英文邮件最常见的八个错误 - 8 Most Common English Email Mistakes
Hi everyone,
As you may know, I've decided to host a LIVE session. In this article I will briefly describe the background and the material I will cover. 在这篇文章中,我将简要地描述一下我的培训内容当中所涉及到的背景和素材.
Here's the link:
First 首先:
This is NOT an English lesson. I have learned that most of the mistakes made in English business writing (especially e-mails) are not due to poor English. If you're reading this, I am guessing you've probably studied English for 10 or more years, and your grammar and vocabulary are probably better than mine! 这不是英文课。据我所知,很多人在英文商务写作(尤其是电子邮件)方面所犯的大多数错误都并非是因为英语水平差。如果您读到这里,我猜您很可能学习英文已经有至少10年的时间了吧,而且您的语法和词汇量很可能比我还要好!
Second 其次:
I didn't invent any of this material. I just noticed that most people I meet haven't learned it before. Most of it was taught to me in University (Business communication course, my professor was Indian!). The rules I will share are universal, generally-accepted rules that evolved over time to make business communication more effective and professional. Most English-speaking business men and women either learn them in school or are trained on-the-job. The point is, if your reader is an English speaker, he/she probably knows these rules, and expects you to know them too. 这些素材并非是我创作出来的。我只是注意到我所认识的大多数人之前对它们并不了解。这些内容大多都是我在读大学的时候学习到的(商务沟通课程,我那时的教授是印度人!)。我将与你们分享的规则都是通用的,被普遍接受的,它们经过了时间的积淀和考验,能够使你们的商务沟通变得更加高效和专业。大多数讲英语的商务人士,无论是男性还是女性,他们都了解这些内容,有的是在学校里学到的,还有的则是在工作当中通过培训了解到的。重点是,如果你们的读者是英语母语人士,那么他/她很可能懂得这些规则,同时也期待您也能够对此有所了解。
Small mistakes ruin your reputation! 细节决定成败
Your reader doesn't know you didn't learn this stuff in school. So if you make a mistake in your writing, your reader thinks either: 您的读者并不了解您是否在学校学习过这些规则。所以如果您在您的写作中犯了这样的错误,那么您的读者可能会产生如下这样的想法:
- You never learned this stuff, which means you're not very professional 您从来没有学过这些规则,这意味着您不是十分专业
- You learned it, but you don't follow it, which means you're lazy a. 您学过,但是您并没有遵循这些规则,这意味着您是有惰性的
None of this is true! Of course you're professional! Of course you' re not lazy! But the reader doesn't know that! 这都不是事实!您当然是专业的!您当然没有惰性!但是读者并不这样想!
In this LIVE session, I will share with you the eight most common mistakes that I see, and what you should do instead. You can apply all of my techniques right away, and I promise, your emails will look more professional. 在本LIVE中,我将与你们分享我所了解到的八大最常犯的错误,以及相关的正确做法。您可以马上将我的这些技巧应用到您的写作当中,我保证,您的电子邮件一定会看起来更加的专业。
The session won't take long, and I'm sure find it useful. If not, "7天无理由退款" ! Also, I will create a wechat group for everyone who wants to participate. You can ask questions and send me samples of your writing. Please message me if you have any more questions!
Cheers!
Daniel
