2010商务英语BEC中级写作PartOne样题实例解析

2010-09-14来源:和谐英语
导读:本文从商务英语BEC中级写作PartOne样题实例解析来给广大考生展示商务写作的方法与技巧!   解释原因:
  连词:because, since, for, so;短语:because of, due to, owing to
  表示感谢:
  Thank you very much for...; I would like to thank you for...; I am very grateful for...; It was very kind of you to ...
  奖励:
  A rise in salary of X%; A bonus of X% of your monthly salary; A trip to Hawaii/Athens/Maldives
  需要注意的是,商务英语要求正式文体,较之非正式文体,其有以下常见特点:
  正式 非正式
  Headquarters, September (不简写) H.Q. Sept. (缩写)
  schedule, discuss (精确动词) set, talk about (宽泛动词或词组)
  A copy has been sent. (被动语态) I sent you a copy. (主动语态)
  形式
  最后需要考虑的就是备忘录的形式。正式考试时,文字题目下方会模拟商务实际,附上备忘录开头片段,包括To, From, Date, Subject等细节,但是考生不必直接在片段后书写,应该在试题纸背面写作,写作时不要求必须有From, To等内容,但若能准确而符合商务习惯地写出备忘录细节,无疑会增加文章的印象分,这里简单介绍一下备忘录细节的注意事项。
  To: 备忘录对象
  如果具体到人,最好写出全名,不要写自己的真实姓名,有作弊嫌疑,尤其不能“重名”,如Bill Tom,Bill和Tom都是名(Given name),而不是姓(Family name),一个简单的处理方法就是use others?name,比如男名Bill Gates, Michael Scofield, Jay Chou或女名
  From: 备忘录作者
  要点同上,一般不用尊称,只有对方不知道自己身份的时候才后缀职位名称。
  Date: 日期
  BEC属于英联邦国家的考试,日期的写法一般为日、月、年,比如7 December 2002,注意月份用英文而不是数字,以免和日期混淆,可以缩写,比如将一月写作Jan(也可以用开放标点)。
  Britney Spears, Jennifer Aniston等;若显示关系亲密,还可以把名字缩写,比如B. Gates, M. Scofield, J. Chou, B. Spears, J. Aniston等;如果写给上级,还应该加上尊称甚至职位,比如Mr. Bill Gates — Managing Director, Mr. Jay Chou — Art Director等;现代商务写作中流行开放标点(Open Punctuation),即标点不影响理解的时候可以不用,所以Mr./Ms./Mrs.后面的省略点也可以省去,简单写成Mr/Ms/Mrs;最好不要省去名字。
 范文示例

  The profits of our company this month went up 10% compared with the same period last year, due to your hard work and long working hours. I would like to thank you for your long devoted service. A trip to Hawaii has been arranged next month as a prize. Enjoy!
