第一篇：索要文献的英文信件
如何索取英文文献全文:根据作者E-mail地址，向作者索要。这是最有效的方法之一。为了更方便大家向作者索取原文，但一定要简洁！一般都愿意向你提供。
Dear Dr.(author name)
I would appreciate receiving a reprint of your article: ********(不必全写),杂志名.However, this Journal is not available in our library.Thank you very much for your consideration.Respectfully yours,Yourself name
感谢信
Dear______,I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for your letter on July 21.Thank you very much for your help.I have received the requested article.Your kind help is very much appreciated.Thank you again for your consideration.Yours sincerely
Li Ming1、去电邮向作者索要全文确实是很有效的途径，现提供一个更为简单的信件模板：
主题：Article request
Dear Dr.（注：国外作者无论其是教授还是其他什么职务，如果有博士学位，他更原意别人称他为博士），I am interested in your paper entiltled “------”(Journal name, Vol, Page).I would be very grateful if you could send me a copy in PDF or word document on my e-mail box.Thank you!
Regards,Name,Address
注意：收到全文后一定要回复作者收到全文，并表示感谢。
2、由于一些作者往往将自己重要的文献全文放在网上，运用google的高级检索功能，往往会有意想不到的收获。具体方法为在google高级搜索中输入文章题目，并在文件格式中选择PDF，即可进行搜索。
Dear Dr.____,I would appreciate if you could kindly send me a PDF copy of your paper “____” published in ____.With my best regards.Name:____
E-mail:____
Dear Dr.____,I should greatly appreciate a reprint of your article entieled “____” which appeared in ____.And any other reprints on this subject if available.Your sincerely.Name:____ Address:____

2、如果作者有自己的主页，可以去作者的主页看看。
3、最保险的办法是按部就班，根据文章出处，去图书馆查找原文。但各图书馆馆藏有限，有时找起来很麻烦。
4、去Science网上杂志找文章。Science与中国达成协议，中国读者可以免费获得原文。方法如下：
（1）先登录Science网址:http://intl.sciencemag.org
（2）点击中间那个大大的SEARCH，就进入查询页了。
（3）输入您要找的关键词（不一定是MESH标准主题词），再点击search就可以了。
（4）找出文章后，点击标题后的Full Text，就可以浏览原文了。

pubmed应用小技巧
pubmed是我们最常用到的检索数据库，功能非常强大，但在实际应用过程中往往有一些非常实用的功能不被重视，下面就我的使用经验谈谈体会，请高手指正并补遗。
1、History功能：作为PUBMED的“四大金刚”之一，至少有50％的人忽略了它的好处。当你检索的主题词有很多的别名、定义或缩写时，或者你要检索多个领域交叉的文章时，如果单单在检索框里输入检索词和逻辑运算符，将显得非常累赘、容易出错并且不易查全、查准。这时你可以试试HISTORY功能：每次检索时只要输入最简单的检索式，然后进入HISTORY，这时你就发现刚才你所有的检索结果都在里面，而且还编上了号，接下来不用说了，你就可以随心所欲地排列组合你的检索词了，如：＃1 AND＃2，＃2 OR＃3 NOT＃4，等等，就象在Medline中检索一样方便。（注意:在HISTORY中输入检索式后按回车的效果与按PREVIEW按钮是一样的，即仅显示检索结果有多少篇，但按GO按钮之后就会跳出HISTORY进入题名或文摘界面,再进HISTORY时就需切换一下,有点麻烦）
2、CUBBY功能：使用CUBBY功能（在PUBMED界面的左边有CUBBY的链接）可以保存你的检索式。如果需要跟踪某一领域的最新进展，可以将检索式保存在CUBBY中，定期调用查看一下就能紧跟潮流了 ：－）。CUBBY功能需要注册，不过是完全免费的(大家抢啊,呵呵)。
3、高效利用PUBMED：在实验过程中常常会为引物设计、退火温度、蛋白质大小等等的实际问题所困扰，回顾文献往往效率很低，查不到很具体的东东，这时可以祭出PUBMED，把你所要找的东西直接敲进去，如Primer, RT-PCR, Western Blot,等等,总而言之就是把PUBMED当作GOOGLE来用好了,由于PUBMED收录的文章关键词给得很全,很多,所以十步之内必有芳草,可能连你预期的实验结果图例都有了,呵呵。当然我给例子很片面，大家可以举一反三，大胆尝试一下，肯定会有收获的。
4、Journal DataBase：PUBMED不光提供了许多全文链接，而且其JournalDatabase功能也很有用。当你看到一篇参考文献而不知道期刊全名时，用JournalDatabase搜一下就可以了，然后把全名往GOOGLE里一贴，就可以找到这本期刊的网站了。JournalDatabase另一个重要功能是提供网上全文期刊目录，对于哪本杂志被哪些数据库收录、收录了哪几年的都有详细的说明。由于数据库之间存在交叉收录现象，所以知道这些信息是非常有用的。
比如，要找circulation的一篇文章，但手头没有MM，查看期刊目录，发现circulation被ovid收录了，而学校恰好订了ovid，于是搞定。再比如，PUBMED中PACE的全文链接指向Ingenta数据库，众所周知Ingenta是比较难***的，其DL和MM都少，但是仔细一查，发现PACE在Blackwell数据库也有收录，而Blackwell在学校也有订阅，而且在网上MM流传甚广，当然很容易就搞定了。还有一些比较偏的杂志，在网上没有自已的站点，但有可能被一些常见的数据库如Proquest、Ebsco等收录，知道这些情报之后就可以有的放矢了。建议在文献求助区发贴求助的站友在求助前能先进database中查一下，看看到底哪些数据库收录了你想要的文章，一并列在求助贴中，这样即方便了别人，也方便了自已。
第二篇：英文信件格式
英文书信的格式
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。
2、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。
3、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。
4、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。
5、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。
6、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Truly yours（Yours truly），Faithfully yours（Yours faithfully）等；
（4）对上级、长辈用Yours obediently（Obediently yours），Yours respectfully（Respectfully yours）等。
7、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。
8、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。
9、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。
(一)英文书信的组成部分
英文书信一般由六部分组成。即：信头（Heading）、信内地址（Inside Address），称呼（Salutation），正文（Body of Letter）、结束语（Complimentary Close）、署名（Signature），有时在书信后面还有附言（Postscript）、附件（Enclosure），这得视具体情况而定。下面将分别说明。1.信头（Heading）
信头是指写信人的地址和写信日期，一般写在或打在第一面信纸的右上角，先写地址再写日期，地址的写法是从小到大，先写门牌号、路号，再写区名、市名、省名，最后写国名。时间的写法对英国人和美国人而言是不同的。英国人习惯按日、月、年的顺序写，而美国人习惯按月、日、年的顺序写。例如： 英式：1st October，1999 美式：October 1，1999 在使用前一种形式时，月和年之间的逗号可用可不用，但是在后一种形式中，必需要使用逗号。信头的写法有缩进式和齐头式。缩进式每行开头向右缩进一两个字母；齐头式左边对齐排列，如下所示： 缩进式 Wang Ming Dept.of Chemical Engineering Dalian University of Technology Dalian 116023 Liaoning Province P.R.China 齐头式 Wang Ming Dept.of Chemical Engineering Dalian University of Technology Dalian 116023 Liaoning Province P.R.China 2.信内地址（Inside Address）
信内地址要写出收信人的姓名和地址。一般给比较生疏的亲友的信和公事信件要写出信内地址，而熟悉朋友可以省去这一步骤。信内地址写出在日期下一两行的左上角，第一行写收信人的称呼姓名，然后写出地址。地质也是从小到大写出，分缩进式和齐头式两种。例如： 缩进式 The President Oxford University England 齐头式 Jiang Bin 64Heping Road P.R.China 3.称呼（Salutation）
称呼是对收信人的称谓。在信内地址下一两行处顶格写起，自成一行。末尾用逗号或冒号。
（1）当给一位熟悉的人写信时可以用Dear 或是My Dear。在英国，My Dear 比Dear亲切，而在美国，Dear比My Dear 亲切。（2）当给一位你不知婚否的女性写信时，可以用Ms.……，这是指“……女士”。
（3）在给不熟悉的人写信时，可以用Dear sir, Dear Madam, Dear sirs, Gentleman 等等。4正文（Body of Letter）
正文是一封信的主体部分。通常在称呼的下一行写出。正文也可采用齐头式或缩进式的方法。齐头式是反映每段开头一行和后面行并齐。缩进式是指每段的第一行向右缩进几个字母。信笺讲究简洁、效率。开头几句简单地寒暄后就不如正题，在结尾处要有祝愿和敬语。常用的开头语有：
I have received your letter of July Ist.7月1 日来信已经收悉。I have the pleasure to tell you that …….很高兴告诉你……。
I am very much delighted to receive your letter.非常高兴收到你的来信。It is my honor to inform you that ……很荣幸告诉你……。常用的结束套话有：
I am looking forward to hearing from you 盼早日回信。
Wish best regards.祝好。
Thank you for your help 感谢你的帮助！
Wish my best wishes for your success.祝你成功。Wishing you a happy holiday.祝假日愉快！
Hoping to hear from you soon.希望能尽快收到你的回信。５结束语（Complimentary Close）
结束语在正文之后隔一两行的偏右方开始写出。开头字母用大写，以后的字母用小写，最后一个词后面用逗句。常用的结束语有： 一般非正式的关系： Yours sincerely, Yours truly, Yours faithfully, Most sincerely, Faithfully yours, 亲密的关系： Love, Yours love, Yours Affectionately, With love, Lovingly yours, Yours ever, 上级和长者： Yours respectfully, Faithfully yours, ６署名（Signature）
在结束语的下方是签名，先手写出，再打出来。如果收信人不认识写出信人，可以在署名前用括号标出Mr.、Miss或Ms。在名称下面可注上头衔。如： Yours sincerely, Lucy Blake(手写)Lucy Blake(Miss)(打印)Sales Manager ７附言（Postscript）,附件（Enclosure）
在信件正文写作时可能漏掉了某些事，或临时发生了某事需要补充时，可以在信下面左下方写出上P.S.如果随信有附件可在爱左下端注明。如： Enclosure:1.Invoice(发票)

第五篇：英文信件格式
英语信函写作大全超值篇
书信是日常生活中常用的文体，是用以交涉事宜、传达信息、交流思想、联络感情、增进了解的重要工具。书信一般可分为商务信件或公函（Business Letter or Official Correspondence）和私人信件（Private Letter）两大类。
值得注意的是，英语书信的写法与汉语书信有一些明显区别，应特别加以区分。英语书信通常包括下面几个组成部分：信端、信内地址、称呼、正文、结束语、签名、附件、再启等。下面我们将逐个进行介绍。
1、信端（Heading）
信端即信头，一般包括写信人的地址和写信日期。一些正式信函的信端还包括发信人或单位的电话号码、电报挂号、电传、传真和邮政编码等。西方国家中有些信端甚至还有单位负责人的姓名、职务和职称等。信端的目的是使收信人一看便知道书信来自何处，何时发出，便于复信和查阅。用一般的信纸写信时，信端应写在信纸的右上角，若字数较多，可仍信纸中间或偏右的地方写起。若字数较少，可适当多向右移一些，使整个信端的重心落在右上角。
信端的写法主要有并列式和斜列式两种。仍目前情况来看，前者更为常用。采用并列式时，每行开头要左对齐；采用斜列式时，每行开头逐次向右移二三个字母的距离。例如：
（1）并列式
Fuxing Street
Haidian District
Beijing
Post Code: 100035 People’s Republic of China
Tel: 63211234
Aug.20, 2004
（2）斜列式（Indented Form）
Fuxing Street
Haidian District
Beijing
Post Code: 100035
People’s Republic of China
Tel: 63211234
Aug.20, 2004
写信端时，先写发信人的地址，地点的名称按由小到大的顺序排列，然后是其它项目和发信日期。具体次序是：第一行写门牌号和街名；第二行写区名、市（县）名、省（州、邦）名，往国外寄的信，还要写上国家的名称；国家名称的前面加上邮政编码，其后可写上电话号码，最后一行写发信日期。如果写信人的地址是机关单位的名称，则将其作为第一行。如果写信人的单位没有门牌号码和街名，则第一行可写上所在班级或专业组的名称；第二行写系、科、室名称；第三行写学校名称；第四行写市（县）、省（州）名称；然后再写邮政编码、国名、电话号码、发信日期等项。
如果使用标点符号，则在每行末尾加逗号，最后一行的末尾加句号。但当前的信件中行末大都不加标点符号，但在每行之内该用标点符号的地方，仌要用标点。
特别要注意的是，门牌号码和街名之间要加逗号。月份和日期之间不可用逗号。在西方国家，城市名称之后往往写有字母或数字（如 New York, 103），表示城市的邮政编码。
关于发信日期的写法，应注意以下几点：
年份应完全写出，不能简写。
月份要用英文名称，不要用数字代替。
月份名称多用公认的缩写式。但 May, June, July, 因为较短，不可缩写。
写日期时，可用基数词1，2，3，4，5，……28，29，30，31等，也可用序数词 lst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, ……28th, 29th, 30th, 31lst等。但最好用基数词，简单明了。
日期可有下列几种写法：
Oct.20, 2004
10 May., 2004
3rd June, 2004
Sept.16th, 2004
其中，最为通用。
2.信内地址（Inside Address, Introductory Address）
信内地址收信人的姓名和地址，写在信纸的左上角，仍信纸的左边顶格开始写，低于写信人地址和发信日期一二行，也分并列式和斜列式两种，但应与信端的书写格式保持一致。其次序是，先写收信人姓名、头衔和单位名称，占一二行，然后写地址，可占二至四行，例如：
并列式
Ms.Joanna Kerry
Peking University
Haidian District, 100871
Beijing
China
斜列式
Ms.Joanna Kerry
Peking University
Haidian District,100871
Beijing
China
3.称呼（Salutation）
对收信人的称呼应自成一行，写在低于信内地址一二行的地方，仍信纸的左边顶格开始写，每个词的开头字母要大写，至于末尾处的符号，英国人用逗号，但美国和加拿大英语则多用冒号。称呼用语可视写信人与收信人的关系而定。给外国人写英文信时，称呼用语要注意以下几点：
对没有头衔的男性一般称呼 Mr.。
