  3 活用过去进行时,你的邮件气质up, up

  过去进行时也是写邮件时候的大利器,用的好,可以让邮件上一个档次,比如:

  I hope we can sign the contract today.

  I was hoping that we could sign the contract today.

  我希望今天咱们能把合约签了。

  I think we need to hire more employees.

  I was thinking we need to hire more employees.

  我在想我们需要多招一些员工。

  I aim to finish this project by the end of the month.

  I was aiming to finish this project by the end of the month.

  我打算再本月底完成这个项目。

  过去进行时到底有啥厉害之处,国外专家这么说:

  Using the past continuous makes the sentence sound more hypothetical and tentative, and therefore less direct and is a great technique for injecting diplomacy and politeness into your English.

  4 善用被动态,避免说别人坏话

  被动句式也是转换生硬语气的很好的办法,比如,如果邮件里出现下面这样的句子,收件人估计不会很高兴吧!

  You have broken my computer!

  你弄坏了我的电脑。

  This active voice sentence is brutally direct and if your aim is to avoid confrontation then you might consider using the passive voice to lessen the emotional impact of the sentence:

  My computer has been broken!

  我的电脑坏了。

  再比如下面这两个句式,去除主语之后能够避免谈论到底谁要为行为负责,让句式非常商务范。

  You said you were going to sign the deal today.

  It was understood that you were going to sign the deal today.

  据说,你今天要去签合约。

  You agreed to lower your fees.

  It was agreed that you were going to lower your fees.

  之前咱们谈妥,贵方说会降低费用。
