电子邮件英语（范例15篇）

电子邮件英语1

Dear Sir,

电子邮件英语（范例15篇）

　　I saw your advertisement for "the perfect lighter" in Sunday Times last week and immediately sent off a ￡2 postal order and the completed form for the lighter.

　　Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches! I could understand a mistake. I might even pardon a joke. But in this case, your advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the coupon got the same result.

　　I think it's a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are not selling a lighter a1 all. Instead of saying it works quickly, you should admit that you are offering matches. And what about "only" ￡2: I usually pay 10 pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.

　　I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send me my money back immediately. Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure the Consumers' Association hear about it.

　　Yours faithfully,

　　Peter Li

　　一、商务英语电子邮件的格式

　　常见的商务英语电子邮件包括以下五部分：

　　①写信人Email地址、收信人Email地址、抄送收信人Email地址、密送收信人Email地址。②标题。③称呼、开头、正文、结尾句。④礼貌结束语。⑤写信人全名、写信人职务及所属部门、地址、电话号码、传真等。

　　其中邮件主题应体现邮件主旨，要引人注目、意思明确，最好为名词或动名词短语；称呼礼貌得体，符合商务英语写作习惯，如不知对方姓名只知头衔，可用 Dear+Title作为称呼，如只知对方姓名不知性别，可用Dear+全名，如邮件为一封通函，则用DearAll作为邮件称呼；正文应结构清楚，便于阅读，如正文内容较长，可使用小标题、小段落，或利用星号、下划线及段落间空行等方式使邮件眉目清楚、一目了然。

　　二、商务英语电子邮件写作应遵循的六大原则

　　1、亲切自然：可以用We 就不要用You

　　每一封email往来，都是你和与收信人之间的交流。很多人以为写商业e-mail就应该用「生意腔」，于是把本来有感情基础的e-mail写得官样。

　　把每次e-mail往来当成是跟对方进行了一次交谈，只不过交谈的`界面是e-mail。用我／我们做主词，这样才能让email读起来热情、友善，像朋友交谈那样简单自然，亲切又人性化。官样e-mail：Your mail has been received.

　　亲切e-mail：I have received your mail.

　　官样e-mail：Your complaint is being looked into.

　　亲切e-mail：We are looking into your complaint.

　　2、一针见血：可以清楚就不要模糊

　　写email最忌讳文绉绉，要打电话给人就用call，要去拜访人就说visit，不要刻意用自以为正式但其实意思模模糊糊的字。

　　模糊字：contact

　　清楚字：call／write／visit

　　模糊字：soon

　　清楚字：by March 15

　　3、言简意赅：可以一个字就不要两个字

　　大部份商业人士跟你一样，每天都要阅读大量e-mail。所以e-mail一定要写得简明扼要。与主题无关或者无助于e-mail目的之内容，请毫不留情的舍弃。

　　冗长句：The paper jam had the effect of a destructive force on the copy machine. 精简句：The paper jam destroyed the copy machine.

　　冗长句：We have enclosed a brochure which shows further details of manufacture. 精简句：The enclosed brochure shows further manufacture details.

　　4、语汇朴实：用对方看得懂的关键字

　　每个行业都有自己的行话，写e-mail时要确定别人懂不懂你的行话，也尽量不用华丽词藻。西方人习惯使用朴实的语言。

　　迂回句：We look forward to a bright and glorious future of cooperation.

　　朴实句：We hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.

　　迂回句：The choice of exogenous variables in relation to multi-collinearity is contingent upon the derivations of certain multiple correlation coefficients.

　　朴实句：Supply determines demand.

　　5、有技巧的表达：永远让人觉得you're helpful

　　同样一件事说法不同，得到回应就不同，有技巧的说法让人乐于为你效劳。

　　拙劣说法：Obviously, if you’d read your policy carefully, you’d be able to answer these questions yourself.

　　漂亮说法：I'm glad to clear up these questions for you.

　　拙劣说法：In order to complete the claim you made, simply..

　　漂亮说法：To complete your transaction,..

　　6、下一个专业的信件标题

　　许很多人没有意识到，e-mail的标题是很重要的一部分，邮件给对方的第一印象就是透过标题来完成。如果标题没有内容，看起来像群组垃圾邮件，命运就是直接进入垃圾桶。不专业标题：How are you?

　　专业标题：Introduction: Our Product Offerings for Bright Ideas Imports

　　不专业标题：Can we work together?

　　专业标题：Proposal: Bright Ideas Imports—ABC's Partnership Opportunity

电子邮件英语3

　　"here comes uncles letter!" i shouted happily. but this letter was different from those he sent to me before. it was an email! my uncle went to the united states long ago. but he cared about my study and life very much. so he wrote me often. but it would take a long time for his letter to arrive.

　　several years later, my family set up a telephone set, it became easier for us to communicate, but we cost more money by calling each other. now we both had a computer and could get on the intemet. then we could talk to each other any time we wanted to, and it wouldnt cost much.the world is changing, and it is changing better and better.

　　Dear Allen,

　　I've got your E-mail. Thank you for your rapid reply! You know what that was my first time to write an E-mail, and it was so fun! I even wrote the wrong address at the first time .How silly I am! About the E-mail you sent me, the flash game is so interesting，and I forward it to my classmate. Everybody says it's the best game they ever played. It's so nice of you to send me the game. Where did you find the game? By the way, would you like to see a movie with me this Saturday? I hear that there is a cool movie and I have two tickets. Please give me the answer before Friday, so that I can make the plan.

　　PS: Can you tell me how to beat the game or give me the work through? Thanks.

　　Best regards,

　　电子邮件email的邮件格式

　　英文书信是一种最常用的应用文体，对于普通的私人信件通常由五部分组成：

　　1.信头：指发信人的地址和日期。写在信纸的右上角，可以从靠近信纸的中央写起。信头上面要留空白。先写发信人地址。地址的写法与汉语不同，要先写小地方，后写大地方。在地址的下面写上日期。日期的顺序是：月、日、年，或者：日、月、年。例如：may 17 XX。在年份之前有一个逗号。

　　2.称呼：指对收信人的称呼。写在信头之下，从信纸的左边开始。写信给熟悉的人，一般用dear…或my dear…作称呼。如：dear li lei，dear miss thomas或my dear dad.

　　3.信的正文：指信的主体部分。从称呼的下一行第一段顶边写。从第二段起每段第一个词都缩进3或5个字母写。

　　4.结束语：指正文下面的`结尾客套话。一般从信纸的中央靠右写起，第一个字母大写，末尾用一逗号。在非正式的社交信中，常用yours或sincerely。假如对方是亲密的朋友，可用sincerely yoursyours等。

　　5.签名：指发信人签名。写在结束语的下面，稍偏右。

　　二、商务英语电子邮件写作应遵循的五c原则

　　商务英语电子邮件的正文写作应该遵循五c原则，即correctness、conciseness、complete、clarity和courtesy原则。

　　准确原则

　　由于商务英语电子邮件涉及的是商务活动双方的权利、义务关系，其准确性对商务治理与沟通至关重要。具体而言，不仅电子邮件的英语语法、标点符号和拼写要做到准确无误，电子邮件内容还要叙述准确，以免引起误会纠纷。

　　简洁原则

　　简洁原则是商务英语写作最重要的原则，指在不影响完整性和礼貌性的前提下，尽量使用简单句子和简短词语。一封拖沓冗长、措词复杂的电子邮件既浪费写的时间，也会给阅读者带来不必要的麻烦，故商务英语电子邮件应以简明扼要为第一要务。

　　在具体写作中，商务英语电子邮件呈现出的句法特征是句子结构简单明了，有大量省略句和不完整句。其词汇特征是用语简洁，语言简明扼要。

　　另外，为了节约时间和空间，电子邮件中可使用缩略语，如u表示you，pls表示please，info表示information，qty表示quantity，p“c表示piece，l“c表示letterofcredit，fob表示freeonboard。

　　例1 it is very difficult to sell man hole covers in france.this product must have the quality certificate issued in france.

　　例2 price：fob shanghai usd 96“pc.

　　例3 hope you can accept it.

　　例1中的两个单句具有明显的因果关系，但写并不使用表达因果关系的`连接词如since、because，这种舍长句、复合句，选短句、简单句，喜并列、弃从属的句法特征在商务英语电子邮件写作中十分常见。例2中缩略语的使用，例3中不完整句的选择，反映了与普通商务信函相比，商务电子邮件更倾向于非正式文体，更为口语化。

　　完整原则

　　商务电子邮件内容应力求具体、明确、完整，提供读者所需要的信息，尤其像盘、询问贸易条件等需要回函的电子邮件，更需要清楚完整，因为只有包含具体信息的邮件，才能达到良好的沟通效果。邮件是否完整，可以用5w1h来检验，即who，when，where，what，why和how。

　　清楚原则

　　商务英语电子邮件的写作要做到层次清楚，用词准确。具体表现在：

　　例1 we will deliver your goods soon.

　　例2 中significant一词意为明显的、不小的，语义模糊，故可以用具体数字替换。例2中soon表示不久、很快，语义不明确，没有指出具体的供货时间，可改为具体的年月日。

　　礼貌原则

　　商务英语电子邮件应遵循措词婉转、礼貌的原则。鉴于电子邮件直接影响到整个交易的成败，买卖双方应十分注重措辞方式，要婉转、礼貌，使对方轻易接受。在写作电子邮件时，可以通过使用虚拟语气、委婉语气等方法迂回地表达观点，提出要求。

　　例1 if it is not for the larger orders we receive from a numbero four regular customers，we could not have quoted for supplies even at that price.

　　例2 i would appreciate it if you could give me your best quotations for 65，000 pieces.

　　例1中虚拟语气和例2中委婉语气的使用，缓和了商务谈判的语气，既明确了自己的立场，又使对方的面子免于受损，语气自然诚恳，礼貌得体，很轻易为对方接受。

Dear Sirs：

　　Thank you for your letter of 20 January 20xx. We are disappointed to hear that our price for Flame cigarette lighters is too high for you to work on. You mention that Japanese goods are being offered to you at a price approximately 10% lower than that quoted by us.

　　We accept what you say，but we are of the opinion that the quality of the other makes does not measure up to that of our products.

　　Although we are keen to do business with you，we regret that we cannot accept your counter offer or even meet you half way.

　　The best we can do is to reduce our previous quotation by 2%. We trust that this will meet with your approval.We look forward to hearing from you.

　　Yours faithfully，

　　Dear Sir，

　　I am writing to you for the mobile phone of Dephone—S250 I bought on 20th Apr。20xx at Tele Mall in Wuhan， P。R。 China。 Ten days after that， it didn’t ring and send short messages。 Then I took it to the seller， but was told that the model had been sold out and I had to wait at least three months for a new one。 I had no choice but to go to the repairman。 To my disappointment ，he said since it was a new model in China， it was impossible to fix it without the right spare parts。 I was so desperate on hearing that for I can not wait that long。 Therefore， I have to require that you send me a new one of the same model within a month。

　　Thank you for your consideration。

　　Sincerely yours，

Dear Sir,

　　I am highly disappointed in the proposed 20xx-05 budget cuts to educa1ion. Taking away basic aid status and slashing our school budgets is a recipe for educational disaster in our school. The future lies with our children. They must have access to high quality educa1ion.

　　My husband and I have worked hard to be able to live in a school district that provides high quality education for our children. Cutting funding in districts like ours will have a negative impact on property values.

　　The school that my daughter attends is hardly wha1 I would describe as a "rich" school. Parents are asked to pay for books for all the classes, science supplies and for their students to participate in the performing arts among other items. If our school is to remain a world leader in technological development, cutting our school funds is the worst possible choice to make.

　　Education funds should not be diverted away from education.

　　Yours faithfully,

　　Tom Williams

　　Dear Robert:

　　How time flies! The happy days we shared often shines in my memory. What about you? As you know, my college entrance exam is approaching, which also announces the end of this sort of pressing study life. However，I intend to have a meaningful summer vacation. First, I will learn to drive to get a driving license, which is a new activity for a high school graduate in China. I will have a good rest, enjoying my hobbies. Then I will take some English courses to improve my English communication ability, With the 2008 Olympics beginning, I will be a participant of it, watching the basketball match between China and the US. I have been dreaming of Kobe’s performance long. After that, I will pay a visit to some tourist attractions to widen my horizon.

　　That is the plan for my vacation. I am looking forward to being told about your arrangements of vacation. Give me your quick reply soon, OK?

　　Best wishes!

　　There is a new sort of party being thrown by cool people in California. The idea is that you invite your friends and colleagues over, crack open a bottle of wine, blast out a groovy playlist, then settle down with your laptop to clean up your emails.

　　现在加州的潮人们热衷于召开一种新型派对。其基本模式是，邀请好友以及同事来到自己家中，打开一瓶美酒，播放一个动听的音乐列表，然后大家拿着各自的笔记本电脑安顿下来开始清理电子邮件。

　　The concept of the “inbox zero party” comes from Randi Zuckerberg (sister of Mark) and is possibly the grimmest idea for a social gathering ever invented. Even the Tupperware party starts to look a glittering intellectual salon by comparison.

　　“收件箱清零派对”的创意来自兰迪-扎克伯格（马克-扎克伯格的姐姐），并且很可能是有史以来最糟糕的社交聚会创意。相比之下，即使特百惠派对都开始显得像是闪闪发光的知识分子沙龙。

　　Ms Zuckerberg says unread emails weigh on her soul. In that case, the answer isn’t a party – it’s to tell her soul to get a grip. There are 2,347 unread messages in my two inboxes and my soul is coping fine. I glance at the emails as they come in, and depending on who they are from and what the subject line says, I open them. Otherwise I tend not to.

　　兰迪-扎克伯格表示，未读的电子邮件会使她的精神产生负担。对于这种情况，解决办法并非开个派对，而是告诉她自己学会控制情绪。现在我的两个电子邮箱中共有2347封未读邮件，而我在精神上并没有感到什么压力。我会在收到邮件时瞟上一眼，根据发件人是谁以及标题栏的内容选择是否阅读邮件。否则的话我倾向于不读邮件。

　　Ms Zuckerberg suggests that to get into the party mood all her guests start with a “vent about how you hate drowning in email”. The trouble with this is that venting about email is even more boring than venting about the weather. Absolutely everyone does it – even the people who were responsible for giving us email in the first place. Dave Coplin, a “chief envisioning officer” at Microsoft UK, has just written a book about business being broken, and one of the most broken things is email. We are slaves to it, he moans.

　　兰迪-扎克伯格称，为了营造派对氛围，她的所有宾客都要把抱怨“自己如何讨厌花费大把时间处理电子邮件”作为开场白。这种做法的问题在于，抱怨电子邮件甚至比抱怨天气还要无聊。无疑人人都会这么做，包括一开始带给我们电子邮箱的那些人。戴夫-科普林是微软英国公司的“首席构想官”，他最近刚写了一本关于被瓦解的事物的新书，而电子邮件正是最为破碎的东西之一。他感叹称，我们都是电子邮件的奴隶。

　　Last week I went to a talk given by a woman on how to do it better. As I listened, I realised that we should all resolve never again to moan about how email drags us under: instead we should remind ourselves of how it allows us to float. Its particular genius is that it allows me to pretend to be super-organised without lifting a finger.

　　上周我去聆听了一位女士的演讲，主题是如何更好地使用电子邮件。在听演讲的过程中，我意识到我们都应下定决心永远不再抱怨电子邮件是如何占用了我们的时间；正相反，我们应当提醒自己电子邮件是如何使我们能够应付过来。电子邮件最绝的一点在于，它使我们能够不用抬一抬手指就装出一副非常有条理的样子。

　　I have no folders, no system of organisation. That is because I don’t need one. The search function is so obliging that everything anyone has ever sent me can be left lying around higgledy-piggledy in the cloud and it will locate it again in a jiffy.

　　我没有在电子邮箱中设立文件夹，也没有用于整理资料的系统。这是因为我没有这个需要。邮箱搜索功能是如此有用，以至于任何人发给过我的任何东西都可以杂乱无章地存放在存储云中，而通过搜索功能又可以一瞬间将其找到。

　　I’ve also learnt how to filter messages, and in the past week have delighted in installing a draconian blocking system. All PRs, all stalkers, almost all group emails and even a couple of colleagues have now been denied access to my inbox. All out-of-office replies and everything from LinkedIn are blocked, so I will never again see messages saying “XX has added a new skill!”. I even block the daily email from the canteen telling me that it’s toad in the hole and spotted dick on the menu tonight.

　　我还学会了如何过滤信息，并在过去的一周当中很开心地安装了一个严格的屏蔽系统。我的邮箱现在拒收所有公关邮件和骚扰邮件，几乎所有的群发邮件，甚至少数几个同事的邮件。所有“不在办公室”的回复以及来自LinkedIn的邮件都被屏蔽了，因此我再也不用读到声称“某某人又增添了一项新技能！”的信息了，我甚至屏蔽了每日来自食堂的邮件，信中通常会告诉我晚餐的菜单包括面托烤香肠以及葡萄干布丁。

　　Between 15 and 50 messages a day now make it past these filters. To these, I reply when I see fit – which might be immediately or might be never. The only messages I try to reply to at once are about things to which the answer is no. These are the emails that drag on my soul, and so in order to inflict minimum damage I’ve learnt how to say, “No thanks” at the double.

　　通过这些过滤设置，我现在每天大约收到15至50封邮件。对于这些邮件，我会在我认为恰当的时候做出回复——我可能立刻回信，也可能永远不会回信。唯一一类我会设法立刻回复的邮件都是关于一些需要我做出否定回应的事。这些邮件会对我的.精神造成负担，因此为了尽可能地减小损害，我已经学会了如何尽可能快地回复“谢谢，不用了”。

　　I realise there is something unseemly in admitting to not drowning in email. It is tantamount to saying: I’m not very important or very popular. Popular and important people have a bigger problem than I do, so much so that some of them have elected to build email life rafts on which they can remain afloat. Having done so, they are keen to tell us about it.

　　我意识到，承认电子邮件并未占用自己太多时间存在一些不合宜之处。这等于是在说：我既不是很重要，也不是很受欢迎。既受欢迎又很重要的人物在电子邮件上面临的麻烦比我要大得多，以至于他们中的某些人选择建造“电子邮件救生筏”来保护自己不被电子邮件淹没。在做过了这些事情以后，他们也很乐于和大家谈起。

　　Tony Hsieh, chief executive of Zappos, has called his raft “Yesterbox”, as every day he makes himself tackle the previous day’s messages. In a recent blog he explains that the beauty of this system is that the task is always finite – and he gets a sense of triumph when he’s done. When I read about his wheeze, I thought it sounded vaguely familiar. And then I realised I, too, used to wait a day before replying. We all did: it was called the postal system.

　　鞋业零售商Zappos的首席执行官谢家华就把自己的电子邮件救生筏取名为“昨日箱”，因为他每天都会处理前一天的邮件。在近期的一篇博客中他解释道，这个系统的美妙之处在于，需要处理的任务数量总是有限的——当他完成任务时总是能够获得一种成就感。当我读到他的自白时，我隐约产生了一种似曾相识的感觉。随后我意识到，自己以前也曾等到一天以后方才回复。我们都曾这么做过：这种模式的名称叫做邮政系统。

　　Fortunately, I’m now one step ahead: now that I’m such a whizz at blocking my email I’ve added a new filter that rejects everything that says “automatic reply”. And then, just to be on the safe side, I’ve also blocked any message that says “Slow is the new Fast”. Because it isn’t.

　　幸运的是，现在我已经向前迈出了一步：鉴于我已如此擅于为我的邮箱设置屏蔽，我又增加了一项过滤设置，拒收任何包含“自动回复”的邮件。然后出于安全考虑，我还屏蔽了任何包含“慢是新时代的快”的邮件。因为事实并非如此。
