英文書(shū)信
書(shū)信是人們在日常生活和工作中進(jìn)行交際的工具，也是中考和高考書(shū)面表達中常見(jiàn)的考試文體。由于民族語(yǔ)言和習慣上的差異，英語(yǔ)信件在書(shū)寫(xiě)格式及表達方式上與漢語(yǔ)不大一樣，有些地方迥然不同。本章將向大家介紹一般格式及各種常見(jiàn)信件，如家信、祝賀信、道歉信及自薦信等。

英文書(shū)信：應屆畢業(yè)生英文求職信
Dear Sir，
I will graduate from the University of Kansas with a Masters degree in June of this year. My major is Pharmacy and I am very interested in securing a position before I graduate, if possible.
I am a Chinese and my bachelor's degree is from Zhejiang University.
I have long been hopeful of working for you after I graduate, because I consider you the finest hospital in this region, I as sure that if I have the privilege of serving in your pharmacy, I will greatly increase my education and my experience.
Needless to say, I will have completed a standard course in pharmacy before I graduate in June. In addition, I have chosen to elect all the courses available at my school in Hospital Pharmacy. I did this because I have always wanted to be a hospital pharmacy. My professors, Sr. John Harkin, Dr. Mildred Carter, and Dr. Iriny Schultz have give me permission to use their names as reference.
If you have a position available after I graduate, I would appreciate it. If not, please keep my name on your file, because I consider your Pharmacy the best in this region.
Sincerely yours,
xxx
英文書(shū)信的構成可分為8個(gè)部分：
信頭(Heading), 日期(Date), 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address), 稱(chēng)呼(Salutation), 信文(Body of the letter), 結束語(yǔ)(Complimentary close), 署名(Signature), 附言(P. S.)
信頭(Heading)
信頭是指發(fā)信人的單位名稱(chēng)或地址。一般情況下發(fā)信人只需把自己的地址寫(xiě)(打字，手寫(xiě)均可)在信的右上角，離開(kāi)信紙的頂頭約1英寸，占二三行或四行均可，格式如下：①齊頭式 ②縮進(jìn)式
注意：寫(xiě)地址的次序與中文不同，應先寫(xiě)門(mén)牌號碼街道，然后城市和國名。寫(xiě)地址時(shí)采用齊頭或縮進(jìn)式，以及每行后要不要加標點(diǎn)符號，都沒(méi)有固定的規定。如寫(xiě)給經(jīng)常往來(lái)的親友，這項地址也可以省略。
日期(Date):
寫(xiě)日期注意下列各點(diǎn)：①年份應寫(xiě)全，例如不能用"99"來(lái)代替"1999";②月份應寫(xiě)英文名稱(chēng)，除May, July外，可用縮寫(xiě)，如：Sep., Oct.。但不要用數字來(lái)代替，如7/4/99 或7， 4， 99，因為在英國此日期代表 7th April，1999，而美國則代表4th July，1999。 ③日期可用1，2，3，4 11，12 21，22 31等，也可用lst，2nd，3rd，4th 11th，21th 22nd 31st等。
日期的幾種寫(xiě)法：a.July 7，1998 b.1st October, 1998 c.30 Nov., 1997 d.Sep. 3rd, 1999
�、芴貏e注意英文書(shū)信日期應緊接著(zhù)寫(xiě)信人地址下一行，不能像寫(xiě)中文書(shū)信那樣寫(xiě)在書(shū)信簽名之后，這是很多學(xué)生的常見(jiàn)錯誤。
收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)
寫(xiě)信人的地址和日期寫(xiě)好以后，接著(zhù)就要寫(xiě)收信人的姓名和地址，一般的事務(wù)信件或給較生疏的朋友的信件要寫(xiě)，而在給極熟的朋友的信中則可省去。這一項寫(xiě)在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名寫(xiě)一行，收信人地址可分兩行或三行寫(xiě)，和寫(xiě)信人的地址一樣，上下可取齊，也可以向右縮進(jìn)。在姓名前一般要加上稱(chēng)號，稱(chēng)號因人而異。
�、賹ζ胀凶佑肕r;②對未婚女子用Miss;③對已婚女子用Mrs，對婚姻狀況不明確的通常用Ms(后跟本人姓);
�、軐δ凶佑肕aster;⑤對教授或博士(醫生)用Prof.或Dr.
稱(chēng)呼(Salutation)
稱(chēng)呼指的是信文開(kāi)頭的那種稱(chēng)呼，如Dear , Mr, Uncle，各種稱(chēng)呼因人而異。在稱(chēng)呼后面一般是用逗號，但也有用冒號的�，F歸納如下：①對父母、兄弟、姐妹等;a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom,
�、趯τH戚：a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin,
�、蹖ε笥�、同學(xué)a.My dear friend, b.Dear Mr Jackson, c.My dear Mr Jackson, d.Dear Sir,

�、邔�、工廠(chǎng)、學(xué)校等：a.Dear Sirs, b.Sirs, c.Gentlemen,
信文(Body of the letter)
信文是信件的主體部分，也就是信的內容。正文應在稱(chēng)呼下兩行開(kāi)始。信的開(kāi)頭第一個(gè)字母通常和稱(chēng)呼開(kāi)頭第一個(gè)詞平齊。也有往后退四個(gè)或八個(gè)字母的。下面介紹一些開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)和結尾語(yǔ)。
