通知 (Notice)

通知是上级对下级、组织对成员或平行单位之间部署工作、传达事情或召开会议等所使用的应用文。通知分为口头通知和书面通知两种。

1. 口头通知

口头通知是面对面地把事情传达给对方,一般不用写落款和日期。发布口头通知时应注意以下几个问题: 由于口头通知是通过口头表达的,因此在正文之前往往有称呼语。如boys and girls, comrades (同志们), ladies and gentlemen 等。开场白一般这样说: Attention, please!/May I have your attention, please?/Be quiet, please!/Listen, please!/I have something important to tell you.

结尾要给听众结束通知的信号: That’s all./Thank you so much for it./Thank you.

口头通知的内容应讲清楚时间、地点、活动内容及注意事项。

Sample:

Boys and girls, we’ll go to work on the farm tomorrow. Please meet at 8:00 o’clock outside the school gate. Don’t forget to put on your old clothes. That’s all. Thank you so much for it.

2. 书面通知

书面通知是以布告、张贴的形式出现,常常是张贴在显眼的位置以引起公众的注意。为了醒目,标题的每个字母常大写。

书面通知的格式:(https://www.daowen.com)

(1) 标题:在正文上面正中的地方写上 NOTICE。

(2) 正文: 通知的正文要写明所做事情的具体时间、地点、概括性内容、出席对象及有关注意事项。注意用词贴切、语句简洁。书面通知语言比较规范,切忌使用模糊语言、俚语或俗语。通知中一般无称呼语,常用第三人称,且被动语态使用较多。

(3) 单位:发通知的单位一般写在正文的右下角。有时也放于标题之上起强调作用。

(4) 时间:一般写在左下角。

Sample:
