外贸函电
外贸函电?
简介
英文:foreign correspondence
就是有着国际贸易关系的双方由于彼此的业务往来而产生的信件，但在信息化高度发达的今天，该信件并不局限于纸质信件，也可以是电子邮件、传真或MSN。
外贸函电最常用的内容：建立业务关系、询盘、发盘、回复、销售合同、包装、保险、赔偿、仲裁等。
外贸函电基本要求：主题明确，内容简洁，语言精炼，表述完整。
外贸函电的格式：有固定的语言、习惯用法和常用句型。
外贸函电的语气：各部分语气。开发信、询盘回复一般要客气，表达感谢；平常业务联系要细心、信任；催促付款要紧急而不失礼貌；客户索赔要理解、给予足够的解释和说明。
外贸函电书写基本原则：
一、Courtesy 礼貌
语言要有礼且谦虚，及时地回信也是礼貌的表现。
例如：
We have received with many thanks your letter of 20 May, and we take the pleasure of sending you our latest catalog. We wish to draw your attention to a special offer which we have made in it.
You will be particularly interested in a special offer on page 5 of the latest catalog enclosed, which you requested in your letter of 20 May.
二、Consideration 体谅
写信时要处处从对方的角度去考虑有什么需求，而不是从自身出发，语气上更尊重对方。
例如：
“You earn 2 percent discount when you pay cash. We will send you the brochure next month. ”就比“We allow 2 percent discount for cash payment. We won't be able to send you the brochure this month.” 要好。
三、Completeness 完整
一封商业信函应概况了各项必需的事项，如邀请信应说明时间、地点等，确忌寄出含糊不清的信件。
四、Clarity 清楚
意思表达明确，要注意：
（一）避免用词错误：
例如：As to the steamers sailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco, we have bimonthly direct services.
此处bimonthly有歧义：可以是twice a month 或者once two month.故读信者就迷惑了，可以改写为：
1.We have two direct sailings every month from Hong Kong to San Francisco.
2.We have semimonthly direct sailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco.
3.We have a direct sailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco.
（二）注意词语所放的位置：
例如：
1. We shall be able to supply 10 cases of the item only.
2. We shall be able to supply 10 cases only of the item.
前者则有两种商品以上的含义。
（三）注意句子的结构：
例如：
1.We sent you 5 samples yesterday of the goods which you requested in your letter of May 20 by air.
2.We sent you, by air, 5 samples of the goods which you requested in your letter of May 20.
五、Conciseness 简洁
（一）避免废话连篇：
例如：
1.We wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter...可改为：We appreciate your letter...
2.Enclosed herewith please find two copies of...可改为: We enclose two copies of...
（二）避免不必要的重复：
（三）短句、单词的运用：
Enclosed herewith----->enclosed
at this time----->now
due to the fact that----->because
a draft in the amount of $1000----->a draft for $1000
六、Concreteness 具体
七、Correctness 正确
常用客套语句?
01.Please accept our thanks for the trouble you have taken.
有劳贵方，不胜感激。
02.We are obliged to thank you for your kind attention in this matter.
不胜感激贵方对此事的关照。

浅谈外贸函电的语言特点及几个重要原则
第２１卷第６８期２００７年５月 广东青年干部学院学报 ＪｏｕｒｎａｌｏｆＧｕａｎｇｄｏｎｇＹｏｕｎｈＬｅａｄｅｒｓＣｏｌｌｅｇｅ Ｖ０１．２ｌＮｏ．６８ Ｍａｖ２００７ 浅谈外贸函电的语言特点及几个重要原则 王媛媛 （广东青年干部学院，广州５１０５０７） 摘要：商务书信是商务活动中最重要的书面交往方式之一。注意商务英语书信写作中的语言特点及一些重要原则。在以信传情迭意中，双方应努力塑造良好形象，争取并保住新老客户，以求更好的经济效益。 关键词：外贸函电语言特点写作原则 中图分类号：Ｆ７４０．４Ｈ１５２．３文献标识码：Ａ文章编号：１００９－５４４６（２００７）０２—００９３—０３ 随着国际间的商务活动往来更加频繁，商务交际进入了一个全新的发展阶段，越来越呈现出国际化趋势。在国际商务沟通中，说话者能否掌握沟通的语言艺术，是能否顺利实现预期目标的关键。因此，在商务写作中，我们要注意以下几点： 语言特点 （一）语言简洁明确 众所周知，写好外贸函电必须遵循４项原则，即４个Ｃ：简洁（ｃｏｎｃｉｓｅｎｅｓｓ）、明确（ｃｌａｒｉｔｙ）、准确（ｃｏｒ－ｒｅｃｔｎｅｓｓ）、得体（ｃｏｕｒｔｅｓｙ）。一封简洁明确的外贸信件是如何体现呢？我们从以下几点分析： １．避免用多余的词语和冗长难懂的句子 ＷｅｗｉｓｈｔｏａｃｋｎｏｗｌｅｄｇｅｒｅｃｅｉｐｔｏｆｙｏｕｒｌｅｔｔｅｒｏｆＯｃｔ１４。如果改为：ＷｅａｐｐｒｅｃｉａｔｅｙｏｕｒｌｅｔｔｅｒｏｆＯｃｔ１４．就更加简洁易懂。 ２．用短语、及非谓语动词等形式代替从句 Ｂｅｃａｕｓｅｔｈｅａｒｔｉｃｌｅｉｓｖｅｒｙｐｏｐｕｌａｒ，ｉｔｗｉｌｌｅｎｊｏｙｆａｓｔｓａｌｅｓａｔｙｏｕｒｅｎｄ．用现在分词结构来代替原因状语从句，即Ｂｅｉｎｇｖｅｒｙｐｏｐｕｌａｒ，ｔｈｅａｒｔｉｃｌｅｗｉｌｌｅｎｊｏｙｆａｓｔｓａｌｅｓａｔｙｏｕｒｅｎｄ． ３．使用缩略语 在长期的发展中，外贸行业逐步形成了许多既定的专业缩略语，准确使用缩略语可减少信件的篇幅，节省读者的阅读时间。 Ａ．国际经济贸易组织缩略语。如：ＷＴＯ（世界贸易组织），ＥＥＣ（欧洲经济共同体），等等。 Ｂ．常用外贸英语缩略语。如：Ａ／Ｓ（见票后或见票），Ｆ．０．Ｂ（离岸价），ａ／ｃ（帐户）等等。 Ｃ．常用信函缩略语。如：Ｒｅ（ｒｅｇａｒｄ关于），Ｅｎｃ（随附）等等。 ４．概括总结 ＷｉｔｈｒｅｆｅｒｅｎｃｅｔｏｙｏｕｒｒｅｑｕｅｓｔｆｏｒａｎｅｘｔｅｎｓｉｏｎｏｎｙｏｕｒｎｏｔｕｎｄｅｒｄａｔｅｏｆＡｐｒｉｌ９，ｗｅｈａｖｅｄｉｓｃｕｓｓｅｄｔｈｉｓｍａｔｔｅｒｗｉｄｅｌｙａｎｄｄｒｅｗａｃｏｎｃｌｕｓｉｏｎ．Ｗｅａｒｅｎｏｗｐｌｅａｓｅｄｔｏｔｅｌｌｙｏｕｔｈａｔｗｅｗｉｌｌｂｅｗｉｌｌｉｎｇｔｏａｌｌｏｗｙｏｕａｄｄｉｔｉｏｎａｌｔｅｎｄａｙｓｔｏｍａｋｅｐａｙｍｅｎｔｏｎｙｏｕｒｎｏｔｅ．此段文共有５０个词，为使文字更紧凑，又不影响文中的意思，可概括为：Ｗｅａｒｅｐｌｅａｓｅｄｔｏａｌｌｏｗｙｏｕａｄｄｉ．ｔｉｏｎａｌ１０ｄａｙｓｔｏｐａｙｙｏｕｒｎｏｔｅｄａｔｅｄＡｐｒｉｌ９． （二）从收信人的视角看问题 交际双方的相互关系，影响到交际的效果。在交际过程中，一切以写信人为中心（ｗｅａｔｔｉｔｕｄｅ），从写信人的立场出发看待和处理问题，会给对方留下自以为是、冷淡疏远的感觉。若在交际中采用体谅对方的态度（ｙｏｕａｔｔｉｔｕｄｅ），从对方的角度出发，考虑到收信人的背景、感情以及对方对此信可能做出的反应等，那么这种友善的效果就能赢得对方的好感，从而增加商机。如： 收稿日期：２００７－０３－０８ 作者简介：王媛嫒（１９７２一），女，广东澄海广东青年干部学院讲师。

外贸函电课程设计报告
外贸函电课程设计报告 一课程设计的目的 经过一学期的理论学习之后，运用课程设计这一方式及其内容，来进一步掌握所学的知识。用所学的理论指导实际操作，使理论与实践完美地结合在一起。使我们能够更加正确、熟练、灵活地运用本门专业知识。 二课程设计内容 1 课程设计的总体方案布置根据背景资料拟写建交信并进行进出口报价核算 2 根据客户发来的传真及商品资料发盘并进行综合报价还价核算 3 拟写还盘函，根据背景资料和往来函电实例缮制销售确认书 4 根据合同审核信用证并写一份改证函，了解装船通知 5 根据信用证及所提供的资料缮制汇票，发票，装箱单，重量尺码单作为银行议付单据的一部分 三课程设计要求 通过外贸函电的理论学习阶段，进行实践性的模拟练习，从而加深学生对外贸函电理论的理解和运用。了解并熟悉外贸进出口的关键步骤。要求在为期一周的时间内学生通过外贸业务磋商各个环节—建立业务关系，询盘，报盘，还盘，成交，装运等的模拟能在实际应用中熟练使用函电的写作技巧和缮制合同，信用证，汇票，装箱单，提单等单据。 四课程设计中遇到的难题及解决方法 1、对于写信、回信的格式和规范性内容不够熟练。 解决方法：参考教材例文，了解格式与规范性内容，顺利完成信件往来操作题。 2、报价、佣金、利润等计算较复杂，公式不明确，计算有误。 解决方法：参照教材及相关资料，核对计算公式，成功计算出结果。 3、对销售确认书不熟悉，格式不明确。
解决方法：参考教材及相关例文，明确格式与主要内容，完成确认书的拟写操作。 4、对信用证不熟悉，在审核信用证时不能完全准确地找出错误内容。 解决方法：根据教材及参考资料，进一步了解信用证，组员互相合作，顺利找出信用证里的错误信息。 5缮制汇票、发票、装箱单时无从下手。 解决方法：通过教材及相关资料的介绍及老师的指导，组员积极探讨和研究，参照类似示例，顺利完成票据的缮制操作。 五体会 通过一个星期的外贸函电英语课程设计，我们经历了外贸业务磋商的各个环节—建立业务关系，询盘，报盘，还盘，成交，缮制合同、单据等的模拟，从中学到了很多课堂以外的知识。 通过对外贸业务信函的拟写训练，我们方能理解其中的不易。《外贸函电》是一门实践操作性很强的课程，要达到正确拟写外贸业务信函的目的，仅有理论是远远不够的，必须学习大量外贸实务中有一定代表信的信函，深入体会何为七个“C'S”，更重要的是通过学习发盘，对常用语进行操练运用，从而达到掌握并熟练使用的目的。 此外，我们还模拟了报价、佣金、利润的计算，以及销售确认书和各种票据的缮制操作。在报价、佣金、利润的计算过程中，我们遇到了很多困难，比如公式的错误和计算结果的误差等等。但是，正是这些错误让我们深刻体会到仔细严谨的态度是何等的重要。通过缮制各种票据，我们学到了其中的专业词汇，短语，句型及习惯表达方式等等。同样在对这些专业用语的运用上，我们也能够较好的支配和使用。 这次课程设计无疑是给了我们对国贸专业的清晰认识，当然，更多的是让我们认识到自己的不足。同时，我们获得了互相合作的乐趣，从而发现，只有通过大家的合作和努力，才能更快、更有效率的完成业务。
探讨外贸英语函电的语言特点
探讨外贸英语函电的语言特点 来源：英语毕业论文 https://www.360docs.net/doc/5715303082.html,/ 一、语域理论（register theory）的主要内容韩礼德等语言学家将决定语言特征的情景因素归纳为三种：即语场(field)、语旨(tenor)、语式(mode)，这三者称为语域变量。语场即“话语范围”，指语篇的中心内容。语旨即“话语基调”，有两层含义：包括语言使用者社会地位、相互之间的关系及使用语言的意图。语式即“话语方式”指语篇的语言裁体形式，可分为正式语体和非正式语体、书面语体和口语语体等;。 这三个变量同时兼顾语言内部的纯语言意义与语言的社会意义与功能，语域变量中的任何一项发生改变都会导致意义的变化，引起语言的变异，由此而产生不同的语言变体。发展语域理论的目的是力图发现和利用这些变化的一般规律，进而了解怎样的情景因素决定怎样的语言特征。 二、外贸英语函电的语域分析语域理论将具体的语言变体放在具体的情景语境中进行研究。外贸英语函电是不同地域的人们从事国际贸易活动为获取利益这种特定社会环境下的产物，体现出不同其他行业的语言特点，是一种功能性语言变体，所以其对语言的使用要求也存在差异。它对于用词，句法，篇章结构有不同的要求，强调完整、逻辑、清晰、礼貌、语言的准确客观性及语篇的纲要性。 （一）语场语场指实际发生的事，语言发生的话题、讲说者及其他参与者所参加的整个活动。外贸英语函电的语场指国际贸易进出口业务中的整个流程。如：建立业务关系，询盘，发盘，还盘，接受，签订合同，履行合同，业务善后。这些具体的活动决定外贸英语函电所使用的语言必须围绕这些活动主题
展开，外贸人员必须能够准确地使用各种套语来表达上述业务流程中的各个主题。 （二）语旨语旨指参与者的社会地位、相互之间的角色关系及他们使用语言的意图。外贸英语函电的使用者是从事国际贸易各个层次的专业人士。有国家政府部门的官员，行业协会人员，公司董事会人员，业务经理、主管，业务销售员等。使用外贸函电是为了顺利完成国际贸易进出口业务的各个环节，达成交易。同时还要以国际接轨的行事方式来使来自不同的语言背景和不同文化背景的人们能和谐相处。因此语言的针对性较强，专业正式，用词礼貌，庄重严谨。 （三）语式语式指语言交际的渠道和媒介。外贸英语函电属于书面语，书面语具有遣词造句的反复琢磨，语法结构周密严谨，语篇完整的特点。从传递商业信息的渠道上分，它包括信件、电传、电报、传真、电子邮件等。在电子商务高速发展的时代潮流下，电子邮件是最快捷高效的信息传递方式。同时，随着各企业电子商务平台的日臻完善，外贸工作人员可以利用公司网站上的信息交流平台同贸易伙伴进行即时交流，其它的交流信息的方式还有MSN，SKYPE等。与此相对应的语言表达要求简明扼要，语篇不烦冗拖沓，这样才符合商业活动的规律。 三、外贸英语函电的语言特点 （一）外贸英语函电的套语、外贸术语为了减少纠纷，顺利开展对外贸易活动，必须对买卖双方各自承担的责任、费用、风险等作出明确的规定和划分。这就构成了外贸英语函电中的最大特点—精确地运用价格、支付、保险等专业术语。 例如1：CFR(Cost and Freight)成本加运费,B/L（Bill of Lading）海运提单，ETA(Estimated time of Arrival)预抵期截短词（clipped words）。
外贸函电常用范文
外贸函电原则 一、Courtesy 礼貌 语言要有礼且谦虚，及时地回信也是礼貌的表现。 例如： We have received with many thanks your letter of 20 May, and we take the pleasure of sending you our latest catalog. We wish to draw your attention to a special offer which we have made in it. You will be particularly interested in a special offer on page 5 of the latest catalog enclosed, which you requested in your letter of 20 May. 二、Consideration 体谅 写信时要处处从对方的角度去考虑有什么需求，而不是从自身出发，语气上更尊重对方。 例如： “You earn 2 percent discount when you pay cash. We will send you the brochure next month. ”就比“We allow 2 percent discount for cash payment. We won't be able to send you the brochure this month.”要好。
三、Completeness 完整 一封商务英语外贸函电应概况了各项必需的事项，如邀请信应说明时间、地点等，确忌寄出含糊不清的信件。 四、Clarity 清楚 意思表达明确，要注意： （一）避免用词错误： 例如：As to the steamers sailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco, we have bimonthly direct services. 此处bimonthly有歧义：可以是twice a month 或者once two month.故读信者就迷惑了，可以改写为：We have two direct sailings every month from Hong Kong to San Francisco. （二）注意词语所放的位置： 例如： 1.
