外贸英语函电答案

外贸英语函电答案

边距对于给读者留下好的视觉印象非常重要,边距应该产生好的画面效果,左右边距通常为30毫米,简要的信函的边距可以宽至34毫米。

4.第二页的写法除了销售信以外,商务信函通常只写一页,但是有时信息太复杂也可包含两页或多页。

当你需要写的内容超过一页时,第二页的信头可采用如下形式,内容包括收信人姓名,日期,页码。

比如:(2) -Page 2- The Universal Trading Co. Jan.7, 2009“-to be continued-”(待续)这一短语可以加在第一页页尾的右侧,第二页纸张的质量、尺寸和颜色要与第一页一致。

第2节商务信函的格式和信封的写法有几种可接受的商务信函写作格式,其中三种格式是最常使用的:缩格式、平头式和半平头式(或混合式)。

1. 商务信函的格式(1)缩格式信内名称地址部分每行都比上一行缩进3到5个空格,正文部分每一段的第一行也要缩进3到5个空格。

第二章中Letter-2(1)就是采用这种格式。

(2)平头式在这种形式下,每一行都从左边空白边缘写起,但是有时信头可以放在中间。

段落之间有加一空行。

这种风格更加受欢迎,因为它使信件看起来更加平衡,更容易打字。

第二章中Letter-2(2)就是采用平头式。

(3)半平头式(混合式)它是上述两种风格的混合形式。

信内名称和地址部分用平头式,正文中每一段的第一行用缩格式或者反过来。

第二章中Letter-2(3)就是采用这种混合格式。

2. 信封地址的写法通常来说,发信人的姓名和地址放在信封的左上方,收信人的姓名和地址放在信封中央。

信封上的地址可以用两种形式来写:缩格式和平头式。

内容和风格要与信内名称和地址相一致。

平头式:以下几种情形下,信封地址需要加入特别标记:✧如果信件是通过中间人而不是邮政系统传递给收信人,中间人名字后需加“Kindnessof ”, “By courtesy of”, “By favor of ” or “With favor of ”类似的语句。

How many modes of payment are there in international trade?Generally speaking, there are three major modes of payment used in inernaional trade,they are remittance(which include M/T, T/T and D/D), collection (which includes D/P andD/A) and L/C.

What is the main difference between D/P, D/A, and L/C?Among them, on the security(safety) L/C>D/P>D/A;L/C and D/P can be divided into at sight or after sight, while D/Ais usually after sight;By L/C and D/P, you will not transfer the B/L until you get the payment; while the D/A youwill transfer the goods to the buyer without get any payment but promise only.3. If the exporter and the importer do not know each other well and are located in countriesthousands of miles apart, what payment mode do you suggest? And why?I would like to suggest payment by L/C.
