编者按：手机短信迅捷、便宜又有趣，它正变得像打电话一样普遍。这里有一些书写SMS 的方法，它可以帮你用英文来发送短信。这些也可以用在MSN，QQ等即使通信上哦。
Text me! 发我短消息!
English has a very difficult spelling system, and it can take a long time to spell out one word. So, many people now shorten words to speed up the process. This saves time, but it can also confuse people if they are not familiar with the current trends. Also, mastering the language of text messages first requires mastering English.
用英文写短信的困难在于拼写，拼一个单词就可能花费你很长的一段时间。因此，现在
许多人都通过缩短单词来加快拼写的速度。这样做节省了时间，但是如果不熟悉这些常用的缩写规则，你就会感到很困惑。另外，书写简练短信的第一步就是掌握英文。更多信息请访问：https://www.doczj.com/doc/474432250.html,/
SMS slang can be broken up into two basic categories: acronyms and contractions.
短信可分为两个基本部分：首字母缩写和缩略。
Acronyms 首字母缩写
Acronyms are words formed from the first letter of several words （such as UN for United Nations）. In text messaging, acronyms are used for common phrases. Additionally, single letters may replace words that they sound like. Check out these examples:
首字母缩写是由每个单词的第一个字母组合而成的，比如UN就是指United Nations.短信里，首字母缩写常常被用在习惯用语中。另外，发声相似的词会被字母取代。请看一些例子：
OIC- Oh I see.
BRB - Be right back
BFN - Bye for now
LOL - Laughing out loud
ASAP - As soon as possible
BTW - By the way
FYI - For your information
JK - Just kidding
TTYL - Talk to you later
Contractions 缩略
SMS contractions aren't the same as regular ones like "don't" or "they're", but the purpose is the same: to remove unnecessary parts of words while keeping the meaning clear. Vowels are often eliminated, but you can still make out the general sound of the word. The number 8 sometimes represents the sound of eight, so later becomes l8r. The number 4 is also common as a replacement for the for sound as is 2 for to. Take a look at these SMS contractions:
短信的缩略词不是指一些约定俗成的"don't" 或"they're"之类的缩略，但两者的目的是一样的：即当意思很清楚的时候可将一些不需要的词省略。元音常常会被省略，但是你仍然可以保留这个词的大概发言。数字8有时候会发eight，所以later就写成l8r.数字4通常也被取代成for，就像2这个音就替代了to.请看一些短信缩略词的例子：
Plz - Please
Thx - Thanks
Cya - See you
L8r - Later
K - OK
U - You
R - Are
B4 - Before
2morro - Tomorrow
As you can see, writing this way can be complicated, and you should have a good grasp of English before trying to shorten your messages. Using too many abbreviations will make your SMS confusing to the reader or look unprofessional with your business contacts.
你可以看出来，用缩写的方式写短信会比较复杂，当你试着想缩短你的短信时，你应该先浏览一遍英文。太多的缩写会给阅读者带来困惑，或者让你的商业交往显得不那么专业。
Can you keep a secret? 你可以替我保守秘密吗?
SMS is definitely convenient, but it should be used for casual conversations while keeping your audience in mind. You shouldn't be sending text messages to your boss! Additionally, remember that messages sent can easily be saved and retrieved, or even sent to the wrong person, so you may find yourself in an embarrassing situation if you are not cautious! The next time you want to send a very personal message think carefully before you press the "Send" button or you might end up sending your boss a message meant for your sweetheart!
发短信绝对很方便，但它应该限于比较随意的场合，且要让阅读者能看明白。你不要给你的老板发短信!另外，你要知道，短信很容易被保存并发给其他人，甚至是发给不该发的人。如果你不小心的话，就有可能将自己陷入非常尴尬的境地!所以下次在按下“发送”键发出非常隐私的短信的时候，一定要小心再小心，不然你可能会把发给情人的短信传给老板喔!
必学的外贸英语点滴
2009-4-1 10:02网络【大中小】【打印】【我要纠错】【加入收藏】
在外贸业务中，从报价到支付条件，再到催开信用证，再到后来的单据结汇，涉及到很多专业术语，我把自己总结的一些有关资料发个小贴，希望业内同行能用得上。（因有关报价篇层出不穷，这里就省了）
1.支付条件（Terms of payment）
（1）Our usual way of payment is by confirmed and irrevocable letter of credit available by draft at sight for the full amount of the contracted goods to be established in our favour through a bank acceptable to the sellers.
我们的一般付款方式是保兑的、不可撤销的、以我公司为受益人的、足额信用证，见票即付。信用证应通过为卖方认可的银行开出。
（2）For payment，we require 100% value，confirmed and irrevocable letter of credit with partial shipment and transhipment allowed clause，available by draft at sight，payable against surrendering the full set of shipping documents to the negotiating bank here.
我们要求用100%金额的、保兑的、不可撤销的信用证，并规定允许转船和分批装运，凭汇票向议付行交单即期付款。
（3）The letter of credit should be established with its clauses in confirmation with the terms and conditions of the contract.
信用证所开条款，必须与合约条款相符。
（4）We usually accept payment by L/C at sight draft or by T/T in advance，but never by C.O.D.
通常我们接受即期信用证付款或电汇。我们从不接受货到付款的办法。
2.催开信用证（Pressing for L/C）
（1）As the goods against your order No.111 have been ready for shipment for quite some time，it is imperative that you take immediate action to have the covering credit established as soon as possible.
由于贵方定单第111号之货已备待运有相当长时间了，贵方必须立即行动尽快开出信用证。
（2）We repeatedly requested you by faxes to expedite the opening of the relative letter of credit so that we might effect shipment for the above mentioned order，but after the lapse of 3 months，we have not yet received the covering L/C.
我们已经多次传真要求贵方从速开来有关信用证，以使我们装运上述定单之货。但是三个月过去了，仍未收到有关信用证。
（3）We hope that you will take commercial reputation into account in all seriousness and open L/C at once，otherwise you will be responsible for all the losses arising therefrom.
希望贵方认真考虑商业信誉，立即开证，否则，由此产生的一切损失均由贵方负责。
（4）The shipment time for your order is approaching，but we have not yet received the covering L/C.Pls do your utmost to expedite the same to reach here before the end of this month so that shipment may be effected without dealy.
贵方定单的装船期已经临近，但我们尚未收入到有关信用证，请尽最大努力从速将信用证在本月底开到，以便及时装运。
3.修改信用证（Amendment to L/C）
（1）Pls amend the foregoing L/C to read piece length in 30 yards instead of 40 yards.
请把上述信用证条款中匹长40码改为30码。
（2）We would draw your attention to the fact that the construction of our Art.No.3100S is 32X32 78X65 whereas your credit calls for 30X30 78X65.Therefor，you are requested to amend the credit according to the stipulationof the contract.
我们提请贵方注意，我方坯布的规格为32X32 78X65，而贵方信用证却规定30X30 78X65，故请按照合约规定修改信用证。
（3）Pls extend the shipment date and the validity of your L/C No.111 to the end of Jan. and Feb.15，2006 respectively，and see to it that the amendment adivce will reach us before the end of Dec.2005.
请将信用证111号的装运船和议付期分别展延至2006年1月底及2月15日，并请注意把修改书于2005年12月底前寄达我们这里。
（4）We have received your L/C No.111 covering the above -mentioned contract.But on
checking up its clauses，we find that it calls for shipment to be effected not latter than Nov.10，2005，whereas the contract stipulates shipment Dec.2005.Pls extend the shipment date to the Dec.15th 2005 and validity to the 31st of Dec.
上述合约项下的信用证111号已收到。但是经过核对条款，发现该证规定装期不迟于2005年11月，而合约规定装期为2005年12月份，为此请把该证装期展延至2005年12月15日，议付期展延至12月31日。
（5）We find that the amount of your L/C is insufficient，because the premiums for Dark and Special clours are not included therein.Therefore，please increase the amount of the L/C to $56，800.00.
我们发现由于信用证金额未包括深特色加价，因此信用证金额不足，请将信用证金额增至$56，800.00.
（6）Please amend the L/C to read "Partial shipments and transhipment allowed".
请将信用证修改为允许分批装运和转船。
4.特殊情况下的付款方式（Special arrangement for payment）
（1）As requested in your fax of Dec.2，2005，shipment of 20000yds will be effected under guarantee in the absence of the L/C amendment.Please，therefore，honour the draft accordingly.
按照贵方2005年12月2日来电，我们将在没有信用证修改书的情况下装运20000码，届时请予承付。
（2）As our records reveal that the proceeds of our shipment of Modelon Suiting in 20000yds are not yet received，please press your buyers to instruct their bank to effect payment immediately.
经查我方记录2万码毛涤纶花呢的货款迄未收到，请从速催买户通知银行付款。
（3）On our book，there is still a small balance of $648 ipen against you.There is no doubt that is must have been overlooked by you，and we expect a cheque from you soon in settlement of this account.
在我们的账面上，贵方仍欠我们一笔小的金额$648，无疑这已被贵方疏忽，我们盼望收到贵方的支票以结清此账。

（2）We regret our inability to comply with your request for shipping the goods in early Jan.，because the direct steamer sailing for Basrah calls on our port only around the 20th every month.

（3）As the only direct steamer which calls on our port once a month has just departed，goods can only be shipped next month.

办公室系列：档案
公司里的紧张程度是人所共知的。要是恰巧你的电脑坏了，要技术来修，你肯定想知道要等多久才能修好、再开始工作。那么这个用英语该怎么说呢？答案就在下面。
1. Where did you keep the files？
你的档案都放在哪里？
你把档案“放”哪里，一般情況下我们大概会说：Where did you put the files？其实说Where did you keep the files？也是可以的。严格说来put 是单纯“放”在那里，而keep 则有“保存”的意思。不过两者其实意思很接近。比方说你喝了牛奶还剩一些，我对你说：Please put the milk in the refrigerator. （請把牛奶放在冰箱。）或是Please keep the milk in the refrigerator. 都行。
2. How long is it gonna be？Probably？
大概要多久啊？
当我们请人家办一件事时，最不希望在那里苦等。所以呢，最好的办法就是先问一下：How long is it gonna be？（需要多久呢？）有时可以视情况在句尾加上Probably？就是请对方大概估算一下，不需太过精确。比方说你电脑坏了，要技术人员帮你修理，就不妨顺便问一下：How long is it gonna be？Probably？（大概需要多久？）这里gonna 是口语讲法，相当于going to.
像这种“大概多久”的问法，也可以用approximately 这个词。比方说：Approximately how long will it take to arrive home？（大概要多久才能到家呢？）
