Emailing can be a tricky form of communication. There are mistakes to be made. I he made more than a few of them. I hope this can help you oid some of the same mistakes.
写电子邮件是一种有技巧的交流方式,会犯错误，我就犯过一些。我希望本文能够帮助你避免犯同类的错误。
1. Using a non-descriptive headline.
1.使用非描述性主题
A "Hi" may be nice to start a regular conversation. But when we are talking about emailing and subject lines then a more descriptive subject line is useful. It will quickly convey what your email is about and it will stand out among the other 100 subject lines your reader is scanning through in his/her inbox.
始进行一个平常的交谈时使用“hi”可能会很好。但是，当我们讨论写电子邮件和信件主题时，一个略微更具描述性的主题是有用的。它能够快速传达你的邮件的信息，并且能够在你的件人的多达上百个主题的邮件中脱颖而出。
2. Rambling on and on.
2.啰嗦，东拉西扯
It's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to talk on and on about your problem, question, new product etc. It's great or interesting, so why not? The problem is just that people get a lot of emails. Maybe dozens or hundreds each day. If you don't get to the point quickly then you may lose their interest halfway through the email. So, get to the point quickly.
很容易掉进这样一个陷阱，你很想多讨论关于你的问题、麻烦、新产品等。心想这是很不错和有趣的事情，为什么不说呢？问题是人们会有许多许多的邮件，可能是每天几十封甚至上百封。如果你不能快速直达主题，对方就会在读你邮件的半途上对它失去兴趣。因此，迅速切入主题。
3. Not explaining properly.
3.没能适当解释。
It's easy to assume that people know as much as you do and that some things are just self-evident. That's not always the case though. You shouldn't write too long and rambling emails. But you shouldn't write too short emails either. If you he something that may need to be explained, explain it clearly but as simply as you can. Make sure that you get the point of the email across to your reader.
很容易认定人们和你知道的一样多，而且认为有些事情是显而易见的。但事实并非如此。你不能写太长和离题的邮件，但你也不能把它写的太短。如果你有事情需要解释，那么就该尽可能简单地清楚解释它。一定要让你的邮件是直达主题。
4. Being too formal.
4.格式太正规。
Hing a really formal tone can be helpful sometimes. Other times a less formal tone is more useful.
正规格式有时是有用的，而有些时候不太正规同样有用。
An email is often a way to build and develop a relationship of some sort. To do that, emotions must come into play. You want to create an emotional connection to your reader. That doesn't mean that you should be overemotional though.
一封电子邮件常常是建立和发展某些关系的一种途径。为了达到这个目的，必须带进感情因素。你想和你的读者建立情感纽带，也并不是意味着你就应该过分感情化。
Just try to write to someone in a relaxed tone. The same tone that you would use if you met that person in a relaxed conversation in real life. Write kinda like you talk. Then your email will he a conversational tone. And the connection between the two of you will often be better and more natural. How do you write in a conversational tone? Be relaxed when you write the email and your tone will be relaxed. If you are tense or anxious, try a few belly breaths or take a short break out in the fresh air.
只是试着以一种轻松的语气来写邮件。这种语气就如同你如果在现实生活中遇到一个人进行的一次轻松的交谈。写出来有点像你在说话。那么你的邮件就具有交谈的语气。你们两人之间的也会常常友好而且更加自然。怎么以交谈的语气来写信呢？在你写信时放松，你的语气也会放松。如果你感觉紧张或者忧虑，试着些深呼吸或者到屋外新鲜空气里休息一会。
5. Messing up your contact information.
5.方式杂乱无章
He you included all the necessary information on how to get a hold of you? What is your phone number or fax number? When are you ailable for calls? What is most likely the quickest way to get a hold of you? And, finally, don't forget to triple check the addresses and digits for your website, phone etc.
你把你所有方式的必要信息都写进去了吗？你的电话或传真是多少？你什么时候能够接电话？最快可能到你的方式是什么？最后，不要忘了多次检查你的地址信息和网站、电话等的数字正确与否。
6. Using email in the first place.
6. 首先考虑使用电子邮件
(这个翻译小猪觉得有点问题，按照下文的解释，这里应该是在交流的最初阶段使用电子邮件。如果交流深入的话，就要考虑电话或者面谈了。)
When phone or face to face is better. There is certainly a larger risk for misunderstandings if you use email. There is no body language or voice tonality to convey nuances and emotions. And emoticons can only go so far.If you he a possibly emotional issue to bring up consider using the phone or meeting face to face instead. No point in creating totally unnec[收起]
