商务英语写作常用语句

在商务邮件中出现非正式的缩写，例如避免把you缩写成u，把are缩写成r，把because缩写成cuz，，因为这样会给人造成懒惰或者不够严谨认真的印象。下面介绍商务英语写作常用语句，希望可以帮助到各位。

1.“to make…of”的译法(使……成为……，把……当作)I will make a scientist of my son.

2. oo…+不定式“，not(never)too…+不定式”，“too…not+不定式She is too angry to speak.

3. only(not, all, but, never) too …to do so ”和“too ready (apt) + to do”结构中，不定式也没有否定意义，凡是“not”，“all”“but等字后+”too…to，“不定式都失去了否定意义，在”too ready(apt) +to do“结构中，不定式也没有否定意义。

You know but too yell to hold your tongue.

4. ”no more …than…“句型A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is a man.

5. ”not so much…as“和”not so much as …“结构，”not so much…as“=”not so much as …“，其中as有进可换用but rather，可译为：”与其说是……毋须说是……“。而”not so much as“=”without(not)even，“可译为”甚至……还没有“。

The oceans do not so much divide the world as unite it .

6. ”Nothing is more…than“和”Nothing is so …as“结构，”Nothing is more…than“和”Nothing is so …as“都具有最高级比较的意思，”Nothing I“可换用”no“，”nobody“，”nowhere　“，”little“，”few“，”hardly“，”scarcely“等等，可译为”没有…… 比……更为“，”像……再没有了“，”最……“等。

Nothing is more precious than time.

7. ”cannot…too…“结构，”cannot…too…“意为”It is impossible to overdo…“或者，即”无论怎样……也不算过分“。”not“可换用”hardly“，”scarcely“等，”too“可换用”enough “，”sufficient“等You cannot be too careful.

8. ”否定+but “结构，在否定词后面的”but“，具有”which not“，”who not“，”that not“，等等否定意义，构成前后的双重否定。可译成”没有……不是“或”……都……“等Nothing is so bad but it might have been worse.

9. ”否定+until (till)“结构，在否定词”no“，”not“，”never“，”little“，”few“，”seldom“等的后边所接用的”until/till“，多数情况下译为” 直到……才……“，”要……才……“，把否定译为肯定。

Nobody knows what he can do till he has tried.

10. ”not so…but“和”not such a …but“结构，这两个结构和”否定+but“的结构差不多，不同之点是这两个结构中的”but“是含有”that…not“意味的连续词，表示程度。可译为”还没有……到不能做……的程度“，”并不是……不……“，”无论怎样……也不是不能……“等。

He is not so sick but he can come to school.

11. ”疑问词+should…but “结构，这个结构表示过去的意外的事，意为”none…but“，可译为”除了……还有谁会……“，”岂料“，”想不到……竟是……“等。

12. ”who knows but (that)…“和”who could should…but“结构，这个结构是反问形式，一般意译为”多半“，”亦未可知“等等，有时也可直译。

13. ”祈使句+and“和”祈使句+or“结构，”祈使句+and“表示”If…you…“，”祈使名+or“表示”if…not…，you。

Add love to a house and you have a home. Aad righteousness to a city and you have a community. Aad truth to a pile of red brick and you have a school.

14. “名词+and”结构，在这个结构中，名词等于状语从句，或表示条件，或表示时间。

A word, and he would lose his temper.

15. “as…，so…”结构，这里的“so”的意思是“in the same way”(也是如此)。此结构表明两个概念在程度上和关系上相似。

As rust eats iron, so care eats the heart.

16. “if any”结构，“if any”和“if ever”，意思是“果真有……”，“即使有……”，表示加强语气。与此类似的还有：“if anything”(如有不同的话，如果稍有区别)，“if a day”(=at least，至少)。

There is little, if any, hope.

17. “be it ever(never)so”和“let it be ever(never)so”结构，这里，“be it”中的“be”是古英语假设语气的遗留形式，现代英语则使用“let it be”。“ever so”和“never so”都表示同一意思，都表示“very”。

Be it ever so humble (let it be ever so humble)， home is home.

18. “the last+不定式”和“the last +定语从词”结构，这种结构中的“last”意思是“the least likely”，用于否定性推论。可译为“最不大可能的”，“最不合适的”，由原意的“最后一个……”变成“最不可能……的一个”。

He is the last man to accept a bride.

19. “so…that…”句型，这个句型的意思是“如此……，以致于……”，但在翻译成汉语时，许多情况下，并不是一定要译成“如此……以致于……”，而是变通表达其含义。

He ran so fast that nobody could catch him up.

20. “more + than+原级形容词(副词)”结构，这是将不同性质加以比较，其中的“more”有“rather”的意思。

It is more than probable that he will fall.

1.用现代商务语言替代过时或陈旧的表达

商务邮件的目的在于传达信息或者说服对方，而不是参加作文竞赛评选，一定要让对方赞叹你的写作水平不可。为了达到沟通的目的，商务写作做到简洁自然，不说空话套话，用现代商务语言去替换过时或陈旧的表达。

2.使用自然、口语化的方式写作

商务邮件虽然是书面体，但它与一般的书面体(比如学术论文)不同。现代商务邮件写作提倡语言自然、流畅，就像面对面的口语交谈一样。我们可以在写作中融入一些自己的想法、个性和情感，让读者感觉到作者是一个活生生的人，而不是一台毫无感情的公文机器。

值得注意的一点是，虽然商务邮件写作提倡口语化的写作方式，但这并不意味着我们可以使用俚语和非正式的口头语。因为这些俚语和口头语只用于非正式的社交场合，不适合出现在商业场景中，例如：Keep your shirt on. 这样的非正式说法要改为 Please be patient.

同时我们也要避免在商务邮件中出现非正式的缩写(例如避免把you缩写成u，把are缩写成r，把because缩写成cuz)，因为这样会给人造成懒惰或者不够严谨认真的印象。

3.主动语态会让表达更显活力

一般情况下，在商务邮件中使用被动语态会显得语气生硬、官腔官调，使用主动语态则会更加有趣有力。

使用主动语态重点会更加突出，同时句子也会更为简洁。

当然，并不是所有的情形下都必须要使用主动语态。当动作发出的主语不明确或者不重要的情况下要使用被动语态。

举个例子，某个岛上噪音很大，而我们要强调“噪音”本身，而不是“听到噪音的人”，这时候应该说：

The noise was heard all over the island.

而不是使用主动语态：

People all over the island heard the noise.

由于在被动语态中看不出动作发出者是谁，有时候在商业中为了逃避责任或者含糊其辞，我们也会使用被动语态。例如：

An unfortunate mistake was made.

在这句话里面，错误是谁犯的并没有明说，但如果用主动语态，就意味着责任都要由“我们公司”承担。

4.动词而不是名词会让句子更生动

动词名词化(例如将avoid写成the avoidance of)会拉长句子，而且会使写出来的句子不够生动，缺少人情味。我们在写作时要尽量使用动词而不是名词。

5.短句 应该多使用

研究表明，句子的长度与人们的理解程度有直接联系。当句子的长度在15至20个单词时，首次阅读就能理解的人所占的比例为75%，当句子单词长度在27个以上时，这一比例马上降到4%。由于商务邮件讲究沟通的效率和准确性，因此应该尽量使用短句。

我们可以将它拆分为几个短句，这样更加便于理解。

1.Failure is the mother of success. 失败乃成功之母

2.Drops of water outwear the stone. 水滴石穿

3.Where there is a will, there is a way /
