memo(备忘录)总体上应包括这几部分:To, From, Date, Subject以及正文部分。具体而言: To: 备忘录对象 如果具体到人,最好写出全名,尤其不能“重名”,如Bill Tom,Bill和Tom都是名(Given name),而不是姓(Family name),一个简单的处理方法就是use others name,比如男名Bill Gates, Michael Scofield, Jay Chou或女名Britney Spears, Jennifer Aniston等;若显示关系亲密,还可以把名字缩写,比如B Gates, M Scofield, J Chou, B Spears, J Aniston等;如果写给上级,还应该加上尊称甚至职位,比如M Bill Gates — Managing Director, M Jay Chou — Art Director等;现代商务写作中流行开放标点(Open Punctuation),即标点不影响理解的时候可以不用,所以M/M/M后面的省略点也可以省去,简单写成Mr/Ms/Mrs;最好不要省去名字。 From: 备忘录作者 要点同上,一般不用尊称,只有对方不知道自己身份的时候才后缀职位名称。 Date: 日期 BEC属于英联邦国家的考试,日期的写法一般为日、月、年,比如7 December 2002,注意月份用英文而不是数字,以免和日期混淆,可以缩写,比如将一月写作Jan(也可以用开放标点)。 范文示例 To: All Staff From: Bill Gates Date: 7 December 2002 Subject: Staff Reward The profits of our company this month went up 10% compared with the same period last year, due to your hard work and long working I would like to thank you for your long devoted A trip to Hawaii has been arranged next month as a Enjoy!
