教你写好的英语电子邮件
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you have an email account. You may well have several – perhaps separate accounts for professional and personal contacts.
假如你已经阅读文章本文，你毫无疑问有一个或数个乃至是不一样账号的个人或企业办公电子邮箱。
It’s easy to assume that we know how to use email effectively: it’s been around for long enough. But if you find yourself struggling to communicate effectively by email, these six tips should help:
电子邮件那样的沟通方式早早已渗透到来到我们的日常生活工作上，因而可以说大部分人都能合理地应用电子邮件与别人沟通交流。但假如你察觉自己还没有做得充足合理，我觉得下列这六点能够帮上你：
1. Start With an Appropriate Salutation
邮件开头叫法要适当：
Some people jump straight into the text of an email without so much as a “hi”. It’s polite to add a salutation, just as you would with a letter. That might look like:
有的人写电子邮件讨厌加叫法，乃至连简易的“您好”都忽视，立即逐渐文章正文內容。孰不知如同在传统式的信函上一样，写上叫法是一种文明礼貌的代表。叫法能够那样写：
#Dear Sir/Madam 親愛的的老先生/女性
#Dear Mr. Johnson 親愛的的罗伯特老先生
#Hi Sue 苏，您好
#Hello Fred 您好，福瑞德
Your salutation needs to be appropriate. If you’re writing to a prospective employer, “Dear Mr. Johnson” is probably the best way to go. “Hi Bob” is going to look unprofessional.
叫法务必适当。若电子邮件目标就是你将来的领导，“親愛的的罗伯特老先生”那样的叫法应当为最得当的。像“您好，鲍勃”更适用随便的场所。
But don’t assume that formality is always the right answer. If you’re writing to a friend of a friend, using “Dear” plus their surname is going to seem oddly stilted.
那麼，是否宣布的术语就全能呢？肯定并不是。若你让你好友写电子邮件，那用“親愛的的 姓”就看起来出现异常怪怪的。
If in doubt, “Dear [first name]” will usually work just fine.
如果你分辨出不来哪样场所该用哪种叫法适合，你能应用“親愛的的 名”来适应全部状况。
2. Get Straight to the Point
奔向主题风格
Your correspondent won’t want to wade through paragraphs of waffle – so get straight to the point. If you’re writing to someone out of the blue, don’t give them your life story before you make a request.
坚信阅读文章你电子邮件的人不容易想要细心访问 你那空洞无聊的绕弯子，因此 你需要奔向主题风格。假如你要写封电子邮件宽慰某一内心负伤的盆友，开始先将你的提议亮出去，随后再用你的真实经历来輔助表明。
Getting straight to the point might mean that the first line of your email (after the salutation) looks something like this:
奔向主题风格代表着电子邮件內容的*一行应该是那样：
#I’m working on an article about Acme Widgets for XYZ publication, and wondered if you had a few minutes to answer the following three questions.
现在我已经写一篇要交到某某某出版社出版有关完美控制的文章内容，不清楚您有木有時间回应3个难题呢？
#Could you supply me with a quote for the following project?
能否对下边的设计方案新项目开展引用？
#I’d like to discuss the revisions with you. Would Tuesday at 2pm be a good time?
我们一起谈一谈修定的事。这周二中午二点您有时间吗？
#I’ve attached the documents you requested at our meeting yesterday.
昨日大会上您规定的文档已另附，请查收。
You may well need to include more details, but if you put the important point up front, your email is more likely to get a timely response. If your question comes too far down, the recipient may not even realise that you need a reply.
自然，你需要再提升大量的关键点內容。若将电子邮件关键放进內容的开始，你将接到更为立即的回应信息内容。假如你的问题在电子邮件之后，收信人很有可能都不容易意识到你一直在等他回应。
3. Keep it Short
內容简明扼要
Try to keep your email as short as possible. Make the paragraphs short, too – long paragraphs can be difficult to read and take in.
尽量将你的电子邮件內容写的简洁明了。文章内容过长不容易阅读文章和消化吸收。
Do make sure you give enough information for your correspondent to be able to make a decision, if that’s required. You might find that it’s best to offer this as an attachment – you’ll have more flexibility over formatting, and your correspondent can print out the attachment easily.
若另一方*须根据你的电子邮件来做管理决策，那么你一定要在电子邮件里将基本信息写详细。为了更好地能更灵便地排版设计，你能把这种信息内容做成配件方式，以便捷另一方将其复印出去。
4. Use Numbered Points
将內容序号
If you’ve got several questions or points to make, it’s very helpful to number them. This makes it easy for the other person to respond to each one, especially if some just require a yes/no response or a single word answer. For instance:
针对这些为了更好地资询或出示各种各样难题的电子邮件，**是将难题一点一点的例举出去，便于于别人对每一个难题做答，特别是在当某些人更趋向于对难题只回应“是”和“否”的情况下。比如：
#Could you let me know:
可否告之：
#1. How much it would cost for the website design
1. 网址设计费用
#2. How much for the website design plus a tri-fold brochure
2. 网页制作加一份三页宣传手册的花费
#3. Whether you could complete #2 by the end of April
3. 您可否在四月底进行第二点上述工作中？
It’s also useful to list your questions or points as bullets in this way; if you write a single paragraph, some of your questions might get missed.
将你的问题或见解用标志的方法列举出去是很好用的，假若你用一段话将好多个点所有包含，那另一方有可能会漏看在其中的几个方面。
5. Re-read and Use Spell-Check
再次阅读文章一遍，审校语法错误
A typo or spelling mistake can turn one word into an entirely different one. If you’re using email in a professional capacity, that mistake could be embarrassing – or even offensive. It might alter the whole meaning of your email: a missing “not”, for instance, could potentially cause problems.
排版设计或语法错误有时候能造成 对一个英语单词的误会。特别是在如果你用电子邮件来沟通交流专业能力內容时，那样的不正确就非常尴尬，乃至一些不礼貌。它很有可能更改你全部电子邮件的含意。例如：少写了个“不”，就很有可能会造成一些难题。
Spell-check should help you avoid any silly mistakes – but use your eyes and brain too. There are plenty of words that spell-check won’t pick up. If you’re emailing from a device with predictive text and an auto-correct feature, make sure you always re-read what you’ve typed.
因而查验拼读将防止你犯这种低等不正确，但这儿注重——不仅用双眼查验，还得用人的大脑思索。一些不正确不一定能随便查验出去。假如你的电子邮件系统有词句想到作用和全自动改错作用，一定要把写出去的內容再细读查验一遍。
6. Make Your Signature Useful
灵活运用邮件签名
Do you have an email signature? (That’s the text that appears automatically at the bottom of your email.) Some people don’t use one at all; others have a funny quote or favorite saying.
你设定过邮件签名吗（它可能在你每一次电子邮件內容的正下方自动生成）？有的人几乎也没有应用过它，但大家也看了一些十分有趣和生活哲理的签字。
Whether you’re using email for professional or personal reasons, make your signature useful for both you and your recipient. That might mean:
不管你是为了更好地工作中還是个人闲聊，充注签字对你和电子邮件接受者都是有益处，由于这代表着能够：
Giving the link to your website
再加上你的网站链接
Including your work address and/or phone number
写喜欢你的工作中详细地址或联系电话
Adding links to your social media accounts
注喜欢你的社会发展网络营销工具账号（比如blog，新浪微博，社区论坛）
Putting in a line to promote your recent book / blog / product
宣传策划你全新的书本，博闻或商品
If your email provider allows it, you may even want to create several signatures to use for different purposes (e.g. one for emailing friends, one for new business contacts).
一些电子邮箱乃至还出示客户依据不一样目地设计方案不一样签字的服务项目（例如：一个对盆友应用，一个对新结交的公司小伙伴应用）。
