写商务邮件往往要比口语简单：你不必担心发音，并且你可以慢慢的修改你的信件内容。但是写的时候却需要记得几项规则。这儿有一些建议可以保证你的邮件给人留下好印象。

Writing a business email is often easier than speaking: you don’t have to worry about pronunciation, and you can take time to edit your message. But there are some rules to remember when writing emails. Here are some tips to keep in mind to ensure that your email makes a good impression.

       

 

        英语电子邮件发送程序有很多的缩写，如果你不知道意思的话，你给老板要求加薪水的邮件就可能发给了整个办公室！

English email programs use lots of abbreviations, and if you don’t know them, your email asking your boss for a raise might end up going out to the entire office!

        〝Reply to all〞表示你的邮件将发送给每一个收到原始邮件的人。在邮件的地址栏内，〝cc〞 （〝carbon copy〞）部分是指邮件发给你指定的人，而〝bcc〞部分你可以悄悄的发送邮件而不让其他的人知道──〝b〞的意思是〝blind〞（掩藏的）。

“Reply to all” means your email will be sent to everyone who received the original letter you’re replying too. In the address section of the email, the “cc” (carbon copy) section sends copies of the email to the people you indicate, while the “bcc” section lets you send copies discreetly – the “b” stands for “blind” (hidden).

        如果有人要你〝forward〞封邮件，他们意思是要你通过转发的功能发送邮件，有时侯简写成〝fw〞。

 If someone asks you to “forward” an email, they mean to send a copy of the email to them using the forward feature, which is sometimes abbreviated as “fw.”

 

 

        尽管用〝hey〞作为写给朋友的电子邮件开场白没有任何问题，但是最好不要用这种方式来给一个潜在的商务伙伴这样写信。另一方面，使用非常正式的传统开场白〝Dear Sir〞也已经越来越过时了。最好是写〝Dear Mr. / Ms.〞，然后那个人的姓。如果你们一起工作的话，那就写他们的名字也没有关系。（例如〝Dear John〞）。

Although opening an e-mail to your friend with “Hey” is fine, it’s best not to address a potential business partner that way. On the other hand, using extremely formal traditional phrases like “Dear Sir” is increasingly out of date. The best bet is to write “Dear Mr. / Ms.” and then the person’s last name. When you already have a working relationship, it’s fine to just use their first name (e.g. “Dear John”).

       

 

        其他种类的语言可能需要用精美的词汇和复杂的句法来显示你的聪明才智和教育，而写英语邮件你只需用一种清晰且有条理的方式。在邮件的第一段清楚的表明你写信的目的并条理清晰，每一段都有中心句。使用类似〝first, second, next, and finally〞的词引导读者你将表述一个新的观点。你不需在邮件中包括所有的详细内容。你可以用象〝If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me〞，这样的短语来结束邮件，这样一来让读者有更多的机会询问更多的信息。

While in some other languages using elaborate and complicated structures shows your intelligence and education, write your English emails in a clear and organized style. Clearly introduce the purpose of your letter in the first paragraph and follow a clear structure in the main paragraphs with good introductory sentences in each. Using words like “first, second, next, and finally” are guides to the reader that you’re making a new point. You don’t have to describe all the details in your email. You can always end the email with a phrase like “If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me,” which invites the reader to ask you for more information.Be polite and tactful.

        在你写邮件时尽量清晰的陈述所写的内容， 到底是邮寄鞋子的费用折扣还是一次工作面试，最好不要用象〝I want〞，的词表示要求，〝I would like〞显得更尊重对方，并且〝I am interested in〞是提出请求建议或寻求意见的好选择。

While it’s good to be clear when you’re writing an email asking for something, whether it’s a discount on a shipment of shoes or a job interview, it’s best not to use demanding words like “I want.” “I would like” is more respectful, and “I am interested in” is a good choice if you’re making an initial proposal or still exploring ideas.

       

 

〝I am looking forward to your reply〞、〝Thank you〞或者〝Sincerely〞都是给收信人留下好印象的结尾方式。

“I am looking forward to your reply,” “Thank you,” or “Sincerely” are all good ways to leave the  eader with a good impression.
