中学题库|写作练习:怎么样写英语信件

来源:www.rsssln.com 2024-11-03

英语信件主要可以分为私人信件与事务信件两大类。从初中生实质出发,本书主要介绍怎么样写私人信件。
1.信封

英语信封与汉语信封的写法是完全不一样的。第一,英语信封与汉语信封上收发人的名字和地址的地方是不一样的。汉语信封将收信人名字地址写在信封偏左或中央部位,寄信人的名字和地址写在信封右下方;而将英语信封的发信人名字和地址写在信封的左上方,收信人的名字与地址在信封偏右或中央部位。另外,英汉信封上收发信人的名字地址顺序也完全不同:汉语信封是先写国家名字,然后再从大地方写到小地方直至路名、门牌号,再写收信人名字;而英语信封正好相反。

第一行:收信人名字

第二行:住所门牌号,街道名字

第三行:市镇名字及所在地邮政编码

第四行:省州等大区域名字(假如第三行是大城市,这部分也可省去)

第五行:国家名字(寄往海外时需写)

实例:

在写英姓文的名时注意:要先写名,再写姓,前面可以用Mr(男性),Mrs(已婚女性),Miss(未婚女性),Ms(不标明婚姻情况的女性),Dr(有博士学位的人),Professor(Prof.)(教授)。路名可用缩略形式: Rd.(Road),St.(Street),Ave.(Avenue1大道)。有时在信封左下角可以写上By Airmail(航空),Printed Matter(印刷品),Registered Mail(挂号信)等词汇,在左下角还可以写Please do not bend(请不要折叠)等提示语。

2.私人信件格式

1)信头:发信人地址和日期

这部分中有时可省去发信人地址,但一般要写日期。放在信纸的右上方。

2)称呼:对收信人的尊称

最普通的是Dear,但与Mr,Mrs,Miss等不一样的是:Dear后一般用名字,而Mr,Mrs,Miss后不可以单独用名字,而只能是姓或姓与名,譬如:对John Smith的称呼,应该是Mr Smith,Mr John Smith或 Dear John.称呼后面可用逗号或者冒号。

3)信的正文

4)结尾:发信人对收信人的谦称或敬语。放在信的右下方。

这部分要特别注意英语习惯,不可依据汉语意思写上诸这样致敬礼、祝你健康之类的中国式的结尾语。常见的英语信件结尾语如下:

写给同龄人或年长的朋友: Yours sincerely,Sincerely yours,Yours等等。

写给好朋友: Love,With love, Best wishes等等。

写给亲戚:Love,With love,Affectionately yours,Your (ever) loving son(sister等等)。

5)签名

签名一般在结尾语的下面一行。

比如:

事务信件格式与私人信件格式大致相同,只不过在称呼和结尾上要比较正式一些。

常见的称呼有:Dear Sir(不知他们名字时用)

Dear Mr/Mrs/Miss X(了解他们名字时用)

常见的结尾语有:Yours sincerely(了解他们名字时用)

Yours truly/Yours faithfully(不知他们名字时用)

3.私人信件的正文

1)开头

容易见到的私人信件的开头方法有:

表示开心:I was so glad/pleased/happy to receive your letter dated May 1st.

表示感谢:Thank you for your wonderful gift/your interesting letter.

表示关心与询问:How are you these days?/How are you getting on these days?/How are you getting on with your work/studies?

表示抱歉:I am sorry that I did not write to you sooner but I have been very busy these days. / I am sorry that I have not written to you for such a long time,but let me assure2 you that you have always been in my thoughts.

一般在表示道歉没准时给他们写信时,还要简述缘由或写上安慰的话。

表示遗憾:I was sorry to learn that you did not do well in the entrance examination3. / I was so upset to hear that you are ill these days. I do hope you are getting better.

2)信件主体

这部分内容是最自由的,与汉语信件没什么不同。私人信件一般文体非常随意,可以写任何你想写的内容。

3)结束信件

常见的话语有:

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

I am afraid I have to sTOP now but I will write again.

Please give my regards to your family.

Take good care of you and keep in touch.

最后,需要介绍一下邀请信的写法。邀请信是一种社交信件。伴随愈加多的外籍老师来国内学校执教,有时学生举行一些社交活动,常要邀请外籍老师前来参加。因此,掌握写英语邀请信是非常有实质意义的。

英语邀请信的要素是:(1)邀请对象(2)活动时间(3)活动地址(4)活动内容(5)询问是不是同意邀请。

下面是英语邀请信的实例:

比较随意的邀请信

Dear Jane,

We are giving a small party at Room 303 at 7 p. m. on December 25 to celebrate the Christmas Day. We shall be very pleased if you can come.

Yours,
Ming Ming

比较正式的邀请信

June 5,1999

Dear Mr Smith,

If you have no other plans for Sunday,June 15,would you like to come to our dancing party?

All the students of our class are coming. Mr Li,our dean,is also joining us. And we shall be very pleased if you could manage to come,too.

The party is at 7 p. m. in the school hall. We shall expect you then if we do not hear from you to the contrary4(回绝).

Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
