    一、言语特性商务信函的翻译窍门就是用平实无华的的言语，恍如“书面攀谈”。简言之，就是做作、礼数、简明、精确地传送消息。现代商务信函更本论文由英语论文网www.51lunwen.org整理提供多地采纳非正式口语，而没有是过于正式。1.做作逼真虽然每集体都会表现本人的撰写格调， 但要读着逼真、 做作，好像背后攀谈正常。 试比拟:(1)I have pleasure in informing you...与 I am pleased to tell you...(2)We do not anticipate any increasein prices.与 We do not expect prices to rise.(3)I should be gratefulif you would be good enough to advise us...与 Please let usknow...(4)Please favour us with a prompt reply.与 Please let mehave your comments as soon as possible. 后句用的都是一些容易明了的语句，信函读兴起做作逼真热忱，相反能推进单方的理解和友情的构建。2.转弯抹角商人有许多资料要读， 对于他们来说， 工夫就是金钱， 因而， 他们更观赏转弯抹角的信函。 试比拟:(1)We shall in a position to...与 I shall be able to…(2)In the course of the next few weeks...与 During the next few weeks...(3)Would you be so kind as tolet us know...与  Please let us know...(4)I should be glad if youwould...与 Please...(5)I would like to remind you that...与Please note that..., Please remember that...前句都显示洗练，没有如后句转弯抹角又没有失礼数，读兴起俭省工夫。3.简明明了用简明明了的语汇会使你的信函意义更分明， 消息抒发地充分、无效，没有易惹起歧义，更相符古代商务信函的特性。好的信函只需求分明、精确，从没有必必要的词。试比拟:(1)We are inreceipt of your letter of 12 June.与 Thank you for your letter of 12June.(2)I am writing with reference to your letter dated 12 June inwhich you requested information about the courier services providedby this company.与 Thank you for your letter of 12 June enquiringabout our courier services.(3)Enclosed herewith you will find...与I enclose...(4)Please be good enough to advise me...与 Please letme know...前句显示破旧、过期、负担，然后句就简明明了得多。再者，用容易罕见的短单纯词接替简单华美的词。没有必 withreference to, in reference to而用 about， 没有必 due to the fact that，而用because， 没有必take into consideration， 而用consider， 没有必 withthe exception of，而用except，没有必for the purpose of，而用 for，没有必in the event that， 而用if, when，之类。
   二、语气特性那里所讨论语气， 是指信函的腔调，  姿态， 蕴含英语的虚构语气但没有只限此。商务信函抒发上正常都比拟坦率、宛转，表现为别人思忖，谅解对于方心境和处境的姿态。即便是邮寄埋怨或者回复埋怨，语气腔调的度掌握的好也没有会有粗暴本论文由英语论文网www.51lunwen.org整理提供触犯之嫌。试比拟:(1)We can not do anything about your problem.与Unfortunately we are unable to help you on this occasion.(2)Thisproblem would not have happened if you had connected the wiresproperly.与The problem may be resolved by connecting the wires inaccordance with the instructions given.(3)Your television’ s guar-antee is up, so you will have to pay for it to be fixed.与 Theguarantee for your television has expired. Unfortunately you musttherefore bear the cost of any repairs.(4)I am writing to complainbecause I am very unhappy with the way I was treated in your storetoday. 与 I was most unhappy with the standard of service Ireceived in your store today.没有好看出，前句让人读兴起觉得没有舒适，简单缓和冲突，后句就坦率礼数的多，有益于成绩的处理。当对于方的提议没有正当或者者对于您的指摘没有偏偏心常，您能够力排众议，注明您的观念，那时就考究有理有节，语气腔调要掌握好“度”，体现出技巧战略，达到预期的成效。
