一、邮件写作指南：6 步教你写出漂亮的邮件 If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you have an email account. You may well have several – perhaps separate accounts for professional and personal contacts. 如果你正在阅读这篇文章，你肯定有一个或若干个甚至是不同帐号的私人或办公邮箱。 It’s easy to assume that we know how to use email effectively: it’s been around for long enough. But if you find yourself struggling to communicate effectively by email, these six tips should help: 邮件这样的沟通方式早已经渗入到了我们的生活工作中，因此可以说大多数人都能有效地使 用邮件与他人交流。但如果你发现自己还没做得足够有效，我想以下这六点可以帮到你： 1. Start With an Appropriate Salutation 邮件开头称呼要恰当： Some people jump straight into the text of an email without so much as a ―hi‖. It’s polite to add a salutation, just as you would with a letter. That might look like: 有些人写邮件不喜欢加称呼，甚至连简单的―你好‖都忽略，直接开始正文内容。孰不知就像 在传统的信件上一样，写上称呼是一种礼貌的象征。称呼可以这样写： #Dear Sir/Madam 亲爱的先生/女士 #Dear Mr. Johnson 亲爱的约翰逊先生 #Hi Sue 苏，你好 #Hello Fred 你好，福瑞德 Your salutation needs to be appropriate. If you’re writing to a prospective employer, ―Dear Mr. Johnson‖ is probably the best way to go. ―Hi Bob‖ is going to look unprofessional. 称呼必须恰当。若邮件对象是你未来的上司，―亲爱的约翰先生‖这样的称呼应该为最得体的。 像―你好，鲍勃‖更适用于随意的场合。 But don’t assume that formality is always the right answer. If you’re writing to a friend of a friend, using ―Dear‖ plus their surname is going to seem oddly stilted. 那么，是不是正式的用语就万能呢？绝对不是。若你给你朋友的朋友写邮件，那用―亲爱的 +姓‖就显得异常别扭。 If in doubt, ―Dear [first name]‖ will usually work just fine. 当你判断不出哪种场合该用什么称呼合适，你可以使用―亲爱的+名‖来应付所有情况。 2. Get Straight to the Point 直奔主题 Your correspondent won’t want to wade through paragraphs of waffle – so get straight to the point. If you’re writing to someone out of the blue, don’t give them your life story before you make a request. 相信阅读你邮件的人不会愿意仔细浏览你那空洞无聊的长篇大论，所以你需要直奔主题。如 果你想写封邮件安慰某个心灵受伤的朋友，开头先把你的建议亮出来，然后再用你的亲身经 历来辅助说明。 Getting straight to the point might mean that the first line of your email (after the salutation) looks something like this: 直奔主题意味着邮件内容的第一行应该是这样： #I’m work
