具体来讲，英汉有不同的表达礼貌的套语，应当熟悉并掌握。
1.称呼的翻译
按照英文的习惯，书信的称呼前面都会加上Dear表示尊敬，如：
Dear Madam/Gentlemen/Dear Sirs
Dear Mr./Ms.White
My dear Mr./Ms.White
在译为中文时，不能直译为“亲爱的”，这与我们的习惯相违背，而应直接套用汉语的书信习惯，译为：
××先生/女士：
您好!
敬启者
执事先生；台鉴
2.结尾敬语
英语书信落款之前都会加上Your truly/sincerely/faithfully表示尊敬，同样也不能直译为“您的忠诚的”。中文书信的结尾敬语为：
谨启、谨上、敬上
顺致敬意
此致
敬礼!此致
××上/谨上
谨复
3.其他礼貌用语
汉语有着系统的敬语和谦辞，在较为正式的商务信函中经常使用的有：
贵、尊、您—弊、贱、鄙、愚
垂询—请教
请、惠、敬、奉、兹、谨
不胜感激、承蒙、特此
而英语没有固定的敬语和谦辞，常用来表示尊敬或谦虚的礼貌用语，一是情态动词，包括can，may，could，might，would，二 是 表 示 情 绪 的 副 词，如faithfully，kindly，respectfully，sincerely，unfortunately。
我们下面通过一组句子来对比英汉的礼貌用语。
A.汉语最常用的礼貌用语“请”在英语中有多种表达，不一定翻译为please，应灵活运用情态动词和副词等进行翻译。
①请告知我方交货日期与付款要求。
Please let us know your delivery date and conditions of payment.

Will you please send us a copy of your catalogue that we would pass to prospects?

⑤请寄贵公司产品图解目录一份。

⑧这是我们的包装设计，请转给厂方，供他们参考。

○12敬请注意，我方客户急需合同货物。

B.在英译汉的时候要用汉语的固定套语进行翻译。对于英语中没有使用敬语或谦辞的
地方，译为汉语时应当进行增补。
