便笺(便条)和短信--分类举例--道歉
  (Apology)

  人非圣贤,孰能无过。在社会交往中,人们常常会出现一些疏忽、过失等。如果发生此类事情,就会给对方带来麻烦和不便。为了避免误解,不影响感情,在这种情况下,应写信给对方予以解释,以请求谅解。

  此类信要写得及时,态度要诚恳,用词需谦逊。一般在信一开始就向对方表示歉意或内疚,然后说明原因并提出补救的办法。

 例1
  Directions: You have missed a date of your friend, now you have to write a letter for appologization in about 100 words.
  May
20th
  Dear Lily,
  I am sorry I missed seeing you yesterday. I know that you must have been disappointed. I also feel worried and anxious in my heart. The fact is that my manager at the last moment asked me to prepare a urgent plan while I could not get to a phone to call you and yesterday I have worked late until about 8:30 p. m. I am terribly sorry.
  However, I would like to ask you out this weekend to make up for yesterday. Please give me a chance and I am waiting for your reply.

  * 临时有事未能赴约,一定要把事情解释清楚并真诚的道歉,最好能有弥补(to make up),就像这封信里所说的那样,邀请对方周末再碰头(I would like to ask you out this weekend)注意英文句子you must have been disappointed中情态动词的用法:情态动词+完成时态,表示过去行为。这句话应该理解为
你当时一定感到很失望
  例
2
  Directions: You have received a invitation from your friend, but you have already had some guests in your house. Please express the reason you cant go clearly in about 100 words.
  6.April
  Dear Lucy,
  I do appologize for having to send this letter about Saturday night.
  When I accepted your invitation, I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday morning. It is difficult for me to make a choice. Though I also wonder to meet you very much. I could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my home.
  I hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this Saturday. Should I make a visit to you in my other spare time?
  Thank you very much.
  鬃譢~

  * 自己家里有客人,自然不方便再接受别人邀请去做客所以可以明正言顺的表示拒绝或可另约时间。英文要强调谓语动词,可以加上助动词,例如:

  I do apologize for being late.

  
He did come yesterday.
  例3
  Directions: You are already have a date with your friend but suddenly have another thing to do and you have to tell your friend that you cant go. Express your reason clearly in about 100 words.
  Monday 9:00 a.m
  Dear Jane,
  I am sorry to tell you that I wont be able to come this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 p. m. to meet an overseas visitor from Australia. I really have kept our datd in my mind all these days, however, I received my boss e-mail this morning, he asked me to go to the airport to meet one of his friends from abroad, its suddenly and urgent and I must go. Please forgive me. Would you please ring me up to make another time?
  Many thanks.
  * 因有事而不能赴约,只能另约时间(to make或to fix another time)。写信人Bluce很可能是英国人,因为他把
打电话说成to ring somebody up,美国人通常说to call somebody。英国人打电话还可以说 to give somebody a ring,不要错以为别人要送你个戒指。与别人已经定好的约会却临时不能赴约时,应说明原因并诚恳地道歉,以期获得别人的谅解。
便笺(便条)和短信--分类举例--借物

  (Borrowing)

  例

  Directions:You are going to write a note for borrowing sth. please deseribe these information clearly.

  
1) the thing you ask
  2) detailed what you are going to do with it.
  3) how long will you take it.
  Tuesday
  Dear Xiao Wang:
  I wonder if I could borrow your electronic dictionary for a few days. Now I am translating some important articles. There are many new words which I have to look up the dictionary usually. I just have a paper dictionary but of course its not as convenient as the electronic one, which has a bad effect upon my velocity of my translating. So I think your electonic dictionary is more suitable for me to complete my work. I promise that I must be very careful of your dictionary and make no damage done on it. Thank you very much!
  Yours ever
  鬃譢~
  *字典是我们日常生活中常用的学习工具但是千万不能直接从字面上认为查字典就是check the dictionary而应该用look up这个固定短语来表达。
  影响……有一个很地道的短语。have effect upon/on,后面接受影响的人或物,如果是积极影响就在have和effect之间加a good ,反之,就加a bad其他的形容词例如great, remarkable也可以用来修饰effect,此词在这里是名词。
便笺(便条)和短信--分类举例--回复友人问侯

  (Reply for Regards)

  例

  Directions:You have just had a operation, and received a note of regards from your friend Jenny.
Now please write a reply to her to tell her your current situation.
  You should write about 100 words.
  Jan.8th.
  Dear Jenny,

The operation removed the cause of trouble. It is quite worth having the operation. I am daily recovering from my illness. Im confident I will soon be in the office again after proper treatment. Thank you for kind wishes.
  My best wishes to all your family
  鬃譢~
  *这是对好友问侯便条的回复。形式简单内容明了。过去完成进行时I had been suffering…my childhood表示动作从过去一直持续到现在。
备忘录--概述

  备忘录是一种录以备忘的公文。在公文函件中,它的等级是比较低的,主要用来提醒、督促对方,或就某个问题提出自己的意见或看法。在业务上,它一般用来补充正式文件的不足。它的内容可以分为以下几项:

书端(Heading);
  收文人的姓名、头衔、地址(Addressee
s Name, Title, Address);
  称呼(Salutation);

  事因(Subject);

  正文(Body) ;

  结束语(Complimentary Close);

  署名(Signature)。
备忘录--注意事项

  书端部分包括发文机关的名称、地址、发文日期,有的还包括电报挂号、电传号、电话号码等。许多机关有自己特制的信笺,在写书端时,其格式和标点符号的使用与一般信件的相同。收文人(或收文单位)的姓名、头衔、地址一项写在左上角编号处的下面,其格式与书信的写法相同。

  称呼从左边顶格写起,对一般机关、团体的负责人一般用 Dear Sir, 对政府官员可用 Sir。

  
事因一项目前采用得较少。它可放在称呼语之前,也可放在其后,前面可加 Re或Docket, Subject。如果此项写在称呼语之前,多从左边的顶格写起;若放在称呼语之后,一般写在信笺正中。它多采用不完整的句子,只需很少几个词,甚至一个词,目的在于使收文人对文中的主要内容一目了然,便于及时处理。
  正文、结束语和署名等项与一般信件的格式相同。

备忘录--举例
  例1

  Directions: Write a memorandum of about 100 words to the student service department and ask them to fix a telephone for each dormitory.

  
MEMO
  August 16,2004
  To:The leader of student service department
  From: Li Ming
  Subject:Telephone
  Dear Sir,
  I would like to remind you that we are in want of a telephone for each dormitory. As a university student, we need to cope with the daily increasing communications with teachers, friends and people outside the campus.
  We need a telephone to get and send message, which is important for us. Though most of us have mobile phones and e-mail address, a telephone in the dormitory is after all the most convenient and cheapest tool of communication. I hope that you will pay attention to this problem and solve it as soon as possible.
  Regards.
  Yours,

  Li Ming

  *
remind一词用法比较多,可以在后面直接接人或宾格,如提醒我译为please remind me.如果提醒某人某事则用remind somebody of something ,也可以在后面加从句,即remind sb that,remind还有一个意思为使想起同样用remind…of…的结构,应注意与提醒某事区分。
  例
2
  Directions:You are supposed to write a Memorandom of about 100 words to the leader of the supply section to borrow one more microscope for your biological experiment. It should include:
  1) Why you need the microscope.

  With kind regards.
  Yours sincerely,

  Li Ming

  *这是一封备忘录,在写备忘录的时侯,一定要注意它的格式,尤其要在开头写清楚是谁写给谁来备忘的,用From: To:两个单词即可。文中的
badly非常的,迫切的意思。短语in order to同下句的so that意思是一样的即:为了,目的是。不同的是前者后接动词原型而后者常跟目的状语从句 ,类似的短语还有in order that,用法与so that相同。

  I am aware of your great interest in literature, and I would like to point out that you could gain advantage to apply for leave without pay.
  If you need another information on the above, do not hesitate to keep touch with me at any time.

  Subject: Comments on the Punch-in System
  Date: March. 22, 2004

  I fully agree with you that we must increase productivity. As far as your proposal that if the punch-in system is adopted, we would have a tighter control over the employees is concerned. However, I dont think so. I personally think that, to accomplish this, we should give the employees more incentives to work faster. I feel that if we ( the supervisors) could meet with you , we could discuss different possiblilities to create such incentiveness.
  Your consideration of this suggestion would be appreciated.
  Tony Party
