【雅思培训】四步把握G类书信语气（下）

   这类信件的语气要视收信人是谁而定，但*有句老话说得好“礼多人不怪”，至始至终*持一个歉意的态度是这类信件要注意的细节：

   Your neighbors have recently written to you to complain about the noises from your flat/ house.

   Write a letter to your neighbor. In your letter

   1. explain the reasons for the noise

   2. apologize

   3. describe what action you will take

   对方是熟识的邻居，即便如此，来自于写信人公寓的噪声对其干扰仍然是不可原谅的，对于对方的抱怨信，尽管我们可以选取熟络的语言来致歉，但语气和态度仍然需要诚恳，如

   I am really sorry for the noises from my flat/house.

   I hope you can accept my apologies.

   I am trying to …

   I promise…

   这样的语句会让收信人觉得写信人是极有诚意解决这件事情的，起到了积*歉的效果。

   其他可供参考的语句有：

   I am awfully/terribly sorry for what I have done.

   I feel very guilty for what I have done to you.

   I am afraid what I have done has caused many inconveniences to you.

   Please accept my most cordial and humblest apologies for…once more.

   I will try my utmost not to make such a stupid mistake again.

   I am so sorry to have put you to so much trouble.

   4）建议信

   朗阁海外考试研究中心分析认为，首先考生们要分清楚建议信和抱怨信有着本质的区别，前者着重在于给出一些中肯的建议，语气是可以商榷沟通的，相对比较缓和，而抱怨信的目的是为了说明问题并得到对方的回复和解决，而且这一问题常常给写信人带来生活上较大的不便。建议信的重点在于在肯定原有成绩的基础上，尽量选取较为“乐观、积极”的词语表达自己对信中所述问题的兴趣甚至是参与愿望。如：

   I am delighted to learn …

   In my point of view, it would be better to…

   I am very interested in …

   I am ready to offer the information needed.

   请看下面这个例子：

   You are a member of a sports club in an old building. Now all the members are asked to provide suggestions to the manager of the club about the improvement of the club building. Write a letter to offer some suggestions. In your letter, you should say:

   1. Why the club is important to you?

   2. What your suggestions are

   3. What benefits the members can obtain after improvement.

   写信人被要求向一家体育俱乐部的经理提出俱乐部设施的升级建议，一些有建设性的中肯建议再通过积极参与的态度表现出来，会更容易被接纳。

   5）感谢信

   在写感谢信时，分清收信人尤为重要，本是亲密的多年好友，如果用词过于客气和庄重会让人觉得矫情，对于较为陌生的收信人，如下的表达就比较合适：

   I take this opportunity to express to you my deep appreciation for the kind assistance you rendered me.

   I wish there were a better word than “thanks” to express my appreciation for you generous help.

   My appreciation to you for your generous help is beyond words. I wish I could repay it one day.

   Please accept my most cordial thanks for your timely help, which I will always remember.

   Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind help.

   6）询问信

   在询问时，一些常见的客套表达是必要的：

   I would like to obtain some information about…

   I would like some detailed information on / about...

   I am writing to you in the hope that I may obtain...

   I wonder if …

   另外一处体现礼貌原则的部分是在结尾对于收信人将要*的帮助给予感谢。

   I would be much obliged to you if you could let me know …

   Your prompt and favorable attention to my inquiry would be highly appreciated.

   I am looking forward to a favorable reply at your earliest convenience.

   四、收尾落款

   签名处的落款也有一定的要求，如果在称呼处用的是“Dear Mr.”等，我们习惯在此处用“Yours sincerely”，如果是称呼“Dear Sir or Madam”, 我们就会用“Yours faithfully”结尾。如果和收信人关系较为亲密，Yours, With love等甚至直接留下名字都是可以接受的。
