1、第二讲第二讲各种社交书信写作各种社交书信写作General Introduction 书信是传递信息、交流情感最常用的方式之一，特别是在当今日益增长的涉外活动中，英文书信尤其必不可少。什么样的英文书信能让收信人准确地理解写信人的意图，而又得体的传达情感呢？首先应做到清楚（ Clarity）。书信的内容一定要写得清楚、准确，让人读后能明确理解写信人的目的、意图、其二应做到简洁（Conciseness）。在人们的工作、生活中，大家都很容易接受简洁、通顺的语言，而繁杂冗长的语言只会令人生厌。所以写书信时应该避繁就简，用简短的段落、简短的句子来构成一篇简短易懂的书信。其三应做到礼貌（Courtesy）
2、。书信应写得得体、有礼貌，同时要朴实，不要使人感到做作、虚伪。这就是书信得3C原则。 书信的种类很多，本讲只介绍邀请信、感谢信、祝贺信、慰问信、吊唁信、道歉信、投诉信等七种第一节第一节 邀请信邀请信 邀请信是邀请某人进午餐、晚餐，参加宴会、茶话会、舞会，观看戏剧、电影及邀请参加学术活动、出席仪式、典礼等社交活动的信函。根据社交活动的性质、场合不同，通常运用不同的邀请方式。（其中之一是请柬，我们在“卡片英语”中已作介绍） 1 1。邀请参加宴会。邀请参加宴会 Dear Tom, We are planning a dinner party to celebrate the thirtieth an

8、ne 另一种常见的邀请信是邀请参加会议、学术活动、典礼、仪式等。邀请参加学术会议的信一般由会议组委会某一负责人来写。也应写得热情有礼，并对被邀请者得威望和学术水平等表示推崇和赞誉。应写明会议得名称、时间、地点寄有关事宜，以便对方考虑好后再作决定。 Dear Professor Zhou, On behalf of the Ohio State University and the IEEE Computer Society, I would be very pleased to invite you to attend and chair a session of the forthcomin

16、opportunity of meeting you and many others in the field of Computer Science. I wish the conference a complete success. Faithfully yours, Zhou Lin第二节 感谢信 感谢信是用来对馈赠礼物者或曾经得到某人得关怀、照顾表示感谢。对他人得慰问信、祝贺信也要表示感谢。在西方国家，当你在朋友或亲友处小住一段时间，离开后，也应该给对方写一封短信表示感谢。感谢信应写得真挚，表达感激之情，不能给人一种草率得印象，由于感谢得对象、原因不同，感谢得内容不同，用语也不一样，应

Sincerely, William第四节 慰问信 当友人生病、受伤或者遇到了不幸贺不顺心的事时，特别需要别人的安慰贺鼓励。因此，写慰问信是为了表达友谊、同情和鼓励。应写得真诚和关切，使对方受到安慰和鼓舞。千万不要提到病人疾病得细节，及挫折得具体事实。 Dear Joe, I was sorry to learn that you
27、 had not been successful in the examination. Although Im sending you my sympathy I fell you ought not to be unduly distressed at the result.

33、认真、措辞严谨，不能用华丽得词藻，而且要避免提及故去人生病和死亡得细节，以免使收信人感到再度悲伤。 Dear Mrs. Strala, It was a profound shock and sorrow that I learned of the death of your husband and I know that these feelings are shared by all who know him and worked with him during his years with this firm. Please accept the deepest sympathy of
34、all your husbands former colleagues here, and of myself personally. Yours sincerely, Duda Dear Margaret, Today I heard you had lost your father.

Best regards!Yours truly, Li Feng第七节 投诉信 当顾客对服务不满意，或者对所购买的产品不满意时，都由投诉得权利。写投诉信时应说明投诉的事实，且要证据充分；明确提出自己的要求。但也不能太蛮横无理。 Dear Manager, Im a customer of your hotel. Last night I opened the heating system of my room. However, at midnight, I found it too cold
