商业信函在写作过程中与普通信函有很大的不同，包括用语、格式、语言的润色等等，它都有自身的特点。北京找我翻译公司在近10年的发展历程中，遇到很多商业信函翻译服务，主要语言多为英文，商业信函虽然专业性要求不是特别强，但在翻译过程中必须了解不同语种人的文化背景及用语习惯。在做中译英或者英译中，或者其它语言到英文的翻译时，英文的语言润色是知识点的重要表现，一定要多加注意。下面是商务书信写作中的几点注意事项，小心不要在你自己的工作中出现这样的错误哦!

1.切忌主客不分或模糊。例子: Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.应改为 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We决定呀, 不是report.)

2.句子不要零碎。 例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 两个句子应该连在一起：He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.

3.结构对称,令人容易理解。例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings. 应改为: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.

4.单复数不要搞乱，不然会好刺眼，看着不舒服。例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. 应改为 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.

5.动词和主语要呼应。想想这两个句子的分别: 1. This is one of the public-relations functions that is under-budgeted. 2. This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under-budgeted.

6.标点要准确。例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 应改为: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.

8.大小写要注意。除非必要不要整个词都大写，除非要骂人。例如: MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。要强调的话，用底线，斜字，粗体就可以了。

商业信函的应用场合，不仅是写信者所必须了解，同时翻译译员更应有深入的了解，在翻译之前，还必须了解客户的需求，与其进行良好的沟通。
