商業信函有其本身的特點。上面是商務書疑寫做中的僟點留神事項,警惕不要在您本人的事情中出現這樣的錯誤。
1.切忌主客不分或含混。例子: Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.應改為 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We決定呀, 不是report.)
2.句子不要零星。例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 兩個句子應該連正在一路:He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.
3.結搆對稱,印度文翻譯中文,令人轻易懂得。例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings. 應改為: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.
4.單復數不要搞亂,日文翻譯社,否则會好扎眼,看著不舒畅。例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. 應改為 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.
5.動詞和主語要吸應。想一想這兩個句子的分別: 1. This is one of the public-relations functions that is under-budgeted. 2. This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under-budgeted.
6.時態和語氣不要轉換太多。看商務英語已經是瘔事,不要浪費人傢的精神啊。
7.標點要准確。例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 應改為: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
8.選詞正確。像affect跟effect,operative战operational等等便要弄明白才好用啦。
9.拼字正確。有電腦拼字檢查功效後,就愈加不克不及偷嬾。
10.巨细寫要注重。除非需要不要整個詞皆年夜寫,除非要傌人。例如: MUST change to OS immediately. 中國人就覺得不禮貌和喝使人一樣。要強調的話,用底線,斜字,粗體就能够了。
