E-Mail英語表達秘訣
- 重視看信人的感受, 以YOU為開頭。 用 Your forecast will be appreciated to handle the prompt
shipment .避免用 We will be very appreciated if you can place a forecast.
- 活用句型, 避免因太長被刪除 。 Hoping to get your prompt reply soon. 就比 We hope that we
can get your prompt reply soon. 簡潔有力。
- 主動句型,有說服力。We will issue a credit note to you. 就比 A credit note will be issued
to you. 更生動有說服力。
| 【 文法時間】
- 代表五百的 hundred 不可在其後加 s, 需在單位 "mile"後加。 如 500 元會說成
" five hundred dollars"
又片語 "數百" 寫成 hundreds of , 如 hundreds of people"
- 教唱這首歌, 一定要說到條件句; 說話者認為可能成為事實
用下列句型
HA HA, 不用背句型 。把 歌詞第一句 記下來即可。
If you miss the train I am on,
you will know that I am gone .
If 子句內之動詞用現在式; 下一句用助動詞 + 原型動詞

a way. This a way, this a way, this

Danny Boy
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must
bye
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white
with snow
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you
so
But if he come and all the roses dying And I am dead, as dead I well may be He'll
come here and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an ava there for
me
And I shall feel, oh soft you tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me |
【 Wendy 講古 】
"Danny Boy" 號稱愛爾蘭民謠, 其背後,有一段說來充滿歷史恩怨情仇的由來。
英國人長年與愛爾蘭爭戰, 拓展殖民地 。愛爾蘭成年之男子皆需上戰場,保衛家園 。百年爭戰, 愛爾蘭之男子多戰死沙場 , 卻頑固執著地死守家園。Danny
Boy 藉歌聲述說戰時青年對生命的熱愛不捨與對未知命運的無奈,令人動容。
英國於1949年正式承認愛爾蘭為主權獨立國家,但卻不放棄對其北方六郡(北愛爾蘭)之主權,北愛爾蘭長期紛擾動盪乃由此而來。
在好萊塢動作電影中,北愛共和軍經常千篇一律扮演偏激瘋狂的壞蛋角色,最近幾年來編劇家逐漸改以時代悲劇的眼光看待北愛共和軍,摻入了幾分同情。哈理遜福特與布萊德彼特主演的
The Devil's Own 中,布萊德飾演的北愛共和軍角色即為一例。
若你看【愛爾蘭地圖】,在愛爾蘭地圖北端,北愛像一只袋子,被大英帝國緊緊拎住不放。
