英文便條的寫作方法
英文便條的寫作方法(一)
一、概述
便條也是書信的一種形式。它的特點(diǎn)是內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)短,主要有臨時(shí)性的詢問(wèn)、留言、通知、要求等。跟正規(guī)書信相比,便條的語(yǔ)言比較口頭化,比如要通知某事只需這樣開(kāi)頭:Just a line to tell you that ...而無(wú)須像正規(guī)書信那樣This is to inform you that ...開(kāi)頭。另外,在便條中常出現(xiàn)省略現(xiàn)象,例如: key to back door is under mat. 或者 key to back door under mat . 代之以 The key to the back door is under the mat. 。
結(jié)束時(shí)也無(wú)需結(jié)尾禮詞,只需寫上寫便條者姓名。如果是關(guān)系比較近的人,則只需寫上姓或名。
便條的日期通常寫在右上角。一般只寫上星期幾或者星期幾上午或下午,也可寫上午、下午的具體時(shí)刻。日常應(yīng)用中,寫上幾月幾日的也很普遍。但一般不寫年份,因?yàn)楸銞l的內(nèi)容多半是當(dāng)日或近日內(nèi)要辦的事情。寫便條時(shí),不得事先準(zhǔn)備,因此無(wú)固定格式,大多用手寫。
二、注意事項(xiàng)
1.詞句簡(jiǎn)潔,盡量避免應(yīng)酬語(yǔ)和各種敬詞
2.切忌內(nèi)容空洞、言不達(dá)意。
三、分類舉例
1)請(qǐng)假(Asking for Leave)
例1
Directions: You are about to write a Business Leave Note of about 100 words. Please describe this information clearly.
便條可以有題目,也可以省略題目。
便條開(kāi)篇須有稱呼語(yǔ),但稱呼可以比較隨便。
日期部分可寫在便條的右上角。
日期的簽署通常只需寫星期幾或星期幾的上午、下午,也可只寫上午或下午和具體時(shí)間。只寫日期也可以。
便條結(jié)尾須署上留條人的姓名,位置在正文的右下角。
便條的形式和內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)潔,故可以用幾句話概括。
文內(nèi)語(yǔ)言盡量通俗口語(yǔ)化,簡(jiǎn)單扼要,直截了當(dāng),無(wú)需使用客套語(yǔ)言。
便條雖簡(jiǎn)單,但中心務(wù)必突出,更要注明活動(dòng)的時(shí)間及地點(diǎn)。
便條不需郵寄,不用信封。通常請(qǐng)人代為轉(zhuǎn)交。有時(shí)可寫在留言板和留言簿上。
基本寫作格式
便條內(nèi)容和類型不盡相同,可以靈活變通。但各類便條必須包括以下幾個(gè)基本要素;1)Date:便條日期2)Salutation:稱呼3)Body:正文 4)Signature:署名

請(qǐng)假條:往往指由于生病或特殊情況不能親自當(dāng)面請(qǐng)假,用假條的形式告假。所以,請(qǐng)假條大多是病假條。可以自寫,也可請(qǐng)他人代寫。寫假條最重要的是說(shuō)明原因和請(qǐng)假的期限。
