英文信件回复妙招

lavender_88

许多人在写信的时候，都需要在签名之前写一下致意词，用以提高信件的书面正式程度。在英文信件中，常见的致意词有：Cheers, Sincerely, Regards, Best Wishes，那么很多人都有这样的疑问，英文信件最后 Cheers, Sincerely, Regards, Best Wishes 到底有什么区别？分别应该在什么语境下使用呢？

今天我们就来看一看在什么场合该使用什么敬语，先说几个最常见的：

• Cheers, 常用于朋友，工作团队之间，类似互相鼓励，大家说“加油”。这个词很Casual，听起来不是很职业化，不建议用在非常正式的工作场合。
• Sincerely, 是比较正式的场合使用，套话，真诚的，用于推荐信，辞职信，求职信，以及其他正式文书等。
• Regards, 大致像“此致敬礼”的感觉。
• Best wishes/warm wishes，友好而亲切的慰问感觉，适用于朋友之间，亲朋之间的问候。
  

以上只是一些非常常见的致意语，需要根据收件人的身份以及文章的语气内容选择，如果你实在不知道该用哪个，其实简单的Thanks就可以了。

下面我们再看看其他常用的致意词的用法：

@Brian：
There are some slight differences in connotations of each letter ending. I'll order them in increasing formality.
在英文信件中，结尾词所表达的涵义往往存在着一些细微的差别。在这里我将一一对它们进行详细分析。

Love 爱你
Very personal. Used between lovers, family and close friends.
一种非常私人的表达方式。通常在恋人、家人或亲密朋友之间才会使用。

Cheers 谢谢/再见
Very casual. Used between friends. Can be used between coworkers if you want to appear very casual, at the risk of sounding unprofessional.
一种很随便的非正式的表达方式。通常在朋友之间使用，也可以用于同事或合作伙伴之间表现得很随便，但难免会让人觉得不够专业。

Take care 保重
Casual and used between friends.
一种非正式的表达，常用于朋友之间。

Thanks or Thank You 谢谢
'Thanks' is very casual and 'Thank You' is formal. Usually used in a business setting. 'Thank You' is a great way to end an email to a stranger, especially if you are making a request or asking a question.
“Thanks”是一种比较随便的表达方式，“Thank you”则显得比较正式。两者通常在商务场合中使用。此外，当你需要给不认识的人写信，尤其是当你需要向对方发出请求或询问问题的时候，“Thank you”就非常合适用来作为结尾语。

Yours or Yours Truly or Truly 敬启/谨启
Casual or Business casual. A more personal, but still polite way to end the letter. You've probably met the recipient in real life.
一种随便的或商务上非正式的表达方式。作为信件结尾往往显得比较私人，但又不失庄重。收件人通常是你在现实生活中认识的人。

Best or Best Wishes祝好
Casual or Business casual. A polite way to end the letter. Can be used between friends or strangers.
一种随便的或商务上非正式的表达方式。作为信件结尾，是一种礼貌用语，可用于朋友或陌生人之间。

Sincerely or Sincerely Yours or Yours Sincerely谨致问候
Casual, Business casual or Formal. The standard letter ending. 'Sincerely' is the most versatile ending because it can be used to end either casual or formal correspondence. If you're unsure about how to sign your letter, use 'Sincerely'.
一种随便的、商务中非正式的或正式的表达方式。“Sincerely”可以用于正式的或非正式的邮件往来中，是最通用的结尾语。当你不知道该用什么结尾语的时候，就可以使用“Sincerely”。

Regards or Best Regards致敬
Business casual or formal. You would use this if the recipient is someone you haven't met in real life.
一种商务上非正式的或正式的表达方式，可以在当收件人并非你在现实生活中所认识的人的时候使用。

Cordially诚挚地问候/敬上/谨上
Formal. Used in business correspondence when the topic of the letter is serious. Sometimes used if there is a conflict between the sender and the recipient.
一种正式的表达方式，通常在涉及严肃话题的商业信函中使用，有时候也用于存在矛盾或分歧的两个寄件人和收件人之间。

Using an ending that is too casual for the situation may not always be inappropriate. Conversely, using a casual ending can show your self-confidence. But to do this requires you to gauge whether the recipient would like a more casual conversation.
在书信中使用非常随便的、非正式的结尾语并非总是不恰当的。相反，非正式的结尾反而能够表达出你的自信，但同时你也需要判断收件人是否愿意使用更随便一点的方式和你交谈。

通常来说，在信件末尾使用正式致意词会显得发信人非常礼貌和自信，但是也要考虑一下收件者的心理，是否喜欢你和他（她）这样过于正式有距离的感觉，所以非正式的致意词在我们的生活中仍然占有相当重要的位置。

下面是各种敬语的图形总结：
