摘 要
 隨著經(jīng)濟全球化的迅猛發(fā)展以及中國加入世界貿(mào)易組織WTO，國際間商務(wù)活動日益頻繁，商務(wù)英語的重要性日益突出，商務(wù)英語函電作為商務(wù)英語表現(xiàn)形式之一，逐漸成為人們在經(jīng)濟領(lǐng)域中交流的重要手段。它作為國際貿(mào)易及商務(wù)活動的基本工具和信息載體，通過它人們可以交流信息、建立貿(mào)易關(guān)系、商務(wù)洽談、磋商、處理問題等，可以說其產(chǎn)生于和服務(wù)于各種各樣的商務(wù)業(yè)務(wù)范疇之中。商務(wù)英語函電作為一種英語書面語具有很強的針對性和目的性，在措辭、句法、表達風(fēng)格和篇章建構(gòu)等方面都與一般的英文寫作有著很大的不同，它具有自己的獨特性。
 該文結(jié)合實例，分析其特點，并提出了商務(wù)信函的翻譯原則和技巧，目的是讓外貿(mào)相關(guān)人員更好的了解和運用，從而掌握一定的商務(wù)英語技能。最后，我真誠地希望，本文能給外貿(mào)相關(guān)人員起到一定的幫助作用。
