商務(wù)信函的英文書寫規(guī)則(4)
“簡(jiǎn)潔”是有客觀標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的。雖然西方國(guó)家的作者之間在怎樣用詞才算“簡(jiǎn)潔”方面還是有爭(zhēng)論的，不過(guò)他們的一些看法還是有一定參考價(jià)值的。
現(xiàn)在把他們所做的某些詞句的“不簡(jiǎn)潔”的比較列在下面做參考：
不簡(jiǎn)潔 簡(jiǎn)潔

怎樣才能使商業(yè)書信“簡(jiǎn)潔”？ 西方國(guó)家作者有很多建議，先介紹如下：
（一）避免使用陳舊的商業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)
陳舊的與傳統(tǒng)的商業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)（Commercial jargon）對(duì)信的內(nèi)容沒(méi)有什么作用，應(yīng)該避免使用。
例一：
Wordy: We wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of November 14 with the check for Stg.10 enclosed and wish to thank you for same.
Concise: We appreciate your letter of November 14 and the check for Stg. 10 you sent with it.
