在英文學習的過程中,大家對于寫作有哪些考量呢?英文簡歷是必不可少的職場敲門磚,一封用詞精準、語法得當、格式明朗的英語簡歷常常可以讓你的就職之路“贏在起跑線上”。以下十條是基本的規則,若能做到,你的英文簡歷已經比很多人規范美觀了。
1
標點符號一律使用半角。
2
逗號、句號、分號、冒號、感嘆號、問號和它們后面的字符之間必須留一個半角空格。
錯誤:Hi,I‘m an entrepreneur.Can you make this app for me for free?Because,you know,I have this brilliant idea but I don’t know how to code.
正確:Hi, I‘m an entrepreneur. Can you make this app for me for free? Because, you know, I have this brilliant idea but I don’t know how to code.
3
逗號、句號、分號、冒號、感嘆號、問號和它們前面的字符之間不可留任何空格。
錯誤:I think our current version is too skeuomorphic ,why don‘t we ,uh ,make it flatter so that it looks more metro-ish?
正確:I think our current version is too skeuomorphic, why don’t we, uh, make it flatter so that it looks more metro-ish?
4
將長串數字分開寫,降低辨識的難度。
錯誤:13927396856
正確:139 2739 6856 或 139-2739-6856
5
書名、雜志名、電影名、音樂專輯名、英文中出現的外文(包括拼音,人名除外)用斜體。
錯誤:In 2008, I created this amazing service during my internship at Playboy which is totally LBS avant la lettre.
正確:In 2008, I created this amazing service during my internship at Playboy which is totally LBS avant la lettre.
6
對于電話區號應用不同的符號區分。
錯誤:+86-135-2016-2862
正確:(86) 135 2016 2862 或 (86) 135-2016-2862
7
對于有序列表,應采用「阿拉伯數字 + 英文句點 + 半角空格」的方式。
錯誤:
Three words I hate:
1.Innovation.
2, Leverage.
3 Synergy.
正確:
Three words I hate:
1. Innovation.
2. Leverage.
3. Synergy.
8
括號弧線外要留空格,弧線內不要。
錯誤:Byte Press(née Tangcha ) is the best Chinese-language eBook app. Period.
正確:Byte Press (née Tangcha) is the best Chinese-language eBook app. Period.
但同一個單詞內的括號例外:
錯誤:After the linguistic turn, people are getting addicted to pretentious bracketed words such as ‘(ex) plain (ed)’.
正確:After the linguistic turn, people are getting addicted to pretentious bracketed words such as ‘(ex)plain(ed)’.
9
用彎引號,不要用直引號。
錯誤:“Bazinga!” ‘You are pwned!’
正確:“Bazinga!” ‘You are pwned!’
10
正確使用各種短橫:em dash (—) 是破折號,en dash (–) 用來連接年份、時間,是「到」的意思,hyphen (-) 是連字符。
錯誤:Glenn Gould (1932-1982) is probably my one and only hero - the person who taught me to think differently well before Steve Jobs.
正確:Glenn Gould (1932–1982) is probably my one and only hero — the person who taught me to think differently well before Steve Jobs.
注意:
1.若寫作時用兩個 hyphen (--) 代替破折號,Word 等文書處理軟件會自動將其轉為 em dash。有監于 em dash 輸入不便(Mac 上是 shift + option + -),這也是英文寫作通用的替代法。
2. 破折號(em dash)兩端可各留一半角空格,亦可不留。此乃英美習慣之不同,無對錯之分。惟請在同一份簡歷中保持統一。
目前網上的英文簡歷模板已經是唾手可得,那么邁向求職之門的“最后一公里”,可能恰恰是此前在你看來最不起眼的文字設計(typography),即「注意排版」。所以大家要好好注意哦!如果還想了解其他英文學習的內容,可以來網校一起學習。
