英文書信的格式怎么寫
用英文來寫一封書信,有著什么樣的要求呢?它的正確格式又是怎么的呢?今天小編來告訴大家英文書信的格式怎么寫,請閱讀下面的內(nèi)容。
英文書信的格式怎么寫
1、信頭(Heading)
指發(fā)信人的姓名(單位名稱)、地址和日期,一般寫在信紙的右上角。一般公函或商業(yè)信函的信紙上都印有單位或公司的名稱、地址、電話號碼等,因此就只需在信頭下面的右邊寫上寫信日期就可以了。
英文地址的寫法與中文完全不同,地址的名稱按從小到大的順序:第一行寫門牌號碼和街名;第二行寫縣、市、省、州、郵編、國名;然后再寫日期。標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號一般在每一行的末尾都不用,但在每一行的之間,該用的還要用,例如在寫日期的時(shí)候。
日期的寫法,如1997年7月30日,英文為:July 30,1997(最為普遍); July 30th,1997;30th July,1997等。1997不可寫成97。
2、信內(nèi)地址(Inside Address)
在一般的社交信中,信內(nèi)收信人的地址通常省略,但是在公務(wù)信函中不能。將收信人的姓名、地址等寫在信頭日期下方的左角上,要求與對信頭的要求一樣,不必再寫日期。
3、稱呼(Salutation)
是寫信人對收信人的稱呼用語。位置在信內(nèi)地址下方一、二行的地方,從該行的頂格寫起,在稱呼后面一般用逗號(英國式),也可以用冒號(美國式)。
(1)寫給親人、親戚和關(guān)系密切的朋友時(shí),用Dear或My dear再加上表示親屬關(guān)系的稱呼或直稱其名(這里指名字,不是姓氏)。例如:My dear father,Dear Tom等。
(2)寫給公務(wù)上的信函用Dear Madam,Dear Sir或Gentleman(Gentlemen)。注意:Dear純屬公務(wù)上往來的客氣形式。Gentlemen總是以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn),前不加Dear,是Dear Sir的復(fù)數(shù)形式。
(3)寫給收信人的信,也可用頭銜、職位、職稱、學(xué)位等再加姓氏或姓氏和名字。例如:Dear Prof. Tim Scales, Dear Dr.John Smith。
4、正文(Body of the Letter)
位置在下面稱呼語隔一行,是信的核心部分。因此要求正文層次分明、簡單易懂。和中文信不同的是,正文中一般不用Hello!(你好!)
正文有縮進(jìn)式和齊頭式兩種。每段書信第一行的第一個(gè)字母稍微向右縮進(jìn)些,通常以五個(gè)字母為宜,每段第二行從左面頂格寫起,這就是縮進(jìn)式。
但美國人寫信各段落往往不用縮進(jìn)式,用齊頭式,即每一行都從左面頂格寫起。商務(wù)信件大都采用齊頭式的寫法。
5、結(jié)束語(Complimentary Close)
在正文下面的一、二行處,從信紙的中間偏右處開始,第一個(gè)詞開頭要大寫,句末用逗號。不同的對象,結(jié)束語的`寫法也不同。
(1)寫給家人、親戚,用Your loving grandfather,Lovingly yours,Lovingly等;
(2)寫給熟人、朋友,用Yours cordially,Yours affectionately等;
(3)寫業(yè)務(wù)信函用Truely yours(Yours truely),F(xiàn)aithfully yours(Yours faithfully)等;
(4)對上級、長輩用Yours obediently(Obediently yours),Yours respectfully(Respectfully yours)等。
6、簽名(Signature)
低于結(jié)束語一至二行,從信紙中間偏右的地方開始,在結(jié)束語的正下方,在簽完名字的下面還要有用打字機(jī)打出的名字,以便識(shí)別。職務(wù)、職稱可打在名字的下面。當(dāng)然,寫給親朋好友的信,就不必再打了。
7、附言(Postscript)
一封信寫完了,突然又想起遺漏的事情,這時(shí)用P.S.表示,再寫上遺漏的話即可,要長話短說。通常在信末簽名下面幾行的左方,應(yīng)于正文齊頭。
注意:在正式的信函中,應(yīng)避免使用附言。
8、附件(Enclosure)
信件如果有附件,可在信紙的左下角,注上Encl:或Enc:,例如:Encl:2 photos(內(nèi)附兩張照片)。如果福建附件不止一項(xiàng),應(yīng)寫成Encl:或Encs。
我們有時(shí)可看到在稱呼與正文之間有Re:或Subject:(事由)字樣。一般在信紙的中間,也可與“稱呼”對齊。還應(yīng)在底下加橫線,以引起讀信人的注意,使收信人便于在讀信之前就可了解信中的主要內(nèi)容。事由一般在公務(wù)信函中使用,也可以省略。
