来英国时候,大家都会发现在这里的沟通方式与国内很不一样。在国内,想修个手机,点个外卖,或者咨询个什么问题,大家最习惯地就是直接搜索电话,然后打过去干净利落地询问清楚。而在英国,所有的沟通方式都变慢了——写邮件成为了最常见也最被接受的沟通方式。约签证、约网球课、约家政中心,都得靠写邮件,更不用说平时在学校和老师Faculty之间的邮件交流以及工作上每天8个小时满满的邮件交流。

如果你也觉得写邮件对你来说是个大难题,每次都会因为用语用词结构而纠结很久,明明想表达地特别礼貌但是语气很容易让人产生误会,那么这篇职场术语文章你一定要看,今天我们来分享一些好用的句子和结构,拯救你干扁的英文邮件

最常见的英文邮件结构

邮件的最最基础,是邮件的结构。

英文邮件结构很固定,为了表示礼貌和正式,邮件的格式一定要遵循。

称呼

问候

正文

结尾

落款

1. 称呼

称呼很简单,一般都是Dear xxx,如果不知道名字的话也可以写Dear Sir or Madam.

2. 问候

问候语很多时候大家都会忘了,在Dear xxx之后直接另起一行开始说I want xxxx,这样让读者读起来觉得很没有礼貌。一句问候语能够让读者觉得首先你是很有礼貌的人,其次会让整封邮件变得十分正式和妥帖。

常见的问候语有

● I hope you had a good weekend.(适用于周一)

● I hope you had a great trip/Hope you had a nice break/Hope you're enjoying your holiday (适用于对方刚刚休假回来)

● I hope you are well/I hope all is well/I hope this email finds you well(通用好句)

● I'm glad we had a chance to chat at the convention/It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday (适用于不久才刚刚见过)

3. 正文

在问候语之后,就可以进入正文了。写邮件之前一定要明确自己写邮件的目的,是有求于人还是询问信息,这个写邮件的目的一定要清晰地在第一句表达出来。

如果要约会议:

● I am writing to propose a meeting with you tomorrow at xx

如果要follow up之前的事情

● I am writing you to follow up on...

● I am contacting you to inform...

● I am reaching out because...

如果因为某事需要礼貌地道歉

● Sorry for my late reply.

● Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

● I apologize for the late response.

● Sorry it’s been so long since my last email.

第一句正文表达完本次邮件的目的之后,接下来就是围绕着你的目的,慢慢阐述你的理由等等,让你邮件的目的更加清晰合理。

● I would be really appreciated if you can...

● Would you mind helping me...?

● If possible, I'd like to know (more) about...

●I didn't quite get your point about xxx. Could you be more specific?

4. 结尾

希望对方快速回复

● I look forward to hearing from you soon.

● Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
