Dear Allen, [1] I just received your letter and I want to let you know my opinion of your plans for the future.I hope you won't take offense, but will accept what I say here as some fatherly advice.[2] I was quite surprised when I read in your letter that you had decided not to finish your studies at the university.I realize that Peter wants you to marry him this summer.But with only one more year to go, you would be well advised to finish.A year is really a short time, and later you will be glad you postponed getting married.[3] As you know, my reaction to Peter was extremely favorable when I met him.He's an exceptionally fine young man and should be a good husband.But I suggest you complete your education first.[4] You are twenty-one, a grown-up young lady old enough to make up your own mind.This is something you'll have to work out yourself.As your uncle, I have always tried not to interfere in your affairs and I don't intend to begin now.But, my dear niece, please do consider my words very carefully before you decide.Whatever you do, though, Allen, you know I only want one thing for you, and that is your happiness.Affectionately, Uncle John ★ well-advised /ill-advised =wise /unwise:明智的/不明智 例: You would be well-advised to stay at home today.◆ ◆Dear Mr.Lee:
[1] Please accept my apology for not meeting you for lunch Tuesday.I had the appointment written on my calendar and was looking forward to the occasion, but somehow I got my days mixed up〖搞混〗and didn't realize the mistake until now.Please forgive me.I'll call you on Friday to see if we can reschedule〖重新安排〗our luncheon meeting at your convenience〖在你方便的时候〗.[2] I'm eager to hear about the proposed Stone Project in more detail.◆ ◆Dear Mr.Billet:
[1] Thank you for reminding us that you will be in town next Wednesday and would like to discuss your printing services with Ms.Smith.[2] As Ms.Smith has indicated〖暗示;表示〗on several previous occasions, we are very pleased with our present arrangements for printing and definitely will not be considering and other services in the foreseeable〖可预见的;可预知的〗future.Therefore, Ms.Smith has asked me to tell you that a meeting would not be helpful at this time.[3] We appreciate your interest in our firm, however, and thank you for writing.〖富有处世技巧的商业信件:留有后路的拒绝〗

第五篇:李阳疯狂英语经典
礼节美语001讲
Ann.陈豪刚从大学毕业就在北京的一家美国公司找到了一份工作。今天他收到一张通知,可是里面有一个词他不懂,他只知道让他去参加一个什么训练班。所以他就去请教公司里的美籍华人Mary。(Office ambience)C:Excuse me, Mary, 请问通知上这个词是什么意思呀?E-t-i-q-u-e-t-t-e。M:Oh, etiquette, 原来是法文,意思是礼节。
C: 噢,原来是要我去参加礼节训练班。Mary,这词是怎么发音的? M:E-ti-ket。Q-u是发k的音,而不是发q的音,e-ti-ket。C:我们来公司工作,又不是来社交,为什么要讲礼节呀?
M:Etiquette is very important to business。一个公司的雇员对客户是不是很客气,有礼貌,这对经营有很大关系。
C:具体地说,这儿说的etiquette指些什么呢?
M:Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized manner。C:以文明的方式对待别人的一些原则。
M:具体地说就是treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.C:嗯,(若有所思地)对人要有礼貌,要尊敬别人,还要让人觉得和你在一起很自如。这没问题,I'm always polite and courteous to others。
M:但是,训练班讲的是西方礼节-western etiquette,和中国的礼节还不完全一样,因为两国有文化差异。C:这礼节还有文化差异?我得去训练班听听再说。****** C:嗨,Mary,我的训练班结束了,你那天说的文化差异一点也没错。M:听起来训练班好像让你开窍啦?
