【关键词】外贸英语函电；语气 外贸英语函电是集国际贸易实务、英语写作、营销、商务谈判及应用文写作等知识为一体，是国际贸易传递信息的主要媒介之一，得到了越来越广泛的使用和重视，是贸易双方彼此相互了解、进行贸易往来的主要途径，可以说是“以笔代口谈生意”。其作为商贸英语的一个分支，具有独特的语域并影响其语言形式。一则好的外贸英语函电除了词汇、语法上准确无误外，在语气的选择与使用上也是十分讲究的，函电使用的语气反映了写信人的态度，对读信的人心理影响很大，可能会影响到交易的成功与否，因此我们在撰写外贸书信时应注意使用正确的语气。然而，在外贸英语函电课的教与学过程中却往往忽视这一点。学生所写的信函即使在词汇、语法上准确无误，却往往语气生硬，违反了交际原则，则传递的信息不为对方乐意接受，无法达到写信的目的。这个问题亟待大家的重视。 一、语气要亲切自然 外贸函电是贸易双方相互往来的途径。读信的人与写信人一样有他自己的感情，我们不得忽视他的感受，他们是在以笔代口谈生意，因而使用的语言不能生硬呆板，冷冷冰冰，显得缺乏亲切感。一则上乘的外贸书信的秘诀就是轻松自然、简单明了，好像是在谈话，亲切友善。但有些人本性热情亲切，然而写起信函就忘了自已是在以笔代口谈生意，所用的文字结构显得冷漠，缺乏热情，如常称自己为“writer”（笔者），该说“I visited yourshowroom.”却说“The writer visited yourshowroom”。殊不知籍借强调你、我或我们的亲切的文句有助于产生比较适合函电的热情友好的语气。 二、谦恭有礼、心平气和 语气委婉谦恭有礼是商场上的重要法则，接待顾客要有礼貌，函电往来也要有礼貌。利奇（Leech，1983）认为言语交际除了讲究合作原则（Cooperative Principle）外，还要讲究礼貌原则（Politeness Principle）。有礼貌的信可博得对方的好感，诸如“Please”、“Thank you”、“We have pleasure”、“We regret that”等用语，定能使对方产生好感.有助

外贸函电原则 一、Courtesy 礼貌 语言要有礼且谦虚，及时地回信也是礼貌的表现。 例如： We have received with many thanks your letter of 20 May, and we take the pleasure of sending you our latest catalog. We wish to draw your attention to a special offer which we have made in it. You will be particularly interested in a special offer on page 5 of the latest catalog enclosed, which you requested in your letter of 20 May. 二、Consideration 体谅 写信时要处处从对方的角度去考虑有什么需求，而不是从自身出发，语气上更尊重对方。 例如： “You earn 2 percent discount when you pay cash. We will send you the brochure next month. ”就比“We allow 2 percent discount for cash payment. We won't be able to send you the brochure this month.”要好。
三、Completeness 完整 一封商务英语外贸函电应概况了各项必需的事项，如邀请信应说明时间、地点等，确忌寄出含糊不清的信件。 四、Clarity 清楚 意思表达明确，要注意： （一）避免用词错误： 例如：As to the steamers sailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco, we have bimonthly direct services. 此处bimonthly有歧义：可以是twice a month 或者once two month.故读信者就迷惑了，可以改写为：We have two direct sailings every month from Hong Kong to San Francisco. （二）注意词语所放的位置： 例如： 1. We shall be able to supply 10 cases of the item only. 2. We shall be able to supply 10 cases only of the item. 前者则有两种商品以上的含义。 （三）注意句子的结构：
