英文書信

　　書信是人們在日常生活和工作中進行交際的工具，也是中考和高考書面表達中常見的考試文體。由于民族語言和習(xí)慣上的差異，英語信件在書寫格式及表達方式上與漢語不大一樣，有些地方迥然不同。本章將向大家介紹一般格式及各種常見信件，如家信、祝賀信、道歉信及自薦信等。

　　英文書信：應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生英文求職信

　　Dear Sir，

　　I will graduate from the University of Kansas with a Masters degree in June of this year. My major is Pharmacy and I am very interested in securing a position before I graduate, if possible.

　　I am a Chinese and my bachelor's degree is from Zhejiang University.

　　I have long been hopeful of working for you after I graduate, because I consider you the finest hospital in this region, I as sure that if I have the privilege of serving in your pharmacy, I will greatly increase my education and my experience.

　　Needless to say, I will have completed a standard course in pharmacy before I graduate in June. In addition, I have chosen to elect all the courses available at my school in Hospital Pharmacy. I did this because I have always wanted to be a hospital pharmacy. My professors, Sr. John Harkin, Dr. Mildred Carter, and Dr. Iriny Schultz have give me permission to use their names as reference.

　　If you have a position available after I graduate, I would appreciate it. If not, please keep my name on your file, because I consider your Pharmacy the best in this region.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　xxx

　　英文書信的構(gòu)成可分為8個部分：

　　信頭(Heading), 日期(Date), 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address), 稱呼(Salutation), 信文(Body of the letter), 結(jié)束語(Complimentary close), 署名(Signature), 附言(P. S.)

　　信頭(Heading)

　　信頭是指發(fā)信人的單位名稱或地址。一般情況下發(fā)信人只需把自己的地址寫(打字，手寫均可)在信的右上角，離開信紙的頂頭約1英寸，占二三行或四行均可，格式如下：①齊頭式 ②縮進式

　　注意：寫地址的次序與中文不同，應(yīng)先寫門牌號碼街道，然后城市和國名。寫地址時采用齊頭或縮進式，以及每行后要不要加標點符號，都沒有固定的規(guī)定。如寫給經(jīng)常往來的親友，這項地址也可以省略。

　　日期(Date):

　　寫日期注意下列各點：①年份應(yīng)寫全，例如不能用"99"來代替"1999";②月份應(yīng)寫英文名稱，除May, July外，可用縮寫，如：Sep., Oct.。但不要用數(shù)字來代替，如7/4/99 或7， 4， 99，因為在英國此日期代表 7th April，1999，而美國則代表4th July，1999。 ③日期可用1，2，3，4 11，12 21，22 31等，也可用lst，2nd，3rd，4th 11th，21th 22nd 31st等。

　　日期的幾種寫法：a.July 7，1998 b.1st October, 1998 c.30 Nov., 1997 d.Sep. 3rd, 1999

　　④特別注意英文書信日期應(yīng)緊接著寫信人地址下一行，不能像寫中文書信那樣寫在書信簽名之后，這是很多學(xué)生的常見錯誤。

　　收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)

　　寫信人的地址和日期寫好以后，接著就要寫收信人的姓名和地址，一般的事務(wù)信件或給較生疏的朋友的信件要寫，而在給極熟的朋友的信中則可省去。這一項寫在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名寫一行，收信人地址可分兩行或三行寫，和寫信人的地址一樣，上下可取齊，也可以向右縮進。在姓名前一般要加上稱號，稱號因人而異。

　　①對普通男子用Mr;②對未婚女子用Miss;③對已婚女子用Mrs，對婚姻狀況不明確的通常用Ms(后跟本人姓);

　　④對男子用Master;⑤對教授或博士(醫(yī)生)用Prof.或Dr.

　　稱呼(Salutation)

　　稱呼指的是信文開頭的那種稱呼，如Dear , Mr, Uncle，各種稱呼因人而異。在稱呼后面一般是用逗號，但也有用冒號的�，F(xiàn)歸納如下：①對父母、兄弟、姐妹等;a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom,

　�、趯τH戚：a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin,

　　③對朋友、同學(xué)a.My dear friend, b.Dear Mr Jackson, c.My dear Mr Jackson, d.Dear Sir,

　�、軐ξ椿榕�子：a.Dear Miss Luce, b.My dear Miss Luce,

　�、輰σ话闩�子，不論是否結(jié)婚：a.Madame, b.Dear Madame,

　�、迣σ鸦榕�子：a.Dear Mrs Helen Jackson, b.My dear Mrs Helen Jackson,

　�、邔�公司、工廠、學(xué)校等：a.Dear Sirs, b.Sirs, c.Gentlemen,

　　信文(Body of the letter)

　　信文是信件的主體部分，也就是信的內(nèi)容。正文應(yīng)在稱呼下兩行開始。信的開頭第一個字母通常和稱呼開頭第一個詞平齊。也有往后退四個或八個字母的。下面介紹一些開頭語和結(jié)尾語。

　　署名(Signature)

　　下面是署名的例子：

　�、� 個人署名：truly, W. J. Watson ,Yours faithfully,

　　②公司署名：Legend Computer Company, Wang Lin ,Sales Manager

　　附言(Postscript)

　　發(fā)信人有時在寫完信后又想起一件比較重要的事沒有說，可以在信末署名下面幾行寫上， P. S. (Postscript的縮寫)，然后將要補充的話寫上。不過要注意寫信時最好將事情一次講清楚，盡量少用或不用P.S.。
