问题     Suppose you are Li Ming. One week ago, I borrowed a book from your teacher Mr. Smith, which is very important to him. But to your disappointment, you lost the book. Now you want to write a letter of apology to him. Your letter should include the following points:
    1) a sincere apology
    2) an explanation for the trouble
    3) an offer to replace the book
    You should write about 100 words, do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use "Li Ming" instead. You do not need to write the address.

选项

答案Dear Mr. Smith, I am terribly sorry to tell you that I have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me seven days ago. I have been reading it, and intended to finish it next week. 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 that 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, Li Ming

解析     这篇写作要求我们写的是生活中经常用到的道歉信。在社会交往中,人们常常会出现一些疏忽、过失等,给别人带来了麻烦或损失。为了避免误解,不影响感情,在这种情况下,应写信给对方予以解释,以请求谅解。因此,道歉信是写信人对未尽之事向收信人表示歉意。语言要诚挚,解释的理由要真实,不要显出丝毫虚情假意,从而使收信人理解,消除误会并最终达到谅解。当你遗失了他人物品,损毁了公共财产或做了其它不应该做的事情,你都要对你的行为表示歉意。
    本题目属于上述第一种情况,写信人不小心丢失了别人借给他的书。写这封信时只要包含题目中提到的三点"道歉,解释原因和提出补偿方式"就基本完成信的内容。但提及并不等于简单地引述题目中这三点,应该通过语言很好地表示你对这件事情的遗憾和歉意。解释原因时,要突出当时你的疏忽,而并非有意为之。最后要给出积极合理的补偿方式,表示你的诚意,并可适当承诺下次一定竭力避免同样事情的发生。落款部分切记要符合题目要求使用"Li Ming"来代替,不能使用你的真名。这点我们这次强调之后将在以后的解题中不再提醒,希望引起大家足够的注意。
