sday 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 it‘s 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 plete 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 *字典是我們?nèi)粘I钪谐S玫膶W(xué)習(xí)工具,但是千萬(wàn)不能直接從字面上認(rèn)為“查字典”就是“check the dictionary”,而應(yīng)該用“l(fā)ook up”這個(gè)固定短語(yǔ)來(lái)表達(dá)。 “影響……”有一個(gè)很地道的短語(yǔ)?!癶ave effect upon/on”,后面接受影響的人或物,如果是積極影響就在have和effect之間加a good,反之,就加“a bad”其他的形容詞例如great,remarkable也可以用來(lái)修飾effect,此詞在這里是名詞。 5)回復(fù)友人問(wèn)侯(Reply for Regards) 例 Directions:You ave 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. . Dear Jenny, Thanks for your letter of sympthy I received the day before yesterday. The operation on my leg was a wonderful success. You know I had been suffering a lot from my leg since my childhood. The operation removed the cause of trouble. It is quite worth having the operation. I am daily recovering from my illness. I‘m confident I will soon be in the office again after proper treatment. Thank you for kind wishes. My best wishes to all your family *這是對(duì)好友問(wèn)侯便條的回復(fù)。形式簡(jiǎn)單,內(nèi)容明了。過(guò)去完成進(jìn)行時(shí)“I had been suffering…my childhood”表示動(dòng)作從過(guò)去一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在。
