在遵循简洁原则的时候，也不要一味追求简单，也应该注意要点完整，意思清晰没有歧义哦~

 

原则五Completeness 完整

完整包括所有有关“who、what、where、when、why以及how”的信息。

比如写一封order的时候，我们应该考虑货物是什么，什么时候需要，货物由谁运输然后谁接收，最后以什么样的付款方式。

   

原则六Courtesy 礼貌

礼貌不仅要求我们用礼貌用语，避免冲撞对方，而且也需要我们充分考虑收件人的心情以及对方的考虑，后部分和consideration的要旨是一致的。

How to be courteous?

 及时回信
 避免使用冒犯的语言（例如带有歧视的语言）
 脾气温和
 多为对方考虑
 体现对方能获得的益处
 强调积极怡人的信息
 诚实完整

 

原则七Consideration 体贴

这一点和商务写作中的You Attitude的要求是一致的，都需要一颗真诚的心。You Attitude可以见：传送~
