（五）調(diào)查結(jié)果（Findings）
    報告的調(diào)查結(jié)果部分是報告建議的依據(jù)，其內(nèi)容應(yīng)當(dāng)準(zhǔn)確無誤，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，語言流暢、銜接。這部分內(nèi)容的每一個段落都應(yīng)當(dāng)有一個明確的主題句，一般放在段首，這樣便于讀者攝取這部分的信息。以下是這部分主題句寫作的常見句型：
    · The findings of the investigation indicate that…
    · It was proposed/found/ felt/discovered that…
    · It was generally the case that…
    · Most people thought/suggested that…
    · A number of people mentioned that…
    · Several changes were put forward.
    · Several staff members expressed the view that…
    若報告中需提供圖表統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)或描述行情走勢，撰寫人應(yīng)當(dāng)熟悉這方面寫作的常用句型，以下就是該方面寫作的一些典型句子結(jié)構(gòu)：
    · The table/chart/graph/diagram/figure/statistics
    shows/describes/illustrates that…
    · As it can be seen from the table/chart/figure…
    · It is clear/apparent from the
    table/chart/graph/diagram/figure/statistics that…
    · The number of…increased/jumped/rose
    suddenly/rapidly/dramatically from…to…
    · The number of…decreased/dropped/fell greatly/significantly
    sharply from…to…
    · The number of…fluctuated slowly/slightly between…to…
    · The number of…remained steady/stable (stayed the same)
    between…to…
    · There was a (very) sudden/rapid/dramatic/significant
    increase/jump/rise in the number
    of…from…to…
    · There was a (very) sharp/steep/steady/gradual/slow/slight
    decrease/drop/fall in the
    number of…from…to…
    · The monthly profit/figures peaked in December at 10%.
    · The monthly profit/figures reached a peak/a high (point) in
    December at 10%.
    · The monthly profit/figures bottomed out in December at 10%.
    · Sales witnessed a great rise/increase/drop/fall between…to…
    （六）結(jié)論（Conclusions）
    報告的結(jié)論部分是寫報告的人在報告調(diào)查結(jié)果的基礎(chǔ)上是對調(diào)查結(jié)果進行總結(jié)和解釋。同一調(diào)查結(jié)果會因為撰寫者的不同而得出不同的結(jié)論，但這部分不應(yīng)當(dāng)包括報告前文中沒有提到的新的信息。
    （七）建議（Recommendations）
    建議往往是許多商務(wù)報告寫作的最重要部分。一份報告有效程度常常取決于報告中所提供的建議的質(zhì)量高低。建議部分主要內(nèi)容為報告撰寫人在經(jīng)過充分的論證后認(rèn)為應(yīng)當(dāng)采取的措施或行動。報告人有時也會描述采取措施后可能出現(xiàn)的后果或情形。
    （八）附錄（Appendices）
    正式的商務(wù)報告為了增強報告的說服力或真實性往往會有一些附加材料，因其篇幅較長不宜放在報告當(dāng)中，只能選擇放在附錄中。這部分內(nèi)容可能包括圖表統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)、實驗室報告、問卷調(diào)查等。當(dāng)然，簡短報告若無此需要則不需增加附錄部分。
    五、如何提高商務(wù)英語報告的可讀性
    許多人在寫完報告之后往往會遺忘或忽視報告寫作的最后一個過程：對報告進行編輯排版，使之結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，內(nèi)容便于讀者閱讀。報告中所增加的一些信息或符號如同公路上路標(biāo)指引這司機開車一樣為讀者降低閱讀難度，加快閱讀速度，這一點對爭分奪秒的商業(yè)人士來說尤為重要。以下是一些提供報告可讀性的常見手段：
    · 為報告提供小標(biāo)題；
    · 使用小段落，盡量做到每個小話題都用一個段落來闡述；
    · 段落與段落之間空一行；
    · 提供段落的小標(biāo)題；
    · 使用列舉符號羅列具體信息；
    · 使用星號或下劃線強調(diào)重點內(nèi)容。
    下面為一份非正式報告的兩種形式，毋庸置疑，右邊經(jīng)過編輯后的版本結(jié)構(gòu)清晰、層次分明，內(nèi)容清楚、一目了然，其格式不論是對寫正式報告還是非正式報告都值得借鑒。
    Proposed Incentive Scheme
    Mr. John Smith, Office Manager, has asked me to write this report on
    a proposed incentive scheme offering rewards, possibly financial, to
    members of staff for money-saving ideas or ways to improve work
    practices.
    A sample of workers was individually asked for their opinions. The
    following is the findings: most thought the incentive scheme was a
    good idea; most preferred financial rewards; some suggested time off
    instead; A few thought this was a management area. In general most
    workers were in favor of an incentive scheme offering financial
    rewards. It is recommended that the scheme be introduced.

    總之，在商務(wù)英語各類報告的寫作過程中若能抓住以上幾點來寫，不愁無從下筆。當(dāng)然，這還要學(xué)習(xí)者平時英語知識和商務(wù)知識的積累，才能達(dá)到更好的效果。
