商务人士大多很忙,阅读商务邮件和其他商务文件的时间有限,所以,我们在写作时要求不但要精准而且要简单直白。牢记四个词:
1.Completeness
内容要Completeness(完整 )
一封商业信函应概况了各项必需的事项,如邀请信应说明时间、地点等,确忌寄出含糊不清的信件。
2. Clear
要传达一个Clear(清楚)的信息
3. Correct
使用Correct(正确)的语法,词汇和标点符号
4.Concise
表述要Concise(简洁)
Use short and simple words when possible e.g “buy” instead of “purchase”.
尽可能使用更短更简单的词。比如用“buy”代替“purchase”。
Remember the ideas is to deliver your message efficiently rather than impress your refer with the extent of your vocabulary.
记住重点在于更有效的传达信息,而不是用你丰富的词汇量给对方留下印象。
Use simpler sentence structures with clear organisation to make your writing easier to read.
用更简单的句型和清晰的组织来使你写的东西更易读。
Try to keep sentences shorter than 20 words and use paragraphs to structure your message.
确保每句话在20个单词以下,用分段来组织你的信息。
Avoid cliches and legalese. These two are overused in business texts. Some of these phrases do not add anything to your message and can be omitted.
避免陈词滥调和法律术语。
