英文书信格式及范例大汇总（二）

各 类信件（

Letters

）

英语信件的种类比较多，有一般信件，邀请信，推荐信等。但 几乎所有信件的格式都大同小

异。书写英语信件要注意下面几点：

（一）

英语书信结构、书写款式及要求：

1

．书信结构

英语书信结构一般有以下几个部分组成：

1

）信封（

envelope

）。英语的信封和中文的一样，有三部分组成，即发信人地址、收信人

地址和邮票。

只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置

（信封的右上角）

和中文的一样外，

英语信封 上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。

发信人的地址应写在信封的左

上角，收信人的地址应写在信封偏中右偏下处，如下：

Liu Yan-hua

Room 302, No. 48, Yanan Road (M) stamp

Shanghai, 20040

P. R. China

Prof. John Hill

607 North Willington Avenue

West Palm Beach, Florida 33404

U. S. A.

2

）信头

( heading)

，即写发信人的地址和日期（右上角）。

3

）信内姓名地址

(inside address)

，即写收信人的姓名和地址（左上角）。

4

）

称呼

(salutation)

，

即写对收信人的尊称

（一般用

Dear Miss…,; Dear John,; Dear Professor Smith,

等）。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正

下方，中间空 一至二行。称呼后面的标点一般只能用逗号。以上信头、信内姓名和地址三部

分的结构如 下：

Liu Yan-hua

Room 302, No 48, Yanan Road (M)

Shanghai 200040

P. R. China

June 22, 2002

Prof. John Hill 607

North Willington Avenue

West Palm Beach, Florida 33404

U. S. A.

Dear Professor Hill,

___________________________ ___________________________________

____ _________

_________________ _____________________________________________

_______ __________________________________________________ _____

_____________

注：如果是相当熟悉和随便的朋 友之间，因为彼此都知道对方的地址，故信头和信内的地

址常常省略。

< br>

5

）正文

( body)

，即信件内的主要内容。正文第一句句子一般和称呼之间空一至二行。

6

）信尾客套语

(complimentary close)

，即写信人在信 的右（或左）下角，写上表示自

己对收

信人一种礼貌客气的谦称。一般有

Sincerely,; Sincerely yours,; Yours sincerely,;

Friendly

yours,; Truly yours,; Yours truly,; Cordially yours,; Yours cordially,

等。

7

）

信尾签名

(signature)

，

即亲笔签上 写信人自己的姓名。

如果是用打字机或电脑写的信，

在写信人签 名的上方，同样应该打上写信人的姓名。

除以上七个部分外，

有时一些英语 书信还包括：

（

1

）

< br>附件

(Enclosure)

，

以

Enc.

表示，

如

“

附有。。。。。。证明

”

应写为

Enc…Certificate

；

（

2

）再启

(Postscript)

，以

P .S.

表

示；（

3

< br>）抄送件

(Carbon Copy to…)

，以

c.c.

表示，说明一 式多份抄送其他有关人员。

这些都是次要的补充部分。

P.S.

主要在私人信件中使用，事务信件中应避免使用，以免造

成写信 人粗心大意的印象。

Enc.

和

c.c .

大都用在商贸信函中。

2

．书写款式

英语书信的款式一般有两种：齐头式

(Block Style)

和折衷式

(Semi-Block Style)

。

齐头式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中 使用，以显示信件内容的严肃性，真实性，

可靠性。而折衷式则显的比较随便，主要用于家人、朋友、私人之间来往的信件。如果两人

之间不是第一次通信，相互比较了解，可以省略信内的双方地址。

以下分别介绍齐头式和折衷式信件两种款式。

注：用齐头式信件写信，其正文 与称呼之间空一至二行。每段的第一句句子不需要空

格，但段与段之间需要空一至二行。齐头式信件的信尾客套话和签名可以有两种款式。第一

种写在左下方，这是最常用也是最正式的。另外也可以写在右下方，这种形式则表示写信人< /p>

与收信人之间的关系比较熟悉随便。下面是另一种齐头式信件的格式。

December 22, 2002

Dear Mr. Ken,

I arrived at Shanghai yesterday afternoon. My wife and my daughter met me at

the airport. They were very much glad that I could come back just before

Christmas and the new year’s day. On our way home, I told them a lot about my

stay in America, until now they are always encouraging me to tell them some

interesting incidents and exciting experiences that I encountered in the State.

You know they have never been abroad, and therefore everything may seem

strange to them. It is even extremely incredible for them to know that every day

we took half an hour drive for our lunch, which is quite natural for ordinary

people.

My wife and daughter want me to thank you for your gifts to them. My daughter

loves the toy dog very much, and she always holds it even when she is sleeping.

My wife loves the purse. She feels so proud of owning it, speaks so highly of its

quality that she shows it to all her friends.

Anyway, I’m much obliged to you for your hospitality during my stay there, and

to your wife, Catherine, especially. She is really a nice young lady, who is kind,

frank and generous. With her guidance and instructions, I could visit some

places that I had been longing for, find some important materials and learn

something in detail about American culture. Meanwhile, I would thank your

colleagues for their tremendous help, without which it would have been

impossible for me to cope with everything.

I won’t come to my office until January 6. We will inform you of our decision

about the contract as soon as possible.

Please remember me to your wife and two daughters.

Sincerely yours,

Zhou Yan-wen

B:

折衷式信件款式：

用折衷式书写信件，其正文与称 呼之间空一至二行。第一段第一句的第一个单词必须在

Dear

称呼的直接下面。以后每段开头都要与第一段第一个字对齐。信尾的客套话和签名都

写在 右下方。朋友之间写信一般都使用折衷式，而且称呼与正文之间一般不空行。具体款式

和 要求参见后面的一些信件。

以下是一封折衷式信件。

Dear Mr. Henkel,

We acknowledge the receipt of your letter and its enclosure of February 10

about thesupply of washing machines.

We regret that it is difficult for us to consider the purchase as our company

does not need the item for the time being. We have recorded your quotation of

our further use.

Thank you for your kind attention to this reply.

Yours faithfully,
