一 文法上
1 切忌主客不分或模糊
例子: Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment。”
应改为:Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment。 (We决定呀, 不是report。)
2 句子不要凌碎
例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts。 Because of our previous objections about compliance。 应该连在一起。
3 结构对称,令人容易理解
例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings。
应改为: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract。
4 单众数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒服
例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance。
5 动词主词要呼应。 想想这两个分别
1)This is one of the public-relations functions that is underbudgeted。
2)This is one of the public-relations functions, which are underbudgeted。
6 时态和语气不要转变太多。
看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费人家的精力啊。
7 标点要准确。
例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment。
改为: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment。
8 选词正确。
好像affect和effect, operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
9 拼字正确。
有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒。
10 大小写要注意。
非必要不要整个字都是大写,除非要骂人。例如: MUST change to OS immediately。 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。 要强调的话,用底线,斜字,粗体就可以了。
