私人和公務信函一概述

書信是日常生活中常用的文體，是用以交涉事宜、傳達信息、交流思想、聯絡感情、增

進了解的重要工具。書信一般可分為商務信件或公函(BusinessLetterorOfficial

Correspondence)和私人信件(PrivateLetter)兩大類。值得注意的是，英語書信的寫法與

漢語書信有一些明顯區別，應特別加以區分。

英語書信通常包括下面幾個組成部分：信端、信內地址、稱呼、正文、結束語、簽名、

附件、再啟等。下面我們將逐個進行介紹。

關于發信日期的寫法，應注意以下幾點：

①年份應完全寫出，不能簡寫。

②月份要用英文名稱，不要用數字代替。

③月份名稱多用公認的縮寫式。但May,June,July,因為較短，不可縮寫。

④寫日期時，可用基數詞1，2,3,4,5,......28,29,30,31等，也可用序數詞1st,

2nd,3rd,4th,5th,......28th,29th,30th,311st等。但最好用基數詞,簡單明了。

日期可有下列幾種寫法：

①Oct.20,2004

②10May.,2004

③3rdJune,2004

④Sept.16th,2004

其中，①最為通用。

3.稱呼(Salutation)

給外國人寫英文信時，稱呼用語要注意以下幾點：

①對沒有頭銜的男性一般稱呼Mr.。Mr.用在姓氏之前或姓氏和名字之前，不可只用在

名字之前，例如對的稱呼，應該是：Mr,或Mr.White,不可是：Mr.Phil。若稱呼多個男性，

則在姓名前用Mr.的復數形式Messrs.?對一般以人名為名稱的公司和企業常用這種稱

呼，例如:Messrs.BlackandBrothers布萊克兄弟公司。

②對女性一般稱呼Mrs.,Madam或Miss。Mrs.用在已婚女子的丈夫的姓氏之前，或

姓氏和名字之前，一般不用在名字前Madame此詞可以單獨使用或加在丈夫的姓名之前

Mrs.沒有復數形式。若稱呼多個女性，則在姓名前用Mme.的復數形式Mmes.而對以女

子名字為名稱的公司、企業可用Mesdames稱呼。Miss多用于未婚女子，此詞可縮寫為

Ms,用于姓氏之前或姓氏和名字之前，一般不用于名字之前。

③對收信人的稱呼，也可用頭銜或職位的名稱，不分性別。例如Professor(縮寫為Prof.),

Doctor(縮寫為Dr.),General(縮寫為Gen.)。這些稱呼都放在姓氏之前或姓氏和名字

之前，如Prof.(Phil)White等。

④對外公函中對收信人的稱呼，可用Gentlemen(而不是Gentleman),DearSir⑸

和MydearSir(s)等。Gentlemen之前不能加Dear,后面也不能帶姓名。用Sirs時，前

面常用Dear一詞，但也可單獨用Sir。若收信人是婦女，則無論已婚或未婚，都可單獨使

用Madam或其復數Mesdames。

⑤對外國高級官員的稱呼，如國家元首、政府首腦、部長、大使、公使和特使等，可用

（Dear）Sir,（Dear）Mr.Chairman,（Dear）Mr.Premier,（Mydear）Mr.Ambassador,

YourExcellency（復數為Excellencies）0

⑥對君主制國家的國王和皇帝等男性君主，可以Sir稱呼，對女王、女皇和皇后等女性

君主，可用Madam稱呼。有時也用YourMajesty稱呼以表示。客氣和尊敬YourMajesty

可兼指男性和女性，其復數為YourMajesties。

⑦對王室成員，如太子、王子、親王和公主等，一般可用（Dear）Sir或（Dear）Madam

但在正式尊稱時，一般用YourHighness（復數為Highnesses）.,

收信人稱呼

先生（男人）Mr./Esq.

夫人（已婚）Mrs.

小姐（未婚）Miss

夫人、小姐統稱Ms.

夫婦倆人Mr.andMrs.

兩位或兩位以上男子Messrs

兩位或兩位以上女子（已婚）Mesdames

兩位或兩位以上小姐（未婚）Misses

常見的頭銜（漢英對照）如下：

教授Professor

博士Doctor（Dr.,Ph.D.）

醫學博士MedicalDoctor（M.D.）

總統或校長President

主席或董事長Chairman

副主席或副董事長ViceChairman

副總統或副校長VicePresident

系主任Dean,Head,Chair

館長ChiefLibrarian,Curator

閣下Excellency

神甫Father

4.信的正文（BodyoftheLetter）

信的正文每段第一行應往右縮進約四五個字母。在寫事務性信件時，正文一般開門見山，內

容簡單明了，條理清楚。在寫私人信件時，信寫好之后若有什么遺漏，可用P.S.表示補敘。

5.結束語（ComplimentaryClose）

結束語是寫信人表示自己對收信人的一種謙稱，只占一行，低于正文一二行，從信紙的

中間或偏右的地方開始寫。第一個詞的開頭字母要大寫，末尾用逗號。結束語視寫信人與收

信人的關系而定。
