  • 如果你给人做事:

    • Will do. 好的,我会去做。
    • On it now! 我现在就开始做!
    • Will send over a draft by the end of the day. 下班前会给您初稿。
    • I'm having trouble accessing XYZ's site. Might have to get back to you tomorrow. Is that okay? 我现在上不了 XYZ 网站,您布置的任务估计得明天才能做完,可以吗?
    • (更客气一点)I have a lab report and a problem set due on the same day. Could I have an extension till Wednesday? 我同一天还要交一个实验报告和一个问题集。我能周三再交您布置的作业吗?
    • (如果你同时被布置了两件事)I'm working on a memo ABC needs for his mtg this pm. Should I talk to ABC? 我现在在做 ABC 今天下午开会需要的备忘录。我应该跟 ABC 讲一下吗?
    • I'm not feeling well today and will take the afternoon off. Please do let me know if you need me tomorrow. 我今天身体不舒服,下午请假。如果明天这个项目还需要我的话请一定告知。..

  • 如果你负责项目:

    • Received with thanks. 收到,谢谢。
    • How's your XYZ (research paper, draft analysis, lab report) going? 你的论文/分析初稿/实验报告写得怎么样了?(这是催进度)
    • Wanted to clarify something with you. Could you call after 3? 邮件里有些事情我没太明白。你可以三点后打电话来吗?
    • The second half needs a bit more work. Check this report we published last quarter, and send me what you have this pm. 你发给我的初稿,后半段还得改改。我给你发一份上季度我们写的报告,你按照这个写。下午不管写到哪儿了都发给我看看。
    • Shoot me an email when you are free. 你手上活做完了给我发封邮件。
    • I'm on the road this week. Will get back to you next Monday. 我这周出差。下周一给你答复。
    • Cc'ing our colleague in HK who will help you on this matter. 我不是负责这事的,我现在在邮件里 cc 我们香港的同事,他会帮你。

上面的句子很多没有主语,乍一看也不礼貌,更没有“亲爱的某某”,“祝好”这类客气话。但公司、学校的内部沟通,很多时候要的就是这种简洁的进度更新。永远不要因为怕打扰或者怕邮件里说不清就不发邮件,永远不要假定你的老板、老师、同事、下属知道你在干什么,遇到问题要积极沟通而不是埋头干活,比没能按时完成任务更糟糕的是没有提前知会老板。

当然,各个地方邮件文化不同,到新环境里可以先按照礼貌格式发邮件,后根据情况调整。不过邮件的定义还是不变的,它更像短信而非平邮,目的是告知进度、反馈问题。我们不需要组织好完整、大段的文字再发。
