2022年大學(xué)英語(yǔ)書信寫作要點(diǎn)(共70張PPT)課件

1、大學(xué)英語(yǔ)應(yīng)用文（書信）寫作 書信是日常生活中常用的文體，是用以交涉事宜、傳達(dá)信息、交流思想、聯(lián)絡(luò)感情、增進(jìn)了解的重要工具。英文書信分為兩大類：私人信件和公務(wù)信件。 私人信件是指親戚朋友之間的通信。這兩類書信各有自己的格式。一般說(shuō)來(lái)，私人信件不拘形式，信文多用手寫，也可打??； 公務(wù)信件是單位與單位或單位與個(gè)人之間來(lái)往的書信，可能是推薦信、求職信、入學(xué)申請(qǐng)書、邀請(qǐng)信，或詢問(wèn)、答復(fù)、反映意見(jiàn)（如投訴信）等的信件。公務(wù)信件要求比較嚴(yán)格，必須遵循一定的格式。英語(yǔ)書信的結(jié)構(gòu)：英文書信通常包括6個(gè)組成部分：信頭（heading，包括寄信人地址和日期);信內(nèi)地址（inside address，指收信人地址);

2、稱呼（salutation）;正文（body）;結(jié)束語(yǔ)（complimentary）; 簽名（signature）;有時(shí)候還包括附言（postscript）和 附件（attachment）。 在考試中，由于篇幅所限，只要求考生在書信中包括稱呼、正文、結(jié)束語(yǔ)和簽名四個(gè)部分。1. 信頭（Heading）信頭是指發(fā)信人的地址和日期，通常寫在第一頁(yè)的右上角。行首可以齊頭寫，也可以逐行縮進(jìn)寫。地址的書寫順序由小到大：門牌號(hào)、街道、城市、?。ㄖ荩?、郵編、國(guó)名，最后寫發(fā)信日期。私人信件一般只寫寄信日期即可。例如：123 Tianhe RoadTianhe DistrictGuangzhou 510620Gu

3、angdong ProvinceP. R. C.March 15, 2002 發(fā)信日期的寫法： 年份應(yīng)完全寫出，不能簡(jiǎn)寫。 月份要用英文名稱，不要用數(shù)字代替。 月份名稱多用公認(rèn)的縮寫式。但 May, June, July, 因?yàn)檩^短，不可縮寫。 寫日期時(shí)，可用基數(shù)詞1，2，3，4，5，28，29， 30，31等，也可用序數(shù)詞 lst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st等。但最好用基數(shù) 詞，簡(jiǎn)單明了。 日期可有下列幾種寫法： Oct. 20, 2004； 10 May., 2004； 3rd June, 2004； Sept. 16th, 20

4、04。其中，最為通用。2. 信內(nèi)地址（Inside Address） 信內(nèi)地址要寫收信人的姓名和地址。在公務(wù)信件中要寫明這一項(xiàng)，在私人信件中，這一項(xiàng)常常省略。該項(xiàng)寫在寫信日期下一行的左上角，格式與寄信人地址一樣。3 .稱呼（Salutation） 稱呼是對(duì)收信人的稱謂，應(yīng)與左邊線對(duì)齊，寫在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行處。在稱呼后，英國(guó)人常用逗號(hào)，美國(guó)人則常用冒號(hào)。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字，但公務(wù)信件中一定要寫收信人的姓。大部分信件在稱呼前加“Dear”。如：DearProfessor/Prof.Bergen:DearDr.Johnson,對(duì)不相識(shí)的人可按性別稱呼：DearSir:或Dea

5、rMadam:DearLadies。如果不知收信人的性別則可用DearSirorMadam:3. 信的正文（Body of the Letter） 正文是書信的主體。與中文信件不同的是，英文書信的正文的開(kāi)頭不是先寫一些問(wèn)候語(yǔ)，再闡明寫信的目的，而是直接說(shuō)明寫信人的身份及寫信的目的，然后提出寫信人的情況、想法或要求，并加以必要的解釋或說(shuō)明。英文書信陳述目的時(shí)，應(yīng)該直截了當(dāng)，意思明確，層次清楚，言簡(jiǎn)意賅。 書信正文的第一句話或第一段，通常被稱為起首語(yǔ)。一般說(shuō)來(lái)，人們習(xí)慣用一些客套的寫法作為書信正文的起始，即先將對(duì)方來(lái)信的日期、主題加以簡(jiǎn)單描述，以便使對(duì)方一看便知該信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次給

6、別人寫信，也可用開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)作必要的自我介紹，并表明自己寫信的主要目的。 正文寫作格式： 正文的寫作格式主要有英式和美式兩種。 1)英式結(jié)構(gòu)即縮進(jìn)式結(jié)構(gòu)，屬于比較傳統(tǒng)的結(jié)構(gòu),即每一段的第一行都向里縮進(jìn)4-8個(gè)字符，且所有段落的縮進(jìn)距離必須保持一致；稱呼頂格寫，落款則在中間偏右的位置。 2) 美式結(jié)構(gòu)則是齊頭式結(jié)構(gòu)，其特點(diǎn)是所有段落的第一行都頂格寫，段與段之間空一行，另外稱呼、落款等也都頂格寫。 商業(yè)信函以及電子郵件最好使用齊頭式。aNellectualability（天賦）The requirements outlined in your advertisement makes me confide

12、，第一個(gè)字母要大寫，套語(yǔ)結(jié)尾后面要加逗號(hào)。在公務(wù)信件中，發(fā)信人常用的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)有：Trulyyours, Yourstruly, Respectfullyyours, Yoursrespectfully, Faithfullyyours, Yoursfaithfully, Sincerelyyours, Yourssincerely Yours truly, Yours 等。私人信件中，發(fā)信人常用的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)有： Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son / daughter等。5. 簽名（Signature） 寫信人的

13、簽名常位于結(jié)尾禮詞正下方一二行。除非是給很熟悉的人寫信，簽名一般須寫出全名。簽名常常較潦草，不易辨認(rèn)，因此在簽名的正下方須打印出全名。各種信函類型:一、邀請(qǐng)信(ALetterofInvitation)(一) 邀請(qǐng)信的種類 英文邀請(qǐng)信可分為兩種。一種是請(qǐng)柬(invitation card)，這是一種正規(guī)的邀請(qǐng)信，格式嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)而固定，一般適用于較莊重嚴(yán)肅的場(chǎng)合。另一種是一般的邀請(qǐng)信，適用于一些平常的事情的邀請(qǐng)，通常邀請(qǐng)人同被邀請(qǐng)人之間比較熟悉，這種邀請(qǐng)信具有簡(jiǎn)短、熱情的特點(diǎn)。（二）邀請(qǐng)信的寫法1.活動(dòng)名稱及目的 寫明邀請(qǐng)對(duì)方參加什么活動(dòng)，以及邀請(qǐng)的原因和目的等。2.活動(dòng)細(xì)節(jié)及注意事項(xiàng) 寫明活動(dòng)安排的細(xì)
