4、排，恕本人屆時(shí)不能參加，不勝抱歉。有幸會見來訪小組的成員，十分高興。衷心希望他們在我國的訪問愉快，并有所裨益。此致敬禮！你忠實(shí)的鮑勃亞當(dāng)斯公函英語的交流目的是磋商公務(wù)，重點(diǎn)和中心思想必須突出，一目了然。由于公函一般談的都是公事，因此使用正式英語，用詞力求簡潔、準(zhǔn)確、莊重，避免空泛，講求記實(shí)（factual）。公函尾首大都按固定程式行文，使用套語，講究規(guī)格。Thank you for your letter dated.X日來函收悉，致謝。Your early reply will be appreciated.即復(fù)為盼。You are requested to kindly look into

6、s possible.鑒于對我方貨物之殷需，建議你方盡快做出決定并向我方下單。We shall appreciate it very much if you would send us the relative control documents.如蒙貴方寄送有關(guān)控制文件，本方則不勝感激。We regret to inform you that we are unable to what you required now.很遺憾，目前無法提供所需商品，特此通知。由于公函往來多屬磋商、答詢公務(wù)，往往涉及愿望、允諾、贊許、建議、催促、詢問、拒絕、辯解或申述、質(zhì)問、譴責(zé)等等，情態(tài)比較豐富，但在表達(dá)上

7、一般都比較婉轉(zhuǎn)、含蓄、盡量保持“公事公辦的持重感”（businesslike poise）。We should be grateful/ obliged if you could provide us with all possible information on your market.We wish to draw your attention to the fact that the buyers are in urgent need of the contracted goods.Your quotation sheet for Black Tea has been received

9、 the goods obtained in your last shipment not up to the agreed standard.As soon as we have booked the necessary shipping space, we shall advise you of the name of the steamer and the shipment date without delay.由于公函英語重在記實(shí)，譯文總的要求是不求虛飾但求簡明、嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、準(zhǔn)確，特別是事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)（包括日期、數(shù)量、代號等等）不應(yīng)疏漏，以免貽誤工作。公函文體目前雖有平易化的趨勢，但總的說來仍是一

10、種比較正式的拘謹(jǐn)文體，不容許揮灑自如，函件中的情態(tài)雖常有變化，但一般在表述上都很婉轉(zhuǎn)。漢語公文及公函用語和行文都講求端重，常用文言詞語，套語亦多。常用的公函詞語如“收悉、承蒙、乞諒、見告、為盼、賜復(fù)”等等現(xiàn)在還可酌情使用。翻譯公函全文時(shí)請保留英語正式書信程式，不必套用中國傳統(tǒng)舊式。在實(shí)際工作中，公函使用者往往不要求將函件全譯，而只需摘譯。正確(Correctness)清晰(Clearness)簡明(Conciseness)完整(Completeness) 禮貌(Courtesy)。Dear Mr/Ms, This is to introduce Mr Frank Jones ,our new
