在英语中,书面语和口语是两种不同的语
言风格。两种语言风格在读写和口头交流中起到不同的作用,也有不同的应用场景。
书面语(written language)通常是正式的、正面的,通常在教学、商务、政治和法律文件中使用。它不仅具有良好的语法和拼写,还需要精心组织和结构合理。书面语用于正式场合,如写论文、写简历、写商业文件等等。书面语还可以展示一个人的素质和文化修养。下面是一则英文书面语例子:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in the position of Marketing Manager, which was advertised on your website last week. I believe that my experience and skills make me a strong candidate for this role, and I look forward to discussing my application further with you.
In my current role at ABC Company, I have gained extensive experience in developing and implementing marketing campaigns that have increased brand awareness and sales revenue. I
am confident that my skills and expertise will enable me to make a significant contribution to your organization.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Smith
相比之下,口语(spoken language)在日常对话和非正式场合中用得更多,通常在聚会、讨论和社交活动中使用。口语不像书面语那样有规则,也不需要非常正式。口语在尽量自然而轻松地表达自我、了解别人的时候是很有用的。下面是一则英文口语例子:
Hey man, what’s up?
Not much, just chilling. What about you?
Same, just hanging out. Did you catch the game last night?
Nah, I missed it. Did you see anything good?
Yeah, it was a close one, but my team ended up winning in the end. It was intense.
Overall, both written language and spoken language are important aspects of English communication. They serve different purposes and are used in different situations. It is important to master both forms of language in order to communicate effectively and appropriately in various contexts.
