要求借款人还钱函
January 25, 2006 Dear Harry, Last fall you borrowed US$6,000 from me with the understanding that you would pay it back at the end of the year.But it is nearly February and I have yet to hear from you.I hope I am correct to presume that you have merely been delayed in repaying me.Let me add that I am not really concerned about the interest you promised me.But I hope you can at least pay back the principal.If you are having financial difficulties, you can return the money in installments, but I would like to have it all by the end of June at the latest, and at least half of it by the end of February.I would like to give you more time, but I need the money myself.Sincerely, Timothy White 亲爱的哈利:
去年秋天你向我借六千元美金,并约定在年底还我钱。但现在已将近二月了,我还没有你的讯息。我猜你只是延缓还我钱,希望我的猜测是正确的。
让我补充说明一下,我并不是真的在乎你答应要给我的利息。但我希望你至少还我本金。如果你有财务上的困难,可以分期付款还钱,不过我想最迟在六月底要还我全部的钱,而在二月底前则至少还我一半的钱。我本想给你更多的时间才还我钱,但我自己却须要用钱。提摩西‧怀特 敬上 2006年1月25日 字词解释: 1.fall 秋天 =autumn 2.borrow 借用

April 14, 2005 Dear Tom, Sorry it’s been so long since I last wrote you.I heard from our ex-classmate Sally that you broke your ankle playing basketball.My sympathies on your injury.I remember that you were always very active in school, so I’m not surprised that you still play sports.But I am curious as to how you hurt yourself.Of course, if the memory is too painful, you don’t have to tell me.Since you will be bedridden for the next few weeks, I thought you might like some books to read.I am sending you copies of two of my favorite novels.I hope you enjoy them.Take good care of yourself;don’t try to get out of bed until your ankle is healed!Get well soon.Your friend, Dan Wilson 亲爱的汤姆:
很抱歉自从我上次写信给你至今已经好久好久了。从我们的老同学莎莉那里我听到你在打篮球时脚踝骨折。在此我要为你的脚伤寄上我同情的慰问。记得以前在学校时,你一直都很活跃,所以我对你仍然活跃在运动场上并不感到讶异。但我很想知道你是怎么受伤的。当然,如果那是很痛苦的回忆,你就不必告诉我了。
因为你还要在床上待上几个星期,所以我想你可能想看一些书。我寄两本我最喜欢的小说给你,希望你也能喜欢。请你善自保重;在脚踝痊愈前不要急着想下床走动!祝 早日康复

情人欲绝交函
February 15, 2005 Dear John, I really don’t know how to begin this letter.Writing it is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.I’ve been doing some thinking lately.As you yourself said, three more years is a long time and, well, I really don’t think it’s good for either one of us to expect the other to wait so long.In other words, I think you should go ahead and date other people and I will do the same.I still care about you, but we are too far apart.Also, I’ve decided to stay in America for the summer, so it will be a very long time before I’ll see you again.I think it’s better for both of us to be free.Love, Joy 亲爱的约翰:
我真的不知道如何下笔写这封信。写这封信是我所经历过必须做的最困难事情之一。我最近一直想一些事情。你自己曾说,三年是一段漫长的时间,而且,嗯,我真的不觉得期待对方等待这么久对我们任何一方是好的。换句话说,我想你应该放手去和别人约会,而我也会这么做。
我仍然在乎你,但是我们相隔太远了。我也已经决定暑假要留在美国,所以再见到你会是很久以后的事了。我想恢复自由身对我们两个都比较好。爱你的乔依 敬上 2005年2月15日 字词解说:
