导语：书信是相隔较远，暂时见不到面的人们相互交流情感与思想的工具。书信拥有悠久的历史且世界各国的人们都有使用。书信在人类的交流与沟通的历史上占有重要地位。下面是小编整理的英文亲人书信格式，希望对大家有所帮助。

1、信头(Heading)

指发信人的姓名(单位名称)、地址和日期，一般写在信纸的右上角。一般公函或商业信函的信纸上都印有单位或公司的名称、地址、电话号码等，因此就只需在信头下面的右边写上写信日期就可以了。

英文地址的写法与中文完全不同，地址的名称按从小到大的顺序：第一行写门牌号码和街名;第二行写县、市、省、州、邮编、国名;然后再写日期。标点符号一般在每一行的末尾都不用，但在每一行的之间，该用的还要用，例如在写日期的时候。

日期的写法，如1997年7月30日，英文为：July 30，1997(最为普遍); July 30th，1997;30th July，1997等。1997不可写成97。

2、信内地址(Inside Address)

在一般的社交信中，信内收信人的地址通常省略，但是在公务信函中不能。将收信人的姓名、地址等写在信头日期下方的左角上，要求与对信头的要求一样，不必再写日期。

3、称呼(Salutation)

是写信人对收信人的称呼用语。位置在信内地址下方一、二行的地方，从该行的顶格写起，在称呼后面一般用逗号(英国式)，也可以用冒号(美国式)。

(1)写给亲人、亲戚和关系密切的朋友时，用Dear或My dear再加上表示亲属关系的称呼或直称其名(这里指名字，不是姓氏)。例如：My dear father，Dear Tom等。

(2)写给公务上的信函用Dear Madam，Dear Sir或Gentleman(Gentlemen)。注意：Dear纯属公务上往来的客气形式。Gentlemen总是以复数形式出现，前不加Dear，是Dear Sir的复数形式。

(3)写给收信人的信，也可用头衔、职位、职称、学位等再加姓氏或姓氏和名字。例如：Dear Prof. Tim Scales, Dear Dr.John Smith。

4、正文(Body of the Letter)

位置在下面称呼语隔一行，是信的核心部分。因此要求正文层次分明、简单易懂。和中文信不同的是，正文中一般不用Hello!(你好!)

正文有缩进式和齐头式两种。每段书信第一行的第一个字母稍微向右缩进些，通常以五个字母为宜，每段第二行从左面顶格写起，这就是缩进式。

但美国人写信各段落往往不用缩进式，用齐头式，即每一行都从左面顶格写起。商务信件大都采用齐头式的写法。

5、结束语(Complimentary Close)

在正文下面的一、二行处，从信纸的中间偏右处开始，第一个词开头要大写，句末用逗号。不同的对象，结束语的写法也不同。

(1)写给家人、亲戚，用Your loving grandfather，Lovingly yours，Lovingly等;

(2)写给熟人、朋友，用Yours cordially，Yours affectionately等;

(3)写业务信函用Truely yours(Yours truely)，Faithfully yours(Yours faithfully)等;

(4)对上级、长辈用Yours obediently(Obediently yours)，Yours respectfully(Respectfully yours)等。

6、签名(Signature)

低于结束语一至二行，从信纸中间偏右的地方开始，在结束语的正下方，在签完名字的下面还要有用打字机打出的名字，以便识别。职务、职称可打在名字的下面。当然，写给亲朋好友的信，就不必再打了。

7、附言(Postscript)

一封信写完了，突然又想起遗漏的事情，这时用P.S.表示，再写上遗漏的话即可，要长话短说。通常在信末签名下面几行的左方，应于正文齐头。

注意：在正式的信函中，应避免使用附言。

8、附件(Enclosure)

信件如果有附件，可在信纸的左下角，注上Encl：或Enc：，例如：Encl：2 photos(内附两张照片)。如果福建附件不止一项，应写成Encl：或Encs。

我们有时可看到在称呼与正文之间有Re：或Subject：(事由)字样。一般在信纸的中间，也可与“称呼”对齐。还应在底下加横线，以引起读信人的注意，使收信人便于在读信之前就可了解信中的主要内容。事由一般在公务信函中使用，也可以省略。

[有关激励自己的英文名言警句

Self- confidence plays an important role in our life. We can do nothing well without self-confidence. There are, I think, three steps to build up our self=confidence. First we should believe ourselves. This is the basic part of building self-confidence. Then we should start from the easy things. It will greatly encourage us if we do these things well. At last we should make progress step by step by dealing with problems which are much harder to be done well.

First step:Believe you yourself. Saying is much easier than doing. But we have no choice. We must believe ourselves. If we don’t think we can deal with something well, then we are determined to fail before we setting up to do it. We should tell us that even we can’t doit very well, but at least we can make some changes. The most important part is to remind ourselves that we can make some differences.

To encourage ourselves, wo must start from the easy things. Rome was not built in a day. For x example, I was not good at English grammar when in high school, I was upset when I made many mistakes in the exams. Then my English teacher told me to do from the easies part. And he gave me some very easy exercise to practice. I found it enjoyable when I was doing the exercise. Day after day, I was not afraid of doing English grammar exercise. And my self-confidence was built by starting from the easy part. So remember that we should choose the simple and ordinary things.

Third we should go father after finishing the simple and easy part. When we find that we can handle most problems easily, we should know it is a sign of moving forward. For example, if you can run 3 miles in an hour easily, then you should try to run 4 mile in an hour, and then 5 miles. Just keep moving . The better you do, the more confident you will be.Then one day you will find you have surpassed most people around you. And at this time you will find that your self-confidence is built up already.

写下这个题目，我觉得既平常又通俗。然而一想起老师平时对我点点滴滴的关爱，我又被这种无私的关爱感动着。在我们漫长的人生道路上，老师就像是一根拐杖，当我们遇到困难时老师会帮助我们;当我们遇到挫折时，又是老师来安慰、鼓励我们。

记得一个夏天的午后，老师来给我们上课，我们全班同学都无精打采，老师没批评我们，而是让我们做游戏，课堂氛围一下就活跃起来。老师坐在旁边一边批改作业，一边微笑着看我们玩。游戏结束时，老师亲切的问我们：“你们知道为什么让你们玩游戏吗?”我们都愣住了，都摇着脑袋回答：“不明白。”老师意味深长地说：“孩子们，我要让你们在快乐中学习，游戏中成长。你们现在还小，如果学习任务过重，就会讨厌学习，体会不到学习的快乐啊!”

记得还有一次，班上几个同学敷衍完成了老师布置的家庭作业，老师把他们叫到办公室，没有用严厉的语言斥责他们，而是亲切的告诉他们完成作业的重要性，让他们明确学习目的，以后再别这么做了，在老师的引导下几个同学惭愧的低下了头。

老师，您是蜡烛为我们点亮心灯;老师，您是人类灵魂的工程师，给了我们无微不至的的帮助和关心，给了我们光和热。在此我真诚的对您说一声：“谢谢您，我们的好老师!”

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

凡是有钱的单身汉，总想娶位太太，这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。这样的单身汉，每逢新搬到一个地方，四邻八舍虽然完全不了解他的性情如何，见解如何，可是，既然这样的一条真理早已在人们心目中根深蒂固，因此人们总是把他看作自己某一个女儿理所应得的一笔财产。

"My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"

有一天班纳特太太对她的丈夫说：“我的好老爷，尼日斐花园终于租出去了，你听说过没有?”

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

班纳特先生回答道，他没有听说过。

"But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it."

“的确租出去了，”她说，“朗格太太刚刚上这儿来过，她把这件事的底细，一五一十地告诉了我。”

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

班纳特先生没有理睬她。

"Do not you want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently.

“你难道不想知道是谁租去的吗?”太太不耐烦地嚷起来了。

"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it."

“既是你要说给我听，我听听也无妨。”

This was invitation enough.

这句话足够鼓励她讲下去了。

"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week."

“哦!亲爱的，你得知道，郎格太太说，租尼日斐花园的是个阔少爷，他是英格兰北部的人;听说他星期一那天，乘着一辆驷马大轿车来看房子，看得非常中意，当场就和莫理斯先生谈妥了;他要在‘米迦勒节’以前搬进来，打算下个周未先叫几个佣人来住。”

"What is his name?"

“这个人叫什么名字?”

"Bingley."

“彬格莱。”

"Is he married or single?"

“有太太的呢，还是单身汉?”

"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!"

“噢!是个单身汉，亲爱的，确确实实是个单身汉!一个有钱的单身汉;每年有四五千磅的收入。真是女儿们的福气!”

"How so? how can it affect them?"

“这怎么说?关女儿女儿们什么事?”

"My dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them."

“我的好老爷，”太太回答道，“你怎么这样叫人讨厌!告诉你吧，我正在盘算，他要是挑中我们一个女儿做老婆，可多好!”

"Is that his design in settling here?"

“他住到这儿来，就是为了这个打算吗?”

"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes."

“打算!胡扯，这是哪儿的话!不过，他倒作兴看中我们的某一个女儿呢。他一搬来，你就得去拜访拜访他。”

"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party."

“我不用去。你带着女儿们去就得啦，要不你干脆打发她们自己去，那或许倒更好些，因为你跟女儿们比起来，她们哪一个都不能胜过你的美貌,你去了，彬格莱先生倒可能挑中你呢?”

"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be any thing extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty."

“我的好老爷，你太捧我啦。从前也的确有人赞赏过我的美貌，现在我可有敢说有什么出众的地方了。一个女人家有了五个成年的女儿，就不该对自己的美貌再转什么念头。”
