[size=3] A LETTER TO A FRIEND
Beijing
October 21, 1961
Dear Liying,
How time flies! This is already my seventh week at college. We are very busy here and life is very interesting. There are so many new things to learn. We have English lessons every day and I like them very much. We also study Chinese and World History.
After class we have all kinds of activities. Sometimes we work on the college farm. On Saturday afternoon we usually have our class meeting. Sometimes we listen to a report. On Saturday evening there is a film or a dance.
Autumn is the best season in Beijing. The days are warm and sunny. We are planning an outing for next Sunday.
How are you? Are you still busy with the harvest? Please write to me soon and tell me about your life as a teacher.
Yours ever,
Wu Ming[/size]

[size=3] 给朋友的一封信
亲爱的丽英:
时间过得真快!现在是我上大学的第七周了。我们这儿很忙,生活也很有意思,有那么多的新东西要学。我们每天都有英语课,我很喜欢它。另外我们还学习汉语和世界史。
课后我们开展各种活动。有时去校办农场劳动。星期六下午通常是开班会,有时也听报告。星期六晚上不是有电影就是有舞会。
秋天是北京最美的季节,每天都暖融融的,充满阳光,我们正筹划下星期天出去郊游呢。
你怎么样?还在忙着秋收吗?请快快写信告诉我你当教师的生活。
朋友:吴明

[size=3]课文注释:[/size]
[size=3] NOTES TO THE TEXT[/size]
[size=3]A LETTER TO A FRIEND
是课文的标题,不是信内容的一部分。[/size]
[size=3]书信中的日期:
21 October, 1961 the twenty-first of October,1961(英)
October 21, 1961 October (the) twenty-first, 1961(美)[/size]
[size=3]书信中的称呼:
英文书信中的开头称呼一般用Dear,后面可跟名或姓,后面跟姓时一般要在姓的前面加上先生 / 太太 / 女士 / 小姐等。
Madam 女士(社交场合对妇女的尊称)
Ms 女士(未婚或已婚均可)
Mrs ……太太(已婚,用夫姓),如:Mrs. Smith 史密斯太太
Miss 小姐(未婚)
Dear Liying 熟人间直接用名字,这里Liying是名不是姓。
称呼之后英国人习惯用逗号,美国人习惯用冒号。[/size]
[size=3]How time flies! 时间过得真快!(岁月如流)
这是由how引出的感叹句,how没有实际意义。[/size]
[size=3]There are so many new things to learn. 有很多新的东西要学。
不定式to learn是名词修饰语,修饰名词things,在结构上与things有动宾的关系。这里learn不能用study来代替,study也是“学习”但更多地带有“钻研、研究”的含义。[/size]
[size=3]We also study Chinese and World History. 我们还学习汉语和世界史这两门课程。
Chinese 和 World History,因为是课程名称,所以每个单词的头一个字母要大写。[/size]
[size=3]After class we have all kinds of activities.
all kinds of activities 各种各样的活动
all kinds of 各种各样的(后面所接名词要用复数形式)[/size]
[size=3]On Saturday evening there is a film or a dance. 星期六的晚上,不是有电影就是有舞会。
a film or a dance是主语;连词or表示选择,意思是“或者”,在意义上表示单数,所以be动词用is。[/size]
[size=3]Autumn is the best season in Beijing. 秋天是北京最好的季节。
the best表示“最好的”,best前面一般要用冠词the。[/size]
[size=3]We are planning an outing for next Sunday. 我们正在计划下星期天去郊游呢。
are planning是动词plan的现在进行时态,表示“正在做……事”;outing的读音以元音字母o开始,所以前面的冠词用an;介词for表示约定的时间,例如:
a meeting for Monday 星期一的会议
a dance for tomorrow 明天的舞会[/size]
[size=3]How are you?
你好吗?/ 你近来情况怎么样?(问候语)
回答:I’m fine, thank you. / Very well, thank you. 我很好,谢谢。[/size]
[size=3]Are you still busy with the harvest? 你们还在忙着收割庄稼吗?
be busy with 忙于干……事,例如:
I’m very busy with my work. 我工作很忙。[/size]
[size=3]Please write to me soon and tell me about your life as a teacher. 请尽快给我写信,给我讲讲你当老师的生活情况。(祈使句)
write to me = write a letter to me 给我写信;介词短语as a teacher意为“作为一名老师”,修饰life;tell me about“给我讲讲”,例如:
Tell me about your work. 给我讲讲你的工作情况。
I want to tell him about my plan. 我想给他说说我的计划。[/size]
[size=3]书信的结尾谦称(complimentary close):
Yours sincerely,(比较正式) Yours truly,
Lovingly yours, With love, Best wishes,[/size]
