Common honorifics and honorifics are

With the increase of communication with foreign countries, the appellations and honorifics in English letters have also increased dramatically. How to use address forms and honorifics close correctly in English letters is a problem that cannot be ignored. 1. There are many forms of addressing in English letters: 1. When you don't know the name of the recipient, there are several ways to address it: Dear Sir (for men who don't know their names) Dear Lady (for women who don't know their names) Dear Sir/Lady (including both men and women) If it is a letter sent to the company, you can also use "Dear Gentlemen". But be careful not to write "DearMadame", which means "madam" in French. Often used with surnames, don't use "dear sir" or "dear friend". 2. Knowing the recipient's name, there are several ways to address it: Dear Mr. Smith (for men) Dear Mrs. Brown (for married women) Dear Miss Jones (for single women) Dear Ms. Todd (women don't disclose their marital status). Tus of a woman) Let's take "Winston Smith" as an example to see several appellations and their meanings. (1) "Dear Mr. Smith": Used in the case of previous contact. (2) "Dear Smith": only used as a title for subordinates familiar to male bosses. ③“Dearwwinston: used when they are closely related. If you know Mr. Smith well, you can call him by his first name when you meet him, so you can call him by his first name when you write a letter, otherwise it won't work. When writing letters to women, the use of address forms is more complicated than that of men. If you write to Ms. Jane Brown, there may be "Dear Miss Brown", "Dear Mrs. Brown" and "Dear Ms. Brown". Knowing each other is one thing, but it is more important to remember the principle of "addressing each other the way they like". If the signature of the letter is "JaneBrown", the salutation should be written as "Dearms Brown" when replying; If the signature is "Mrs. Jane Brown", the address should be "Dear Mrs. Brown". This is because some people are more orthodox. They don't want others to confuse the concepts of "madam" and "miss", so they add (madam) or (miss) after the signature to remind each other. In the letters from relatives and friends, you can often see "my dear", "my dear" and "my dear". When an elder writes to a younger generation, even if he is of the same sex, he often uses the title of "dear". Second, the honorific close, also known as the conclusion, is a polite expression, similar to the "brocade" in Chinese letters, but the honorific words in English letters often echo the address forms in letters. If the address is "Dear Sir" or "Dear Lady", the honorific should be "Yours faithfully"; "; If the address is "Dear Mr. Smith" or "Dear Mrs. Brown", the honorific should be "Yours sincerely". Your sincerity, sincerity (yours) and very sincerity are common in American English. "Yours" and "Yours" are not used much now. Generally speaking, "Best wishes" are often used as honorifics in private letters, "Yours ever" is often used among friends, and "Love" is often used as honorifics among lovers and relatives. Nowadays, "love" is often used as a honorific in letters between female friends. "All my love" or "Your brotherly love" is no longer used.
