晚上翻译新浪至奥委会的申请信， 再次遇到英文信件的格式问题。 每次都有些发晕， 总
是搞不清楚哪个地方该放什么用语。 只记得最简单的格式就是所有段落顶头， 包括称呼、正
文和落款。可是原文并不是这个格式，于是到网上搜索一番，找到了一个比较全面的文章， 转贴过来慢慢研究。
英语信件的种类比较多， 有一般信件，邀请信，推荐信等。但几乎所有信件的格式都大 同小异。书写英语信件要注意下面几点：
（一） 英语书信结构、书写款式及要求：
1 ?书信结构
英语书信结构一般有以下几个部分组成：
1）信封（envelope ）。英语的信封和中文的一样，有三部分组成，即发信人地址、收信人
地址和邮票。只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置 （信封的右上角）和中文的一样外, 英语信封上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。 发信人的地址应写在信封的左
上角，收信人的地址应写在信封偏中右偏下处，如下：
Liu
Rgia 30Z Ho.理比 T钢科！脸 00 st amp
Shanghai, 20040
F. R. China
Trof John Hill
COT Willirigt込 Avenue
Fain Be a ch, Tlor i ds 33404
U S. A.
2）信头（heading）,即写发信人的地址和日期（右上角）。
3） 信内姓名地址（inside address），即写收信人的姓名和地址（左上角）。
4） 称呼（salutation） ,即写对收信人的尊称（一般用 Dear Mr.…，；Dear MadamHelen,;
Dear Miss…,;Dear John,; Dear Professor Smith, 等）。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正
下方，中间空一至二行。
称呼后面的标点一般只能用逗号。以上信头、 信内姓名和地址三部
分的结构如下：
Liu Y Mi-hua
Rcon 3口乙 Uo Road 绷）i
Sliangliai 200040
r. &匚皿亦
June 2巳 2002
John Kill 6C7
Horfh Willin.￡tan Avsniiw
Palm Eeich, Tlarida 33404
U S A.
Professor Hi 11,
注:如果是相当熟悉和随便的朋友之间,因为彼此都知道对方的地址， 故信头和信内的
注:如果是相当熟悉和随便的朋友之间,
因为彼此都知道对方的地址， 故信头和信内的
地址常常省略。
5）正文（body）,即信件内的主要内容。 正文第一句句子一般和称呼之间空一至二行。
6）信尾客套语（complimentary close）,即写信人在信的右（或左）下角，写上表示自己 对收
信人一种礼貌客气的谦称。一般有 Si ncerely,; Si ncerely yours,; Yours si ncerely,;
Frie ndly
yours,; Truly yours,; Yours truly,; Cordially yours,; Yours cordially, 等。

7)信尾签名 (signature) ，即亲笔签上写信人自己的姓名。
如果是用打字机或电脑写的信，
在写信人签名的上方，同样应该打上写信人的姓名。
除以上七个部分外，有时一些英语书信还包括：( 1)附件 (Enclosure) ，以 Enc. 表示，
如"附有。。。。。。证明”应写为 Enc…Certificate ; (2)再启(Postscript) ，以 P.S.
表示；(3)抄送件(Carbon Copy to…)，以c.c.表示，说明一式多份抄送其他有关人员。
这些都是次要的补充部分。
P.S. 主要在私人信件中使用，事务信件中应避免使用，以免造 成写信人粗心大意的印象。
Enc. 和 c.c. 大都用在商贸信函中。
2．书写款式
英语书信的款式一般有两种：齐头式 (Block Style) 和折衷式 (Semi-Block Style) 。齐头 式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用，以显示信件内容的严肃性，真实性， 可靠性。而折衷式则显的比较随便，主要用于家人、朋友、私人之间来往的信件。如果两人 之间不是第一次通信，相互比较了解，可以省略信内的双方地址。
以下分别介绍齐头式和折衷式信件两种款式。

注：用齐头式信件写信，其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。每段的第一句句子不需要空
格，但段与段之间需要空一至二行。
齐头式信件的信尾客套话和签名可以有两种款式。
第 种写在左下方，这是最常用也是最正式的。
另外也可以写在右下方， 这种形式则表示写信人 与收信人之间的关系比较熟悉随便。下面是另一种齐头式信件的格式。

用折衷式书写信件，其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。第一段第一句的第一个单词必须在 Dear
称呼的直接下面。以后每段开头都要与第一段第一个字对齐。 信尾的客套话和签名都写在右
下方。朋友之间写信一般都使用折衷式， 而且称呼与正文之间一般不空行。 具体款式和要求
参见后面的一些信件。
以下是一封折衷式信件。
