結尾
Thanks
Thank you
Best,
Many thanks,
Kind regards,
Best regards,
Sincerely,
Yours sincerely,
- 除了Thanks 和 Thank you,其他的結尾都帶有逗號
- 從上到下,是非正式用法到正式用法的排序
- 寫給朋友,可用Thanks 或是Thank you
- 正式的文件,可用Sincerely, 或是Your sincerely, 。要注意要知道對方名字才能用這兩個結尾
- Best, 在任何情況下,可以對任何人用,且最安全的結尾。因為他簡單直接,聽起來很專業,且不會太花俏。
想表達某些要求
Please can you send my feedback to me?
雖然在亞洲人眼裡是直接且禮貌,但對外國人來說是魯莽。
比較好且委婉的用法
I was wondering if/whether + modal verb +please + reason
把之前的句子改寫
I was just wondering if you might be able to send me my feedback soon please, so that I can start working on the next draft?
談加薪,這樣寫就太直接
Please can you give me more money?
套用上面的公式
I was just wondering if it might be possible for you to consider increasing my salary, as I’ve been working hard at this company for several years now.
談工作,這樣寫就太直接
Please can you not make do that project?
套用上面的公式
I was just wondering if it might be possible for John to take on that project instead, as I have a lot on my plate at the moment, so I might not be able to meet the deadline.
另外在和別人討論想法時,下面這種方式太直接
I’ve decided to …
你可以說
I was thinking of doing…
What do you think
Do you think it would be okay to… ?
另外在信件要避刷用驚嘆號,除非是跟你很熟的朋友。
