【正文】 免誤解，不影響感情，在這種情況下，應寫信給對方予以解釋，以請求諒解。此類信要寫得及時，態(tài)度要誠懇，用詞需謙遜。一般在信一開始就向對方表示歉意或內疚，然后說明原因并提出補救的辦法。例1 Directions: You have missed a date of your friend, now you have to write a letter for appologization in about 100 20th Dear Lily, I am sorry I missed seeing you know that you must have been also feel worried and anxious in my 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 am terribly , I would like to ask you out this weekend to make up for give me a chance and I am waiting for your reply. 臨時有事未能赴約，一定要把事情解釋清楚并真誠的道歉，最好能有彌補（to make up），邀請對方周末再碰頭（I would like to ask you out this weekend）注意句子you must have been disappointed中情態(tài)動詞的用法：情態(tài)動詞+完成時態(tài)，表示過去行為。這句話應該理解為“你當時一定感到很失望”。例2 Directions: You have received a invitation from your friend, but you have already had some guests in your express the reason you can’t go clearly in about 100 Dear Lucy, I do apologize for having to send this letter about Saturday I accepted your invitation, I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday is difficult for me to make a I also wonder to meet you very could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this I make a visit to you in my other spare time? Thank you very much. 自己家里有客人，自然不方便再接受別人邀請去做客所以可以明正言順的表示拒絕或可另約時間。英文要強調謂語動詞，可以加上助動詞，例如：I do apologize for being 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 can’t your reason clearly in about 100 9:00 am Dear Jane, I am sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to e this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 meet an overseas visitor from really have kept our date in my mind all these days, however, I received my boss’s this morning, he asked me to go to the airport to meet one of his friends from abroad, it’s urgent and I must forgive you please ring me up to make another time? Many thanks. 因有事而不能赴約，只能另約時間（to make或to fix another time）。英國人一般把“打電話”說成to ring somebody up，還可以說 to give somebody a ring，不要錯以為別人要送你個戒指。美國人通常說to call somebody。與別人已經定好的約會卻臨時不能赴約時，應說明原因并誠懇地道歉，以期獲得別人的諒解。4）借物(Borrowing)Directions: You are going to write a note for borrowing describe these information clearly 1)the thing you ask 2)what you are going to do with it 3)how long will you take Dear Xiao Wang, I wonder if I could borrow your electronic dictionary for a few I am translating some important are many new words which I have to look up the dictionary 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 I think your electronic dictionary is more suitable for me to plete my promise that I must be very careful of your dictionary and make no damage done on you very much!Yours ever， 字典是我們日常生活中常用的學習工具，但千萬不能從字面上認為“查字典”就是“check the dictionary”，而應該用“l(fā)ook up”這個固定短語來表達。“影響……”有一個很地道的短語?！癶ave effect upon/on”,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也可以用來修飾effect，此詞在這里是名詞。5）回復友人問候(Reply for Regards)Directions: You have just had an operation, and received a note of regards from your friend please write a reply to her to tell her your current Jenny, Thanks for your letter of sympathy I received the day before operation on my leg was a wonderful know I had been suffering a lot from my leg since my operation removed the cause of is quite worth having the am daily recovering from my ’m confident I will soon be in the office again after proper you for kind best wishes to all your family 這是對好友問候便條的回復。形式簡單，內容明了。過去完成進行時“I had been suffering…my childhood”表示動作從過去一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在。便條寫作中的語言表達：中國人與西方人看問題的方法的確在許多方面存在著差異，而且這種差異的的確確在束縛著中國學生，成為他們英文寫作中的攔路虎，使他們不能準確而簡潔地表達思想。比如寫下面一則便條，因母親突然生病，周末你不能和湯姆去跳舞了，你找了舞跳得很好的時黛來代替你，并表示抱歉。July 6Dear Tom，I am sorry to inform you that I won39。t be able to go to dance with you this weekend．My mother is suddenly taken ill．In order not to disappoint you，I have asked Shi Dai to take my place．She is a better dancer，I think．My regrets．Joe 從便條中可看出，英語表達先“果”—I won39。t be able to go to dance with you this weekend后“因”—my mother is suddenly taken ill，即所謂“先果后因”。一般來說，在單個句子中，英語句子也是先中心，也就是將主要思想、結果放在句首，放在主句里表達；而漢語正相反，一般為后中心，主要的觀點、信息往往放在句末。如：He had to stay at home yesterday because he was ill．（因為他病了，昨天他不得不呆在家里。）Tragedies can be written in literature since there is tragedy in life．（生活中既然有悲劇，文學作品就可以寫悲劇。）所以說，大學生用英文寫作時，要按照英美人的思維模式進行思考，避免寫出中國式的英語。專業(yè)四級便條寫作范例： note of Invitation Dear :Will you and be able to join us and a couple of friends on Saturday evening, October 5th, for dinner? Later we plan to go to the City39。s Performance Hall to see a Huangmei starts at sixthirty to allow plenty of time for the drive into town and arrival before curtain do hope you can yours, Ma Ming note of thanks Dear Betty, The beautiful electronic translator for me arrived you so much for sending me such a nice is very useful for me to study English with, especially when I e across some new words while to your gift, vocabulary is no longer my headache , it is lovely and the size is perfect for me to is the best gift I have ever you note of apologies ，I39。m terribly sorry I wasn39。t present on time in your class yesterday met with the traffic jam on my way to school so that I spent thirty minutes longer than know you are a little angry, anyhow it39。s my fault, so 1 wish you can forgive I will try to avoid such Note of Appointment Dear Betty，I wonder if I could see you in your office tomorrow, at 10: have many problems to talk over with you on my current makes me very I hope you could give me some good give me a phone call and let me know whether it is ok, or when you are Note of Congratulations Dear Jacky, I am so glad to hear that you won the first place in the National English Debating !How great you are!You set a
