  UNIT Ⅱ 各种信函类型

  一 邀请信 (A Letter of Invitation)

  邀请信包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等各种邀请信件,形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式(formal correspondence),亦称请柬;一种是非正式格式(informal correspondence),即一般的邀请信。邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规,但也是很考究。书写时应注意:  

  邀请信一定要将邀请的时间(年、月、日、钟点)、地点、场合写清楚,不能使接信人存在任何疑虑。例如:"I’d like you and Bob to come to Luncheon next Friday. "这句话中所指的是哪个星期五并不明确,所以应加上具体日期"I’d like you and Bob to come to luncheon next Friday, May the fifth."

  写作练习:

  1 邀请朋友共进午餐 Inviting a friend to informal luncheon

  2 邀请朋友同他们不认识的人一起共进晚餐 Inviting friends to supper with the strangers

  3 邀请参加新厂开工典礼 Invitation to opening ceremony of new factory

  4 邀请来家中小住及周末聚会 An invitation for a house and weekend party

  5 邀请参加招待会 An invitation for a reception

  6 邀请演讲 Inviting someone to address a meeting

  写作“三步走”:说明邀请目的->说明活动安排->期待尽早回复

  提示:信中要说明关于活动的详细信息,包括活动时间、地点、内容,有时需要说明参加活动的人员。语气要热情真挚,但不要强人所难。

  Directions:

  You are going to celebrate your 23rd birthday with a big party. Write a letter to invite your friend Anne to the party. In the letter, please specify the time and the location, explain the activities, and express your wish for her attendance。

  Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use "Li Ming" instead。

  邀请信的回复

  邀请信的复信要求简明扼要,在书写时应注意以下几点:

  1 接受邀请的复信中应重复写上邀请信中的某些内容,如邀请年、月、日,星期几、几点钟等,如"I’ll be delighted to attend your luncheon next Friday, May the fifth, at twelve o’clock."。

  2 邀请信的复信中应明确表明接受邀请还是不接受邀请,不能含乎其词,如不能写"I’ll come if I’m in town. "这类的话,以使得对方无法作出安排。在接受邀请的复信中,应对受到邀请表示高兴。谢却的复信中应阐明不能应邀的原由。

  二 申请信 (A Letter of Application)

  申请信有很多种,有求职申请信、有加入某组织的申请信、有报考申请信、有申请学位或留学申请信,等等。无论哪一种申请信,一般都包括这样几个部分:申请的原因,具备的条件,恳请申请单位考虑自己的申请,并表示谢意,期望回复。

More importantly, I have been an enthusiastic participant in many international exchange programs-which are reflected in my attached resume-and therefore, I believe my communication skills make me competent for such a post。

  Should you grant me an interview, I would be most grateful。

                                                       Yours truly

                                                         Li Ming

  如果您给我一个面试的机会,我将感激不尽。

                                                          李明
