02中式英语 20 组：不是语法错，是习惯错
下面这些句子语法大体没错，但一看就是非母语者写的。改的不是语法，是搭配与语感。
| 常见写法 | 地道写法 | 为什么 |
|---|---|---|
| Please be noted that the lead time is 25 days. | Please note that the lead time is 25 days. | note 在这里是祈使动词，不用被动 |
| Looking forward to hear from you. | Looking forward to hearing from you. | to 是介词，后面接动名词 |
| We are a factory which specialized in LED. | We are a manufacturer specialising in LED lighting. | 单复数与时态不一致；factory 在客户认知里偏「代工」 |
| The price is very cheap. | Our price is competitive for this specification. | cheap 在英文里含「劣质」意味，价格低要用 competitive |
| Please kindly find the attachment. | Please find the quotation attached. | attachment 前面不用 find；kindly 与 please 重复 |
| We will deliver the goods as soon as possible. | We will ship by 20 March. | asap 没有承诺，具体日期才有 |
| If you have any question, please contact me. | If you have any questions, just let me know. | question 可数，通常用复数 |
| We are sorry to inform you that... | Unfortunately, ... | 前者把情绪放前面；后者直接给事实 |
| Hope you can understand. | I hope this is acceptable. | 「希望你能理解」在英文里像在要求对方让步 |
| Please advise your opinion. | Could you let me know your view? | advise 后面不接 opinion；advise 多用于「建议 / 通知」 |
| I am writing to you to ask about the price. | I'm writing to ask about the price. | to you 冗余，writing to 后面直接接目的 |
| Enclosed please find our catalogue. | I've attached our catalogue. | old-fashioned；邮件时代用 attach |
| Our company has 20 years experience. | We have 20 years' experience. | 缺所有格；且 we 比 our company 更直接 |
| The goods will be sent to you by us next week. | We will ship the goods next week. | 被动 + 多余的 by us；谁做事谁当主语 |
| Please do the payment before Friday. | Please arrange payment by Friday. | do the payment 不是英文搭配 |
| We have received your payment already. | We confirm receipt of your payment. | 更短、更正式，也更像商务表达 |
| According to our discussion yesterday... | As discussed yesterday, ... | according to 用于引用第三方信息，不用于自己的讨论 |
| The quality is very good. | The panels meet your specification on all six test points. | 「质量好」是形容词；客户要的是可验证的事实 |
| Please give me your best price. | Please quote your best price for 1,000 pcs, FOB Ningbo. | 带上数量与术语，报价才有可比性 |
| Thanks for your cooperation. | Thank you for your help with the artwork. | cooperation 已被用成空话，说清谢什么 |
03六个语法与格式陷阱
① 不可数名词别加 s
information, advice, equipment, furniture, feedback, luggage, machinery 都是不可数。 写 informations、advices、equipments 是最常见的一类错。 要计数就用 a piece of information / two items of equipment。
② advice 与 advise 不是一个词
advice 是名词（不可数），advise 是动词。 Please advise 在商务邮件里是固定说法（意为「请告知」），但 Please advice 是错的。
③ a 还是 an，看读音不看字母
an MOQ（读 em）、an LED（读 el）、an hour、 a USD 12 price（读 you）、a one-off charge（读 won）。
④ 时态要区分「什么时候发生」
有具体过去时间 → 一般过去时：We shipped on 8 March.
已完成且影响现在 → 现在完成时：We have shipped your order; the tracking number is below.
规则与常态 → 一般现在时：Our MOQ is 300 pcs.
⑤ 标点必须全用英文
中文逗号「，」、顿号「、」、书名号「《》」、引号「"」在英文邮件里都是明显的破绽。 列举用逗号加 and（invoice, packing list and B/L），不要用顿号。 数字与单位之间留空格：1,000 pcs、4.2 cbm。
⑥ 货币、日期、单位写全
| 项目 | 不要写 | 写成 |
|---|---|---|
| 金额 | 12.4$、RMB 12.4 | USD 12.40、CNY 88.00 |
| 日期 | 2026/3/4、03.04.2026 | 4 March 2026、4 Mar 2026 |
| 数量 | 1000PCS | 1,000 pcs |
| 体积重量 | 4.2CBM 1180KG | 4.2 cbm, 1,180 kg |
04高风险词表：能换就换
| 词 | 风险 | 替换 |
|---|---|---|
| cheap | 暗示质量差 | competitive, economical, lower cost |
| asap | 没有期限，也不专业 | by 20 March / within 5 working days |
| kindly 每段都用 | 模板感强，像群发 | 整封最多一次，其余直接用 Please |
| sorry 连用三次 | 显得心虚，且没给方案 | 一次道歉 + 一句「我们做了什么」 |
| must / immediately | 除非跟合同条款，否则像命令 | we will need to / by 30 March |
| !!! 与全大写 | 被判为营销邮件或情绪化 | 正常大小写 + 一个具体数字 |
| obviously / of course | 暗示对方不懂 | As you may know / For reference |
| we will try our best | 等于没有承诺 | we will confirm by Thursday |
