如何让你的邮件写的更加出彩
Business Writing: How to Write Clearly and Concisely”,感兴趣的大家自己去学习,这里我就把要点拿出来给大家分享。
Using short, familiar words; Being concrete and specific; Using appropriate connotations(内涵,含义); Revising noun clusters; Using adjectives and adverbs sparingly(谨慎的); Using transitional words and phrases; 第一,为了让读者更容易懂,要使用简单熟悉音节少的单词,比如使用additional,
demonstrate 就不如用extra,show;举个例子:
eg:Pursuant to the promulgation of the updated guidelines, addresses will be obligated to effect modifications to their passwords.
啰嗦了这一堆其实就是:
Once the guidelines are issued, you'll need to change your passwords.
第二,让你的表达更具体明确;下面就是个老板给下属写邮件的例子:
Hi Ryan,
That problem needs to be resolved.
Sam
作为下属看到这样的邮件也会头疼吧!我们看看清晰的表达应该是什么样子
Hi Ryan,
The customer complaint regarding a missing page in one of our history textbooks needs to be addressed by the end of this week.
需要解决的问题和完成的时间都表达清楚了,所以当个好老板也不容易啊!
第三,使用恰当的语气;比如 inexpensive 和cheap,虽然相同的意思,但表达出来的语气不同; We're expecting an aggressive takeover.这里用aggressive带有负面影响的意思,而assertive观点明确却能很好的表达恰当的语气。
第四,修改名词集群,就是不要把一堆名词放在一起,看例子:
eg:Planning project management considerations are outlined in the document.
令人费解吧;使用我们强大的冠词a,an,the和介词at,by,for,of,from等就能很好的解决,看修改后
Considerations of project management for planning are outlined in the document; 第五,谨慎使用形容词和副词;这不是写作文用很多修饰形容词就能拿高分,见例子:
我们去掉之后就是这样的:
有人会问难道以后就不使用形容词了么?当然不是,要clarify meaning时候需要,举例: eg:We need to carefully review the client's proposal. I want each of you to submit a 250-word assessment of the proposal.
这下清楚了吧,别急,还剩最后一条啦。
第六,使用转换词语和句子;
比如使用but however告诉读者你要从一个意思转向想反的意思;Therefore就是要到总结的时候了,可以在句子的开始中间和结尾。转换词包换几种类型:比如表达Addition意思的词有Also,and, another,besides等;
eg: My computer is broken also I can't write report.
当然还有表达Concession让步的词有Although ,certainly, even though, 表达Logical
relationship,结果导向的包括accordingly, as a result, because等,我就不在这里一一举例子了。
怎么样?还是有点收获吧,有什么意见和建议请尽情回复哈哈哈。。。
