商務(wù)英語考試：寫作基本過程與要求(五)

第三條原則：簡潔(Conciseness)

簡潔是現(xiàn)代商務(wù)英語寫作的發(fā)展趨勢，是在保證內(nèi)容完整無損的前提下用盡可能少的詞句來闡明主題。商務(wù)英語寫作要求既筒短扼要，又不失完整與清楚明白，還要包括必要的禮貌。

(1)用簡潔的語言(Use simple language)

盡量使用 避免使用

please will you be good enough to中 華 考 試 網(wǎng)

prefer express a preference for

because for the reason that

ask request

buy purchase

need request

do accomplish

letter communication

(2)少用陳詞濫調(diào)(Omit trite expressions)

下表列出的是一些常見的陳詞濫調(diào)：

in the near future

it has come to my attention中華考試網(wǎng)

at your earliest possible convenience

avail yourself of this opportunity

don' t hesitate

take the liberty to

due to the fact that

thanking you in advance

enclosed herein

with kindest regards

(3)避免冗長的表達(dá)方式和不必要的重復(fù)(avoid wordy expressions &unnecessary repetition)

請看下表中的兩組例子，比較一下修改前與修改后的差別。

Wordy

Concise

We would like to

A long period of time

During the year of 1995

During the time that

for developing

while

(4)刪改無關(guān)緊要的成份(Remove unneeded facts)

如果句中的某些成份被刪除后不影響句子的原意，那么就應(yīng)該毫不猶豫地把它們刪改掉。如下面句子中的劃線部分被刪去后并不影響句子的原義：

It should be noted that this is the best we can do。

(5)多使用主動(dòng)語態(tài)的句子結(jié)構(gòu)以明確表達(dá)意思

請比較下面兩個(gè)句子:中 華 考 試 網(wǎng)
