65
例2:道歉信 DEAR POSTAL CUSTOMER, The enclosed was found loose in the mails or has been damaged in handling in the Postal Service (whichever is applicable to the enclosure). We realize your mail is important to you and you have every right to expect it to be delivered intact and in good condition. The Postal Service makes every effort to properly handle the mail entrusted to it but due to the large volume, occasional damage may occur.
66
When a Postal Office handles large quantities of mail daily, it is imperative that mechanical methods be used to maintain production and insure prompt delivery of the mails. It is also an actuality that modern production methods do not permit personal attention to individual pieces of mail. Damage can occur if mail is insecurely enveloped or bulky contents are enclosed. When this occurs and our machinery is jammed, it often causes damage to other mail that was properly prepared. We are constantly striving to improve our processing methods to assure that an occurrence such as the enclosed can be eliminated. We appreciate your concern over the handling of your mail and sincerely regret the inconvenience you have experienced. General Post Office
67
【译文】 尊敬的邮政用户: 您的邮件可能属于以下两种情况之一:袋内装的邮件可能原来并未封好,也可能是在邮局处理过程中遭到损坏。
我们知道您的信件对您十分重要,您完全有权利希望完好无损地收到。邮政部门尽了最大努力妥善处理委托给他们的邮件,但由于邮件量大,偶尔的损坏是难免的。 由于邮局每天要处理大量的邮件,为确保工作的顺利进行和邮件的快速投递,必须使用机械设备。事实上,现代化的生产方式不允许特别关注每一份邮件。如果信件未封好,或者邮件内装的东西太多,都可能破损。出现这种情况时,机器就会发生堵塞,常会对其他封好的邮件造成损坏。 我们正在努力改进工作方法,以保证类似的损坏事故不再发生。我们十分感谢您的关心,并对给您带来的不便深表歉意。 邮政总局 小节结束

例1:欢迎辞 Dear Students, Welcome to Manchester University and the Faculty of Education. Over the years the Faculty has not only pursued a policy of academic excellence but has also held a concern for the welfare of students studying in the Faculty. You are now probably having your first experience of living outside the intimacy of your family and your country. Owing to this, you are also probably experiencing the hardest time in your life. If it’s true, you are actually experiencing culture shock.
70
It must be admitted that everyone will experience culture shock to a greater or lesser degree especially when they move to live in another culture. It must also be admitted that we cannot avoid culture shock but we can take steps to reduce its impact. It is important that we try to understand the culture. Trying to alienate the foreign culture while you are in it will make life abroad much harder. I know at present you need help more than at any other time in your life. Don’t hesitate to contact the International Counseling Office, which always aims to give overseas students advice. Finally, on behalf of the Faculty, I would like to welcome you once again and hope that you will recover quickly from the culture shock and will enjoy both studying and living here very soon.

多年来,学院营建良好的科研氛围、关注学生良好的学习环境。
【译文】 亲爱的同学门: 欢迎你来曼彻斯特大学教育学院学习! 多年来,学院营建良好的科研氛围、关注学生良好的学习环境。 或许这是你第一次离开温馨的家庭和可爱的祖国, 或许你因此正在经历着你一生中最为艰苦难熬的时期。如果是这样的话, 实际上你正在经历着文化冲突。必须承认人人都会遇到这种文化冲突,特别是当移居异国他乡的时候。还必须承认谁都无法避免这种冲突,但是能够逐步地减少由这种文化冲突所带来的影响。重要的是我们一定要努力去了解这种文化。当你身处这种文化环境,又不想接触这种文化,会使你的国外生活更加艰难。 我知道你眼下比在你一生中的任何时候都需要帮助。请尽快与留学生咨询服务处联系,它会给你提供帮助。 最后,我代表学院,再一次欢迎你,并希望你尽快地克服文化冲突方面的困难、尽快适应这里的学习和生活环境。

例2:欢送辞 Ladies and gentlemen, It gives me great pleasure to be here tonight to say a few words about our manager, Mr. Franks, who is leaving us soon for another career. First of all, let me remind you how valuable Mr. Franks has been to the company. He joined the firm at the age of eighteen as a trainee and was soon promoted. He worked in our Manchester and London offices before returning here to take over as general manager. I know that all of us who have worked with him have been impressed not only by his business abilities, but also by his personal qualifies of kindness and patience. I’m sure you will agree that it will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace him. We will all be very sad to see him leave.
73
On the other hand, an occasion such as this is a time for celebration
On the other hand, an occasion such as this is a time for celebration. Mr. Franks can look forward to a new career and new responsibilities, and I have no doubt that he will enjoy the challenges that lie ahead. Finally, I’m sure that you will all join me in wishing him the very best for the future and in thanking him for everything he has done here for us. Mr. Franks, I have great pleasure in presenting you with this gift as a token of our thanks.

【译文】 女士们, 先生们: 今晚我十分高兴地在这里对我们的经理弗兰克先生致辞送行, 弗兰克先生将很快离别赴任。
首先, 让我们回顾一下弗兰克先生曾在我们公司工作时所做的贡献。他十八岁时作为实习生来我们公司工作,并很快晋升。他在来这里任总经理之前,曾在公司的曼彻斯特和伦敦分部任职。 他的工作能力、和蔼可亲的人格魅力给我们每个和他一起工作过的人都留下了深刻的印象,这一点有口皆碑。我相信大家都认为他是位不可多得的人才。他将离任,大家依依不舍。 另外,今日虽是离别,又值得庆贺。因为新的事业和新的工作正等待着弗兰克先生,毫无疑问他将要迎接未来的挑战。 最后,我相信大家和我一道向弗兰克先生的未来谨致良好的祝愿,并感谢他在这里为我们所做的一切。弗兰克先生,十分高兴向你赠送礼物,因为它代表着我们的感激之情。 小节结束

It was in the evening that I realized I forgot to meet you at the airport. Since then, I’ve tried to call you several times, but I feel you are still angry with me and wouldn’t answer my phone call. I promise this will not happen again and wish you would forgive me. Hoping to see you soon. Love James

Someday in the future you may have a need for a new private secretary.
12. 推荐信 第十八章综合练习及参考译文 Dear Mr. William, Someday in the future you may have a need for a new private secretary. Here is why I should like to offer myself for the job, and here is why I am so much interested in obtaining it. For one thing, I know that you do an enormous variety of work very fast and well. This offers a real challenge to whoever works for you. It is the kind of challenge I like to meet because, with all due modesty, I have so trained myself in secretarial work that only exacting problems are interesting to me.

12. 推荐信【续】 第十八章综合练习及参考译文 As to my mechanical abilities, I can take dictation at the rate of l80 words a minute, and transcribe at the rate of l00 words per minute, a speed which won me the Junior Transcribing Championship in Ohio. I taught at the Hooper Business School in Toledo, covering the subjects of book-keeping, filing, and elementary accounting. I am familiar with your type of work because my father ran a small printing business in Toledo and for some time before I left home at the age of 22, I was acting secretary and the treasurer of his company. I cannot think of any job in which I would be so useful as that of private secretary to you, since, in addition to my business training and experience, I could put to work for you and your organization the know-how of practical everyday business handling that I acquired in growing up in the printing industry Sincerely yours, Jane Kent

12. 推荐信【译文】 第十八章综合练习及参考译文 亲爱的威廉姆先生:
12. 推荐信【译文】 第十八章综合练习及参考译文 亲爱的威廉姆先生: 您将来或许需要一位新的私人秘书。我之所以毛遂自荐,极感兴趣的原因是:我听说您工作头绪繁多,可效率很高,在您手下工作的人无疑是一种挑战。这种挑战正是我所企盼的,因为毫不夸张地说,我在文秘方面受过严格的训练,唯有对高难度的工作才感兴趣。 至于机械性工作能力,我可以每分钟笔录180个词,誊写100个字,这个速度使我赢得了俄亥俄州初级誊写竞赛第一名。我在托利多市胡珀商业学校教过书,教过簿记、档案和基础会计。 我对您那里的业务很熟悉,因为家父曾在托市开过一家小印刷厂。在我22岁离开家以前,曾在那里当过一段时间的秘书并管理过公司的财务。 我想不出还有什么工作能比当您的私人秘书更能发挥我的特长的了,因为我不但受过职业训练,有工作经验,我还在印刷业的环境中长大,学到了处理日常具体事务的方法,可以为您和您的企业服务。 您真诚的 简·肯特

I must also express our thanks to you for the personal interest you have shown in our affairs over the past few years. As you know, we enjoy an especially close relationship with your staff and, without the help of your colleagues, we could not possibly have achieved all we have done towards developing and expanding such friendly links between our two countries. I should be glad if you would convey to your successor our desire to work in close harmony with him and it is our hope that before too long we shall be honoured by a man from him to this Organization. With every good wish for the future.

13. 欢送辞【译文】 第十八章综合练习及参考译文 亲爱的约翰逊: 当你准备回巴黎接受新职务时,我极为愉快地代表我部全体成员,并以我个人的名义,向您表达最良好的祝愿。 我们还必须对您个人在过去几年来对我们事业的关切表示感谢。如您所知,我们很高兴能与你们保持十分密切的关系。如果不是你的同事们的帮助,我们不可能在发展和扩大两国间友好关系上取得如此成就。 如果您能向您的继任人转达我们准备和他进行紧密而融洽的协作的愿望,我们将很高兴。我们还希望在不久的将来能够荣幸地请他到我们这里来访问。 谨致良好的祝愿。
