周一翻译分析

1.《诗经》是我国第一部诗歌总集，收录了自西周至春秋时期描述百姓日常生活的诗歌。

翻译：The Classic of Poetry, also named Shi Jing or Books of Songs, is the first anthology of poetry in Chinese history. This collection of poems gives an account of common people's everyday life during the period from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period.

分析：

（1）“, also named Shi Jing or Books of Songs,”两个逗号间的是插入语，补充《诗经》的其它讲法；

（2）百姓日常生活，也就是每天的生活，common people's everyday life；

（3）“自西周至春秋时期”可翻译为from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period。

2.根据不同的韵律，《诗经》中的诗歌分为《风》《雅》《颂》三个部分。

第四周周日的道歉信参考范文

A letter of complaint

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to complain about the refrigerator I bought from your store last week. There is something wrong with it and there is nothing I can do about it.

It operated well for the first few days until the freezer compartment stopped freezing somehow. Shortly after this happened I smell burning and switched off the fridge. It appears the compressor has now burnt out and the fridge is useless. It certainly did give me a surprise!

As the refrigerator is under warrantee, I am requesting an urgent replacement and would appreciate you arranging this as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

备注：书面语需正式，尽可能少用缩写。

例如：

there's最好还原为there is；

Can't 一定还原为cannot，注意不要分开写。

投诉信

尊敬的先生/女士：

我写信反映冰箱的问题，上周我在贵商场买了一台冰箱，后来发现有问题，对此我也无能为力。

开始几天冰箱运行一切正常，但过了几天，不知怎么搞的冷藏室便不制冷了，而且马上我就闻到烧焦的糊味，于是马上拔下了电源。现在看来是压缩机烧了，冰箱报废了。这确实使我感到意外！

因为冰箱现在还在保修期之内，我想请求更换一台，如果您能尽快妥善解决，我将不胜感激。感谢您抽时间读我的来信。

您真诚的
