撰写外贸书信时应注意使用正确的语气,然而这一点在外贸英语函电课的教与学过程中常被忽视。外贸书信语气要亲切自然、谦恭有礼、心平气和、委婉诚恳、不卑不亢,不能一味从自己的立场着想,而应设身处地考虑对方的地位。 When writing a foreign trade letter, attention should be paid to using the correct tone, but this is often overlooked in the teaching and learning process of foreign trade English correspondence. The tone of foreign trade letters should be cordial and natural, courteous, polite, fair and honest, and neither humble nor embarrassed. They should not only consider their own positions, but should consider each other’s position.
