主旨：我回归工作岗位

Dear Emily,

I acknowledge with thanks receipt of your E-mail dated December 21st. I'm writing to inform you of the good news that I have made a good recovery from my recent appendicitis.

You see, I did not quite feel myself when I went to work on December 17th. So I asked for sick leave in the afternoon and then went to hospital. The doctor diagnosed my illness as acute appendicitis and asked me to be hospitalized for the surgery. I called the manager and asked to extend my sick leave later. Then I underwent the surgery according to plan on December, 20th.

Thanks to the nurse's meticulous care, I have almost restored my health. I think I could return to work the day after tomorrow.

Thanks again for your kind consolation.

Yours truly,

Sophia

亲爱的艾米丽：

你于12月21日发来的电子邮件已经收到，十分感谢。我写这封邮件，是要告诉你这个好消息：我的阑尾炎已经痊愈了。

你知道的，12月17日我去上班时，身有不适。因此，下午我请了病假去医院。医生诊断，我是患了急性阑尾炎，要我住院接受手术。稍后我给经理打了电话，请求延长病假时间。12月20日，按照预定安排，我接受了手术。

多亏了护士的精心照料，我已经基本痊愈了。我想，后天我就可以回去上班。

再次感谢你的好心慰问。

真诚的

索菲亚

学以致用

1. You see, I did not quite feel myself when I went to work on December 17th.

你知道的，12月17日我去上班时，身有不适。

★ 解析：

句首的you see可以视为插入语，表示“你知道的”，通常用逗号与主句隔开，相当于as you know、as you are aware。句中的not quite oneself可以视为固定用法，表示“身体不舒服”。

★ 套用：

You see, I asked for a weeks' sick leave.

你知道的，我请了一周的病假。

You see, I went to see a doctor yesterday morning.

你知道的，昨天上午我去看医生了。

You see, I was sent to hospital the other day.

你知道的，前几天我被送到医院去了。

2. Thanks to the nurse's meticulous care, I have almost restored my health.

多亏了护士的精心照料，我已经基本痊愈了。

★ 解析：

Thanks to..., I have almost restored my health．可以视为习惯用法，表示“多亏了……我已经基本痊愈了”。句首的thanks to..．为固定用法，表示“幸亏……多亏……”；句末的restore one's health同样是固定用法，表示“恢复健康，康复，痊愈”，相当于be restored to health。

★ 套用：

Thanks to the effective treatment, I have almost restored my health.

多亏了这种有效疗法，我已经基本痊愈了。

Thanks to the surgery last week, I have almost restored my health.

多亏了上周所做的手术，我已经基本痊愈了。
