(二)善于运用动词。
笔者在前边已经提到过,能用一句话来表达清楚的事情,绝对不用两句话来说,所以我们在书写商务信函时要尽量避免在以-ion, -tion, -ment, -ant, -ent, -ance, -ence结尾的词前面加上make类的动词来表达,而是直接用这些词的动词形式来表示,使句子简洁有力。如:
例(13):We he made shipment of your order No.632.
(我方已经交运你方的632号订货)
例(14):He put forward the suggestion that she draft the document.
(他建议她起草那份文件)
例(13)中的"made shipment "可以用shipped代替都是"用船运输"的意思,ship名词可以作动词用.例(14)中put forward the suggestion和suggest意思相同,suggest还比put forward to更加常用,所以用suggest来代替会显得更加简单.[收起]
