哪些神句可以拯救你的電子郵件？

基本格式是萬(wàn)變不離其宗的：標(biāo)題，稱謂（抬頭），開頭寒暄，正文，結(jié)尾感謝，落款。

1. 標(biāo)題

簡(jiǎn)潔明了，單刀直入。Appointment / Missed Class / Inquiry on assignment / Question about Week 4 Reading Material 等。

2. 稱謂

稱謂很重要，不要給所有的老師都亂戴Professor的帽子。有的學(xué)者會(huì)對(duì)自己的頭銜很敏感，如果人家只是Lecturer你跑去叫一聲Professor會(huì)亂尷尬一把。如果是Professor你卻叫了Dr.，就是擅自給人家降了級(jí)，雖然人家不見得會(huì)真心介意，但小心駛得萬(wàn)年船你說對(duì)吧。保險(xiǎn)的做法是上網(wǎng)搜一下老師的個(gè)人頁(yè)面，頁(yè)面上的頭銜是什么你就寫什么。Dr.的情況比較多。Tutor如果是postgraduate student，一般可以直接叫名字，但如果是社會(huì)人或者已經(jīng)取得博士頭銜的，也要酌情調(diào)整。

舉個(gè)栗子。對(duì)這位就是不能叫Dr.的。

3. 開頭寒暄

開頭寒暄需根據(jù)你和對(duì)方的熟悉程度酌情選擇。

(1) Thank you for reading this email. / Thank you for taking time to read this email.

適用于不熟悉的大課老師、套磁學(xué)術(shù)大牛、和你沒有見過面的人。首先感謝對(duì)方和你素不相識(shí)卻愿意花時(shí)間閱讀你的郵件。屬于非?？蜌獾挠谜Z(yǔ)。

(2) I am XXX （姓名，年級(jí)）in your XXX class (課程名）and I'm writing to _________.

對(duì)于任課老師或本校老師，可以省去第一句的感謝直接自我介紹并說明來意。一定要在郵件的最開頭簡(jiǎn)單明了的說明你的目的。

(3) I hope you are having a good summer / Christmas / Easter holiday.

和比較熟悉的老師在假期前后發(fā)郵件可以加上時(shí)令寒暄。

(4) I am resending the e-mail in case you did not receive it the first time.

如果老師過了三四天甚至一周都沒回復(fù)你的郵件，不要指責(zé)人家，用這句委婉的開頭重發(fā)一次。

4. 正文

(1) I have reviewed your faculty profile and am interested in the work that you have done. I was intrigued by your journal article, "Article Title."

套磁用。表示你了解這位老師的研究方向，做了功課。

(2) I would appreciate a meeting at your convenience. These are my available hours (xxxxx), so please let me know if any of those times would work with your schedule.

約見用。多提供一些你可以去見面的時(shí)間供對(duì)方選擇。

(3) Would it be okay if I come to your office hours this week to talk about this, and if not, would you be willing to schedule an appointment with me?

同樣是約見用。

(4) I would appreciate the chance to talk with you about your research in ______ (topic) and about possible undergraduate opportunities in your lab.

套磁，求研究助理工作。

5. 結(jié)尾

結(jié)尾一般做兩件事，一是感謝對(duì)方愿意讀完你的郵件以及可能對(duì)你做出的幫助，二是再次提醒對(duì)方你需要TA做的事情（回復(fù)你的郵件、提供可約見的時(shí)間等等）。

(1) A response would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

表示希望對(duì)方回復(fù)你的郵件，非?？蜌獾挠谜Z(yǔ)。

(2) I look forward to hearing from you. / Looking forward to your reply.

希望對(duì)方回復(fù)。

(3) Thank you very much (for your time / help/ consideration.)

不管說了什么反正最后一定要謝一下。

6. 落款稱謂

比較正式：Yours sincerely, Best regards,

相對(duì)隨意：Cheers, Regards, Best

最后注意：

老師們通常很忙（或者很懶），不愛看長(zhǎng)篇大論的郵件。所以郵件的要領(lǐng)是突出重點(diǎn)，短小精悍，同時(shí)禮貌得體。Be short and sweet.
