2023年3月4日發(fā)(作者：傾聽音樂) 親愛的朋友，還記得我們的約定嗎？我承諾大家會(huì)盡快整理出信件結(jié)尾跟你們分享，今天終于又見面了！真的很開心！中國有句古話，叫“善始善終”，我想我們既然有了漂亮的開頭，當(dāng)然也不能少了一個(gè)畫龍點(diǎn)睛的結(jié)尾呀！所有我整理了一個(gè)美國朋友寫給我的十八封郵件的結(jié)尾(closing statements)跟大家分享，并作了簡(jiǎn)要的分析和評(píng)論，粉紫色字體是值得積累下來的詞匯和句型。真誠地希望大家能從中有所收獲。來源：
1. OK, I’d better quit now
so you don’t have to spend the whole day reading my message。
I look forward to hearing more from you。
Take care。
Ben
我的朋友每次給我寫郵件都是“飛流直下三千尺”，我現(xiàn)在才反應(yīng)過來原來我的閱讀能力就是這樣訓(xùn)練出來的：)不過說實(shí)話，我很喜歡讀朋友寫的東西，他寫的東西確實(shí)挺幽默，我經(jīng)常一個(gè)人坐在電腦前一邊讀郵件一邊哈哈大笑。朋友說so you don’t have to spend the whole day reading my message說明他很“體諒”我，所以才說必須離開了，要不然他一直這么寫下去我這一整天也什么也不用做了，光讀郵件了。其實(shí)我覺得用中文講出來都已經(jīng)沒有原來的味道了，大家最好還是用英文的思維去體會(huì)其中的幽默吧！
2. That’s all I can think of for now. I’ll clo with another email hug. Take good care of yourlf。
Ben
朋友說今天就寫到這兒，怎么結(jié)束呢？當(dāng)然是來一個(gè)email hug hug是擁抱的意思，現(xiàn)在流行email hug 喲。怎么樣，夠形象吧？
3. I really enjoy conversing with you, and it will be fun to talk more often。
Take care, and good luck。
Ben
在結(jié)尾表達(dá)跟我談話很開心，用了enjoy conversing with … conver 這個(gè)詞大家應(yīng)該很眼熟吧，對(duì)啦，它就是conversation的動(dòng)詞，不過我們平時(shí)用得少，看來還是得多學(xué)學(xué)native speaker的地道用詞啊：)
4. I look forward to hearing from you again. Best wishes in your job arch, and best wishes to you and your family。
Warmest regards,
Ben
這是一個(gè)很常規(guī)的結(jié)尾，表達(dá)了良好的祝愿。不過Warmest regards我們?cè)谡n本上好像學(xué)不到喲！一般我們只知道Best wishes 或者是Best regards。
5. I guess I will quit writing now. I look forward to hearing from you again very soon.
Best wishes,
Ben
再一次看到了quit, 應(yīng)該不陌生了。學(xué)會(huì)怎么用了嗎？如果你要結(jié)尾了就可以說quit writing。
6. Plea write again soon.
Best wishes,
Ben
這是最直接的提醒我盡快回信的方式。
7.
I wish you the very best in the coming year. I will talk to you more soon。
Ben
結(jié)尾很自然地傳遞了新年的美好祝福
。
8. I need to get to work, so I’ll write more later. I look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Ben
look forward to doing 這個(gè)短語非常重要，最主要是很實(shí)用，而且很常用。
9. OK, that’s all for now. I’ve got to get some things done before going to work with Santa again today. I’ll talk to you soon.
Ben
在停筆離開前簡(jiǎn)要說明原由，這樣不會(huì)覺得結(jié)束得太唐突。嗯，這一招是可以學(xué)一學(xué)的！考試大－全國最大教育類網(wǎng)站(www．Examda。com)
10.I guess that’s all for now. I hope you will write again soon. Hearing from you is always a highlight of my day。
Take care!
Ben
用一個(gè)I guess顯得很自然。還記得highlight 這個(gè)詞嗎？我們?cè)谛偶_頭中見到過，意思是“最精彩的部分”，如果你也這樣寫給你的朋友，告訴他/她收到他的來信是你一天中最精彩的、最重要的事，那么，你的朋友一定會(huì)非常的開心！試試吧：)
11. Do you get just as much or more celebrating at the beginning of the Chine New Year? Anyway, best wishes and good health to you for the New Year。
I better get to work now. I’ll talk to you again soon。
Take good care of yourlf.
Ben
在結(jié)尾時(shí)，提出一個(gè)問題作為下次聊天的話題，同時(shí)也很自然地傳遞了祝福。
12. If you want to talk more about this controversy, let me know。
I look forward to hearing from you again. Take care。
Ben
用If you want to talk more about…let me know。告訴我如果我還想繼續(xù)討論上一次的話題盡管提出來，因?yàn)槟骋粋€(gè)話題可能一次是不夠講的。
13. OK, it’s kind of late, so I’ll quit for now. I have to go to bed to ensure enough sleep。
I hope to hear from you agan soon.
Take care。
Ben
OK, it’s kind of late。我覺得這種結(jié)尾方式最簡(jiǎn)便了，無需更多語言，因?yàn)槌渥愕乃弋?dāng)然是非常重要的。Kind of 的意思是“有一點(diǎn)“
14. Well, it’s now 1:30 a.m. here, so that means it’s 4:30 p.m. in Beijing. I need to go to bed so I will be rested for another day。
Take care! Ben
用相隔遙遠(yuǎn)的兩個(gè)地方的時(shí)間這么一對(duì)比，覺得挺有意思的，反正我自己是很少算得這么準(zhǔn)的，只知道我們這兒是白天，美國就是晚上了：)
15. Let me know if you have more questions for better understanding of our humor. I can help you with your training, particularly with the humor. That is something I’m good at。
Take care.
Ben
我的朋友經(jīng)常都會(huì)很客氣地用Let me know if you…這樣的方式問我是否需要更多的幫助等。我當(dāng)然是抓住一切機(jī)會(huì)多提問啦！因?yàn)閱柕迷蕉啵瑥乃莾毫私獾降臇|西就越多啦。
16. OK, that’s it for the moment. I’ll be looking for a message f
rom you tonight, I hope。
Take care!
Ben
朋友沒有直接說I hope you can write to me tonight, 而是很委婉地說I’ll be looking for a message from you…，這種間接的提出希望和要求的表達(dá)方式很新穎喲，還有點(diǎn)不露痕跡的意思！用一下試試看：)
17. Well, since I don’t have much to respond to this time, and since I have to get up early in the morning, I’ll quit for now. I hope you had a good time with your friend.
Talk to you soon.
Ben
這里用兩個(gè)since (表原因)來給這封郵件畫上句號(hào)，很自然也很貼切。
18. OK, that’s all for now. I need to get a little sleep before I go to the airport. Talk to you soon。
Ben!
這里get a little sleep 用得很好，把sleep 當(dāng)名詞用，而且搭配動(dòng)詞get, 可以豐富我們過去單一的表達(dá)，如：I need to sleep for a while. 對(duì)比一下，哪一個(gè)更生動(dòng)一些呢：)
