Section Three Notes (便条) 便条实际上就是简单的书信，其内容要简练扼要，文字要求简明紧凑，准确无误。便条上往往只需用几句(甚至一两句)话，称呼、格式等也可以大大简化，尤其写个人便条时可以不用全名。 一、个人便条 由于便条多半是临时写的，所谈的往往是一两天以内的事，因此日期往往可不写，只写星期几，或星期几上午、下午、晚上，有时只写上钟点。 便条多用于熟悉的朋友或经常见面或同一机构／单位的同事之间，所以写条人的地址、结束语等都可以省略或简化。在熟悉的同事或朋友之间，可只用彼此熟悉的称呼，例如只写上Zhang或Xiao Fan等即可。 * Friday afternoon John, Just a line to inform you that I am leaving for Shanghai to attend a meeting tomorrow instead of on Sunday as I told you the other day. Ill write to you soon. Yours, Frank * Thursday morning Dear Mr. Craig, Herewith is the composition due on Tuesday. As I have been absent from classes during the past two days on sick leave, I hope you will excuse me for handing it in a few days late, and that the delay will not cause you too much inconvenience. Respectfully, Chen Wei * 二、工作便条 便条不仅限于个人与个人之间，有时也可用便条的方式联系工作。工作上所用的便条又叫做备忘录(Memorandum/Memo)——一种用于政府、机构、单位或部门之间的文书形式，其作用通常是就某个问题表明观点，或把某些有关事项通知对方。不论是公事或个人之间的便条，文字都应简练明确。工作便条的文体一般是半正式，即比个人便条正式些，但不必像业务信件那样正式。例如，便条末尾的署名可签上本人惯用的签名即可，也就是说，可以不把自己的姓名用印刷体写出或打印机打出。 * MEMO Oct. 25 To: Dr. P.
