18/18大學(xué)英語(yǔ)應(yīng)用文寫作方法大學(xué)英語(yǔ)應(yīng)用文(書信)寫作

書信是日常生活中常用的文體,是用以交涉事宜、傳達(dá)信息、交流思想、聯(lián)絡(luò)感情、增進(jìn)了解的重要工具。英文書信分為兩大類:私人信件和公務(wù)信件。

私人信件是指親戚朋友之間的通信。這兩類書信各有自己的格式。一般說(shuō)來(lái),私人信件不拘形式,信文多用手寫,也可打??;

公務(wù)信件是單位與單位或單位與個(gè)人之間來(lái)往的書信,可能是推薦信、求職信、入學(xué)申請(qǐng)書、邀請(qǐng)信,或詢問(wèn)、答復(fù)、反映意見(jiàn)(如投訴信)等的信件。公務(wù)信件要求比較嚴(yán)格,必須遵循一定的格式。

英語(yǔ)書信的結(jié)構(gòu):

英文書信通常包括6個(gè)組成部分:

信頭(heading,包括寄信人地址和日期);

信內(nèi)地址(insideaddress,指收信人地址);

稱呼(salutation);

正文(body);

結(jié)束語(yǔ)(complimentary);

簽名(signature);

有時(shí)候還包括附言(postscript)和附件(attachment)。

在考試中,由于篇幅所限,只要求考生在書信中包

括稱呼、正文、結(jié)束語(yǔ)和簽名四個(gè)部分。

1.信頭(Heading)

信頭是指發(fā)信人的地址和日期,通常寫在第一頁(yè)

的右上角。行首可以齊頭寫,也可以逐行縮進(jìn)寫。

地址的書寫順序由小到大:門牌號(hào)、街道、城市、

省(州)、郵編、國(guó)名,最后寫發(fā)信日期。私人信

件一般只寫寄信日期即可。例如:

123TianheRoad

TianheDistrict

Guangzhou510620

GuangdongProvince

P.R.C.

March15,2002

發(fā)信日期的寫法:

①年份應(yīng)完全寫出,不能簡(jiǎn)寫。

②月份要用英文名稱,不要用數(shù)字代替。

③月份名稱多用公認(rèn)的縮寫式。但May,June,July,因?yàn)檩^短,不可縮寫。

④寫日期時(shí),可用基數(shù)詞1,2,3,4,5,……28,29,30,31等,也可用序數(shù)詞lst,2nd,

3rd,4th,5th,……28th,29th,30th,31st等。但最好用基數(shù)詞,簡(jiǎn)單明了。

日期可有下列幾種寫法:

①Oct.20,2004;②10May.,2004;

③3rdJune,2004;④Sept.16th,2004.其中,①最為通用。

2.信內(nèi)地址(InsideAddress)

信內(nèi)地址要寫收信人的姓名和地址。在公

務(wù)信件中要寫明這一項(xiàng),在私人信件中,這

一項(xiàng)常常省略。該項(xiàng)寫在寫信日期下一行的

左上角,格式與寄信人地址一樣。

3.稱呼(Salutation)

稱呼是對(duì)收信人的稱謂,應(yīng)與左邊線對(duì)齊,寫在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行處。在稱呼后,英國(guó)人常用逗號(hào),美國(guó)人則常用冒號(hào)。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字,但公務(wù)信件中一定要寫收信人的姓。大部分信件在稱呼前加“Dear”。如:

DearProfessor/Prof.Bergen:

DearDr.Johnson,

對(duì)不相識(shí)的人可按性別稱呼:

DearSir:或DearMadam,DearLadies。

如果不知收信人的性別則用DearSirorMadam:

4.信的正文(BodyoftheLetter)

正文是書信的主體。與中文信件不同的是,英文書信的

正文的開(kāi)頭不是先寫一些問(wèn)候語(yǔ),再闡明寫信的目的,而是

直接說(shuō)明寫信人的身份及寫信的目的,然后提出寫信人的情

況、想法或要求,并加以必要的解釋或說(shuō)明。英文書信陳述

目的時(shí),應(yīng)該直截了當(dāng),意思明確,層次清楚,言簡(jiǎn)意賅。

書信正文的第一句話或第一段,通常被稱為起首語(yǔ)。一般

說(shuō)來(lái),人們習(xí)慣用一些客套的寫法作為書信正文的起始,即

先將對(duì)方來(lái)信的日期、主題加以簡(jiǎn)單描述,以便使對(duì)方一看

便知該信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次給別人寫信,也

可用開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)作必要的自我介紹,并表明自己寫信的主要目的。

正文寫作格式:

正文的寫作格式主要有英式和美式兩種。

1)英式結(jié)構(gòu)即縮進(jìn)式結(jié)構(gòu),屬于比較傳統(tǒng)的結(jié)構(gòu),即每一段的第一行都向里縮進(jìn)4-8個(gè)字符,

且所有段落的縮進(jìn)距離必須保持一致;稱呼頂格寫,落款則在中間偏右的位置。

2)美式結(jié)構(gòu)則是齊頭式結(jié)構(gòu),其特點(diǎn)是所有段落的第一行都頂格寫,段與段之間空一行,另

外稱呼、落款等也都頂格

寫。

商業(yè)信函以及電子郵件最好使用齊頭式。

縮進(jìn)式:

DearKate,

processofwritingmygraduationthesis,andneedtoconsultthebooknowandthenforstandardformatting.ThusImightneedtokeepthebookforaboutamonthandahalf,and

齊頭式:

5.結(jié)束語(yǔ)(ComplimentaryClose)

公務(wù)信件的結(jié)尾禮詞包含兩部分:發(fā)信人的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)與署名。結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)寫在簽名上面一行,第一個(gè)字母要大寫,套語(yǔ)結(jié)尾后面要加逗號(hào)。

在公務(wù)信件中,發(fā)信人常用的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)有:

Trulyyours,Yourstruly,Respectfullyyours,Yours

respectfully,Faithfullyyours,Yoursfaithfully,Sincerelyyours,YourssincerelyYourstruly,Yours等。

私人信件中,發(fā)信人常用的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)有:

Sincerelyyours,Lovelyyours,Yourlovely,Yourloving

son/daughter等。

6.簽名(Signature)

寫信人的簽名常位于結(jié)尾禮詞正下方一二

行。除非是給很熟悉的人寫信,簽名一般須

寫出全名。簽名常常較潦草,不易辨認(rèn),因

此在簽名的正下方須打印出全名。

各種信函類型:

一、邀請(qǐng)信(ALetterofInvitation)

(一)邀請(qǐng)信的種類

英文邀請(qǐng)信可分為兩種。一種是請(qǐng)柬(invitationcard),這

是一種正規(guī)的邀請(qǐng)信,格式嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)而固定,一般適用于較莊重

嚴(yán)肅的場(chǎng)合。另一種是一般的邀請(qǐng)信,適用于一些平常的事

情的邀請(qǐng),通常邀請(qǐng)人同被邀請(qǐng)人之間比較熟悉,這種邀請(qǐng)

信具有簡(jiǎn)短、熱情的特點(diǎn)。

(二)邀請(qǐng)信的寫法

1.活動(dòng)名稱及目的

寫明邀請(qǐng)對(duì)方參加什么活動(dòng),以及邀請(qǐng)的原因和目的等。

2.活動(dòng)細(xì)節(jié)及注意事項(xiàng)

寫明活動(dòng)安排的細(xì)節(jié)及需要告訴對(duì)方的注意事項(xiàng)。諸如時(shí)

間、地點(diǎn)、參加人員、人數(shù),需要做些什么樣的準(zhǔn)備以及需

要穿著什么的服飾。要求穿禮服時(shí),須在請(qǐng)柬的右下角注明

dress:formal;較隨意時(shí)可用:dress:informal。

邀請(qǐng)信的回復(fù)

邀請(qǐng)信的復(fù)信要求簡(jiǎn)明扼要,在書寫時(shí)應(yīng)注意以下幾點(diǎn):

1接受邀請(qǐng)的復(fù)信中應(yīng)重復(fù)寫上邀請(qǐng)信中的某些內(nèi)容,如

邀請(qǐng)年、月、日,星期幾、幾點(diǎn)鐘等,如"I?llbe

delightedtoattendyourluncheonnextFriday,Maythefifth,attwelveo?clock.“。

2邀請(qǐng)信的復(fù)信中應(yīng)明確表明接受邀請(qǐng)還是不接受邀請(qǐng),

不能含乎其詞,如不能寫“I?llcomeifI?mintown.”這類的話,以使得對(duì)方無(wú)法作出安排。在接受邀請(qǐng)的復(fù)信中,應(yīng)對(duì)

受到邀請(qǐng)表示高興。謝卻的復(fù)信中應(yīng)闡明不能應(yīng)邀的原由。

二申請(qǐng)信(ALetterofApplication)

申請(qǐng)信主要用于求職或求學(xué),目的是要對(duì)方充分了

解自己的目的和資格.因此,申請(qǐng)信必須簡(jiǎn)明扼要,突

出重點(diǎn).申請(qǐng)信可以是針對(duì)招聘廣告寫的,也可以市

直接遞交給某個(gè)單位的.申請(qǐng)信要求語(yǔ)言規(guī)范,信息

正式,既不能夸張,也不必過(guò)于謙虛.申請(qǐng)信的結(jié)構(gòu)一

般包括:申請(qǐng)目標(biāo),自述理由,介紹資格,請(qǐng)求面試和

期待回音等.語(yǔ)言注意點(diǎn)申請(qǐng)信開(kāi)篇應(yīng)點(diǎn)明主題,

語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)練。接著說(shuō)明做此申請(qǐng)的原因,即自己所具

備的申請(qǐng)條件,這一部分需重點(diǎn)明確,論述充分。

最后請(qǐng)求回復(fù)并表示感謝時(shí),應(yīng)采用禮貌、誠(chéng)懇的

措辭。

這類信件的主要結(jié)構(gòu)是:

1)說(shuō)明寫作目的表明想要獲得什么工作或?qū)W位,介紹自己,為什么寫信.若是應(yīng)聘工作則還需說(shuō)明何時(shí)何地從哪里獲

得該職位的招聘信息(對(duì)公司評(píng)估廣告效應(yīng)非常重要)所有這些可以用一句話概括

2)介紹相關(guān)工作經(jīng)歷及本人個(gè)性,以表明你可以勝任這個(gè)職位包括教育背景、工作經(jīng)歷、個(gè)人能力及成就還可根據(jù)情

況簡(jiǎn)單介紹個(gè)人愛(ài)好和興趣注意:所有這些內(nèi)容均應(yīng)與應(yīng)聘

工作或?qū)W位有關(guān)系介紹背景時(shí),選詞遣字既不過(guò)分渲染,又

不過(guò)分謙虛要給人留下既充滿信心又態(tài)度誠(chéng)懇的印象

3)表示感謝和期待,懇請(qǐng)招聘單位對(duì)自己的申請(qǐng)給予優(yōu)先考慮,留下聯(lián)絡(luò)方式及對(duì)對(duì)方表示感謝

常見(jiàn)求職及申請(qǐng)信的導(dǎo)語(yǔ)句型:

Iamwritingtoapplyfor...

表示信心、能力或興趣的方式:

在信尾表達(dá)進(jìn)一步聯(lián)系的愿望,表示感謝的方式:

Iwouldbepleasedtohavetheopportunitytointerviewwith...

IwouldappreciatetheopportunitytodiscusshowImightfurthercontributetoyour...

三、詢問(wèn)信(ALetterofInquiry)

詢問(wèn)信的主要目的是尋求所需信息,通常包括以下幾個(gè)方面的內(nèi)容:首先表明寫作意圖,說(shuō)明寫這封信的目的是要尋求什么樣的信息;然后就某一具體問(wèn)題進(jìn)行詢問(wèn);最后表明獲取信息的急切心情,可以提供聯(lián)系方式以便收信人與你聯(lián)系,并表達(dá)你的感謝之情。

提示:詢問(wèn)信的語(yǔ)氣通常比較正式、和緩,要充分表達(dá)感激之情。同時(shí),相比較語(yǔ)氣直接的疑問(wèn)句,用一些能夠起到提問(wèn)作用的陳述句更佳。

具體寫作步驟:

首段:簡(jiǎn)單敘述題目場(chǎng)景,說(shuō)明寫作意圖,清楚表明

寫這封信的目的是要尋求什么樣的信息。

主體段落:詢問(wèn)具體問(wèn)題??梢詥?wèn)一些與命題所設(shè)置

的問(wèn)題相關(guān)的內(nèi)容,但這些問(wèn)題必須是與題目本身要求

獲取的信息是有相關(guān)性的??忌部梢宰约赫J(rèn)為比較重

要的問(wèn)題單獨(dú)列一個(gè)段落,將其內(nèi)容細(xì)化。考生可以根

據(jù)虛擬的自身情況提出相關(guān)的問(wèn)題。

結(jié)尾段:表明急切獲取信息的心情,提供聯(lián)系方式以

便收信人與你聯(lián)絡(luò),對(duì)收信人所能給予的任何幫助都要

表示感謝,即使你知道這些幫助是收信人應(yīng)該做的。

在寫咨詢信時(shí)特別要注意使用句式的選擇,在詢問(wèn)問(wèn)

題時(shí)要使用“Wouldyoupleasetellme……”之類的正式

疑問(wèn)句式。

Iwonderifyoucouldtellmetheinformationabout……

Iamwritingfortheinformationabout……

四、投訴信(ALetterofComplaint)

在人們的生活中經(jīng)常會(huì)發(fā)生一些事情,比如消費(fèi)利益受損、正常生活和工

作受到干擾等等令人傷腦筋的事情,有時(shí)寫封投訴信不失為一個(gè)解決的辦

法。

投訴信通常包括以下幾個(gè)方面的內(nèi)容:說(shuō)明投訴的原因并表示遺憾;實(shí)

事求是地闡述問(wèn)題發(fā)生的經(jīng)過(guò),切記不要夸大其詞;指出問(wèn)題引起的后

果;提出批評(píng)及處理的意見(jiàn)或敦促對(duì)方采取措施或者提出所希望的賠償以

及補(bǔ)救方式。

投訴信的結(jié)構(gòu)

(1)開(kāi)頭:自我介紹,交代投訴內(nèi)容,表明本信的目的和要求。

(2)正文:說(shuō)明情況,講清利害,分析利弊。告訴對(duì)方你因此受到的傷害或不便,提出解決問(wèn)題的建議,表明希望如何處理。

(3)結(jié)尾:表達(dá)希望問(wèn)題得到迅速恰當(dāng)解決的強(qiáng)烈愿望,希望盡快得到滿意的答復(fù)。

五、道歉信(ALetterofApology)

我們?cè)诠ぷ骰蛏钪?,有時(shí)難免會(huì)犯一些錯(cuò)誤,

寫封致歉信就顯得很有必要。道歉信通常包括以下

內(nèi)容:表示歉意;道歉的原由;出現(xiàn)差錯(cuò)的原因;提

出彌補(bǔ)措施;請(qǐng)求原諒。寫道歉信的語(yǔ)言要誠(chéng)摯,解

釋的理由要真實(shí),不要顯出絲毫的虛情假意。好的

道歉信不僅會(huì)取得對(duì)方的諒解,還會(huì)增進(jìn)彼此的感情。

寫作“三步走”:表示歉意->說(shuō)明具體原因、提出補(bǔ)

救辦法->再次致歉、希望得到理解.

提示:在寫作過(guò)程中,盡可能提供比較合理的理由。

如果違反生活常識(shí)將導(dǎo)致扣分;在解釋完原因后,盡量

提供一個(gè)合適的補(bǔ)救辦法,使行文更加完滿。

六、感謝信(ALetterofThanks)

英文感謝信是商務(wù)信函中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的題材。在商

務(wù)交往中,如果受到邀請(qǐng),得到對(duì)方的照顧提攜,

或是得到了他人的幫助、推薦、介紹后最好去封感

謝信表達(dá)真誠(chéng)的謝意。感謝信通常應(yīng)一事一謝,篇幅要注意簡(jiǎn)短,措詞要自然,語(yǔ)氣要誠(chéng)懇。

感謝信的開(kāi)頭應(yīng)簡(jiǎn)述寫感謝信的目的。

感謝信的主要部分,應(yīng)特別指出由于對(duì)方的幫

助,使自己所得到的益處。

感謝信的最后有時(shí)可再次表達(dá)感謝之意,也可表

達(dá)希望繼續(xù)合作、保持聯(lián)絡(luò)的愿望或有機(jī)會(huì)報(bào)答對(duì)

方的承諾等。

七、祝賀信(ALetterofCongratulation)

英語(yǔ)中,祝賀信使用的頻率很高。凡是遇到重大

的喜慶節(jié)日,如圣誕節(jié)、新年、婚禮和生日等等,

親友間要寫祝賀信。當(dāng)親友晉升、畢業(yè)、考試成功

或出國(guó)留學(xué)時(shí)也要寫祝賀信。祝賀信相對(duì)而言是比

較容易寫的,但用詞必須親切有禮、表達(dá)出真誠(chéng)的

喜悅感情。具體寫作步驟:

首段:表達(dá)聽(tīng)到喜訊的心情。

主體段落:對(duì)喜訊進(jìn)行積極評(píng)價(jià)。

結(jié)尾段:表達(dá)衷心的祝賀之情。

①Congratulations,allofusfeelproudofyourremarkableachievements!

②Iamsopleasedandhappytohearthat……

③Iwritetocongratulateyouupon……

④Iofferyoumywarmestcongratulationsonyour……

八、請(qǐng)求信(ALetterofRequest)

請(qǐng)求信是對(duì)收信人提出請(qǐng)求,并希望對(duì)方滿足該要求。寫請(qǐng)求信的重點(diǎn)是要寫清楚為什么要請(qǐng)求他人做某事,請(qǐng)求他人做某事的原因。

寫請(qǐng)求信時(shí)首先要說(shuō)明寫作意圖,一定要注意語(yǔ)氣要禮貌,用詞要規(guī)范;然后具體展開(kāi)說(shuō)明請(qǐng)求的原因;最后表示希望對(duì)方予以答復(fù)。

提示:在許多情況下,請(qǐng)求信是寫給不認(rèn)識(shí)的人或者機(jī)構(gòu),所以在信的開(kāi)頭可以做一下簡(jiǎn)單的自我介紹。同時(shí),由于提出的請(qǐng)求往往都是需要麻煩別人的事情,所以要注意語(yǔ)氣的禮貌程度,不要吝嗇你的感謝。

正文主要有3個(gè)部分

(1)介紹自己、提出請(qǐng)求

(2)說(shuō)明原因及其它事項(xiàng)

(3)表達(dá)謝意、期盼答復(fù)

(1)Couldyouplease...?

(2)Couldyoupossibly...

(3)Woulditbepossibleto...

(4)Iwouldbegratefulifyoucould...

(5)Wouldyouminddoing...

(6)Iwonderifyoucould...

(7)Iwouldlikeyouto...

九、建議信(ALetterofAdvice)

建議信是對(duì)收信人就某一問(wèn)題提出看法、建議或忠告。建

議信不同于投訴信,所以寫信人一定要注意禮貌當(dāng)先。建議

信一般包括以下內(nèi)容:首先說(shuō)明寫信的目的,其次,在肯定

優(yōu)點(diǎn)的基礎(chǔ)上提出自己的建議或看法(否則別人以為你在投

訴,而不是在提建議),最后表達(dá)希望采納建議。

寫作“三步走”:自我介紹、說(shuō)明目的;委婉地提出建議及

改進(jìn)措施,或提出忠告;禮貌地總結(jié)或期盼回復(fù)。

提示:提建議畢竟不是投訴,所以語(yǔ)言一定要委婉、禮

貌,顧及他人感情。在提出缺點(diǎn)之前,最好先肯定其優(yōu)點(diǎn)。
