비즈니스 이메일, 지양해야 할 영어 표현 (약자 및 축약어 사용해도 될까)영어 공부 2022. 11. 22. 23:01
무례하다고 생각되어지는 영어 표현
1) want to 는 너무 직접적인 표현이다 ?
I want to visit your company this coming Friday.
=> I would like to visit your company this coming Friday.
Q. Ready to order?
A. I want a tall Americano with a double shot.
=> I would like a tall ~
2) Please 만 붙인다고 정중한 표현은 아니다!
Please tell me by tomorrow.
=> Could you please let me know by tomorrow?
Open the window, please.
=> Would you mind opening the window? (mind + -ing)
3) don't care 는 조심 해야 할 표현
I don't care if you delay the meeting until tomorrow.
=> I don't mind if you delay ~
=> It's ok/fine if you delay ~
성의가 없다고 느껴지는 경우
1) 축약어는 되도록 지양하자.
If you'd informed us earlier, we could've taken care of this better.
=> If you had informed us earlier, we could have taken care of this better. (축약어는 지양)
Could you please resend the attachment ASAP?
Could you please resend the attachment as soon as possible / at your earliest convenience?
2) ~ 같은, ~ 등등 (like, and so on, etc .... ) 의 표현도 피하는 것이 좋다.
We sell appliances like TVs, microwaves, refrigerators, etc, on our website.
=> We sell appliances including TVs, microwaves and refrigerators on our website.
=> We sell appliances such as TVs, ~
