演讲与致辞

演讲与致辞

一篇好的演讲稿，通常要有很精彩的演讲词，以及很好的文体特征和篇章结构，同时还得考虑所演讲的对象。

如何拟定演讲稿（How to Make a Speech Draft）

真正写好一篇演讲稿，拟稿人首先得了解演讲词的文体特征以及演讲词的篇章结构，此外，还得考虑所演讲的对象。这就是所谓“知己知彼，百战百胜”。

演讲词的文体特征（Stylistic Features of a Speech）

因此，在准备演讲稿时，应力求语言通俗易懂，诙谐幽默，生动形象，层次清晰，逻辑性强，句子精悍有力，文字朗朗上口，语言节奏感强。

1）放在前面多采用简单句。

2）语言多口语化。

3）多用排比句式。

4）重复修辞格多。

5）多采用祈使句。

6）多运用设问句。

在现代社会交际活动中，致辞的使用十分频繁。

一般地，根据场合不同，致辞大体可分为正式和非正式两种。正式场合致辞通常多用于官方性质的会议、仪式等场合，这类致辞要求结构严谨，语言规范。相反个人或民间举行的一些非正式的仪式，语言则可以随和、轻松一些。

致辞文体结构（Structure of a Speech）

一篇完整的致辞，一般由引言、正文和结论三大部分组成。

引言（Introduction）

在致辞引言中，演讲者应着重指明演讲主题的重要性以及重要意义以引起听众的注意及共鸣。

正文（Body）

正文部分是致辞的核心内容，因此应该突出主题，做到观点明确，层次清晰，以达到致辞的真正目的。

结论（Conclusion）

结论部分是对致辞的主体内容做出结论性的总结，并且应对相关问题提出希望。因此，写作时宜使用一些具有激励性、鼓舞性的语言。按照致辞的场合以及用途，常见的致辞种类可分为：欢迎词、答谢词、欢送词、告别词、开幕词、闭幕词、贺词、祝酒词、悼词等

证书

证书

证书所采用的也是一种应用文体形式，一般内容不长，语言精炼，用词严谨、准确。

与证明不同的地方在于，有的证书没有标题，但必须注明证书的号码。

常用的证书有：毕业证书、学位证书、结婚证书、退休证书、职称证书等。

证明

证明

证明通常是由个人所在单位或学校出具的证明个人身份、学历、经历或者某些事实真相的一种文书，具有一定的法律效力。在日常生活中，因为工作或交往的需要，出具证明是常有的事情。与证明相比，证书则是由学校、团体或机关颁发的能够证明资格或权力等问题的文件，例如考试等级证书、获奖证书、荣誉证书等等。无论是出具证明还是颁发证书，都必须坚持实事求是的原则，切忌弄虚作假。

证明的基本格式（The Style of Certificates）

英文证明的书写格式比较简单。但语言要求简洁、严谨，格式要规范，并且反映事实情况。通常证明上无需收信人姓名、地址，也无需结束敬语。证明一般由标题、正文、署名3部分组成。

合同与协议

合同与协议

合同或协议一般由三部分组成，即：标题、正文和署名。

标题（Title）

合同或协议的标题需要标明合同的性质，点明主旨，说明这是一个什么合同。在商务合同中，还宜在标题下面标明合同号码。

合同与协议正文（Body of the Text）

合同或协议的正文通常应包括开端、具体条款和结尾。

合同或协议的开端首先要写明签订合同或协议的双方名称、地址，同时简要说明签订合同或协议的目的。通常为了便于合同或协议在文中的引用，在双方名称后分别注明“以下简称为或称为买（卖）方或甲（乙）方”英语中称为“hereinafter referred to as...”或“hereinafter called...”。

产品说明书

产品说明书

产品说明书，又称为“产品使用手册（Operating Manual）”，是生产厂商为销售及进一步宣传和说明其产品而附在产品包装内部或外部的一种宣传资料，主要用来说明产品的结构、功能、性状等各方面特征，并告诉客户如何正确使用所购物品，使顾客对产品有深一层的了解，以免因使用不当而造成不良后果，同时对今后产品的日常保养有一定的提示作用。产品说明书在英语中通常有三种不同的说法，即，Instruction, Direction, Description。

一份成功有效的说明书，不仅可以迅速激起人们的购买欲望，而且可以起到良好的宣传广告作用。

英语产品说明书一般由标题（包括副标题）和正文两大部分组成。有的说明书在最后还附注厂商的名称。

天气预报

天气预报

天气预报是日常生活中每天都会有的我们经常能够从电视、广播等媒介中了解到它的相关信息。天气预报的内容一般有两大主体，包括对近期的天气情况分析和主要城市的天气情况介绍及气温预报。

天气情况分析（Weather Analysis）

天气情况分析是指在预报某一地区的主要城市天气情况和气温报告前，对某一地区所作的总体天气情况分析，例如气压、气流、云团的变化等等。一般是一个大范围的预测，时间可以预计到两三天甚至一周之内。

主要城市天气预报（Weather Forecast for Major Cities）

城市天气预报是对某地区的主要城市所作的天气情况（如晴、阴、雨、雪、多云、风力、风向等）的预报和气温报告，如今在很多大城市的天气预报中，还加入了空气污染指数，人体舒适度指数，穿衣出行指数等相关信息，使天气预报更人性化

食谱

食谱

食谱是指介绍菜肴的原料、制作及烹饪的工序与方法的小短文，一般在家庭中的应用比较广泛，食谱的内容一般包括菜肴名称、用料、烹饪工序以及食法等。食谱与菜谱（menu）不同，菜谱是指饭店、餐馆使用的印有菜名和菜价的目录单，供客人查询，而食谱主要是教会人们如何亲自动手制作出一道美味可口的菜，从而满足并丰富人们的生活

广告

广告

广告是人们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分，一则好的广告应该做到形式上新颖独特，以达到成上引起读者或听者注意的目的。

英语广告的结构（The Structure of English Advertising）

一则完善的书面广告应由以下五部分组成：

1）标题（headline），有的有副标题（subheadline）；

2）正文（body text）；

3）口号（slogan）；

4）商标（trademark）；

5）插图（illustration）。

以上五部分中，前三部分为语言文字（verbal）部分，是广告的主体部分；后两部分为非语言文字（nonverbal）部分，是广告的辅助性部分。

广告创意的基本原则（AIDMA Principle of Advertising）

一则好的英语广告，要求能够做到引起读者注意、激起读者兴趣、唤起读者欲望、让读者过目不忘、使读者采取行动。

广告语言的特征（Features of Advertising Language）

一般说来，广告语言都比较简明、形象、生动而口语化。因为它不仅要充分地宣传、介绍该广告的内容，又要想方设法地节省篇幅和时间。总之，广告的目的在于宣传，广告制作人应在撰写广告时作认真选择，反复推敲

贺卡

贺卡

在现代社会交际当中，贺卡扮演着越来越重要的角色。每当节日、生日、庆典等喜庆日子以及各种周年纪念日快来时，亲朋好友之间寄上一张精美的贺卡，致以良好的祝愿，以示庆贺。这样既有利于感情沟通，又能起到加深友谊的作用。贺卡可以购置，也可自己制作。贺卡的书写格式为：上端写上： To Mr.(Mrs., Professor, Miss, Director, Dean, President, etc.)××，其中的“To” 也可省去；下端写成：From ××，其中的“From” 同样的可以省略。正文写上： Wishing You A Happy New Year(A Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, etc.)，其中的“Wishing you”可以省略不写，也可代之以“With Best Wishes for”。

其中：“A Happy New Year”中的“A”也可省略。

例1：

To Mr.and Mrs.Brown

With Best Wishes for

A Merry Christmas

From Ronald Frye

日记

日记

日记是对每天所发生的和所做的事情的记录，有的日记则兼记对这些事情的感受。日记一般可分为两种类型，即伤痛 事型日记和抒情型日记。

My love is the human race—not, of course, the corrupt, servile, idle race that we too ofte

n meet.I love the great, fine possibilities, even in a corrupt people.I love the race of the centurise to come...We live in a time when everything is working toward amelioration.These seeds of enlightenment, these silent wishes and strivings toward the education of the race,...will yield glorious fruit.This is the sacred goal of my wishes and my activity—to plant the seeds which will ripen in another generation.启事

启事

启事是一种公告性的应用文。机关、团体或个人若有事情要向群众公开说明，或者对群众有什么要求，都可以把要说的意思简要地写成启事，张贴于布告栏等公共场所。特别重要的或涉及面较广的，往往还要登报。

启事的种类繁多，日常生活中常用的有：遗失启事、招领启事、征稿启事等等。

例1

Directions: Suppose you carelessly lost a Longman Modern English Dictionary in the reading room.Please write a notice of about 100 words, titled Lost.Lost

Aug.18,2004

I was so careless that I lost a copy of “Longman Modern English Dictionary” when studying in the reading room around 3 o’clock pm.yesterday.You can find my name “Euphemia” on the cover.The dictionary is a dear gift of my best friend who is working overseas.If you are the kind finder, could you do me a favor to send it to the office of the Foreign Languages Department or ring me up to fetch it back.I’ll be very grateful for your kindness.Loser，Euphemia

Address: Room 1010, 40#

Tel.No: 68602145

*寻物启事要包括对失物的具体描述，遗失地点，失主的联系方式，并要表示对归物者的感谢。

* 此为寻人启示，要写明所寻失踪者的信息，以及走失时间与原因，语言要求朴实、真诚，给读者以同情之感。

自我介绍

自我介绍

在社交场合以及日常生活中，自我介绍都是少不了的。例如：与生人相见，老师给新生上课前，领导到新单位就职等都需要作一番自我介绍，然而如何做好自我介绍却并非易事。

一般情况下，自我介绍的内容和形式应取决于所在场所的气氛和对象。自我介绍通常分为两类，即非正式场合自我介绍和正式场合自我介绍。当然，自我介绍大多指的是在非正式场合，因为正式场合会有人专门作介绍的。

自我介绍的语言要求诚恳、谦逊，切忌夸大其词、目中无人。其内容长短应适中，少则五六句多则一二十句即可。

海报

海报

海报是人们日常生活中极为常见的一种招贴形式，多用于电影、戏曲、比赛、文艺演出等活动。海报中通常要写清楚活动的性质，活动的主办单位、时间、地点等内容。海报的语言要求简明扼要，形式要做到机关报颖美观。

海报的格式，通常有三部分组成，即标题、正文与落款。

海报的标题对于海报的宣传极为重要。因此标题的撰写昼做到简洁明快，新颖醒目，抓住读者的注意力，海报的标题形式通常有两种：一是直接使用“海报”（Poster）一词；另一种则是根据海报的内容，撰写标题。

海报正文是海报的核心部分，它是对海报标题的具体描述。语言要求形象生动，简明扼要。做到既有鼓动性，又不夸大其辞。正文的常见表现形式有：简介说明式，文学描述式，美术设计式。

简历--概述

简历--概述

现代社会，人们在实现自我推销时，外语能力成了一项不容忽视的条件。因而，一份简洁，明了、富有说服力的英文简历会帮助你实现自我推销的目的。

在英语中，简历一般采用Resume 或 Curriculum Vitea 一词，偶尔也有Data Sheet或Vita，Vitae 的用法。

简历是就业时不可缺少的材料。它不是对自己的经历以及经验的一一列举，而是列出主要的且密切相关的材料。例如：经验、业绩、能力、性格等等，然后将这些相关信息用简洁有力的文字表达出来。写简历时，应身临其境地设想是推销员，并把自己当作产品推销。简历是人们寻求职业的重要手段，也是争取就业机会的第一关，因此，它必须写得出色，以便吸引雇主。通常一份成功的简历要遵循下列准则：

1）展现自己的优势和特长；

2）提供能吸引雇主的信息；

3）曾经取得过的成绩；

4）附上具有说服力的证明材料、证明人和推荐信。

5）格式美观，长度适中；

6）用词妥贴，语言简洁而不失重点。

摘要--概述

文章摘要是对所写文章主要内容的精炼概括。美国人称摘要为“Abstract”,而英国人则喜欢称其为“Summary”。

通常国际刊物要求所要刊登的文章字数，包括摘要部分不超过1万字。而对文章摘要部分的字数要求则更少。因此，写摘要时，应用最为简练的语言来表达论文之精华。论文摘要的重点应放在所研究的成果和结论上。

国际会议要求的论文摘要的字数不等，一般为200字-500字。而国际刊物要求所刊登的论文摘要的字数通常是100字-200字。摘要的位置一般放在一篇文章的最前面，内容上涵盖全文，并直接点明全旨。语言上要求尽量简炼。摘要通常多采用第三人称撰写。

科学书籍、论文和学术报告一般都附有内容摘要，这样可以节省读者的时间，使他们不必读完整个文章就能够了解它的主要内容。书籍摘要，一般放在封二或封三；论文和学术报告的摘要，一般放在正文前面。摘要应做到简明扼要，切题，能独立成文，使读者能准确地了解书籍的要义。写摘要时，最好用第三人称的完整的陈述句，文长一般不超过200个词。

摘要分陈述性的（Descriptive）和资料性的（Informational）两类。陈述性摘要只陈述书籍或文章的主题，不介绍内容。资料性的摘要除了介绍主题外，还应介绍文章的要点和各个要点的主要内容。

它可以包括三个组成部分

①点明主题，解析文章或书籍的目的或意图；

②介绍主要内容，使读者迅速了解文章或书籍的概貌；

③提出结论或建议，以供读者参考。

例1

Directions: Write a memorandum of about 100 words to the student service department and ask them to fix a telephone for each dormitory.MEMO

August 16,2004

To:The leader of student service department

From: Li Ming

Subject:Telephone

Dear Sir，I would like to remind you that we are in want of a telephone for each dormitory.As a university student, we need to cope with the daily increasing communications with teachers, friends and people outside the campus.We need a telephone to get and send message, which is important for us.Though most of us have mobile phones and e-mail address, a telephone in the dormitory is after all the most convenient and cheapest tool of communication.I hope that you will pay attention to this problem and solve it as soon as possible.Regards.Yours，Li Ming

*“remind”一词用法比较多，可以在后面直接接人或宾格，如“提醒我”译为please remind me.如果提醒某人某事则用remind somebody of something，也可以在后面加从句，即“remind sb that”,remind还有一个意思为“使想起”同样用remind…of…的结构，应注意与提醒某事区分。

例2

Directions:You are supposed to write a Memorandom of about 100 words to the leader of the supply section to borrow one more microscope for your biological experiment.It should include:

1)Why you need the microscope.2)When you need it.MEMO

From:Li Ming of the biological laboratory

Subject:Microscope

Dear Sir，I’m a student of biology department and we are badly in need of an extra microscope in order to improve our experimental work.Our experiment will start on Friday, so please issue a microscope to us as soon as possible so that we can prepare better for the experiment.With kind regards.Yours sincerely，Li Ming

*这是一封备忘录，在写备忘录的时侯，一定要注意它的格式，尤其要在开头写清楚是谁写给谁来备忘的，用From: To：两个单词即可。文中的“badly”是“非常的，迫切的”意思。短语“in order to”同下句的“so that”意思是一样的即：为了，目的是。不同的是前者后接动词原型而后者常跟目的状语从句，类似的短语还有“in order that”,用法与“so that”相同。

例3

Directions: If you are the teacher of the students’ Counseloris office: P: steelpes, and you have received a letter for requesting for paid education leave from a student.Write him a memo to reply him including details:

1)The result of his requirement.2)The reason for rejecting.3)some suggestions

You should write about 100 words.To: Records Section

From: P/ Steelpes, Career Planning

Subject: Request for Paid Education Leave

Date: May 22, 2004

In response to your request for one year of paid education leave to take a degree in English literature, I have to inform you that we cannot authorize this leave.While we appreciate your desire to improve your knowledge, we feel that English literature is not directly related to your present position and to the goals of this organization.I am aware of your great interest in literature, and I would like to point out that you cou

ld gain advantage to apply for leave without pay.If you need another information on the above, do not hesitate to keep touch with me at any time.P.Steels

* 首先要注意本篇备忘录的格式很标准。然后注意这个备忘录的个别词的用法，譬如：be aware of 注意到、当心的意思，point out 指出,request for 要求，in response to 反馈。

例4

Directions: You are a supervisor of a big company.The chief of operations wants to adopt the“punch-in”system to increase productivity.Write a memo to talk about this:

1)Does the “punch-in”system benefit the company?

2)If the company doesn’t adopt it, what else can we do to increase productivity.You should write about 100 words.To.David Green, Chief of Operations

From: Tony.Party , Supervisor

Subject: Comments on the “Punch-in” System

Date: March.22, 2004

This is further to your memo dated March.20, 2004, in which you proposed that employees adopt the “punch-in” system.I fully agree with you that we must increase productivity.As far as your proposal that if the “punch-in” system is adopted, we would have a tighter control over the employees is concerned.However, I don’t think so.I personally think that, to accomplish this, we should give the employees more incentives to work faster.I feel that if we(the supervisors)could meet with you , we could discuss different possiblilities to create such incentiveness.Your consideration of this suggestion would be appreciated.Tony Party

* 此篇是对一篇备忘录的回复。生产主管认为实行打孔考勤制度（“punch-in”system），有利于增加生产效率。但督察却不这样认为。他认为“should give the employees more incentives to work faster”。

例5

Directions: You are a manager of administration office naming Vera.M.Bradford.The board of directors have decided to anew the Fitness Center.Write a memo to tell all the employees that:

备忘录--概述

备忘录--概述

备忘录是一种录以备忘的公文。在公文函件中，它的等级是比较低的，主要用来提醒、督促对方，或就某个问题提出自己的意见或看法。在业务上，它一般用来补充正式文件的不足。它的内容可以分为以下几项：

书端（Heading）;

收文人的姓名、头衔、地址（Addressee’s Name, Title, Address）；

称呼(Salutation)；

事因(Subject)；

正文（Body）；

结束语（Complimentary Close）；

署名（Signature）。

备忘录--注意事项

书端部分包括发文机关的名称、地址、发文日期，有的还包括电报挂号、电传号、电话号码等。许多机关有自己特制的信笺，在写书端时，其格式和标点符号的使用与一般信件的相同。收文人（或收文单位）的姓名、头衔、地址一项写在左上角编号处的下面，其格式与书信的写法相同。

称呼从左边顶格写起，对一般机关、团体的负责人一般用 Dear Sir，对政府官员可用 Sir。

“事因”一项目前采用得较少。它可放在称呼语之前，也可放在其后，前面可加 Re或Docket, Subject。如果此项写在称呼语之前，多从左边的顶格写起；若放在称呼语之后，一般写在信笺正中。它多采用不完整的句子，只需很少几个词，甚至一个词，目的在于使收文人对文中的主要内容一目了然，便于及时处理。

正文、结束语和署名等项与一般信件的格式相同。

(Borrowing)

例

Directions:You are going to write a note for borrowing sth.please deseribe these information clearly.1)the thing you ask

2)detailed what you are going to do with it.3)how long will you take it.Tuesday

Dear Xiao Wang:

I wonder if I could borrow your electronic dictionary for a few days.Now I am translating some important articles.There are many new words which I have to look up the dictionary usually.I just have a paper dictionary but of course it’s not as convenient as the electronic one, which has a bad effect upon my velocity of my translating.So I think your electonic dictionary is more suitable for me to complete my work.I promise that I must be very careful of your dictionary and make no damage done on it.Thank you very much!

Yours ever

×××

*字典是我们日常生活中常用的学习工具，但是千万不能直接从字面上认为“查字典”就是“check the dictionary”，而应该用“look up”这个固定短语来表达。

“影响……”有一个很地道的短语。“have effect upon/on”,后面接受影响的人或物，如果是积极影响就在have和effect之间加a good，反之，就加“a bad”其他的形容词例如great，remarkable也可以用来修饰effect，此词在这里是名词。

便笺(便条)和短信--分类举例--道歉

（Apology）

人非圣贤，孰能无过。在社会交往中，人们常常会出现一些疏忽、过失等。如果发生此类事情，就会给对方带来麻烦和不便。为了避免误解，不影响感情，在这种情况下，应写信给对方予以解释，以请求谅解。

此类信要写得及时，态度要诚恳，用词需谦逊。一般在信一开始就向对方表示歉意或内疚，然后说明原因并提出补救的办法。

例1

Directions: You have missed a date of your friend, now you have to write a letter for appologization in about 100 words.May 20th

Dear Lily，I am sorry I missed seeing you yesterday.I know that you must have been disappointed.I also feel worried and anxious in my heart.The fact is that my manager at the last moment asked me to prepare a urgent plan while I could not get to a phone to call you and yesterday I have worked late until about 8:30 p.m.I am terribly sorry.However, I would like to ask you out this weekend to make up for yesterday.Please give me a chance and I am waiting for your reply.×××

* 临时有事未能赴约，一定要把事情解释清楚并真诚的道歉，最好能有弥补（to make up），就像这封信里所说的那样，邀请对方周末再碰头（I would like to ask you out this weekend）注意英文句子you must have been disappointed中情态动词的用法：情态动词+完成时态，表示过去行为。这句话应该理解为“你当时一定感到很失望”。

例2

Directions: You have received a invitation from your friend, but you have already had some guests in your house.Please express the reason you can’t go clearly in about 100 words.6.April

Dear Lucy，I do appologize for having to send this letter about Saturday night.When I accepted your invitation, I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday morning.It is difficult for me to make a choice.Though I also wonder to meet you very much.I could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my home.I hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this Saturday.Should I make a visit to you in my other spare time?

Thank you very much.×××

* 自己家里有客人，自然不方便再接受别人邀请去做客所以可以明正言顺的表示拒绝或可另约时间。英文要强调谓语动词，可以加上助动词，例如：

I do apologize for being late.He did come yesterday.例3

Directions: You are already have a date with your friend but suddenly have another thing to do and you have to tell your friend that you can’t go.Express your reason clearly in about 100 words.Monday 9:00 a.m

Dear Jane，I am sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to come this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 p.m.to meet an overseas visitor from Australia.I really have kept our datd in my mind all these days, however, I received my boss’ e-mail this morning, he asked me to go to the airport to meet one of his friends from abroad, it’s suddenly and urgent and I must go.Please forgive me.Would you please ring me up to make another time?

Many thanks.×××

* 因有事而不能赴约，只能另约时间（to make或to fix another time）。写信人Bluce很可能是英国人，因为他把“打电话”说成to ring somebody up，美国人通常说to call somebody。英国人打电话还可以说 to give somebody a ring，不要错以为别人要送你个戒指。与别人已经定好的约会却临时不能赴约时，应说明原因并诚恳地道歉，以期获得别人的谅解。

* 约朋友一起去看戏，可是朋友不在家，只好留下票子和一张便条，但又怕朋友来不了，所以在便条最后特地写上“如果你来不了，告诉我一声”（Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming）此文的wait for也可以用expect 代替。

2)the time and how long you will leave

Class 4, Grade 3

Aug.22nd

To Department Office

Secretary Li，I’m sorry to apply for ten day’s leave from the Aug.23rd to sept, 3rd instant.As I have to leave with the time is urgent.My father now in the hospital is badly ill.I have to go to see him and take care of him for a few days.You know I’m the only child in my family.Of course I will show you the telegram about my fathers illness which is recieved from my mother to support my application.As concern as the missed lessons during my absence, I promise I will do my best to catch them on after I come back to the campus.Wish for your allowance.Yours respectfully

×××

*本文是一封请假条，一般我们要向上级或老师请假，通常用的是ack for leave这个短语，请三天假可写作：ask for three days’ leave;因病请假则是ask for sick leave.leave在这里是名词用法，文中用的短语是apply for意为“申请”，含有更加郑重的意味，常用于下级对上级或晚辈对长辈的书面语中，“Only child”意为“独生子女”相应的，“独生女”译作“only daughter”而“独生子”译作“only son”.As concern as.后面跟名词性结构，意为“涉及到，至于”与Concerning同意，两者可以互换。

例2

Directions:Your father is seriously ill, and you want to go back home.Write a note to the secretary and it should include.1)the cause for leaving;

2)the days: from 16th to 21 st;

3)Catch on the lesson after returning school.July 5th

Dear Miss Huang，My sister called me last night, and she said that my father is dangerously ill.I beg to apply for seven days’ leave of absence from 16th to 21st instant, in order that I can see my beloved father.I should be much obliged if you would grant me my application.As regards the lessons to be missed during my absence, I will do my best to make up for them as soon as I get back from home.Sincerely yours，×××

*本格式采用The Semi-indented Form（半缩进式），以前比较流行，现在人们也继续采用。I should be much obliged if you would...是一种客套语，表示“结果……，我当不胜感激。”“补课”的英文是to make up for the lessons。as soon as意思是一……就。

便笺(便条)和短信--概述

便笺(便条)和短信--概述

便条也是书信的一种形式。它的特点是内容简短，主要有临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。跟正规书信相比，便条的语言比较口头化，比如要通知某事只需这样开头：Just a line to tell you that...而无须像正规书信那样This is to inform you that...开头。另外，在便条中常出现省略现象，例如：“key to back door is under mat.”或者“key to back door under mat.”(后门钥匙在垫子下面)代之以“The key to the back door is under the mat.”。

结束时也无需结尾礼词，只需写上写便条者姓名。如果是关系比较近的人，则只需写上姓或名。

便笺(便条)和短信--注意事项

1.词句简洁，尽量避免应酬语和各种敬词

2.切忌内容空洞、言不达意。

便条的日期通常写在右上角。一般只写上星期几或者星期几上午或下午，也可写上午、下午的具体时刻。日常应用中，写上几月几日的也很普遍。但一般不写年份，因为便条的内容多半是当日或近日内要办的事情。写便条时，不得事先准备，因此无固定格式，大多用手写。
