學習一封高水平英文郵件，你就知道怎樣才能寫出地道英語

英語好可以幫到你工作，這點毋庸置疑。但是考四六級高分並不代表就可以在工作中能夠自如使用英語，你要學習的太多了。特別是外企高頻使用的表達，學不好寫出來的東西就有中式英語味道。

我來分享一封澳大利亞客戶寫給我郵件。單詞四六級範圍難度，我覺得人家寫得很好，很自然地道。這是一封高水平的郵件，大家可以學習一下：

Hello Andy,

I've been given your details from my colleague Travis who you are currently working with to produce the display stands.

I also have a job I would like you to look at for me. This is quite urgent as we have been let down by another supplier and are now running out of time.

Attached is a technical drawing of what we were originally looking at. However the twisted side panels are turning out to be too difficult to produce. We are now thinking of adding more structure support to the middle with a pole and then have our hooks attached to the pole.

Could you please review with your team and come back to me if this is something you could help with?

Best Regards,

Michael

Michael說他同事Travis把我推薦給他.現在他手頭有個訂單很急，之前他們的供應商做的產品樣板不合格，讓他們很失望. 他們的時間要耗光了，請求我們幫忙一下。然後就是給我們提供產品圖紙，同時還有具體的要求... 希望我可以和團隊商量一下，幫他解決這個問題。

現在重點來看一下，他所運用的英語：

I've been given your details from my colleague Travis who you are currently working with to produce the display stands.

have been given sth 用了現在完成時的被動語態；

用who 引導了一個定語從句，用來具體說明他的同事。

currently 當前，最近，運用得很到位。

I also have a job I would like you to look at for me.

have a job 在這裡不是有一份工作的意思，而是有點事，有個訂單 的意思，類似 we have an order, have a project.

I would like you ..... 這個句子在整句話中是定語從句，用來說明是什麼樣的job.

This is quite urgent as we have been let down by another supplier and are now running out of time.

在這裡用了個短語 let sb down 讓某人失望，他選擇了被動語態，而且是現在完成時的被動語態。

run out of sth 這個是我們高中常考詞組，是用完耗光了的意思，他選擇了現在進行時。

Attached is a technical drawing of what we were originally looking at. However the twisted side panels are turning out to be too difficult to produce.

attached 在這裡類似名詞 attachment 附件

originally 最初，原本

turn out to be 證明是.....

too.. to 太......而不能 。客戶說那個彎曲的板被證明是不好生產的。

Can you please review with your team and come back to me if this is something you could help with?

分享本文希望能夠給同學們一點啟發：在運用英語當中，要大膽的嘗試一些固定表達，簡單的從句，恰當的副詞。只有敢嘗試，敢犯錯，英語水平才會不斷提高。地道自然的英語真的不是通過高深的單詞來表現出來的。如果你喜歡這樣外企外貿英語分享，可以訂閱我們的專欄《頂級商務英語課》，內容優質而且系統，非常適合基礎不好的朋友。
