典型句式:
"We learn your name and E-mail address from [来源,如贸易目录/商会推荐]..."
"We owe your name to [来源,如展会/老客户介绍]..."
结构示例:
开头:说明从何处获得对方联系方式(如“我们通过欧洲商会了解到贵公司…”)。
主体:简要介绍自身业务范围(如“我司专营棉织品进出口…”),表达合作意愿。
结尾:附寄资料(如目录、价目表)并期待回复。
示例:
"We obtained your contact details from the Trade Directory of EU Countries. We specialize in cotton piece goods and are keen to explore cooperation. Enclosed please find our latest catalogue..."
格式二:展会/展会后跟进型信函
特点:以展会或展览会为切入点,强调现场交流或初步印象。
典型句式:
"We had a pleasant talk at the fair/exhibition and learned that you are interested in [产品]..."
"The exhibition gave us a general idea of your line of business..."
结构示例:
开头:提及展会互动(如“在广交会上与贵方销售经理交流后…”)。
主体:补充说明公司优势(如“我司产品品质上佳,价格合理…”),提出具体合作建议。
结尾:附寄补充资料并期待进一步联系。
示例:
"It was a pleasure meeting your sales manager at the fair. We handle various types of raw materials and believe our favorable prices will interest you. We enclose herewith a detailed business outline..."
格式三:推荐/介绍型信函
特点:通过第三方推荐或权威渠道引荐,增强可信度。
典型句式:
"Through the courtesy of [推荐方,如中国驻外商务参赞处]..."
"On the recommendation of our old customer [客户名称]..."
结构示例:
开头:说明推荐来源(如“承蒙贵国商会推荐…”)。
主体:强调自身信誉和业务实力(如“我司在欧盟国家享有高声誉…”),附上资质证明。
结尾:表达合作诚意并附寄信用文件。
示例:
"We are writing on the introduction of the Chinese Commercial Counselor's Office. We are a leading exporter of Chinese silk goods with excellent financial standing. Enclosed are our credit references under separate cover..."
总结
这三种格式分别适用于不同场景:
信息来源型:适合初次接触,需快速建立信任。
展会型:强调互动基础,适合深化已有联系。
推荐型:利用第三方背书,适合需要资质证明的场合。
实际写作时可根据具体情境组合使用,并灵活调整“随函附寄”或“另封邮寄”等细节表达。
(单项选择题) We are ______ in importing your table cloths. ( )
A. interest
B. interesting
C. interested
D. interests
【答案】C
【解析】be interested in 是固定搭配,表示“对……感兴趣”。主语 We 是人,表示主观上的兴趣,应用 interested。interest 作名词时表示“兴趣”,interesting 表示“有趣的”,interests 表示“利益;兴趣点”,均不符合此处用法。
【要点】考查固定搭配 "be interested in" 的用法。
1.(单项选择题) If any of the items is ______ to you, please let us know. ( )
A. interest
B. of interest
C. of interesting
D. interested
【答案】B
【解析】sth. be of interest to sb. 是固定搭配,表示“某物对某人来说是有趣的/有吸引力的”。此处 items 是物作主语,应用此结构。interest 作名词时不能直接修饰名词,of interesting 的用法错误,interested 通常用于人作主语的结构中。
【要点】考查固定搭配 "sth. be of interest to sb." 的用法。
2.(单项选择题) We have obtained your name and address ______ Shanghai Textiles Import and Export Corporation.
A. to
B. from

3.(单项选择题) We are looking forward to ______ your latest catalogues. ( )
A. receive
B. accept
C. receiving
D. receipt
【答案】C
【解析】look forward to 中的 to 是介词,后面应跟名词或动名词(-ing 形式)。receive 是动词原形,accept 是动词原形,receipt 是名词“收据;收到”,只有 receiving 是动名词,符合语法结构。
【要点】考查 "look forward to doing sth." 结构中 to 为介词的用法。
1.(单项选择题) We shall it if you would send us some catalogues. ( )
A. grateful
B. appreciate
C. be appreciated
D. thank you
【答案】B
【解析】本题主要考察 appreciate 这个动词的用法。appreciate 后面跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语。本句中 appreciate 后面跟代词 it,所以本题应选 B。如果该词用作被动语态,应该变成 "It will be appreciated if..."。
【要点】考查动词 appreciate 的用法,其后可跟代词作宾语。
2.(单项选择题) We'd like to introduce ourselves to you that we may have the opportunity to cooperate with you. ( )
A. hoping to

【要点】考查动词 hope 后接从句的用法。
