经典范文074

Dear Wuji,

Congratulations on having received your doctorate in philosophy from Yale University. I know this represents years of study and hard work on your part. It is an achievement you can well be proud of.

I have followed your progress with pleasure and interest for many years, and I am sure, from the fine record you have made thus far, that you will be a success in whatever you undertake. No doubt you are tired after the strain of the past few months, so if you would like to come to my hometown for a few weeks of relaxation this summer, we’d be very happy to have you.

I’d certainly enjoy hearing about your plans, now that you have completed your college course. Think it over, and let me know.

Yours faithfully,

Li Ming

亲爱的无忌：

祝贺你取得了耶鲁大学哲学博士学位。我明白这是你自己多年来刻苦、努力学习的结果。你可以为这一成就而自豪。

多年来我一直以愉快而关切的心情关注着你的进步。从你迄今所取得的良好成绩来看，我深信你一定能在你所从事的任何工作中获得成功。毫无疑问，过去几个月的紧张学习一定使你很疲倦。今年夏天，如果你愿意到我的家乡来放松几个星期，我们将非常高兴地欢迎你。

现在你既然读完了大学课程，我乐于倾听你的打算。望考虑一下，然后告诉我。

您忠诚的，

九 推荐信

Directions: One of your foreign friends plans to go sightseeing in China. Write an email to recommend a place.

经典范文075

Dear Neo,

I hear that you are planning a sightseeing trip to China. Well, I have just returned from a place I am sure you will enjoy—Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi[1] Province, and one of the most wonderful tourist destinations in the country.

Xi’an was the capital of thirteen dynasties, so the place is full of ancient relics. I spent one week there, and didn’t have the chance to see even half of them. The major attractions are the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Banpo Neolithic Village.

Xi’an boasts plenty of modern hotels and restaurants, but they are not cheap, so you need to take this into account. If you visit, I hope you will have as much fun as I had.

Yours,

Li Ming



参考译文

亲爱的尼奥：

我听说你计划来中国观光旅游。我刚从一个地方回来，这个地方我相信你会喜欢的——西安，陕西省的省会，也是中国最佳旅游目的地之一。

西安曾是十三朝古都，因此古迹遍布。我在那儿待了一周，连一半的景点都没机会参观完。西安主要的景点有兵马俑、大雁塔和半坡新石器遗址。

西安以拥有众多现代酒店和餐厅而自豪，但它们并不便宜，因此你需要把这点考虑在内。如果你参观的话，希望你也会像我一样玩得开心。

李明

I have asked the university to extend my scholarship, but they told me they are unable to do so.

In the meantime, drop me a line and let me know what your work schedule is. That way I can visit you during your next vacation. I am looking forward to seeing you.

Yours,

Li Ming
