外贸英语函电答案

边距对于给读者留下好的视觉印象非常重要,边距应该产生好的画面效果,左右边距通常为30毫米,简要的信函的边距可以宽至34毫米。
4.第二页的写法除了销售信以外,商务信函通常只写一页,但是有时信息太复杂也可包含两页或多页。
当你需要写的内容超过一页时,第二页的信头可采用如下形式,内容包括收信人姓名,日期,页码。
比如:(2) -Page 2- The Universal Trading Co. Jan.7, 2009“-to be continued-”(待续)这一短语可以加在第一页页尾的右侧,第二页纸张的质量、尺寸和颜色要与第一页一致。
第2节商务信函的格式和信封的写法有几种可接受的商务信函写作格式,其中三种格式是最常使用的:缩格式、平头式和半平头式(或混合式)。
1. 商务信函的格式(1)缩格式信内名称地址部分每行都比上一行缩进3到5个空格,正文部分每一段的第一行也要缩进3到5个空格。
第二章中Letter-2(1)就是采用这种格式。
(2)平头式在这种形式下,每一行都从左边空白边缘写起,但是有时信头可以放在中间。
段落之间有加一空行。
这种风格更加受欢迎,因为它使信件看起来更加平衡,更容易打字。
第二章中Letter-2(2)就是采用平头式。
(3)半平头式(混合式)它是上述两种风格的混合形式。
信内名称和地址部分用平头式,正文中每一段的第一行用缩格式或者反过来。
第二章中Letter-2(3)就是采用这种混合格式。
2. 信封地址的写法通常来说,发信人的姓名和地址放在信封的左上方,收信人的姓名和地址放在信封中央。
信封上的地址可以用两种形式来写:缩格式和平头式。
内容和风格要与信内名称和地址相一致。
平头式:以下几种情形下,信封地址需要加入特别标记:✧如果信件是通过中间人而不是邮政系统传递给收信人,中间人名字后需加“Kindnessof ”, “By courtesy of”, “By favor of ” or “With favor of ”类似的语句。
