英文书信的构成可分为8个部分:
信头(Heading
日期(Date
收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address
称呼(Salutation
信文(Body of the letter
结束语(Complimentary close
署名(Signature
附言(P. S.
(1信头(Heading
信头是指发信人的单位名称或地址。一般情况下发信人只需把自己的地址写(打字,手写均可在信的右上角,离开信纸的顶头约1英寸,占二三行或四行均可,格式如下: ①齐头式
②缩进式
注意:写地址的次序与中文不同,应先写门牌号码街道,然后城市和国名。写地址时采用齐头或缩进式,以及每行后要不要加标点符号,都没有固定的规定。如写给经常往来的亲友,这项地址也可以省略。
(2日期(Date
写日期注意下列各点:
①年份应写全,例如不能用“99”来代替“1999”;
②月份应写英文名称,除May, July外,可用缩写,如:Sep., Oct.。但不要用数字来代替,如7/4/99 或7, 4, 99,因为在英国此日期代表 7th April,1999,而美国则代表4th July,1999。
③日期可用1,2,3,4…11,12…21,22…31等,也可用lst,2nd,3rd,4th…11th,21th…22nd…31st等。
日期的几种写法:
a.July 7,1998
b.1st October, 1998
c.30 Nov., 1997
d.Sep. 3rd, 1999
④特别注意英文书信日期应紧接着写信人地址下一行,不能像写中文书信那样写在书信签名之后,这是很多学生的常见错误。

The Father and His Son
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
一位父亲有几个孩子,这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们,只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的,有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时,他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中,吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试,总是不能成功。
然后他解开那捆柴,一根根地放在他们手里,如此一来,他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说:「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致,互相帮助,你们就像这捆柴一样,不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行,你们就将和这些散柴一般,不堪一折了。
“Why need our care?’
“Because from then on the aunt cannot do what they liked to along with her daughter. She is very pitiful. In her distress, making dinners and doing chores are also becoming so difficult. My dear, can you help Mother hit an idea to help the aunt in other ways?”
At her mother’s proposal, the girl thought for a long while. All of a sudden, she went to the neighbor and knocked at the door.
The neighbor with a look of haggardness and tiredness opened the door.
“What can I do for you?” asked the neighbor.
“I heard my mother say you’re very distressed for losing your daughter…” The girl timidly handed the band-aid tightly held in her hand to the neighbor.
The neighbor suddenly choked with sobs, her tears gushing from her eyes. She hugged the girl and said, “Thank you. This band-aid will cure my wound.”

“妈妈,您在忙什么呢?”还不到6岁的女孩,好奇的问妈妈。
“给邻居家的阿姨做饭。”
“为什么?”
“前几天阿姨失去了心爱的女儿,现在很伤心。我们这几天要好好照顾她。”
“为什么需要我们照顾呢?”
“阿姨以后不能和她女儿一起做他们喜欢做的事了,很可怜。人在极度悲伤时,做饭和料理家务也会变得很难。女儿,你能不能也帮妈妈想想其他能帮助阿姨做的'事呢?”
女孩听到妈妈的提议,认真的思考了很久,突然走到邻居家敲响了门。
一脸憔悴和疲惫的邻居开了门。
“有什么事吗?”邻居问道。
“听妈妈说,您因为失去了女儿,非常痛苦……”女孩羞涩的把攥在手里的创可贴递给了邻居。
“阿姨,把这个贴在胸口吧,那样你的心就不会痛了。”
邻居突然哽咽起来,泪水夺眶而出。她抱住女孩说:“谢谢,这个创可贴会治好我的伤口的。”
