范文
Dear Prof. Wang,
I write this note to express my great apology to your as I failed to turn up for the appointment with you yesterday afternoon. To be frank, I did remember to meet you at your office when my father suddenly had a stomachache and I had to send him to a nearby hospital. Then I gave you a phone to call off the meeting but the line was busy. I intend to arrange another appointment if it takes no further trouble for you. I am wondering if it is convenient for us to meet next Monday morning. I am expecting an early reply from you.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
译文
星期四下午我失约了。我写这封信的目的是为了表达我的歉意。我没有忘记,但是当时我父亲突然腹痛,我只能送他去医院。给您打电话,您的电话又占线。如果您方便我想下周一早上再与您见面。敬请回复。
思路启迪
凡是细心比较一下中文和英文篇章结构的人,不难发现,英文中心主旨表达的开门见山。书信或便条的写作也应该注意这一点。篇章开头直接表明书信的目的、作者的态度和观点、篇章的主题。写好主题句不仅要表达作者的态度,还需根据内容和字数等要求,对题目的范围进行控制和确定。
就主题句而言,一方面它应该具有概括性,这样才能达到主题句应该具有的功能;另一方面要有具体的、标明主题导向的关键词语,这样下面的发展句才能顺利的展开。本单元的主题句开门见山的表明了写作的目的是为了表达歉意,点出了约会这一主题。
此外,主题句要显得自然,在篇章中起到背景引导的作用。建议读者认真研读和分析本书中各篇应用文首句的构思,并加以效仿。
