July外,可用缩写,如:Sep., Oct.。但不要用数字

来代替,如7/4/99 或7, 4, 99,因为在英国此日期代表 7th April,1999,而美国那么代表4th July,1999。

③ 日期可用1,2,3,4…11,12…21,22…31等,也可用lst,2nd,3rd,4th…11th,

21th…22nd…31st等。

日期的几种写法:a.July 7,1998b.1st October, 1998

c.30 Nov., 1997d.Sep. 3rd, 1999

④特别注意英文书信日期应紧接着写信人地址下一行,不能像写中文书信那样写在书信签名之后。

收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)

写信人的地址和日期写好以后,接着就要写收信人的姓名和地址,一般的事务信件或给较生疏的朋友的信件要写,而在给极熟的朋友的信中那么可省去。这一项写在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名写一行,收信人地址可分两行或三行写,和写信人的地址一样,上下可取齐,也可以向右缩进。在姓名前一般要加上称号,称号因人而异。

①对普通男子用Mr;②对未婚女子用Miss;③对已婚女子用Mrs,对婚姻状况不明确的通常

用Ms(后跟本人姓);④对男子用Master;⑤对教授或博士(医生)用Prof.或Dr.

称呼(Salutation)

称呼指的是信文开头的那种称呼,如Dear , Mr, Uncle,各种称呼因人而异。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正下方,中间空一至二行。在称呼后面一般是用逗号,但也有用冒号的。现归纳如下:①对父母、兄弟、姐妹等;a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom,

②对亲戚:a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin,

③对朋友、同学a.My dear friend, b.Dear Mr Jackson, c.My dear Mr Jackson, d.Dear Sir,

④对未婚女子:a.Dear Miss Luce, b.My dear Miss Luce,

⑤对一般女子,不管是否结婚:a.Madame, b.Dear Madame,

⑥对已婚女子:a.Dear Mrs Helen Jackson, b.My dear Mrs Helen Jackson,

⑦对公司、工厂、学校等:a.Dear Sirs, b.Sirs, c.Gentlemen,

⑧如果不知收信人的性别

: Dear Sir or Madam

信文(Body of the letter)

信文是信件的主体部分,也就是信的内容。正文应在称呼下两行开始。信的开头第一个字母通常和称呼开头第一个词平齐。也有往后退四个或八个字母的。正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是,英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语,再说明写信的目的,而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的,然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求,并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时,应该直截了当,意思明确,层次清楚,言简意赅。 书信正文的第一句话或第一段,通常被称为起首语。一般说来,人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始,即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述,以便使对方一看便知该信是答复哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信,也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍,并说明自己写信的主要目的。

下面介绍一些开头语和结尾语。

开头语 ①相当于中文的“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相当于中文的“接读某月某日来信,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.

结尾语

采用三种方法:

①采用分词短语:句末用逗号,不用句号。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 suess,

h.Wishing you a pleasant journey,

i.Wishing you a happy New Year,

②采用介词短语,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 suess and happiness,

e.With best wishes for your suess in your new field of work,

f.With best regards and wishing you all suess,

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 suess.

完毕语(Complimentary Close)

结尾套语写在签名上面一行,第一个字母要大写,套语结尾后面要加逗号。

完毕语的一般写法如下:

① 业务书信常用:Yours faithfully, Faithfully yours, Yours truly, Truly yours, Sincerely yours,

② 公函常用:Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours sincerely,

③私人书信常用:Sincerely yours, Yours very sincerely, Yours affectionately, Yours ever,

④给亲戚朋友的信常用:Love, All my love, Your(ever)loving son/daughter/cousin , etc. Your affectionate nephew, lovingly, Lovingly yours,

署名(Signature)

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信,签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草,不易识别,因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。如果是用打字机或电脑写的信,在写信人签名的上方,同样应该打上写信人的姓名。

下面是署名的例子:

① 个人署名:truly, W. J. Watson ,Yours faithfully,

②公司署名:Legend Computer Company, Wang Lin ,Sales Manager

除以上七个部分外,有时一些英语书信还包括:

(1)附件 (Enclosure),以Enc. 表示,如“附有。。。。。。证明”应写为Enc…Certificate;

(2)附言(Postscript),以P.S. 表示;发信人有时在写完信后又想起一件比较重要的事没有说,可以在信末署名下面几行写上, P. S.,然后将要补充的话写上。不过要注意写信时最好将事情一次讲清楚,尽量少用或不用P.S.。

(3)抄送件(Carbon Copy to…),以c.c. 表示,说明一式多份抄送其他有关人员。这些都是次要的补充部分。

P.S. 主要在私人信件中使用,事务信件中应防止使用,以免造成写信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c. 大都用在商贸信函中。

信封(envelope)。英语的信封和中文的一样,有三部分组成,即发信人地址、收信人地址和邮票。只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置(信封的右上角)和中文的一样外,英语信封上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。发信人的地址应写在信封的左上角,收信人的地址应写在信封偏中右偏下处,如下:

2.书写款式

英语书信的款式一般有两种:齐头式 (Block Style) 和折衷式 (Semi-Block Style)。齐头式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用,以显示信件内容的严肃性,真实性, 可靠性。而折衷式那么显的比较随便,主要用于家人、朋友、私人之间来往的信件。如果两人

之间不是第一次通信,相互比较了解,可以省略信内的双方地址。

以下分别介绍齐头式和折衷式信件两种款式。

A: 齐头式信件款式:

注:用齐头式信件写信,其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。(转载于:.cSSyq.co m 书 业 网)每段的第一句句子不需要空

格,但段与段之间需要空一至二行。齐头式信件的信尾客套话和签名可以有两种款式。第一种写在左下方,这是最常用也是最正式的。另外也可以写在右下方,这种形式那么表示写信人与收信人之间的关系比较熟悉随便。下面是另一种齐头式信件的格式。

 

英文书信格式及范文

一、 英文书信的结构

二、 书信作文的出题形式和写作要领

三、 书信作文练习及其参考范文

书信是重要的交际工具。英文书信分为两大类:公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间来往的书信,可能是推荐信、求职信、入学申请书、邀请信,或询问、答复、反映意见(如投诉信)等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来,私人信件不拘形式,信文多用手写,也可打印;公务信件要求比较严格,必须遵循一定的格式,信文一定要打印。

第一节 英文书信的结构

英文书信一般由以下六部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。

5.1.1 信头(Heading)

信头是指发信人的地址和日期,通常写在第一页的右上角。行首可以齐头写,也可以逐行缩进写。地址的书写顺序由小到大:门牌号、街道、城市、省(州)、邮编、国名,最后写发信日期。私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。例如:

123 Tianhe Road

Tianhe District

Guangzhou 510620

Guangdong Province

P. R. C.

Jan. 8, 2010

5.1.2 信内地址(Inside Address)

信内地址要写收信人的姓名和地址。在公务信件中要写明这一项,在私人信件中,这一项常常省略。该项写在写信日期下一行的左上角,格式与寄信人地址一样。

5.1.3 称呼(Salutation)

称呼是对收信人的称谓,应与左边线对齐,写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后,英国人常用逗号,美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字,但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如:

Dear Professor/Prof. Bergen:

Dear Dr. Johnson,

对不相识的人可按性别称呼:

Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: Dear Ladies。

如果不知收信人的性别则可用Dear Sir or Madam:

5.1.4 正文(Body of Letter)

正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是,英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语,再阐明写信的目的,而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的,然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求,并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时,应该直截了当,意思明确,层次清楚,言简意赅。

书信正文的第一句话或第一段,通常被称为起首语。一般说来,人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始,即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述,以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信,也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍,并表明自己写信的主要目的。

5.1.5 结尾礼词(Complimentary Close)

公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分:发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行,第一个字母要大写,套语结尾后面要加逗号。在公务信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:

Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Cordially yours, Yours cordially等。

私人信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:

Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。

5.1.6 签名(Signature)

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信,签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草,不易辨认,因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。

第二节 书信作文的出题形式和写作要领

1990年到2002年1月之间的四级考试作文题中,书信作文共出现两次(2001年6月和2002年1月)。下面,我们先来看看2001年6月四级考试的作文题:

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Zhang Ying. Write a letter to Xiao Wang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the week-long holiday. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:

1. 表示欢迎

2. 提出对度假安排的建议

3. 提醒应注意的事项

A Letter to a Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

 

 

.

Yours,

Zhang Ying

从上面的例子可见,书信作文不仅给出正文部分的内容的提纲,而且还给出书信各部分的结构的框架。也就是说,我们只要考虑如何表达提纲部分的内容,而不用考虑书信的结构。

在写书信作文时,首先要把书信正文的提纲内容细化,扩展成更细的英文提纲,然后用简洁、明了、礼貌、正确和得体的语言表达出细化了的提纲内容。例如前面的那封信就可以列出下面的提纲:

Topic: A Letter to a SchoolmateQuestion: What are the holiday arrangements and points for attention?

Outline:I. Extending my welcomeII. Holiday schedule1. 1st day – campus2. 2nd day – the art gallery & music hall3. 3rd day – mountain climbing4. next 3 days – other places of interest (Swan Cave, Golden Lake …)5. Last day -- departureIII. Points for attention1. Train number & time of arrival2. SunglassesIV. Looking forward to seeing you.Introduction Body 1Body 2Conclusion

范文:

A Letter to A Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

I’m very glad to learn that you’re going to visit me during the week-long holiday. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I am sure you will enjoy every minute here.

I have arranged our schedule for the holiday as follows. On the first day you arrive, I’ll show you around our campus. On the second day, we’ll visit the art gallery and the music hall. Next day, we’ll climb a hill in the northeastern part of the city. On the top of the hill, we can have a wonderful bird’s eye view of the city. During the next three days, we’ll make some short trips to some places of interest nearby, such as the Swan Cave, the Golden Lake, etc. On the last day, I’ll see you off at the railway station.

Please remember to call and tell me your train number and time of arrival so that I can meet you at the railway station. By the way, it’s very hot here and we have a lot of sunshine, so don’t forget to wear you sunglasses.

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Zhang Ying

写信日期称呼正文第一段:表示欢迎正文第2段:活动安排第一天的安排第二天的安排第三天的安排第4-6天的安排第七天:送行正文第三段(注意事项): 注意事项一注意事项二结束语结尾礼词签名

上面举的是私人信件的例子,下面我们再来看一封投诉信(Letter of Complaint)。

投诉信的目的是为了让收信人读信后同情你的遭遇,解决你所遇到的问题。所以写投诉信时应该实事求是地反映情况,注意措辞,不使用过多的讽刺或责备的语言,也不要因为发泄怒气而离题,以避免引起收信人的不信任或反感。

一般而言,投诉信包括以下内容:提出要求和理由;解释详细的情况;把请求具体化以及希望收信人采取行动的日期等。例如:

September 1, 2001

Dear Sir or Madam:

I’m writing to complain about a typewriter I bought seven months ago.

In February of 2001 I bought a Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model, at ABC Store, I had used it only a few days when the space bar broke.

I took it to a local shop, they told me it was factory defect and suggest I take it back to ABC. ABC accepted the machine and sent the part in. I waited three months, and since your company did not send a replacement, they let me have the space bar from another typewriter.

Now, six months later, it has broken again. I took it back to ABC. They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured me that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take.

I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter.

Respectfully,

(Signature)

James Bergen

写信日期 称呼正文第一段:表明写信的目的正文第二段:具体说明购买产品的时间、地点及出现的问题第三段:说明尝试的解决方法 第四段:说明尝试的解决方案无效,请求帮助结尾礼词签名打印的姓名

这是一封态度冷静、措辞有理、有节的投诉售后服务不周的信。由于这类信涉及经销商(厂家)和卖方,因此,投诉信中写明了以下详细的情况:

1) 购物的时间:In February of 2001

2) 购物地点: at ABC Store

3) 产品型号:Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model

4) 使用时间:I had used it only a few days;six months later

5) 主要问题:The space bar broke

6) 产生问题的原因:factory defect

7) 为什么向你方反映:

They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured us that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take. (商店已没有贵公司的打字机,但他们让我相信,保修卡仍有效,并建议我写信给贵公司以寻求解决办法)

此外,写信人还用了礼貌的结束语:

I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter. (贵公司在这件事上给我的任何帮助都将令我不胜感激)

小结:1)英文书信的结构;2)书信作文的出题形式;3)书信作文的写作要领。

下面我们进行写作练习。我将给大家一个作文题,请大家根据这一讲的内容,在30分钟内完成。大家在写作的过程中要注意审题,考虑文章的结构、采用的起首语和结束语等。

练习五:

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Xiao Li. Write a letter to Xiao Zhang, a roommate of yours who is a heavy smoker. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:

1. 吸烟已成为宿舍的一大问题

参考文章:

A Letter to a Roommate

March 16, 2002

Dear Xiao Zhang,

Recently I have noticed that you have been smoking heavily, which is becoming a serious problem. As long as you are in, our bedroom is filled with that terrible smell. The ashtray always overflows with cigarette butts.

Your are ruining your health, destroying brain cells which can never be replaced, not to mention the damage to your lungs and windpipes. Smoking, especially heavy smoking, correlates highly with lung cancer. It is possible that you'll be caught up with it. I'm not scaring you. Besides, smoking is also harmful to the health of our roommates and the friendship among us. The roommates avoid being in the bedroom for fear of being polluted. As a result, the brotherhood among roommates is gradually fading.

If I were you, I would try to get rid of the bad habit. It is not difficult to break away from it if you are really determined to quit. Remember 'Where there is a will, there is a way'. I will always be there to help, if you need.

Yours sincerely,

Xiao Li

书信正文的第一句话或第一段,通常被称为起首语。一般说来,人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始,即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述,以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信,也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍,并表明自己写信的主要目的。

5.1.5 结尾礼词(Complimentary Close)

公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分:发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行,第一个字母要大写,套语结尾后面要加逗号。在公务信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:

Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Cordially yours, Yours cordially等。

私人信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:

Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。

5.1.6 签名(Signature)

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信,签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草,不易辨认,因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。

第二节 书信作文的出题形式和写作要领

1990年到2002年1月之间的四级考试作文题中,书信作文共出现两次(2001年6月和2002年1月)。下面,我们先来看看2001年6月四级考试的作文题:

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Zhang Ying. Write a letter to Xiao Wang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the week-long holiday. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:

1. 表示欢迎

2. 提出对度假安排的建议

3. 提醒应注意的事项

A Letter to a Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

 

 

.

Yours,

Zhang Ying

从上面的例子可见,书信作文不仅给出正文部分的内容的提纲,而且还给出书信各部分的结构的框架。也就是说,我们只要考虑如何表达提纲部分的内容,而不用考虑书信的结构。

在写书信作文时,首先要把书信正文的提纲内容细化,扩展成更细的英文提纲,然后用简洁、明了、礼貌、正确和得体的语言表达出细化了的提纲内容。例如前面的那封信就可以列出下面的提纲:

Topic: A Letter to a SchoolmateQuestion: What are the holiday arrangements and points for attention?

Outline:

I. Extending my welcome

II. Holiday schedule

1. 1st day – campus

2. 2nd day – the art gallery & music hall

3. 3rd day – mountain climbing4. next 3 days – other places of interest (Swan Cave, Golden Lake …)

5. Last day – departure

III. Points for attention

1. Train number & time of arrival

2. Sunglasses

IV. Looking forward to seeing you.

2 Conclusion

范文:

A Letter to A Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

I’m very glad to learn that you’re going to visit me during the week-long holiday. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I am sure you will enjoy every minute here.

I have arranged our schedule for the holiday as follows. On the first day you arrive, I’ll show you around our campus. On the second day, we’ll visit the art gallery and the music hall. Next day, we’ll climb a hill in the northeastern part of the city. On the top of the hill, we can have a wonderful bird’s eye view of the city. During the next three days, we’ll make some short trips to some places of interest nearby, such as the Swan Cave, the Golden Lake, etc. On the last day, I’ll see you off at the railway station.

Please remember to call and tell me your train number and time of arrival so that I can meet you at the railway station. By the way, it’s very hot here and we have a lot of sunshine, so don’t forget to wear you sunglasses.

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Zhang Ying

上面举的是私人信件的例子,下面我们再来看一封投诉信(Letter of Complaint)。

投诉信的目的是为了让收信人读信后同情你的遭遇,解决你所遇到的问题。所以写投诉信时应该实事求是地反映情况,注意措辞,不使用过多的讽刺或责备的语言,也不要因为发泄怒气而离题,以避免引起收信人的不信任或反感。

一般而言,投诉信包括以下内容:提出要求和理由;解释详细的情况;把请求具体化以及希望收信人采取行动的日期等。例如:

September 1, 2001

Dear Sir or Madam:

I’m writing to complain about a typewriter I bought seven months ago.

In February of 2001 I bought a Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model, at ABC Store, I had used it only a few days when the space bar broke.

I took it to a local shop, they told me it was factory defect and suggest I take it back to ABC. ABC accepted the machine and sent the part in. I waited three months, and since your company did not send a replacement, they let me have the space bar from another typewriter.

Now, six months later, it has broken again. I took it back to ABC. They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured me that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take.

I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter.

Respectfully,

(Signature)

James Bergen

写信日期 称呼正文第一段:表明写信的目的正文第二段:具体说明购买产品的时间、地点及出现的问题第三段:说明尝试的解决方法 第四段:说明尝试的解决方案无效,请求帮助结尾礼词签名打印的姓名

这是一封态度冷静、措辞有理、有节的投诉售后服务不周的信。由于这类信涉及经销商(厂家)和卖方,因此,投诉信中写明了以下详细的情况:

1) 购物的时间:In February of 2001

2) 购物地点: at ABC Store

3) 产品型号:Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model

4) 使用时间:I had used it only a few days;six months later

5) 主要问题:The space bar broke

6) 产生问题的原因:factory defect

7) 为什么向你方反映:

They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured us that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take. (商店已没有贵公司的打字机,但他们让我相信,保修卡仍有效,并建议我写信给贵公司以寻求解决办法)

此外,写信人还用了礼貌的结束语:

I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter. (贵公司在这件事上给我的任何帮助都将令我不胜感激)

小结:1)英文书信的结构;2)书信作文的出题形式;3)书信作文的写作要领。

下面我们进行写作练习。我将给大家一个作文题,请大家根据这一讲的内容,在30分钟内完成。大家在写作的过程中要注意审题,考虑文章的结构、采用的起首语和结束语等。

练习五:

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Xiao Li. Write a letter to Xiao Zhang, a roommate of yours who is a heavy smoker. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:

1. 吸烟已成为宿舍的一大问题

Dear Xiao Zhang,

Yours sincerely,

Xiao Li

参考文章:

A Letter to a Roommate

March 16, 2002

Dear Xiao Zhang,

Recently I have noticed that you have been smoking heavily, which is becoming a serious problem. As long as you are in, our bedroom is filled with that terrible smell. The ashtray always overflows with cigarette butts.

Your are ruining your health, destroying brain cells which can never be replaced, not to mention the damage to your lungs and windpipes. Smoking, especially heavy smoking, correlates highly with lung cancer. It is possible that you'll be caught up with it. I'm not scaring you. Besides, smoking is also harmful to the health of our roommates and the friendship among us. The roommates avoid being in the bedroom for fear of being polluted. As a result, the brotherhood among roommates is gradually fading.

If I were you, I would try to get rid of the bad habit. It is not difficult to break away from it if you are really determined to quit. Remember 'Where there is a will, there is a way'. I will always be there to help, if you need.

Yours sincerely,

Xiao Li

英文书信格式及例文

(一) 英文书信的组成部分

英文书信一般由六部分组成。即:信头(Heading)、信内地址(Inside Address),

称呼(Salutation),正文(Body of Letter)、结束语(Complimentary Close)、署名(Signature),

有时在书信后面还有附言(Postscript)、附件(Enclosure),这得视具体情况而定。下面将分别说明。

1. 信头(Heading)

信头是指写信人的地址和写信日期, 一般写在或打在第一面信纸的右上角,先写地址再写日期,地址的写法是从小到大,先写门牌号、路号,再写区名、市名、省名,最后写国名。时间的写法对英国人和美国人而言是不同的。英国人习惯按日、月、年的顺序写,

而美国人习惯按月、日、年的顺序写。例如:

英式:1st October,1999

美式:October 1,1999

在使用前一种形式时,月和年之间的逗号可用可不用,但是在后一种形式中,必需要使用逗号。

信头的写法有缩进式和齐头式。缩进式每行开头向右缩进一两个字母;齐头式左边对齐排列,如下所示:

缩进式

Wang Ming

Dept. of Chemical Engineering

Dalian University of Technology

Dalian 116023

Liaoning Province

P. R. China

齐头式

Wang Ming

Dept. of Chemical Engineering

Dalian University of Technology

Dalian 116023

Liaoning Province

P. R. China

2. 信内地址 (Inside Address)

信内地址要写出收信人的姓名和地址。一般给比较生疏的亲友的信和公事信件要写出信内地址,而熟悉朋友可以省去这一步骤。信内地址写出在日期下一两行的左上角,第一行写收信人的称呼姓名,然后写出地址。地质也是从小到大写出,分缩进式和齐头式两种。例如:

缩进式

The President

Oxford University

England

齐头式

Jiang Bin

64Heping Road

P.R.China

3.称呼(Salutation)

称呼是对收信人的称谓。在信内地址下一两行处顶格写起,自成一行。末尾用逗号或冒号。

(1)当给一位熟悉的人写信时可以用Dear 或是My Dear。在英国,My Dear 比Dear亲切,而在美国,Dear比My Dear 亲切。

(2)当给一位你不知婚否的女性写信时,可以用Ms.……,这是指"……女士"。

(3)在给不熟悉的人写信时,可以用Dear sir, Dear Madam, Dear sirs, Gentleman 等等。

4正文(Body of Letter)

正文是一封信的主体部分。通常在称呼的下一行写出。正文也可采用齐头式或缩进式的方法。齐头式是反映每段开头一行和后面行并齐。缩进式是指每段的第一行向右缩进几个字母。信笺讲究简洁、效率。开头几句简单地寒暄后就不如正题,在结尾处要有祝愿和敬语。

常用的开头语有:

I have received your letter of July Ist. 7月1 日来信已经收悉。

I have the pleasure to tell you that …….很高兴告诉你……。

I am very much delighted to receive your letter. 非常高兴收到你的来信。

It is my honor to inform you that ……很荣幸告诉你……。

常用的结束套话有:

I am looking forward to hearing from you 盼早日回信。

Wish best regards. 祝好。

Thank you for your help 感谢你的帮助!

Wish my best wishes for your success. 祝你成功。

Wishing you a happy holiday. 祝假日愉快!

Hoping to hear from you soon. 希望能尽快收到你的回信。

5结束语(Complimentary Close)

结束语在正文之后隔一两行的偏右方开始写出。开头字母用大写,以后的字母用小写,最后一个词后面用逗句。

常用的结束语有:

一般非正式的关系:

Yours sincerely,

Yours truly,

Yours faithfully,

Most sincerely,

Faithfully yours,

亲密的关系:

Love,

Yours love,

Yours Affectionately,

With love,

Lovingly yours,

Yours ever,

上级和长者:

Yours respectfully,

Faithfully yours,

6署名(Signature)

在结束语的下方是签名,先手写出,再打出来。如果收信人不认识写出信人,可以在署名前用括号标出Mr.、Miss或Ms。在名称下面可注上头衔。如:

Yours sincerely,

Lucy Blake (手写)

Lucy Blake (Miss)(打印)

Sales Manager

7附言(Postscript),附件(Enclosure)

在信件正文写作时可能漏掉了某些事,或临时发生了某事需要补充时,可以在信下面左下方写出上P.S.

如果随信有附件可在爱左下端注明。如:

Enclosure:1.Invoice(发票)

2.Resume(个人简历)

(二)英文书信实例

上面介绍了英文写信的主要组成部分以及各部分的写作特点,接下来我们将提供五种英文书信的范例。

1祝贺信

当朋友有了喜事,如结婚、高升、获奖的时候,你可以向他写出一封祝贺信,表达你的嘱咐与恭贺。

英文书信格式及范例大汇总

英文书信结构要素  

(1 )信头(Letterhead)。 

信头包括发信人的地址和发信日期。很多人不太注意保留信封,在信内的打上发信人地址就方便收信人回信。如果使用已经印好信头的信纸,就只要打上发信日期。信头位于信的最上方,原则上首先按从小到大的顺序(正好与中文书信相反),门牌号码和街名或单位名占一行(太长可占两行),城镇名和邮政编码占一行,国名占一行。然后是发信日期,它是信头的最后一行,可以写成日月年(英式)也可写成月日年(美式),如:May8,1996或8May,1996. 必然说明的是,月份要写英文名称,否则有可能产生歧义,如5/8/1996,美国人会理解为1996年5 月8 日,而英国人则理解为1996年8 月5 日。 

(2 )封内地址(Inside Address)。  

封内地址包括收信人的姓名和地址。封内地址必须和信封地址一致,否则就是出了差错,收信人此时可将信退回或按封内地址转寄。封内地址的第一行是收信人姓名,第二行职务,从第三行开始写收信人地址,写出法原则上和写发信人地址一样。 

(3 )称呼(Salutation)。 

称呼应与亲近程度相吻合。最为正式的也是最不亲近的称呼为Dear Sir(英国用)或Dear Genteman (美国用),一般用于给政府机关、官员的公函中,或用于首次往来的商业书信中。比较熟识的人由应称他的姓,最随便也是最亲近的称呼是直呼其名,一般用于亲朋好友,但应注意,称姓时只称姓,不要又称名,而称名时不要加Dr或Mr. 如某人全名为William.另外,如果对方为女性却不知应称Mrs.还是Miss时可称Ms. 。称呼后面的标点英国人习惯用逗号,而美国人习惯用冒号(亲朋好友之间可用逗号)。 

(4 )正文(Body)。 

正文是信的主体,和中文书信的要求一样,正文的内容要主题突了出、层次清楚、语言简洁、表达准确。如果正文很长需要几张信纸联页时,则应在每张联页左上端都注明页数和收信人名称,如:Mr.WilliamJ.Hall 

(5 )结束语(Complimentary Close)。 

结束语是习惯的客套用语,它必须和前面的称呼遥相呼应。如果前面称Dear Sir,则应选择下列结束语:Very simcerely yours ,Vedry respecrfully yours,Very truly yours ,Sincerely yours 或Yours sincedrely,Respe-crfullky yours 或Yours respecrfullyFaithfully yours 或 Yours faith-fully.如果前面称姓,则应选择下列是结束语:Sincerely yours 或Yours sincerely ,Truly yours 或Yokkurs truly ,Yours ever. 如果前面称名,则表示写信人与收信人的关系亲近友好,应选择下列结束语:SincerelyYours,Love,All my love. 

(6 )签名和发信人姓名(Signaturd and Name Addresser)。  

签名因为是亲笔手写,可能不好辩认,因此必须还要打印出来。签名只需签姓名,不需加Mr. 或Mrs.,以及学位头衔等,但打印姓名时,因为中文名没有性别之分,所以中文拼音名前就加Mr.或Mrs.,Miss.,Ms.,以便收信人辨认,英文名男性不必加Mr.,但女性要加Mrs.,Miss.,Ms. ,打印名后面可加学位头衔等。 

一封完整的英文书信必须依序包含上述六个要素。如果信件有附件并有必要提醒收信人,可在第六个要素之后加上附件注记(Enclosure 或Encl.)。如果整封信写好后又发现遗漏了什么,可在附件注记之后加上又启(Postscript)或其缩写(P.S.)进行补充。

1)写信人的姓名、地址写在信封正面的左上角。 

2)收信人的姓名、地址写在信封正面中央稍偏右的地方。 

3)邮票贴在信封的右上角。 

4)地址的写法是先写收信人或寄信人的姓名,然后按照从小到大顺序依次写出门牌号、街道、城市、省 或州名、邮编,最后写国名。 

5)收信人名前应根据需要加:Mr(先生)、Mrs(太太、夫人)、Miss(小姐)、Ms(女士,已婚或  未婚均可)、Dr(博士)、Prof(教授)等称呼,以示礼貌。有些中国学生给老师写信常用"teacher"作为称呼,这种用法不正确。在英语中"teacher"就跟"worker,driver,farmer"等一 样是一种职业,不能作为称呼。男老师我们可以用Mr,女老师我们用Mrs、Miss或Ms作为称呼。 

II.信文的格式 

1)把寄信人的地址和日期(简称"信头")写在信纸的右上角。地址的写法同信封。 

2)把收信人的姓名、地址(简称"内地址")写在寄信人地址和日期的左下方,即信纸的左边,低寄信人 日期一至二行处。私人信件此项内容可以不写。 

3)把称呼写在收信人姓名、地址下面,相距一行处。称呼一般以"Dear…"开头,后面用逗号。如无"内 地址",可以把称呼向上顺移。 

4)书信正文从称呼下一行的3至5个字母开始。 

5)如同汉语信一样,英文信的结尾也常写有"祝好"、"盼来信"、"代向……问好"之类的话,我们称之为"结束语"。 

6)在信的结尾下面签上自己的姓名。除了对熟人或亲密的人以外,签名必须写全姓名,而且不管什么信件,都应由写信人亲笔签名。

英文书信格式及范例大汇总(二)

各类信件(Letters)

英语信件的种类比较多,有一般信件,邀请信,推荐信等。但几乎所有信件的格式都大同小异。书写英语信件要注意下面几点:

(一) 英语书信结构、书写款式及要求:

1.书信结构

  英语书信结构一般有以下几个部分组成:

1)信封(envelope)。英语的信封和中文的一样,有三部分组成,即发信人地址、收信人地址和邮票。只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置(信封的右上角)和中文的一样外,英语信封上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。发信人的地址应写在信封的左上角,收信人的地址应写在信封偏中右偏下处,如下:

Liu Yan-hua

Room 302, No. 48, Yanan Road (M) stamp

Shanghai, 20040

P. R. China

Prof. John Hill

607 North Willington Avenue

West Palm Beach, Florida 33404

U. S. A.

2)信头 (heading),即写发信人的地址和日期(右上角)。

3)信内姓名地址 (inside address),即写收信人的姓名和地址(左上角)。

4) 称呼 (salutation),即写对收信人的尊称(一般用Dear Mr. … ,; Dear Madam Helen,; Dear Miss…,; Dear John,; Dear Professor Smith,等)。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正下方,中间空一至二行。称呼后面的标点一般只能用逗号。以上信头、信内姓名和地址三部分的结构如下:

Liu Yan-hua

Room 302, No 48, Yanan Road (M)

Shanghai 200040

P. R. China

June 22, 2002

Prof. John Hill 607  

North Willington Avenue  

West Palm Beach, Florida 33404  

U. S. A.  

Dear Professor Hill,

 

 

 

  注:如果是相当熟悉和随便的朋友之间,因为彼此都知道对方的地址,故信头和信内的地址常常省略。

5)正文 (body),即信件内的主要内容。正文第一句句子一般和称呼之间空一至二行。

6)信尾客套语 (complimentary close),即写信人在信的右(或左)下角,写上表示自己对收

信人一种礼貌客气的谦称。一般有Sincerely,; Sincerely yours,; Yours sincerely,; Friendly

yours,; Truly yours,; Yours truly,; Cordially yours,; Yours cordially,等。

7)信尾签名 (signature),即亲笔签上写信人自己的姓名。如果是用打字机或电脑写的信,在写信人签名的上方,同样应该打上写信人的姓名。

  除以上七个部分外,有时一些英语书信还包括:(1)附件 (Enclosure),以Enc. 表示,如“附有。。。。。。证明”应写为Enc…Certificate;(2)再启 (Postscript),以P.S. 表示;(3)抄送件(Carbon Copy to…),以c.c. 表示,说明一式多份抄送其他有关人员。这些都是次要的补充部分。P.S. 主要在私人信件中使用,事务信件中应避免使用,以免造成写信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c. 大都用在商贸信函中。

2.书写款式

  英语书信的款式一般有两种:齐头式 (Block Style) 和折衷式 (Semi-Block Style)。齐头式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用,以显示信件内容的严肃性,真实性,

可靠性。而折衷式则显的比较随便,主要用于家人、朋友、私人之间来往的信件。如果两人之间不是第一次通信,相互比较了解,可以省略信内的双方地址。

  以下分别介绍齐头式和折衷式信件两种款式。

A: 齐头式信件款式:

December 22, 2002

Dear Mr. Ken,

I arrived at Shanghai yesterday afternoon. My wife and my daughter met me at the airport. They were very much glad that I could come back just before Christmas and the new year’s day. On our way home, I told them a lot about my stay in America, until now they are always encouraging me to tell them some interesting incidents and exciting experiences that I encountered in the State. You know they have never been abroad, and therefore everything may seem strange to them. It is even extremely incredible for them to know that every day we took half an hour drive for our lunch, which is quite natural for ordinary people.

My wife and daughter want me to thank you for your gifts to them. My daughter loves the toy dog very much, and she always holds it even when she is sleeping. My wife loves the purse. She feels so proud of owning it, speaks so highly of its quality that she shows it to all her friends.

Anyway, I’m much obliged to you for your hospitality during my stay there, and to your wife, Catherine, especially. She is really a nice young lady, who is kind, frank and generous. With her guidance and instructions, I could visit some places that I had been longing for, find some important materials and learn something in detail about American culture. Meanwhile, I would thank your colleagues for their tremendous help, without which it would have been impossible for me to cope with everything.

I won’t come to my office until January 6. We will inform you of our decision about the contract as soon as possible.

Please remember me to your wife and two daughters.

Sincerely yours,

Zhou Yan-wen

Dear Mike,

  Your letter and package reached me yesterday. You really give me a great surprise.

Thank you very much for your kindness, and I like the present, which will give me pleasure for a long time to come.

  Again it is thoughtful of you to send me the present on my birthday. Yesterday evening my colleagues held a birthday party for me, including John Liu---I think you can remember---a nice tall boy, who invited you and I to his birthday last October. We enjoyed ourselves, and all of us mentioned your stay with us. We hope that you will come to China soon, if possible.

Dear Sun Yong-kang:

  Your letter eventually followed me to my new address (above). I’m afraid I can’t be of much specific help to you. I am, however, sending you a directory of physics programs in the U.S. On pp. 178 – 180 are programs leading to a Master’s or Ph.D. My suggestion is to look over the program descriptions and then to write directly to the addresses given if any look appropriate. Stress that you need financial aid.

  I wouldn’t worry too much about your English. Your academic background seems strong.

Good Luck,

Harvey Nadler

Dear Jacques,

  I’m writing to you because we’ve been having a bit of trouble with one of our suppliers who makes the lightweight batteries we use to power our vehicles. I’m pretty sure you don’t have a local distributor of your products in this country, which is why I’m writing to you direct to se if you can help us out. I did try to call, but you weren’t available.

  I’m sending some copies of our technical brochures to that you can see what we need. Here’s the specification:

Polymeric Batteries

Maximum Size:   Height: 200mm   Depth: 200mm   Width: 300mm

Maximum Weight:   5kg

Output:   1000 watts @ 12 volts

Rechargeable life at full power:   8 hours

Labels:

Each unit should bear a label giving:

The output of the battery, its month and year of manufacture, your own company’s name and country, a product code number and a unique unit number

Quantity:   4,800 units

Delivery:   by 15 September 2002

  I’d appreciate it if you could quote us your best CIF price, giving a full specification of your product and shipping date. Of course our technical department would need to have some samples of the batteries to test in our laboratories before we could place a firm order.

We usually deal with new suppliers on the basis of payment in our currency by confirmed irrevocable Letter of Credit.

  Assuming the laboratory tests go well, and you can quote us a competitive price, we’d certainly be able to place more substantial orders on a regular basis.

  I’ll be out of the office for a couple of weeks from tomorrow. In the meantime, do get in touch with one of my assistants Mr. Cloud and Mrs. Lewis if you need any more information.

  Looking forward to hearing from you.

  Giving my best regards to Jeanne and the kids.

  Best wishes,

Dear Sir,

I am an assistant teacher of English at East-China Normal University. Now I am writing to you to apply for admission to your department majoring in TESL.

From 1996 to 2000 I studied in Foreign Languages Department, East-China Normal University. After graduation, I stayed in my department as an assistant, teaching the courses of English Grammar and Intensive Reading. As a young teacher, I am looking forward to getting a chance to have a further study in English-speaking countries in order to improve my English, and my ability to teach the language as well. Knowing that your department offers M.A. in TESL, I, therefore, sincerely hope that I can have the opportunity to study in your department.

During the past three years of my teaching, I have become interested in TESL Reading, Grammar Usage, and Language Acquisition, which may have a close relationship with the required courses you offer. In addition, I have published several papers in these fields (refer to my resume).

Enclosed are my application materials. Please feel free to inform me if you have any question and need some other information. It would be very kind of you if you can take my application into a serious consideration.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

To Whom It May Concern,

  I am delighted to write this recommendation letter for Ms. Ma Yan, a brilliant student of mine, who has applied to your University for admission to graduate program of International Business in the coming fall semester 2002.

  In the academic year 1997 – 2001, Ms. Ma Yan was in the class on International Finance and Foreign Trade Business under my instruction. Needless to say, the two courses demand prior study of, among other things, the English language. Ms. Ma Yan’s performance in my class was quite outstanding. From discussions, assignments and terminal exams, I could see that she had acquired extensive knowledge in the conduct of International Finance as well as Foreign Trade Business.

  As far as I know, Ms. Ma Yan has been highly successful in almost all the major courses she has taken in our Department. This demonstrates her superior scholastic capacity and her potential for further academic growth.   As to her character and personality, in my personal opinion, she is indeed a courteous, pleasant and ambitious young lady. Furthermore, she has a warm personality with emotional maturity. With this good character, I would say that she will be able to get well along with people of different nationalities.

  Considering her a student of high potential, I recommend her most enthusiastically. Your assistance and kind consideration of her application will be highly appreciated.

  If further information about her is required, please do not hesitate to let me know.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

英文书信格式

 

书信是人们进行思想交流的重要工具。英文书信与中文书信在格式上差异很大。英文书信通常由六个部分组成,它们是信头( heading )、信内地址( inside address )、称呼( salutation )、信的正文( body of letter )、结束语( complementary close )、签名( signature )。  

书信格式 

1 .信头。指发信人的地址和日期。从信纸的上端中央往右写。第一行写单位名称,第二行写门牌号和路名,第三行写市名、省名、国名,第四行写发信日期。学生写信时第一行写班级名称,第二行写系科名称,第三行写学校名称,第四行写市、省名称,第五行写国家名称,第六行写发信日期。如果是国内信件,国名可以不写。要特别注意英文地址写法顺序是从小单位到大单位。日期的写法有美英之分。英国的写法是:日,月,年,如 10th of October , 2002 。美国的写法是:月,日,年,如 October 10 , 2002 。例如: 

Xiangyang Middle School (向阳中学) 

No . 120 , Xinhua Road (新华路 120 号) 

Cangzhou , Hebei Province 061001 (沧州市河北省 061001 ) 

P . R . of China (中华人民共和国) 

October 20 , 2002 ( 2002 年 10 月 20 日) 

2 .信内地址。指收信人的姓名和地址。低于信头 1 — 2 行,从左边开始写。第一行写姓名、头衔,第二行写单位名称,第三行写门牌号及路名,第四行写市、省名称,第五行写国名。写往学校的信,第一行写姓名、头衔,第二行写系科名称,第三行写学校名称,第四行写市名、省名及邮政编码,第五行写国名。商业往来信件及公函必须写信头和信内地址。亲友、熟人之间的信可以不写信内地址,信头处写发信日期就行了。它与信封上收信人姓名、地址完全一样。 

3 .称呼。就是对收信人的称呼。信内地址下隔一、二行写称呼,其左侧与信内地址第一行对齐,称呼后面一般用逗号,但正式函件称呼后多用冒号。对不相识的男子,单数常用 Sir , Dear Sir ,或 My Dear Sir ;复数常用 Dear Sirs 或 Gentlemen 。对不相识的女子,单数常用 Madam , Dear Madam ,或 My Dear Madam ;复数常用 Madams 或 My Dear Madams 。对比较熟识的男子,普通称 Dear Mr ...即可。对比较熟识的女性,普通称 Dear Mrs (或 Miss )...即可。 

4 .正文。是书信的主要部分,一般从称呼下方隔一至两行处开始写正文。每段的第一个字母一般要缩进 3 — 5 个字母的空格。正文的内容要表达清楚,语言要简单明了,态度要诚恳礼貌。如果信中涉及的事情不多,可以一段到底,如果要讲的事情多,则可以分成几段,段与段之间常隔 1 — 2 行。 

5 .结束语。是写信人对收信人的谦称,写在正文的下面 2 — 3 行处,从信纸中央偏右的地方写起,一般用 Yours (第一个字母大写)。若是亲戚(包括家人),可以写 Your loving son / sister / brother / daughter 等之类的表达法,若是对朋友,可以写 Your friend ;若是对老师,可以写 Your student 。 

6 .签名。一般写在结束语之下。 

二、信封 

   英文信封的写法与汉语不同。收信人的姓名及地址应写在信封中下部,且先写姓名后写地址。寄信人的姓名及地址应写在信封的左上角,若是普通书信,也可写在信封背面。邮票贴在信封的右上角。在信封上常见的附加说明有“ Urgent (急件), Express (快件), Registered ( Regd )(挂号信), Airm ail (航空信)等”,要根据实际情况选用。 

三、信件结尾常用语 

Tom joins me in sending all good wishes to you and your family . 

我和汤姆祝福你们全家。 

I imagine we’ll see you again , so I’ll end for now. 

我想我们很快就会见面的,就写到这儿吧。 

Please remember me to your whole family.

英文书信格式

 

英文书信是一种最常用的应用文体,对于普通的私人信件通常由五部分组成:  

1.信头:指发信人的地址和日期。写在信纸的右上角,可以从靠近信纸的中央写起。信头上面要留空白。先写发信人地址。地址的写法与汉语不同,要先写小地方,后写大地方。在地址的下面写上日期。日期的顺序是:月、日、年,或者:日、月、年。例如:May 17  2003。在年份之前有一个逗号。  

2.称呼:指对收信人的称呼。写在信头之下,从信纸的左边开始。写信给熟悉的人,一般用Dear…或My dear…作称呼。如:Dear Li Lei,Dear Miss Thomas或My dear Dad.  

3.信的正文:指信的主体部分。从称呼的下一行第一段顶边写。从第二段起每段第一个词都缩进3或5个字母写。  

4.结束语:指正文下面的结尾客套话。一般从信纸的中央靠右写起,第一个字母大写,末尾用一逗号。在非正式的社交信中,常用Yours或Sincerely。假如对方是亲密的朋友,可用Sincerely yours Yours等。  

5.签名:指发信人签名。写在结束语的下面,稍偏右。  

另外,英文信封写法与汉语的不同。一般把收信人的地址写在信封的中央或偏右下角。第一行写姓名,下面写地址。发信人的姓名和地址写在信封的左上角,也可以写在信的背面。  

英文书信的格式

1、 信头(Heading)  

指发信人的姓名(单位名称)、地址和日期,一般写在信纸的右上角。一般公函或商业信函的信纸上都印有单位或公司的名称、地址、电话号码等,因此就只需在信头下面的右边写上写信日期就可以了。 英文地址的写法与中文完全不同,地址的名称按从小到大的顺序:第一行写门牌号码和街名;第二行写县、市、省、州、邮编、国名;然后再写日期。标点符号一般在每一行的末尾都不用,但在每一行的之间,该用的还要用,例如在写日期的时候。  

2、 日期的写法:  

如:1997年7月30日,英文为:July 30,1997(最为普遍); July 30th,1997;  

30th July,1997等。1997不可写成97。  

3、 信内地址(Inside Address):  

在一般的社交信中,信内收信人的地址通常省略,但是在公务信函中不能。将收信人的姓名、地址等写在信头日期下方的左角上,要求与对信头的要求一样,不必再写日期。  

4、 称呼(Salutation):  

是写信人对收信人的称呼用语。位置在信内地址下方一、二行的地方,从该行的顶格写起,在称呼后面一般用逗号(英国式),也可以用冒号(美国式)。  

(1)写给亲人、亲戚和关系密切的朋友时,用Dear或My dear再加上表示亲属关系的称呼或直称其名(这里指名字,不是姓氏)。例如:My dear father,Dear Tom等。  

(2)写给公务上的信函用Dear Madam,Dear Sir或Gentleman(Gentlemen)。注意:Dear纯属公务上往来的客气形式。Gentlemen总是以复数形式出现,前不加Dear,是Dear Sir的复数形式。  

(3)写给收信人的信,也可用头衔、职位、职称、学位等再加姓氏或姓氏和名字。例如:Dear Prof. Tim Scales, Dear Dr.John Smith。  

5、 正文(Body of the Letter):  

位置在下面称呼语隔一行,是信的核心部分。因此要求正文层次分明、简单易懂。和中文信不 同的是,正文中一般不用Hello!(你好!)正文有缩进式和齐头式两种。每段书信第一行的第一个字母稍微向右缩进些,通常以五个字母为宜,每段第二行从左面顶格写起,这就是缩进式。但美国人写信各段落往往不用缩进式,用齐头式,即每一行都从左面顶格写起。商务信件大都采用齐头式的写法。  

6、 结束语(Complimentary Close):  

在正文下面的一、二行处,从信纸的中间偏右处开始,第一个词开头要大写,句末用逗号。不同的对象,结束语的写法也不同。  

(1)写给家人、亲戚,用Your loving grandfather,Lovingly yours,Lovingly等;  

(2)写给熟人、朋友,用Yours cordially,Yours affectionately等;  

(3)写业务信函用Truely yours(Yours truely),Faithfully yours(Yours faithfully)等;  

(4)对上级、长辈用Yours obediently(Obediently yours),Yours respectfully(Respectfully yours)等。  

7、 签名(Signature) :  

低于结束语一至二行,从信纸中间偏右的地方开始,在结束语的正下方,在签完名字的下面还要有用打字机打出的名字,以便识别。职务、职称可打在名字的下面。当然,写给亲朋好友的信,就不必再打了。  

8、 附言(Postscript) :  

一封信写完了,突然又想起遗漏的事情,这时用P.S.表示,再写上遗漏的话即可,要长话短说。通常在信末签名下面几行的左方,应于正文齐头。  

注意:在正式的信函中,应避免使用附言。  

9、 附件(Enclosure) :  

信件如果有附件,可在信纸的左下角,注上Encl:或Enc:  

例如:Encl:2 photos(内附两张照片)。如果福建附件不止一项,应写成Encl:或Encs。  

我们有时可看到在称呼与正文之间有Re:或Subject:(事由)字样。一般在信纸的中间,也可与“称呼”对齐。还应在底下加横线,以引起读信人的注意,使收信人便于在读信之前就可了解信中的主要内容。事由一般在公务信函中使用,也可以省略。  

英文书信的格式及信封的写法

 

1、信纸的右上角写上日期,如September 8,也常用简写Sep. 8;非正式的信件,年代常省略;正式的书信则不只会写上年代,还会把发信者的住址写在日期的上方。  

2、接下来在信纸的左方写收信人的称呼语,通常用Dear开始,再接着写名字(一般都用first name ),如Dear Susan (亲爱的苏珊);至于名字的后面则通常打上逗号或留白。  

3、称呼语写完后,通常会先空一行才开始写信的本文。  

4、本文结束后,再写上结尾语,如See you (再见)、( With) Best wishes(祝你平安)、Yours always (永远是你的挚爱)、Yours ever (永远爱你的)、Your friend (你的友人)、Truly yours (挚友)、Sincerely yours或Yours sincerely或Sincerely (最诚挚的友人)、Love (爱人,避免用在两个男士间的信件)…等。  

注意:  

(1)结尾语的第一个字母要大写,最后还要加上逗点。  

(2)若要针对收信的对象,将结尾语加以区分,则对于比较亲密的对方,可以用Sincerely yours、Yours sincerely或Sincerely;对于一般的朋友可用Your friend;如果是儿女写给父母,就用Your loving son(daughter);对长辈则写Respectfully yours,至于生意上的往来就用Faithfully yours。  

5、在结尾语下面的署名必须亲自签名,不可用打字的,而且在签名之后,也不加任何的标点符号。  

二、英文信封的写法  

1、在信封的左上角写「寄信人」的名字和住址。  

2、在信封的中间或右下角偏左的地方写「收信人」的名字和住址。  

3、寄信人不自称Mr.、Mrs.或Miss,但是在收信人的姓名前则必须加上尊称Mr.、Mrs.或Miss以示礼貌。  

4、住址的写法与中文相反;英文住址原则上是由小至大,如必须先写门牌号码、街路名称,再写城市、省(州)和邮政区号,最后一行则写上国家的名称。  

5、在信封的右上角贴上邮票。  

6、信封上的邮政区号(zip code),在美国州名之后以五位数阿拉伯数字表示,前三位数代表州或都市,后两位数表示邮区,至于邮政区号10027的念法是one double o two seven。  

7、住址中常用字:有简写的多用简写:  

楼 F(e.g. 2F) 巷 Lane ( e.g. Lane 194) 段 Section;Sec. (e.g. Sec.Ⅱ ) 弄 Alley (e.g. Alley 6) 路 Road;Rd.( e.g. Chunghua Rd.) 街 Street;St.(e.g. Yangkwang St.)

一封信写完了,突然又想起遗漏的事情,这时用p。s。表示,再写上遗漏的话即可,要长话短说。通常在信末签名下面几行的左方,应于正文齐头。

注意:在正式的信函中,应防止使用附言。

8、附件(enclosure)

信件如果有附件,可在信纸的左下角,注上encl:或enc:,例如:encl:2 photos(内附两张照片)。如果福建附件不止一项,应写成encl:或encs。

我们有时可看到在称呼与正文之间有re:或subject:(事由)字样。一般在信纸的中间,也可与“称呼”对齐。还应在底下加横线,以引起读信人的注意,使收信人便于在读信之前就可了解信中的主要内容。事由一般在公务信函中使用,也可以省略。

1、英文书信写作的五项根本原那么

这五项根本原那么是:consideration, conciseness, clarity, courtesy, correctness。即:体贴、简明、清晰、礼貌、正确。

2、英文书信的构造

信头(heading):包括写信人地址和写信日期。位置在信笺的右上角。地址从小到大,按单位换行,比方第一行写门牌号和街道,第二行写城市和省(州),第三行写国家和邮政编码。日期按照以下格式:june 1,XX(美国),1 june,XX(英国)。

封内地址(inside address):如果是比较正式的信函,信笺上还要写上对收信人的称呼和他的地址。它一般位于信头的下方,信笺的左边顶格的位置。

称呼(salutation):封内地址低两行,靠左边顶格自成一行。如果是公函,那么称呼对方的职位,如果是一般朋友那么可称呼为my dear xx,如果是比较熟悉的朋友那么可以用dear xx。

正文(the body):有什么写什么即可。但注意五项根本原那么。

结尾词和签名(plmentary close and signature):一般信函的结尾词用yours sincerely/truely/faithfully)。如果是公函那么以yours respectfully结尾为多。亲密一些的私人信件那么可以根据情况以yours ever/ affectionaely,love,等结尾。结尾词下方要求手写签名,手写签名下方打印签名。

附件和再启(enclosure and postscript):如果有附件,那么可以按照这样的格式写:enclosure: xxx。如果有另外的事情需要补充,那么可以用p.s.开头,表示“又启,又及”的意思。

信封的格式(superscription):写信人的姓名地址位于信封左上角(或信封反面中上方)。收信人的姓名地址位于信封中央或偏右。

收转:在收信人姓名下方写上收转人的姓名,并在前面写上c/o字样。

Dear Ms. Tancredi:

Last week, my family and I dined at your restaurant while travlling in Singapore. We are always looking to try another new restaurant. We liked the way your place looked, so we went inside to have dinner.

The place was crowded and the waiters seemed very busy. After a long wait, we were finally seated. Soon, we ordered the food. We waited an even longer time for the food to arrive. Frustrated, I got the attention of a waiter passing by. I asked what was going on with our meals. He went and checked with the chef. It turned out our waiter had forgotten to place your order. Rightfully angry, we left the restaurant.

Forgetting a customer's order is a big problem. If that type of thing continues, you are going to lose your customers. Here's a suggestion. Require the waiters to actually write down the orders. In such a busy place, it would be impossible to remember them all.

Sincerely,

Shiwen Cai

英文书信格式及范文

书信是重要的交际工具。英文书信分为两大类:公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间来往的书信,可能是推荐信、求职信、入学申请书、邀请信,或询问、答复、反映意见(如投诉信)等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来,私人信件不拘形式,信文多用手写,也可打印;公务信件要求比较严格,必须遵循一定的格式,信文一定要打印。

第一节 英文书信的结构

英文书信一般由以下六部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。

1、信头(Heading)

信头是指发信人的地址和日期,通常写在第一页的右上角。行首可以齐头写,也可以逐行缩进写。地址的书写顺序由小到大:门牌号、街道、城市、省(州)、邮编、国名,最后写发信日期。私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。

2、信内地址(Inside Address)

信内地址要写收信人的姓名和地址。在公务信件中要写明这一项,在私人信件中,这一项常常省略。该项写在写信日期下一行的左上角,格式与寄信人地址一样。

Liu Dawei

68# Wangfujing Street,

                Beijing 100710

China(你的地址)

Jan. 8, 2010(日期)

Mr. Smith

Universal Importers Ltd.

345 Treaty Street

London S.W.1

England(对方地址)

Dear Mr. Smith,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

October 2, 2010

Dear dad and mum,

3、称呼(Salutation)

称呼是对收信人的称谓,应与左边线对齐,写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后,英国人常用逗号,美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字,但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如:

信函中使用的礼节性称呼很多。一般说来,给男士写信用“Mr.”(先生),给女士写信用“Miss”(小姐)、“ Mrs.”(夫人)或“ Ms.”

(女士)。近年来,越来越多的人喜欢用“Ms.”来笼统地称呼女性,这样可以避免判断不清对方婚否等敏感话题所带来的尴尬。当然,也可以根据收信人的身份,用学位、头衔等常用词后缀收信人的姓,例如:Dr.(Doctor,博士)Zhang,Prof.(Professor,教授)Zhou, Pres.(President,经理、会长、校长)Liu,等等。如果对收信人的性别、姓名、职务或其他资料掌握不多的话,用一句“Dear sir or madam”最合适。如果收信人不是具体的某个人而是机关或者单位,则只写负责人的职位和公司或者机构的名称,如:The Manager, CP Group或The President,Jinghui Company等。

4、正文(Body of Letter)

正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是,英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语,再阐明写信的目的,而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的,然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求,并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时,应该直截了当,意思明确,层次清楚,言简意赅。

5、结尾礼词(Complimentary Close)

书信结尾客套语(complimentary close)有多种,相当于我国书信在结尾时使用的"敬礼"、"致敬"、"顺安"等句。最为典型的美国式写法是Sincerely和Best regards,典型的英国式表达有Yours sincerely(熟人或知道对方姓名),Best wishes, kind regards 和yours faithfully(不知姓名)。

Sincerely / Yours sincerely / Yours truthful / Yours faithfully /

Yours truly / Yours等,首字母大写而且每个词后都要加逗号。

Yours sincerely,

Sarah

Yours faithfully,

Tony

6、签名(Signature)

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信,签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草,不易辨认,因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。

Dear Hanna,

Recently I have noticed that you have been smoking heavily, which is becoming a serious problem. As long as you are in, our bedroom is filled with that terrible smell. The ashtray always overflows with cigarette butts.

Your are ruining your health, destroying brain cells which can never be replaced, not to mention the damage to your lungs and windpipes. Smoking, especially heavy smoking, correlates highly with lung cancer. It is possible that you'll be caught up with it. I'm not scaring you. Besides, smoking is also harmful to the health of our roommates and the friendship among us. The roommates avoid being in the bedroom for fear of being polluted. As a result, the brotherhood among roommates is gradually fading.

If I were you, I would try to get rid of the bad habit. It is not difficult to break away from it if you are really determined to quit. Remember 'Where there is a will, there is a way'. I will always be there to help, if you need.

Yours sincerely,

Xiao Lin

Dear Sir or Madam:

I’m writing to complain about a typewriter I bought seven months ago.

In February of 2001 I bought a Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model, at ABC Store, I had used it only a few days when the space bar broke.

I took it to a local shop, they told me it was factory defect and suggest I take it back to ABC. ABC accepted the machine and sent the part in. I waited three months, and since your company did not send a replacement, they let me have the space bar from another typewriter.

Now, six months later, it has broken again. I took it back to ABC. They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured me that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take.

I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter.

Respectfully,

James Bergen

(Signature)

My dear mum/mom,

My dearest dad and mom,

Love from you daughter,

Lots of love from xxx

Take care,
