淺析中職學(xué)生英文求職信寫作實(shí)踐與研究中英翻譯Shallow of secondary vocational students English cover letter writing English translation practice and research在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)日益國(guó)際化的今天，英語課程在各中小學(xué)、各大中院校的學(xué)習(xí)中的地位也日漸重要，并受到各教育部門的廣泛重視。同樣，對(duì)于職業(yè)中學(xué)的學(xué)生來說，英語學(xué)科作為一門文化基礎(chǔ)課程，無論是對(duì)于就業(yè)班的學(xué)生還是對(duì)口班的學(xué)生來說，都有著舉足輕重的作用。筆者在多年的英語教學(xué)實(shí)踐中，發(fā)現(xiàn)英文求職信也是中等職業(yè)學(xué)校英語教學(xué)大綱中的一項(xiàng)重要內(nèi)容，而且英文求職信很具有寫作代表性。那么，我們應(yīng)該如何寫好一封英文求職信呢？筆者總結(jié)了一套簡(jiǎn)單易學(xué)的英文求職信的寫作方法，現(xiàn)拋磚引玉，淺談如下：In todays modern society increasingly international, English course learning in each primary and secondary schools, universities and middle schools are increasingly important in the position, and has been widely promoted by the education department. Also, for vocational school students, English subjects as a brilliant foundation course, both for employment or bridging class students, the students of class is of vital significance. In the many years of English teaching practice, the writer find English cover letter is also in the secondary vocational school English teaching outline is an important content, and cover letter in English is a representative in writing. So, we should be how to write a cover letter in English? The author summarized a set of easy to learn English cover letter writing method, presently, the author mainly as follows: 一、注意英文信件的格式One, pay attention to the format of the letter in English 英文信件的寫作在格式上與中文信件有所不同。一封完整的英文求職信由寫信日期、收信人地址、寄信人地址、稱呼、正文和署名等幾個(gè)部分組成。收信人地址和日期寫在右上角；寄信人地址寫在左上角，并且要在收信人地址和日期下方。稱呼寫在寄信人地址下面，空一至二行，頂格寫。筆者在多年教學(xué)中發(fā)現(xiàn)，學(xué)生們?cè)趯懙刂贰⑷掌?、稱呼及署名時(shí)更容易出錯(cuò)。下面舉幾個(gè)例子加以說明：地址的書寫要注意從小地點(diǎn)到大地點(diǎn)排列，例如：江蘇省南通市海安縣人民東路58號(hào)，英文可以表述為：No. 58， Renmin East Road， Haian， Nantong， Jiangsu。日期的書寫一般為月、日、年，“日”后面要加逗號(hào)，例如：September 27， 2012。稱呼后一般用逗號(hào)，例如：Dear Sir，。而學(xué)生們很容易將逗號(hào)標(biāo)成冒號(hào)，所以平常教學(xué)中對(duì)此點(diǎn)要經(jīng)常加以強(qiáng)調(diào)。署名一般寫在右下角，署名上方要寫上禮貌語，并加上逗號(hào)，一般為：Yours sincerely，； Sincerely yours，； Yours truly，； Truly yours，等。這些在英文信件寫作教學(xué)中都不能忽視。英文信件正文應(yīng)在稱呼下面空一至二行，在書寫格式上又有齊頭式和折中式兩種書寫方式。如用齊頭式格式書寫，每段第一句頂格寫，不需空格，一般用在商業(yè)等正式信件中使用；如用折中式格式書寫，第一段第一句第一個(gè)單詞應(yīng)寫在Dear后的正下方，以后每段第一個(gè)單詞都必須與第一段開頭對(duì)齊。English correspondence writing with Chinese letters on the format is different. A complete English cover letter from the date of writing, the recipient address, return address, call, text and a signature of several parts. The recipient address and the date in the upper right-hand corner; Sender address in the upper left corner, and in the recipient address and the date below. Address written below the sender address, empty one or two lines, thus to write. The author found in the years of teaching, the students in writing the address, date, name and signature when more error prone. The following a few examples to illustrate: address of the writing should pay attention to arrange big from place to place, such as: Nantong of Jiangsu province peoples East Road No. 58 HaiAnXian, English can be expressed as: No. 58, Renmin East Road, Hai an, Nantong, Jiangsu. Date of writing, generally for the month, day, year, put a comma at the end of "days", for example: September 27, 2012. After the call general use commas, for example: Dear Sir,. While the students easily labelled commas into the colon, so to this point in the usual teaching often should be emphasized. Names are written in the lower right corner, above the signature write polite language, and add a comma, is commonly: Yours sincerely,; Sincerely yours,; Yours truly,; Truly yours, etc. These cannot be ignored in the English letter writing teaching. English letters of text should be empty one or two lines under the call, in written form and with full block and the two Chinese writing. As written in full block form, every period of the first sentence written thus, without Spaces, commonly used in business and so on used in formal letters. If use Chinese writing format, the first section of the first word should be written in the first sentence right after Dear, later every period of the first word must be aligned with the first beginning. 二、掌握英文求職信正文的構(gòu)成Second, grasp the composition of the cover letter in English text 英文求職信正文的構(gòu)成一般為：第一段，你想申請(qǐng)的職位以及從何獲得招聘信息；第二段，自我介紹，包括所受教育程度，個(gè)人能力，個(gè)人所擁有的與這一職位相關(guān)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)等；第三段，說明你會(huì)隨信寄出的附件，比如履歷表，照片等；第四段，表達(dá)謝意。English cover letter to the body of the composition of the general as follows: the first paragraph, you want to apply for the position and how to obtain recruitment information; The second paragraph, introduce yourself, including the level of education, personal ability, person has related to the job experience, etc.; The third paragraph, you can follow mail attachments, such as resume, photo, etc.; In the fourth paragraph, express your thanks. 提到寫英文求職信，好多同學(xué)都反映不知如何寫起，寫些什么。通過多年的求職信寫作教學(xué)，考慮到職中學(xué)生英語基礎(chǔ)薄弱的現(xiàn)狀，筆者總結(jié)出了一套讓學(xué)生易學(xué)易寫的方法。在每次練習(xí)寫作求職信之前，我會(huì)讓學(xué)生提前做好準(zhǔn)備，讓他們課前到圖書館、網(wǎng)絡(luò)等地方搜集一封英文求職信，加以閱讀并初步了解正文是由哪些方面構(gòu)成的。學(xué)生想不到的部分，我會(huì)在課上用啟發(fā)的方法引導(dǎo)學(xué)生說全并加以整理板書。Mentioned writing English cover letter, a lot of students reflect dont know how to write, what to write. After years of cover letter writing teaching, consider starting the status quo of middle school students English foundation is weak, the author summarizes a set of method to let the students learn to write. Before every time practice writing a cover letter, I will let the students get ready for your, let them to class to gather in areas such as the library, Internet, an English cover letter, to read and a preliminary understanding of text is made up of what aspects. Part of students think not, I will use inspire guide students to say in class and finishing all blackboard writing. 二、 熟悉英文求職信正文的句式2, be familiar with the application letter of the text in English sentence 正文內(nèi)容的構(gòu)成同學(xué)們還比較好掌握，可是要將它很好地用英文正確地表述出來，對(duì)于大多數(shù)職中學(xué)生來說還是個(gè)難題。因?yàn)橛⑽牡膶懽餍枰綍r(shí)詞匯、語法及思維等各方面能力的積累，而中職學(xué)生由于英語基礎(chǔ)較差，想要順利獨(dú)立完成，顯然還是有一定難度的。Body content of the classmates are relatively good, but it will be very well in English correctly, is still a problem for most students. Because English writing needs to be at ordinary times of vocabulary, grammar and the ability of thinking and so on various aspects accumulation, while secondary vocational students as English foundation is bad, want to smooth, independently clearly still has the certain difficulty. 針對(duì)這一情況，筆者將英文求職信的寫作方法加以歸納，總結(jié)出了一些學(xué)生易掌握好記憶的固定的基本句式。事實(shí)上，英文求職信的寫作有一定的固定模式，其中的句式也有一些基本句型。例如在第一段中要提及你想申請(qǐng)的職位及何處獲得招聘信息，常用句式及例句為：In reply to your advertisement in todays newspaper， I wish to apply for the position of secretary.或者Im writing to apply for the position of sales manager in your advertisement in yesterdays Nantong Daily. 等。Aiming at this situation, the author will be summarized by English cover letter writing method, summarizes some of the students has the good memory of fixed the basic sentence patterns. In fact, English cover letter writing has certain fixed patterns, the patterns also have some basic sentence patterns. Such as mentioned In the first paragraph to where you want to apply for the position and get the recruitment information, commonly used sentence patterns and the example for: In reply to your advertisement In today s newspaper, I wish to apply for the position of secretary, or I m writing to apply for the position of sales manager In your advertisement In yesterday s Nantong Daily, etc. 第二段自我介紹部分要介紹自己所畢業(yè)學(xué)校，所學(xué)專業(yè)，學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)，所擁有的與這一職位相關(guān)的能力。例如想應(yīng)聘一份計(jì)算機(jī)操作員的工作時(shí)，需要寫清楚以下內(nèi)容：I graduated from Shuanglou Vocational High School and majored in Computer Science. （畢業(yè)學(xué)校、所學(xué)專業(yè)） During my study， I got straight As in all my subjects.（學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)） I have the certificate for National Computer Test Band 2. I won the first prize in CAD in our school.（與所應(yīng)聘職位相關(guān)專業(yè)的能力） During the summer holidays， I worked in Hengxuan Clothing Company and served as a computer operator. It enables me to apply what Ive learned in the book to the work. And I also learned how to cooperate with others in the work. （相關(guān)工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)） 對(duì)于中職學(xué)生來說自我介紹部分是最難寫的，但是只要掌握這些基本內(nèi)容構(gòu)成及常用句式，寫好這一段并不是難事。The second section of the self-introduction part to introduce their school and major, academic performance, ability to have associated with the job. 例如想應(yīng)聘一份計(jì)算機(jī)操作員的工作時(shí)，需要寫清楚以下內(nèi)容：I graduated from Shuanglou Vocational High School and majored in Computer Science. （畢業(yè)學(xué)校、所學(xué)專業(yè)） During my study， I got straight As in all my subjects.（學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)） I have the certificate for National Computer Test Band 2. I won the first prize in CAD in our school.（與所應(yīng)聘職位相關(guān)專業(yè)的能力） During the summer holidays， I worked in Hengxuan Clothing Company and served as a computer operator. It enables me to apply what Ive learned in the book to the work. And I also learned how to cooperate with others in the work. （相關(guān)工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)） 對(duì)于中職學(xué)生來說自我介紹部分是最難寫的，但是只要掌握這些基本內(nèi)容構(gòu)成及常用句式，寫好這一段并不是難事。 第三段主要提一下你會(huì)隨信寄出的附件。一到兩句話就可以了。例如：I am enclosing a brief resume as you requested.（應(yīng)你們要求，我附上了一份我的簡(jiǎn)歷。） 還可以加上一句：Please send any application forms that you want me to fill out and let me know if you want an interview.（請(qǐng)寄給我我需要填寫的表格，而且如果我需要面試，也請(qǐng)你們告知我。）The third paragraph mainly will be sent by mail mention you in the attachment. One or two sentences. For example, I am enclosing a brief resume as you requested. (should you request, I enclose a copy of my resume.) Can also add: both Please send any application forms that you want me to fill out and let me know if you want an interview. (Please send me I need to fill out the form, and if I need to interview, Please inform me, too.) 第四段要客氣委婉地表示想要獲得這一職位的心愿以及表達(dá)謝意。例句如下：I look forward to hearing from you and appreciate your consideration of my application. （我期待你們的回復(fù)；如若考慮我的申請(qǐng)，我將不勝感激。） 或者 I would be very appreciated if you can take my application into consideration. （如果你們能考慮我，我將不勝感激。）或者表決心I will do my best to do the job if you can give me the chance to work for your company.（如果你們能給我這份工作的機(jī)會(huì)，我將盡我最大努力來做這份工作。）The fourth paragraph should mention it gently insist they want want to get the job, and express your thanks. Example is as follows: I look forward to an from you and appreciate your consideration of my application. (Im looking forward to your reply, if consider my application, I will be appreciated.) Or whenever I very is included the if you can take my application into consideration. (if you can consider me, I will be very grateful.) Vote or heart I will do my best to do the job if you can difference me the chance to work for your company. (if you can give me the job chance, I will try my best to do the job.) 四、歸納英文求職信的注意事項(xiàng)Fourth, induction of English cover letter matters needing attention 同學(xué)們?cè)趯懲暌环馔暾那舐毿藕螅赡芫陀X得已經(jīng)大功告成了，有的同學(xué)只粗略的讀一遍就上交作文了，其實(shí)這樣做是不妥的。筆者在平時(shí)的英語教學(xué)中總是讓學(xué)生習(xí)慣總結(jié)歸納，以便更快更有效地掌握英語知識(shí)。在英文求職信的寫作教學(xué)中，我也是如此。我讓學(xué)生總結(jié)口訣“一式二頭三寫”，這里，“一式”指格式；“二頭”指開頭和結(jié)尾；“三寫”指大小寫，拼寫，書寫。另外再檢查正文的幾個(gè)構(gòu)成是否完整，每個(gè)構(gòu)成在表述上是否簡(jiǎn)練，完整，準(zhǔn)確。這樣一封完整的英文求職信才能算是完成了。筆者在多年的英文求職信寫作教學(xué)中，發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣的教學(xué)程序?qū)τ谥新殞W(xué)生來說還是比較能接受的。Students after the write a complete letter of application, may feel accomplished already, some classmates just roughly read it again to hand in a composition, in fact it is inappropriate to do so. The author in the usual English teaching always let students habits summarized, in order to more quickly and effectively to master English knowledge. In teaching English cover letter writing, I also is such. I ask students to summarize formula "duplicate first three written," here, "a type" means the format; "Two head" refers to the beginning and end; "Three" refers to the case, spelling and writing. Another check body several form is complete, each composition on expression is concise, complete and accurate. Such a full English cover letters can be done. The author in teaching English cover letter writing for many years, found that such teaching program for secondary vocational students is acceptable.
