短文 传真

当今传真和电子邮件是办公室现代化的象征。传真正取代电传和电报，成为最高效的通讯工具之一。下面是一例传真:

（公司名称）

（电话号码）              （传真号码）          （电子邮件地址）

发往：伟业贸易有限公司                            发自：艾瑞克王

收件人：简钟林先生                            文件编号：

传真号码：2496871                                  日期：1996.8.18.

电话号码：248066                              

传真页数：1

事由：飞机票

      您96年8月15日的传真己收到。

      史密斯先生飞往东京机票己购妥，航班CK6320，日期11月3日，16：40起飞，票款人民币4400元。我公司韩先生将在北京机场与史密斯会面并将机票转交给他。

      谨此致意

                                                                                                                              艾瑞克.王

Main points of the text

Dialogue A

1. Would you please take a message?

  如果你想请对方留个口信，只需把take换成leave。

2. Evans & Sons Co. Ltd. Can I help you?

  接听商务或其它公务电话要先自报家门，再说Can I help you? 这是程式。

3. your computer Model ABI

  产品的型号、名称属于专有名词，要大写。

4. No problem. 没问题。

  很有把握时这样说。

Dialogue B

1. Wang Ling, a salesman, calls to speak to Mr Black, the manager of the Wright Company, Mr Black is not in and his secretary answers.

a salesman和the manager of the Wright Company分别是Wang Ling和Mr Black的同位语。

answer后面省略了宾语the phone/call, 于是我们又发现一个词组：answer the phone/call。象这类隐藏起来的词组希望同学们慧眼识别。另外，听到门铃或敲门声去开门是answer the door; 写回信是answer the letter 或write back。

2. You see, …

you see 的作用有点类似于you know，只是意思更实在，可以译成“你看”，也可以不译，用于向别人说明自己的看法、处境等。

3. Your products are of great interests to me.

不要译成“你们的产品对我很感兴趣”。

be interested in 也是“对…感兴趣”，区别在于sth. be of interest( n.) to sb.，sb. be interested (adj.) in sth.

4. Would you please give me some information on your new products for our advertising program?

注意介词的用法。on表示内容，也可以换成about。for 表示目的。

eg. a book/report on/about internet 一本/份有关国际互联网的书/报告

另外，这句话中含有双宾语结构：

Would you please   give            me        some information?

                               及物动词  间接宾语         直接宾语

More examples(再如):

Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the nearest bank?  请问往最近的银行怎么走？

关于祈使句和双宾语的详细情况请参考本课语法。

Passage

本课以传真为例让同学们了解商务文体。

1. 传真和商务信函类似，有相对固定的格式。除了各项目具体内容和签名外，常常是印好的，同学们应该会套写这类简单应用文。

2. Your fax of 960815 was（be动词）received (过去分词).  这句话用了被动语态。

3. Purchased flight ticket to Tokyo on CJ6320 Nov. 3 16:40 for Mr Smith with RMB 4400.

传真、电报等措辞力求言简意赅，常用省略句、缩略语。这句话主要在前面省略了We have。have purchased 是现在完成时态。purchase 比buy正式。RMB来自“人民币”的汉语拼音。

4. Mr Han from our company will meet Mr Smith and hand over the ticket to him at Beijing Airport.

这句话用了一般将来时态。

动词词组hand over后面带双宾语。
