第一篇：商务英语口语 商务交谈常用礼貌用语

商务英语口语商务交谈常用礼貌用语

商务礼仪中，为了表现对外商或外宾的重视，同时又使商务活动达到双赢的目的，就不可避免使用到礼貌用语。大家对礼貌用语也并不陌生，基本从刚开始接触英语时就知道thanks，hello，hi，sorry等最简单的礼貌用语。另外，如交谈时对方因感冒而打喷嚏，对方会说：“Excuse me”，而你会说：“God bless you!”。来到商店，售货员会礼貌地问一句：“Can I help you, please?”。这些都是常用的礼貌用语。

商务活动中，因为场合相对比较正式，礼貌用语使用也会跟日常礼貌用语有些不同，下面我们列举一些商务交谈常用的礼貌用语供大家参考。

第二篇：英文商务信件礼貌用语

邮件的开头：

感谢读者是邮件开场白的好办法。感谢您的读者能让对方感到高兴，特别是之后你有事相求的情况下会很有帮助。

 Thank you for contacting us.如果有人写信来询问公司的服务，就可以使用这句句子

开头。向他们对公司的兴趣表示感谢。

 Thank you for your prompt reply.当一个客户或是同事很快就回复了你的邮件，一定

记得要感谢他们。如果回复并不及时，只要将“prompt”除去即可，你还可以说，“Thank you for getting back to me.”

 Thank you for providing the requested information.如果你询问某人一些信息，他们花

了点时间才发送给你，那就用这句句子表示你仍然对他们的付出表示感激。

 Thank you for all your assistance.如果有人给了你特别的帮助，那一定要感谢他们！

如果你想对他们表示特别的感激，就用这个句子，“I truly appreciate „ your help in resolving the problem.”Thank you raising your concerns. 就算某个客户或是经理写邮件给你对你的工作提出了一定的质疑，你还是要感谢他

们。这样你能表现出你对他们的认真态度表示尊重及感激。同时，你也可以使用，“Thank you for your feedback.”

在邮件的结尾：

在邮件开头表示感谢一般是表示对对方过去付出的感谢，而在邮件结尾处表示感谢是对将来的帮助表示感谢。事先表示感谢，能让对方在行动时更主动更乐意。

 Thank you for your kind cooperation.如果你需要读者帮助你做某事，那就先得表示感

谢。

 Thank you for your attention to this matter.与以上的类似，本句包含了你对对方将来可

能的帮助表示感谢。

 Thank you for your understanding.如果你写到任何会对读者产生负面影响的内容那

就使用这句句子吧。

 Thank you for your consideration.如果您是在寻求机会或是福利，例如你在求职的话，就用这封邮件结尾。

 Thank you again for everything you've done.这句句子可以用在结尾，和以上有所不同。

如果你在邮件开头已经谢过了读者，你就可以使用这句话，但是因为他们的帮助，你可以着重再次感谢你们的付出。
