商務(wù)英語實(shí)戰(zhàn):如何寫好商務(wù)報(bào)告(下)1

字號:

(五)調(diào)查結(jié)果(Findings)
     報(bào)告的調(diào)查結(jié)果部分是報(bào)告建議的依據(jù),其內(nèi)容應(yīng)當(dāng)準(zhǔn)確無誤,結(jié)構(gòu)清晰,語言流暢、銜接。這部分內(nèi)容的每一個(gè)段落都應(yīng)當(dāng)有一個(gè)明確的主題句,一般放在段首,這樣便于讀者攝取這部分的信息。以下是這部分主題句寫作的常見句型:
     · The findings of the investigation indicate that…
     · It was proposed/found/ felt/discovered that…
     · It was generally the case that…
     · Most people thought/suggested that…
     · A number of people mentioned that…
     · Several changes were put forward.
     · Several staff members expressed the view that…
     若報(bào)告中需提供圖表統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)或描述行情走勢,撰寫人應(yīng)當(dāng)熟悉這方面寫作的常用句型,以下就是該方面寫作的一些典型句子結(jié)構(gòu):
     · The table/chart/graph/diagram/figure/statistics
     shows/describes/illustrates that…
     · As it can be seen from the table/chart/figure…
     · It is clear/apparent from the
     table/chart/graph/diagram/figure/statistics that…
     · The number of…increased/jumped/rose
     suddenly/rapidly/dramatically from…to…
     · The number of…decreased/dropped/fell greatly/significantly
     sharply from…to…
     · The number of…fluctuated slowly/slightly between…to…
     · The number of…remained steady/stable (stayed the same)
     between…to…
     · There was a (very) sudden/rapid/dramatic/significant
     increase/jump/rise in the number
     of…from…to…
     · There was a (very) sharp/steep/steady/gradual/slow/slight
     decrease/drop/fall in the
     number of…from…to…
     · The monthly profit/figures peaked in December at 10%.
     · The monthly profit/figures reached a peak/a high (point) in
     December at 10%.
     · The monthly profit/figures bottomed out in December at 10%.
     · Sales witnessed a great rise/increase/drop/fall between…to…
     (六)結(jié)論(Conclusions)
     報(bào)告的結(jié)論部分是寫報(bào)告的人在報(bào)告調(diào)查結(jié)果的基礎(chǔ)上是對調(diào)查結(jié)果進(jìn)行總結(jié)和解釋。同一調(diào)查結(jié)果會(huì)因?yàn)樽珜懻叩牟煌贸霾煌慕Y(jié)論,但這部分不應(yīng)當(dāng)包括報(bào)告前文中沒有提到的新的信息。
     (七)建議(Recommendations)
     建議往往是許多商務(wù)報(bào)告寫作的最重要部分。一份報(bào)告有效程度常常取決于報(bào)告中所提供的建議的質(zhì)量高低。建議部分主要內(nèi)容為報(bào)告撰寫人在經(jīng)過充分的論證后認(rèn)為應(yīng)當(dāng)采取的措施或行動(dòng)。報(bào)告人有時(shí)也會(huì)描述采取措施后可能出現(xiàn)的后果或情形。
     (八)附錄(Appendices)
     正式的商務(wù)報(bào)告為了增強(qiáng)報(bào)告的說服力或真實(shí)性往往會(huì)有一些附加材料,因其篇幅較長不宜放在報(bào)告當(dāng)中,只能選擇放在附錄中。這部分內(nèi)容可能包括圖表統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)、實(shí)驗(yàn)室報(bào)告、問卷調(diào)查等。當(dāng)然,簡短報(bào)告若無此需要?jiǎng)t不需增加附錄部分。
