business letters:(1)信 头(Heading)(2)日期(D期e)(3)我方参考号码(Our Ref.No.)对方参考号码(Ybur Ref.No.)(4)封内地址(Inside Address)(5)称 呼(Salutation)(6)事 由(Subject)M文(Body of the Letter)(8)结尾套语(Complimentary Close)(9)签 名(Signature)(10)经办人代号(Reference Notation)(11)附 件(Enclosure)(12)抄 送(Carbon Copy)(1 3)附 言(RS.)以上是英语商业书信的基本结构,其中第1、2、4、5、7、8、9等七个部分是最常用的。但各信的格式不尽一致,有些项目是否要用应视具体情况而定。下面就以上格式中13个项目逐一介绍:(1)信 头(Heading)商业信函的信头一般印在信笺上端中央,也可在右边或左边。信头中含有发信人公司名称、地址、邮编、电话号码、传真号码、电子信箱等信息资料。(2)日 期(Date)地址下面写发信日期,次序是月、日、年,如Feb.27,2005:或日、月、年,如I 27 Feb.,2005(3)信函编号(Reference Number)信函编号是为了信件归档、查找之用,通常有我方编号(Our Ref.)和对方编号(Your Ref.)组成,如:Our Ref.:CS 49/77005Your Ref.:2005/IB318(4)信内地址(Inside Address)现代商业信件,通常把收信人姓名和地址打在信上,这样可以保持函件的完整,并便于归档立卷。如收信人为某公司,而寄信人要求该公司某特定人收阅和经办,则可写上Attention(缩写为Attn.),格式如下:Pacific Marine Insurance Company643 Powell St.San Francisco,Ca.94108Attention:Mr.H.S.Kennedy(5)称 呼(Salutation)常见的正式称呼有:Dear Mr Smith,Dear Mrs Black,Dear Miss Brown,Dear Ms.White。Ms.用于不知是否已结婚的女子姓名之前。若称呼多个男性,则在姓名前用Mr.的复数形式Messrs。Mrs没有复数形式,若称呼多个女性,则在姓名前用M m es.,如Mmes.White and Gray。写给.个公司时,可以用Dear S irs,也可以用Gentlemen,美 国 人般用Gentlemen。称呼后用冒号或逗号均可,但前者显得更正式。Gentlemen后常用冒号。(6)事 由(Subject)事由写在称呼下面、信笺中间的位置。事由可让对方在阅读信的正文以前对信的主题、内容目了然。另外,在登记归档和查卷时也感到方便。(7)正 文(Body of the Letter)正文的每段开头可以用缩行式(Indented Form),也可用并列式(blocked form),由于电脑普及,为了方便,并列式被广泛使用,这也包括信函的其它所有项口,如日期、事由、结尾套语等都紧贴信纸左边开始。为清楚起见,采用并列式的各项目之间,通常空一行,正文的各段之间也空一行。函件只写在信纸的一面,很少两面都用。如果正文较长,一页纸不够,第二页应至少有一行正文,不可没有正文而只有一个签名。第一页最后一行的右边写上to be continued。第二页信纸不用信头,颜色、大小应与第一页相同。第二页第一行要写上收信者单位、页数和日期,如:Collins Telecom Company,2 March 24,2005。(8)结 尾 套 语(Complimentary Close)结尾套语是写信人对收信人所表示的一种谦称,只占一行,低于正文一、二行,放在信的右或左下角。如采用并列式,则紧贴左边。第一个词的开头字母要大写,末尾要用逗号。在商业书信中,最常见的结尾套语有:Yours faithfully,Faithfully yours,Yours truly,Trulyyours,也可用 Yburs sincerely,Sincerely yours.(9)签 名(Signature)写信人应在结尾套语之下签上姓名。业务书信和较正式的个人书信通常签上仝名,不能只用缩略字母。如果是打字,在打好的姓名之匕仍需手写签上自己的姓名,以表示郑重,使收信人相信信件的真实性。签 名 卜.面可以写上自己的职称或头衔。例如:Truly yours,(Signature)Alfred Johnson,Office ManagerSouth Philadelphia Mobiles Company(1 0)经办人代号(Reference Notation)经办人代号是由信件口授者(dictator)和秘书(或打字员)的姓名的首写字母组成,用冒号或斜线号分开,如:FCM/HL,FCM:HL,FCM/hl,fcm:hL信件打上经办人代号是为了提供此信件产生的信息资料,便于必要时杳对之用。(1 1)附 件(Enclosure)信中如有附件,则在签名下方左下角注上Enc.或Encl。其复数形式是Ends.。附件有两件以上时,应注明数字。如附件特别重要,应给以简短的标题,例如:Ends:1.Annual Report 2 copies2.List of Major Accounts3.Profit and Loss Statement(1 2)抄 送(Carbon Copy)如本信有抄件寄第三者,则打上C.C.或cc字样,然后写上第三者的名称和地址(有的只写名称,不写地址)。例如:C.C:Rotic Co.341 Queen AvenueYakima Wa.98902cc to:CEOcc:Mr Carl MasonCopy to:Sales ManagerCopies to:directors(1 3)附 言(P.S.)附言用于补写要叙述的事情。一般地说,正式信件最好少用或不用。附言有时也可用来强调或提醒一些信中特别重要的内容。I V.Make corrections in the form at of the following business letter:I NTEGRATED COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY CO.LTD.Rm 808,Kyo-Won-Kong-Jea 35-2

trade is the exchange of goods and services produced in one country forgoods and services produced in another country.In addition to visible trade,which involvesthe import and export of goods and merchandise,there is also invisible trade,which involvesthe exchange of services between nations.Nations such as Greece and Norway have largemaritime fleets and provide transportation service.This is a kind of invisible trade.Invisibletrade can be as important to some nations as the export of raw materials or commodities isto others.In both cases,the nations earn the money to buy necessities.(B)There is no country in the world that can produce all the products it needs.Thus countriesjoin in international division of labor for effective production and reproduction.Sometimes acountry can buy goods and services from abroad on a barter(易货)basis.Barter means doingbusiness by exchanging goods of one sort for goods of another sort without using money.Barter trade itself is not enough to meet a countrys import needs.But as a form ofinternational trade,it is still attractive in developing countries where foreign exchange is inshort supply and inflow of foreign funds is far from sufficient to meet their obligations inexternal trade.(C)There is only a small proportion of service activity in international trade.By their verynature,services are much less tradable than goods since services have to be consumed at thepoint where they are produced.This means that either the supplier of a service must move towhere the consumer is located,or the consumer must move to where the producer is located.Only a small proportion of services are capable of being traded like goods with neither theproducer nor the consumer being required to move.For example,transport services,banking,insurance and education.(D)Dear Sirs,Your company has kindly introduced to us by Mr Nelson,the president of Autos Company,as prospective buyers of Chinese Agricultural Machines.As this item falls within the scope ofour business activities,we shall be pleased to enter into direct trade relations with you at anearly date.To give you a general idea of the various kinds of products we handle,we enclose abrochure and a price list.Quotations and sample books will be airmailed to you on receipt ofyour specific enquiry.We look forward to your favorable reply.Yours
