memo多用于公司内部,通常是个人写给个人或者个人写给整个公司或者部门。下面是我整理的商务英语便函memo的写作方式,以供大家学习参考。
MEMO
To: John Carter, Regional Sales Manager
From: Mary Walden, National Sales Director
Date: 29 March 2004
Subject: Annual Sales Conference
This year's Annual Sales Conferences will take place in our London Branch from 3 April to 8 April. Please book your flight in advance and we will meet all your expense during your stay there.
(今年的年度销售大会将于4月3日至4月8日在我们伦敦分公司举行。 请提前预定航班。您在此期间的所有开支将由我们支付。)
通过上面的列子可以看出memo 通常包含一下几个部分:
公司名称:
收函人姓名(和职务)To:
留言人姓名(和职务)From:
留言日期Date:
便函主题Subject:
正文:
a.公司名称:因为大部分memo都是用专门的公司用纸书写,因此上面会有公司的名称,电话等。如果没有你可以把它们打印出来。
b.To:指这个memo是写给谁的。
c.From:指这个memo是谁写的。
d.Date:指的是写这个memo时的日期。日期按照影视英语的写法要先写日子,然后是月份和年。这里需要注意月份的英语单词应该是拼写出来。在较为正式的场合下,月份通常不用阿拉伯数字,也不能缩写形式。
e.Subject:指的是主题,即这个memo主要是说哪方面的事情。这个单词可以缩写为Sub。主题有时候也可以用Re:来表示。 Re是regarding 的缩写,即这个memo是关于什么内容的,也就是主题,它就等于subject。
f.正文:即这个memo的具体内容。
1. 这个memo是谁写的?她的职务是什么?
2. 这个memo是写给谁的?他的职务是什么?
3.指这个memo是什么时候写的? 请写出年月日。
4.这个memo的主题是什么?
答案:
1.这个memo是Mary Walden 写的,她的职务是全国销售总监。
2.这个memo是写给John Carter的,他的职务是地区销售经理。
3.这个memo是2004年3月29日写的。
4.这个memo的主题是年度销售大会。
Memo根据它的用途可以分为指令型、通知型、建议型和报告型等。

Memo

Sub: Suggestions
Having checked our production capacity for the next year, I can suggest the following:
Increase production by 20 000 bottles over a three-month period, while maintaining present production level of other lines.
Discontinue production of weaker line(s) and use the shortfall capacity for mineral water.
I hope one of these suggestion is suitable.
(核对了我们明年的生产能力后,我想提出以下建议:在3个月期间产量再增加两万瓶,同时保持其他产品的现有生产水平。不再生产一些销售不好的产品而改为生产矿泉水。希望能采纳我的某个建议。)
例一:Memo
To: James Palmer, Sales Director
From: Jane Philips, Regional Sales Manager
Date: 23 April 2004
Subject:Survey
As requested by Managing Director,I have done a consumer research survey concerning our product. The survey showed that the market potential for our own brand shirts would be negligible.
(应总经理的要求,我已经完成了一个关于我们产品的客户调研。这个调查表明我们生产的自家品牌的衬衫在市场上没有太大的潜力。)
Consumer [kən'sjuːmə] n. 消费者;用户,顾客
Concerning [kən'sɜːnɪŋ] prep. 关于;就而言 we read stories concerning visitors from outer space.
Potential [pəˈtenʃl] n. 潜能;可能性;[(+for)]
Negligible ['neglɪdʒɪb(ə)l] a.可以忽略的;无关紧要的;微不足道的;
有时候memo根据情况可能会更加口语化一些。在有些情况下还可以直接手写:
例二:Memo
To: Sheila From:Pauls
Date: Tuesday Time:9:30am
Can you give me the following data, please? a) Latest sales figures for market share of our products. b) Total market survey for soft drink(US North East).
(你能给我以下数据吗?a)我们产品所占市场份额的最新数字。b)软饮料的整个市场调查(美国东北部的地区))
1. 首先memo这个单词有些时候可以省略,因为大多数memo都印在专门的公司用纸上,并且纸上已经印有公司的标志等,如果没有memo这个词则要些出来。memo这个单词可以写在第一行的中间或者左边。
2. 注意memo的格式,即To,From,Date和Subject这4项内容的位置并不是议程不变的,可以有以下形式:
From: To:
Date: Re:To: From:
Subject: Date:Date: To:
From: Subject:
3.明确表明意图,准确传递信息。在实际工作中,memo的内容可长可短,也可以正式或者非正式化,甚至非常口语化。这主要取决于对象是谁和所写的正式程度。不必用过于复杂的单词,行文应该简单,每句话表达一个意思。
4.如果内容较长,可以适当分段并且标注编号,可以用1,2,3或者A,B,C 等符号标识不同的内容。
5.语言应该礼貌。
6.便函写作会涉及到开会时间和地点等问题。要想将这样的信息传递清楚就涉及到正确使用表示时间和地点的介词,而这仅仅是需要注意的语法知识的以小部分而已。不仅非正式文体写作需要注意语法知识,书信和报告中也要注意这些细节,因此本书专门就重要的语法知识进行了专项讲解。有关语法讲解和练习请参看本书第5章第2单元的内容。
BEC考试中对memo的考核情况
在BEC 初、中、高三个级别中,memo通常只出现在初级和中级的写作考试中。请大家注意以下几点:
1.初级考试中会让你写一个memo,不过考试中的试题会把memo的格式写出来。
2.对于中级考生而言,memo的格式必须掌握。
3.格式中的To,From,Date,Subject 这4项内容中不论有多少单词都不计入考试要求的字数的。列如,中级写作中memo的写作要求为40-50个单词,这个字数指的是memo的正文,而格式中的单词不计入。

MEMO August 16, 2005To: The leader of student service department From: Li Ming Subject: Telephone Dear Sir, I would like to remind you that we are in want of a telephone for each dormitory. As a university student, we need to cope with the daily increasing communications with teachers, friends and people outside the campus. We need a telephone to get and send message, which is important for us. Though most of us have mobile phones and e-mail address, a telephone in the dormitory is after all the most convenient and cheapest tool of communication. I hope that you will pay attention to this problem and solve it as soon as possible.Regards. Yours,Li Ming 希望能够帮到楼主

从事商务活动的业务员,在用英语进行便条note的写作时,是如何做的呢?以下是我给大家带来商务英语写作便条note写作格式及模板,以供参阅! 商务英语写作:便条Note的写作格式 先看几个例子,了解一下note 的结构和写作方法。 例1. Sarah, I need this month's sales figures because I'll attend an international sales conference tomorrow. Could you prepare and send it to you ASAP? (ASAP: as soon as possible) 例2. David, Just to let you know I’m arriving in London on Thursday 31st Mar. at 7:15pm. I ‘m really looking forward to seeing you again. See you soon. Love. (写此便条就是告诉你我将于3月31日(周四)晚7点15分抵达伦敦。我真的期盼与你再次见面。) 例3. Bob, Can't find the catalogue for the newly launched products. Could you fax me it? Thanks! Jane (我找不到最近推出的产品的目录了,你能否肥沃传真过来? 谢谢!) 例4. Helen, Tuesday's meeting is postponed. Shall we meet on Thursday lunchtime in my office? You can call me on 13913000*** if you have any problems. (周二的会面推迟了。科菲在周四午饭时候在我的办公室见面?如果有问题,请致电13913000***。) Postpone [pəʊs(t)'pəʊn] vt. 使延期;把放在次要地位;把放在后面 例5. Jack, Please notify all staff to meet in Room 410 at 9:30 tomorrow morning. David (请通知全体员工明天早上9点半在410房间开会) 通过上述例子,我们知道,从格式上讲,note是比较熟悉的人之间的一种交流方式,因而在称呼上和格式上与写memo有很大不同。它通常只是称呼名字而不称呼姓。它的落款通常也是写note的人名字。从语言上讲文字通俗且口语化。note经常会有缩写(如:Tel no., I've,can't) 和省略(可省略I和系动词)等,语气上也比较随意。 BEC考试中对note的考核 Note 属于简单写作,目前只限于BEC Preliminary 写作中。中级写作在1997年暂未出现过。 Practice练习 You can't find the price list for a new product and ask a colleague to send it to you. Write a note to tell your colleague. 商务英语写作:便条Note的写作范文篇1 May 15th Dear Alice. I wonder if you eould lend me your Chinese-English dictionary. I will return it three days later.
