Unit 1邀请信
邀请信包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等各种邀请信件，形式上大体分为两种：一种为正规的格式 (formal correspondence)，亦称请柬；一种是非正式格式 (informal correspondence), 即一般的邀请信。邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规，但也是很考究。书写时应注意： 邀请信一定要将邀请的时间（年、月、日、钟点）、地点、场合写清楚，不能使接信人存在任何疑虑。例如：“I’d like you and Bob to come to Luncheon next Friday.”这句话中所指的是哪个星期五并不明确，所以应加上具体日期, “I’d like you and Bob to come to luncheon next Friday, May the fifth.”

[Mr. and Mrs. Lin Dun] are that very charming couple we met in [London] last summer. They have a wonderful collection of [oil paintings of various stages]; and I understand that Mr. Lin Dun is quite an authority on [oil painting]. I’m sure you and Walter will thoroughly enjoy and evening in their company. We’re planning supper at six; that will give us a nice long evening to talk. If I don’t hear from you before then, I’ll be expecting you on the [twelfth]!

1. 推荐研究人员（专用） Recommendation of researcher Dear Sir, I take pleasure in recommending to you [Mrs Chen Ping], [instructor of physics in Tianjin Chinese Medical College]. [Mrs Chen Ping] graduated from [the physics Department of Beijing Teachers’ University in 1982]. From [1983] to [1985] [she] had been a research student [in Physics Department] of the above-mentioned University under my direction, majoring in [molecular spectra] study. Since [1986 she] has been doing teaching and research work in [Tianjin Chinese Medical Col-lege] in [the line of infrared spectra of lipids]. I have found [Mrs Chen] to be a hard-working person, who has made some outstanding achievements in [her] work. [Mrs Chen] now intends to engage in further study of [infrared spectroscopy, and laser spectroscopy] in particular. If possible, [she] would like to do research work under the direc-tion of [Professor Li Gang] whose distinguished attainments are well-known. Not only I myself but also my colleagues in [the Physics Department of our university] shall deem it a great favor if you will give [Mrs Chen Ping] assistance and guidance during her study in your university. Yours truly, 
我高兴地向您推荐[天津中医学陆军物理学讲师陈平夫人]。 [陈平夫人于1982年]毕业于[北京师范大学物理系]。[从1983年到1985年]在我的指导下，在上述的大学进行[分子光谱研究]。自[1986年]以来，一直在中医学院任教并研究[脂肪的红外光谱]。我发现她是一位勤奋工作的人，在工作中做出过一些突出的成绩。 现在她拟在[红外学光谱学]，特别是[激光光谱学]方面作进一步的研究。如果可能的话，她愿意在卓有成就的[李刚教授]的指导下从事研究工作。 如果[陈平夫人]在贵校攻读期间，您能给予帮助和指导，那么不仅我本人，我们大学物理系的同事们也将不胜感激。
 2. 自我推荐（专用） Self-recommendation [World Publishing House] [55 Wu fu street] [Heping District] [Beijing, 300000] [China] [July 15, 2005] [Warner Books] [P. O. Box 690] [New York, N. Y. 10019] [U. S. A.]
Dear Sir, I wish to apply for a position with your [publishing house]. I’m [35] years old and am at present employed by [World Publishing House], where I have been for [the past five years]. Formerly I was employed by [Dongfang Press] where I was nearly [five years]. My only reason for leaving either those positions would be to better myself and I feel there is no further opportunity in my present position. The editorial work had always had a great appeal to me as I have some ability in writing and editorial work. I can give you references from both these press houses as to my character and ability as an editor. Very truly yours, [Li Ming] [signature] (略) 我希望能在贵社谋求一职位。我现年[35]岁。目前受雇于[天津出版社]，最近[5年里]本人一直在该社工作。在这之前，本人还在[东方出版社]工作近[5年]。 我打算离开这两个职位的唯一理由就是谋求高升。我觉得目前的职位不利于本人的发展。 由于我在写作和编辑工作方面有些能力，所以编辑工作一直对我具大的吸引力。 关于我的人品和能力，我可以请上述两个出版社单位写介绍信以供参考。 [李明]（签字） [2005年7月15日]

With kind regards, Yours sincerely,

Unit 11 道歉信
 因过失或疏忽做错了事，给别人带来了麻烦或损失，发觉后要立即写信给对方赔礼道歉，这是一种礼貌。这类信要写得坦率，诚恳。
1. 因未能践约赴宴致歉 Unable to keep one’s promise
Dear [Miss Nancy], Much to my regret I was unable to keep my promise to attend your [birthday] party [last Saturday], owing to the fact that my [little son] was suddenly taken ill early [that day]. Hoping to see you soon. Truly yours,
亲爱的[南希小姐]： [小儿][上周六]突然生病，因此未能应约赴[生日]宴，殊觉抱歉，希原谅，再见。 祝 好！
2. 因迟复来信致歉 Because of answering one’s letter late 
Dear [David]: I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having answered your letter dated [7, December] sooner, but when I have told you the reason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your letter arrived, I was just in [Hong Kong]. As my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep regret. I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give you an account to of them when I see you next. Yours,
亲爱的[戴维]： 请原谅我收到您[12月7日]的来信后迟迟未复，现将原因告诉您，相信您一定会谅解的。您的来信到来时，我正巧在[香港]，家人无法及时转递。你的信一直放在我写字台上，直到我回到才看见，拖至今天才回信，深表歉意。 这次出去旅行饱览了许多美丽景色，下次见到您时，将告诉您一切。 祝好！
 3. 因未能及时还书致歉 Unable to return borrowed book on time
Dear [Kate]: Excuse me for my long delaying in returning to you your “Robinson Crusoe” which I read through with great interest. I had finished reading the book and was about to return it when [my cousin] came to see me. Never having seen the book, [She] was so interested in it that I had to retain it longer. However, I hope that in view of the additional delight thus afforded by your book, you will overlook my negligence in not returning it sooner. Thanking you again for the loan. Sincerely yours,
亲爱的[凯特]： 我迟迟未能归还您的那本《鲁滨逊飘流记》，请原谅。该书我读得津津有味。读完后，正预备归还您时，我的[表妹]来访，见这本书也感兴趣，定要借去一读。为了让别人也能分享您那本书所给予的乐趣，我不能及时归还。我想再延迟些日子奉还，谅您不会介意的。 再次感谢您的慷慨。 祝好！
 4. 因遗失借书致歉 Because of losing a borrowed book
Dear [Frank]: I am terribly sorry to tell you that I have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me [last week]. I read it [everyday] and intended to finish it [next month]. [Last night] when I came to my room, it was nowhere to be found. I will try to recover it as soon as possible. If I fail to find it, I will get a new book for you. But I am afraid it can never take the place of the old one. Old books are like old friends. Once lost, they can never be replaced. They are connected with cherished associations which the new ones can never have. And for this irrecoverable loss, I am to blame. I was so careless with my things. This is a warning to me to be more careful in the future. Yours truly,
亲爱的[弗兰克]： 很抱歉，[上星期]您借给我的那本书竟遗失了。我[每天]都在看，准备[下个月]看完。[昨晚]我回到我的卧室，到处也找不到那本书。我将尽力找到它。万一找不到，我只好买一本新的还您。 但是，新书恐怕不能代替那本旧书吧！旧书跟旧友一样，一旦失去就不能再得。旧书与往事相连，这种不可弥补的损失，皆由我起。我对待一切太大意了，这次给我一个警告，叫我以后要小心。 祝好！

Dear [Alice], Your [mother] tells me you have the [mumps] and must be absent for [half a month]. There are several others in the same condition. Do be careful while you are ill. Don’t think of doing any homework. We’ll have reviews when the sick ones all return. You can watch television or listen to radio programs to help pass the time while you recuperate. I asked (Sue) to bring you several [pop music tapes], as [she] said you have a [tape-recorder] at home. I think you might find them nice. We all miss you and shall be happy when you return. Yours truly,
亲爱的[艾丽斯]： 你[母亲]告诉我，你患[腮腺炎]，必须休假[半个月]。还有几个同学情况也是这样。在生病期间，要多注意休息，不要去想做作业。等生病的同学都回来了，我们将进行复习。你可以看看电视或听听广播，以便帮助你在养病期间消磨时间。我已经叫[苏]给你带去几盘[通俗歌曲盒带]，因为[她]说你家里有一台[录音机]。我想你会觉得它们很好听。 我们都很惦念你。当你回来时，我们将很高兴。
