商務(wù)信函的英文書寫規(guī)則(2)
（一）避免使用可能產(chǎn)生不同理解或意義不明確的詞匯
〈例一〉
As to the steamers sailing from Hongkong to San Francisco, we have bimonthly direct services.
�。◤南愀鄣脚f金山有直達船）
但是bimonthly 究竟是一個月兩次，還是兩個月一次呢？不明確。因此，最好清楚明白地說明“一個月兩次”還是“兩個月一次”：
（a）We have two direct sailings every month from Hongkong to San Francisco.
�。吭聝纱沃边_船）
（b）We have semimonthly direct sailing from Hongkong to San Francisco.
�。堪朐乱淮沃边_船）
（c）We have a direct sailing from Hongkong to San Francisco every two month.
�。績蓚�月一次直達船）
（二）注意修飾詞的位置，有時修飾詞的位置不同，會導(dǎo)致不同的含意如：
（a）Please let us know what you wish us to do about this matter as soon as possible:
（b）Please let us know as soon as possible what you wish us to do about this matter.
以上兩句中修飾的內(nèi)容不同：
（a） 你們要求我們盡快做些什么。
（b） 請盡快告訴我們。
所以 （a） 可譯成“請告訴你們要求我們?yōu)榇吮M快做些什么”；
（b） 可譯為“請盡快告知，你們要我們?yōu)榇耸伦鲂┦裁础薄?/p>
（三） 注意代名詞，關(guān)系代詞和先行詞的關(guān)系
按照英語習(xí)慣，句子中的代名詞和關(guān)系代詞一般是指離得最近的名詞，因此要特別注意，以免引起誤解或不清楚。
例句：
不好： They informed Messrs.John & Smith that they would receive an answer in a few days.
較好： They informed Messrs. John & Smith that latter would receive an answer in a few days.
(四)注意前后一致和緊湊，連貫
不一致：Being a certified public accountant, I am sure you can help us.
一致： Being a certified public accountant, you can surely help us.
or; As you are a certified public accountant, I am sure you can help us.
（五）仔細和恰當(dāng)?shù)胤侄温洌≒aragraphing）
商業(yè)書信要寫得使人一讀就明白，因此必須按照內(nèi)容仔細和恰當(dāng)?shù)姆侄温�，一般的分段落原則是一個段落一個意思（A paragraph for each point is a good general rule.）�，F(xiàn)舉例說明：
