MANY office e-mails contain abbreviations (缩写). Do you know what they mean? Check out the following explainer:
1. CC 抄送
Literal meaning: Carbon Copy. When used in an e-mail, it means to send a copy of the e-mail to someone else.
Hidden meaning: If you are on the CC list, you may simply read the e-mail. You're not always obligated to reply. But if an e-mail sent to you has your boss' e-mail on the CC list, watch out. When the boss is involved, you'd better take the e-mail more seriously.
2. FYI 供你参考
Literal meaning: For your information.
Hidden meaning: By adding \"FYIhe sender indicates that the e-mail contains information that may be valuable to your company or job responsibilities.
3. ASAP / urgent 紧急文件
Literal meaning: As soon as possible.
Hidden meaning: When you see \"ASAP\" or \"urgent\" in an e-mail or
document, you should quickly carry out the e-mail's orders.
4. RESEND! 重传
Literal meaning: Please resend your reply to me.
Hidden meaning: \"I haven't received your reply. I don't have much time. Please hurry.\" You might get such a message from someone who sent you an e-mail, to which you've yet to reply.
