10、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。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。地址也是从小到大写出,分缩进式和齐头式两种。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
11、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。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
12、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
13、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 Manager7 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)英语作文书信格式 3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
14、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。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)
15、, 结束语(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: 齐头式 缩进式 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。Example: 123 Tianhe Road Tianhe District Guangzhou 510620 Guangdong Province P. R. C. Jan. 8, 2010 日
16、期(Date): 年份应写全,例如不能用 99 来代替 1999; 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, 而美国则代表 4th July,1999 。 日期可用 1,2,3 ,411,1221 ,2231 等,也可用 lst, 2nd,3rd ,4th11th, 21th22nd31st 等。日期的几种写法: a.July 7,1998 b.1st October, 1998 c.30 Nov., 1997 d.Sep. 3rd, 19
17、99 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则可省去。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。 对普通男子用 Mr;对未婚女子用 Miss;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);对男子用 Ma
18、ster;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: 对父母、兄弟、姐妹等;a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom, 对亲戚:a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin, 对朋友、 同学 a. dear friend, b. My Dear Mr
19、Jackson, c. dear Mr Jackson, d. My Dear Sir, 对未婚女子:a.Dear Miss Luce, b.My dear Miss Luce, 对一般女子,不论是否结婚:a.Madame, b.Dear Madame, 对已婚女子:a.Dear Mrs Helen Jackson, b.My dear Mrs Helen Jackson, 对公司、工厂、学校等:a.Dear Sirs, b.Sirs, c.Gentlemen, 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
20、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
21、要的自我介绍,并 表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 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.

28、 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,不易辨认,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: 个人署名: truly, W. J. Watson ,Yours faithfully, 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,
29、如附有。 。 。 。 。 。证明应写为 EncCertificate; (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。信封(envelope)。英语的信封和中文

31、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。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,这种形式则表示写信人 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。 齐头式信件款式: B: 折衷式信件款式:用折衷式书写信件, 其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。第一段第一句的第一个单词必须在 Dear 称呼的直接下面。以后每段开头都要与第一段第一个字对齐。信尾的客套话和签名都写在右 下方。朋友

37、ang 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?

43、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: Im writing to plain about a typewriter I bought seven months ago.

48、 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。
