Chapter 6 介绍新地址

Subject: The New Company Address

Dear Mr. Faulkner,

I acknowledge with thanks receipt of your E-mail of May 15th.

Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for your kind cooperation in our project. The completion of the house building project is due for 9th in the coming month. However, the icy roads are very likely to make the construction work extremely difficult. I think it is best to wait for the abominable icy conditions to pass before we proceed with the project. Consequently, the completion of the project would have to be delayed for a fortnight or so.

Secondly, I'd like to inform you that our company will move into Miller Building on Saturday, since the original lease expires at the end of next week. The new office building is just three blocks away. Please address to us at the new company in the future. I am deeply sorry if the change of our company address might cause you any trouble. Anyway, I hope it will not affect our cooperation.

Please feel free to contact me, if need be.

Regards,

Ethan Watson

主旨：新公司地址

尊敬的福克纳先生：

您于5月15日发来的电子邮件已经收到，十分感谢。

首先，请允许我向贵公司表示诚挚的谢意，感谢贵公司和我们合作这项工程。这项服务建设工程应于下个月9号竣工。不过，结冰的道路很有可能会使得施工变得极为困难。我认为，最好等到恶劣的寒冰天气结束之后，再继续进行这项工程。因此，这项工程的竣工时间可能会延误两周左右。

再则，我想要告知您，我们公司的原有租约于下个周末到期，本周六就会迁往米勒大楼。新的办公楼距此只有3个街区。日后请按照新地址来联系我们公司。如果我们公司地址的变更给您带来了不便之处，我十分抱歉。不论如何，我希望，地址的变更不会影响到我们的合作。

如果需要的话，尽请和我联系。

此致

伊桑·沃森

1. Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for your kind cooperation in our project.

首先，请允许我向贵公司表示诚挚的谢意，感谢贵公司和我们合作这项工程。

★ 解析：

Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for your..．可以视为习惯用法，表示“首先，请允许我向贵公司表示诚挚的谢意，感谢贵公司的……”。句首的副词firstly表示“首先，最初”，可以视为插入语，相当于at first、first of all、firstly、in the first place等。句中的gratitude to sb for..．可以视为固定用法，表示“感谢某人……”，相当于be grateful to sb for...。

★ 套用：

2. I think it is best to wait for the abominable icy conditions to pass before we proceed with the project.

我认为，最好等到恶劣的寒冰天气结束之后，再继续进行这项工程。

★ 解析：

I think it is best to..．可以视为习惯用法，表示“我认为，最好……”。句首的I think表示“我认为”，后接省略了引导词that的宾语从句，相当于I believe；而宾语从句it's best to..．可以视为习惯用法，后接动词原形，表示“最好……”，相当于The best thing to do would be to...。

★ 套用：

I think it is best to confirm their new company address at first.

我认为，最好先确认他们新公司的地址。

I think it is best to ask her about the new company address.

我认为，最好向她询问新公司地址。
