函电 (4) ------ A

今天进入第二个主题: Enquiries & Offers

在开始今天的例文之前,先插几个知识点的讲解.

1. 在给对方写信时,在要提起某个问题来回答时,常有 "关于(你方的要求),至于......" ,那可用的词组有哪些呢?

as to / as for / in regard to / regarding / referring to / in respect of / concerning 2. offer n. & v. 的用法:

1) Your offer of ...

2) 常与动词 make , cable , send 连用

3) 常与介词 for , of , on 搭配

3. Enquiry / Inquiry :

An enquiry must be acknowledged in terms that establish good will if an immediate sale is not possible. If it is from an old customer,say how much you appreciate it ; if it is from a new customer,say you are glad to receive it and express the hope of keeping up friendly business relationship.

1) a general inquiry 普通询盘

general information : a catalogue , pricelist , sample , photo

2) a specific inquiry 具体询盘

detail information : name of the commodity , specification , quantity , unit price (CIF,FOB,etc.) , shipment date , terms of payment

4. Offer :

1) non-firm offer 虚盘

Non-firm offers are usually indicated by means of sending catalogues, pricelists, proforma invoices and quotation ; though quotations with certain qualifying words sometimes play the function of firm offers.

2) firm offer 实盘

A firm offer is made when a seller promises to sell goods at a stated price within a stated period of time. The promise may be expressed (i.e. clearly stated in words), as when it takes the form of a letter ; or it may be implied (i.e. understood), as when it takes the form of a quotation that contains the words "for acceptance within seven days", or similar qualifying words.

The firm offer creates a power of acceptance permitting the offeree by accepting the offer, to transform the offeror's promise into a contractual obligation. Thus, once it has been accepted it cannot be withdrawn.

3) A satisfactory offer will include the following:

a) an expression of thanks for the enquiry, if any ;

b) names of commodities , quality , quantity and specifications ;

c) details of prices , discounts and terms of payment ;

d) a statement or clear indication of what the prices cover (e.g. packing , freight and insurance) ;

e) packing and date of delivery ;

f) the period for which the offer is valid.

以上这些只供参考,这些纯粹是一些理论的知识. 似乎在实际操作中,也不会把那么多个point

放在同一封信里描述.

第一章商务信函写作概述

第一章商务信函写作概述 (An Overview of Business Letters) 随着当今国际贸易飞速发展,商务信函作为传递商业信息的主要手段发挥着重要的作用。专业的商务信函就像公司形象大使,给对方留下良好的第一印象,有助于打造成功的公司形象,加速业务的拓展。本章将针对商务信函的写作原则,写作技巧及正确格式加以详细阐述。 第一节商务信函的写作原则(Criteria for Business Letters) 商务英语写作区别于其他类型的英文写作。传统的英文写作格式灵活,写作者可以根据自己的喜好和写作习惯,选择复杂的句型结构和词语来表达自己的情感。但商务英语写作中,作者与读者之间是商务伙伴的关系,彼此通信的目的是为了促使双方愉快顺利地交易,因此写作时需要考虑到双方关系,内容必须兼顾目的与效率。成功的商务信函应该达到两个目的:1)收信者正确全面地理解写信人的意图;2)达到写信人的目的。为此,读者首先应了解商务英语写作必须遵循的“6C”原则,即:完整(completeness),清楚(clarity), 具体(concreteness), 简洁(conciseness), 准确(correctness)和体谅(consideration),使文章符合商务交往的语言特色。 1. 完整(Completeness) 完整性是指作者在写作过程中将对方所需的信息,资料等尽可能全面地提供给对方以期尽快得到对方的答复。如有信息疏漏,则会浪费彼此的时间再次沟通,延误办事效率。而且,有的信件如报价单实际上已是简单的成交合同,一经送达,对双方都有约束力。如果信息不完整,就会拖延成交时间,增加工作负担,严重的甚至引起不必要的纠纷。 2. 清楚(Clarity) 清楚性原则指读者在最短的时间内能够领会作者的意图,明确行事步骤。因此,作者在进行商务写作时,要考虑到目标读者的阅读能力,遣词造句力求做到简单明了,太多的大词,长难句不易于清楚地表达意图。清楚性在写作中体现在: 1) 选词(Word Choice) 初学写作的人一般认为词越难越正式越好,殊不知一份晦涩难懂的信件只会浪费对方时间,甚至对方因为看不懂而搁置一边,失去合作机会。因此商务写作 商务写作中模棱两可的表达会让读者产生误解,影响商务沟通。因此,信函措辞应尽量选用具体词汇,指代清楚。如:

We confirm the order as enclosed and we will have the goods delivered to Associated Cargo Express Ltd. Latest March 1st. Our freight prices are as follows: … We will pay the freight to you so you can put it on the invoice. Please send us a Pro Forma Invoice as soon as possible and advise which account we should remit the money to. As usual, we hope you will make us a half price invoice which has to be sent with the goods, and send the invoice with correct amount to our Accounting Dept. Acknowledgement Dear Mr. Amin, Thank you very much for your letter of April 22 and your order. In common with other suppliers, we have raised our price since you placed an order with us last year, but you will be pleased to hear that we will supply your current order at the old price. I enclose our new catalogue and price list, which contain several exciting new products and our latest prices. I will keep you fully informed of the progress of your order. If you would like to get in touch with me urgently, our new fax number is 5473421 or, of course, you may prefer to phone or telex me as before. Acknowledgement Dear Mr. Shang I am writing to you concerning Order No.FD134, which you placed 2 weeks ago. At that time we expected to be able to complete the order well before the delivery date we promised which was 20th July, but we were told yesterday that our main supplier had a serious financial problem. This means that we have to find another supplier who could fulfill all the outstanding contracts we have to carry out. As you will appreciate, this will take some time, but we are confident that we should be able to get our materials and deliver consignments to our customers by the middle of next month. The units themselves have been assembled and now simply need completing. We regret this unfortunate situation over which we had no control and apologize for the inconvenience. If you wish to cancel the order, it would be quite understandable, but we stress that we will be able to complete delivery by the en of next month.
