BEC商務英語寫作基本要求四大原則3
第三條原則:簡潔(Conciseness)
簡潔是現代商務英語寫作的發展趨勢,是在保證內容完整無損的前提下用盡可能少的詞句來闡明主題。商務英語寫作要求既筒短扼要,又不失完整與清楚明白,還要包括必要的禮貌。
(1)用簡潔的語言(Use simple language)
盡量使用 避免使用
please will you be good enough to
prefer express a preference for
because for the reason that
ask request
buy purchase
need request
do accomplish
letter communication
(2)少用陳詞濫調(Omit trite expressions)
下表列出的是一些常見的陳詞濫調:
in the near future
it has come to my attention
at your earliest possible convenience
avail yourself of this opportunity
don' t hesitate
take the liberty to
due to the fact that
thanking you in advance
enclosed herein
with kindest regards
(3)避免冗長的表達方式和不必要的重復(avoid wordy expressions & unnecessary repetition)
請看下表中的兩組例子,比較一下修改前與修改后的差別。
Wordy
Concise
We would like to
A long period of time
I expected it to be
During the year of 1995
For the development of
Square in shape
During the time that
please
a long time
expected
during 1995
for developing
square
while
(4)刪改無關緊要的成份(Remove unneeded facts)
如果句中的某些成份被刪除后不影響句子的原意,那么就應該毫不猶豫地把它們刪改掉。如下面句子中的劃線部分被刪去后并不影響句子的原義:
It should be noted that this is the best we can do。
(5)多使用主動語態的句子結構以明確表達意思
請比較下面兩個句子:
Payment of their accounts will be made by Johnsons next week.
Johnsons will pay their accounts next week.
