Subject: Visit to the US
Dear Jiang,
Great to hear you’re coming to the US! I hope I can convince you to stop by and visit us in New York. There’s so many things to see and do here in the Big Apple(在纽约). It would take a lifetime to list them all! But knowing you as I do, I’d suggest walking through Midtown Manhattan. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in the US and just can’t be missed!

主题:美国之行
亲爱的姜,
很高兴听说你要来美国了! 我希望我能说服你来纽约拜访我们。 在纽约有很多东西可以看和要做的事情。 把它们都列出来要花一辈子的时间! 但以我对你的了解,我建议你去曼哈顿中城走走。 它是美国最受欢迎的旅游景点之一,绝对不能错过!
stop by顺便访问;顺便看望
Could we stop by next week
我们下周能过来一下吗?
Perhaps I'll stop by the hospital.
也许我会顺便去趟那家医院。
I'll stop by this evening for a chat.
今晚我想过去聊聊。

Broadway district with its cafes, street performers and enormous and colorful signs really captures New York’s loud spirit! As Broadway is the heart of the American theater industry, it’s at night when it truly comes alive. Broadway is famous for its big theaters, showing Shakespeare, modern drama, dance shows or musicals --- take your pick(随你挑(非正式))! With your love of singing and interest in amateur dramatics, I’d recommend a musical. It’s a moving and intense experience that I’m sure you would love --- a bit like(有点像) Peking Opera! Quite a few musicals are based on classic stories like Les Misérables or Peter Pan, and they might even inspire you to read the books, too!
My big news is that we’re all thinking about doing a big trip in China in the winter vacation. We’re looking for a combination of fun and traditional culture. Can you recommend a place of cultural highlights
See you soon! (Fist bump!!)
Selena
百老汇区有咖啡馆、街头表演者和巨大多彩的标牌,真正抓住了纽约的喧嚣精神! 由于百老汇是美国戏剧产业的中心,只有到了晚上它才真正活跃起来。 百老汇以它的大剧院而闻名,上演莎士比亚、现代戏剧、舞蹈表演或音乐剧——任你选择! 鉴于你对唱歌的爱好和业余戏剧的兴趣,我建议你看一部音乐剧。 我相信你会喜欢这种感动和紧张的体验——有点像京剧! 相当多的音乐剧是基于像《悲惨世界》或《彼得潘》这样的经典故事,它们甚至可能会激发你去读这些书!
我的重大新闻是我们都在考虑寒假去中国旅行。 我们在寻找乐趣和传统文化的结合。 你能推荐一个有文化特色的地方吗
再见! (顶拳礼!!)

Dear Selena,
Thank you for all your recommendations, which have definitely inspired me to include New York in my trip. I can’t wait to see you there!
I’m so excited to hear that you’re coming to China! I can easily suggest places for you to visit because there are so many interesting ones. First of all, I must recommend my own city, Chongqing. Located in the southwest, it would give you an experience of urban China different to that of any other Chinese city.
Chongqing is a hilly city with a unique landscape, so the best way to travel around is by the light rail. Most of the light rail is above ground, so it’s a great way to get a feel for the place. And Chongqing is the perfect spot to see the amazingly clear line where the emerald waters of the Jialing River and those of the sandy Changjiang River meet. The city is also beautiful at night, with its shining lights reflected on the rivers. The most spectacular nighttime views are from one of the surrounding mountain tops.
Last but not least, you absolutely mustn’t miss out on Chongqing food – it’s spicy, yes, but I promise that after trying one of our local hotpots, you’ll be hooked. There are loads of other things to see and I’d be very happy to show you around! See you soon in New York!
Yours ,
Jiang
亲爱的赛琳娜,
谢谢你所有的推荐,这绝对激励了我把纽约纳入我的旅行。 我迫不及待地想在那里见到你!
听说你要来中国,我很兴奋! 我可以很容易地为你推荐参观的地方,因为有很多有趣的地方。 首先,我要推荐我自己的城市,重庆。 它位于中国的西南部,将带给你不同于中国其他城市的城市体验。
重庆是一个山城,风景独特,所以最好的旅游方式是乘坐轻轨。 大多数轻轨都在地面上,所以这是一个很好的方式来感受这个地方。 而重庆是观赏嘉陵江与沙质长江交汇处那令人惊叹的澄澈线条的最佳地点。 夜晚的城市也很美丽,它的灯光倒映在河流上。 最壮观的夜景来自周围的山顶。
最后但同样重要的是,你绝对不能错过重庆菜——是的,它很辣,但我保证,在尝试了我们当地的火锅后,你会被钩住的。 还有很多其他的东西要看,我很高兴带你四处看看! 很快在纽约见!
你的, 姜

文体指导 --- 电子邮件
电子邮件(electronic mail,常缩略为e-mail,E-mail或email)属应用文体。它用途广泛,传递快捷,可以一件多发。而且费用十分低廉,特别适合国际间的交流。
【基本框架】
电子邮件一般由以下五部分组成:
(1)收件人地址:在标题栏的“收件人(To)”框中输入收件人的E-mail 地址。
(2)主题:“主题(Subject)”框的内容应简明地概括邮件的内容。
短的可以是一个单词,如greeting;长的可以是一个名词性短语,也可以是完整的句子。
(3)称呼:E-mail一般使用非正式的文体,因此正文前的称呼通常无需使用诸如Dear Mr John之类的表达。在同辈的亲朋好友或同事间可以直呼其名,如:Hi Tom,但对长辈或上级最好使用头衔并使用姓。如Dear Doctor Li。
(4)正文:写E-mail和写英文书信相差不多,但还要注意以下两点:
a: 首先要明确写给谁。不同的收件人,语气不同。写给朋友的可用一些俚语或缩写语言,但正式的邮件就不能用俚语或缩写词语。
b: 写电子邮件要直接,并多用短句使意思清楚。对于根据提示来写的电子邮件,必须将要点写全,并注意语言的运用。
(5)结尾客套话:结尾客套话通常也很简明。常用Thanks,Best,
Cheers, Sincerely yours,Best regards等。
