商务信函的汉英翻译
一 商务信函的正确格式
• 信头（letterhead），即寄信人的地址 • 案号 (reference)，文档号， • 日期 (date) • 封内地址 (inside address），受函人地址 • 主办人 (attention line) • • 事由栏 (subject) • 信的正文 (body of letter) • 信尾敬语 (complimentary close) • 签名 (signature) • 姓名缩写、附件及副本
• 烦请贵方尽快报伦敦离岸最低价格。 • Would you kindly quote us your lowest

• •
• b. 摘译应包括信中所有主要事实的梗概，包括 时间、地点、条件等。摘译有很大的伸缩性， 其内容取决于材料使用者的要求。最简略的摘 译是函件摘要，往往要求只用一两句话概述来 函意图或涉及何事、有何要求或建议等。
• c. 如函件使用者要求了解较多的具体情况，则 可将信中最重要（一般说来也就是最具体的） 语句加以摘译。
• 商务信函译例：请求建立商业关系
• ——先生: 我们从蒂科公司得知贵司商号与地址，特此来函，希望能同贵司 发展商务关系。 多年来，本公司经营鞋类进口生意，目前想扩展业务范围。请惠 寄商品目录与报价单。 如贵司产品价格合理，本公司必定向你方下定单。 恭候佳音。 采购部主任 托尼.斯密思谨上 2000年5月20日
• d. 摘译公函不必拘泥于原文词句的形式，但必 须做到不仅在事实上符合原件内容，而且在语 气上也不失分寸。

• 提请卖方注意：我方订单拖欠至今尚未 履行。
