【参考范文】

dear jack,

thanks for your congratulation! since you asked for advice on translation, i’d like to offer several conducive proposals as follows.

first of all, while quite a number of students think they’re forced to learn translation——merely for english test, you should learn it for some other purposes like the usefulness other than examination itself. what is more, for purpose of becoming an outstanding translator, it is vital to not only appreciate the beauty and perfection of the language and literature in both english and chinese, but also arouse your great interest in exploring something deeper in this field.

i’m sure you’ll be an excellent translator. looking forward to your reply!

yours,

li ming

亲爱的杰克,

谢谢你的祝贺!既然你要求翻译的建议,我想提供一些有益的建议如下。

首先,尽管相当多的学生认为他们被迫学习翻译——仅仅因为英语

考试

,你应该学习一些其他用途,如考试本身以外的用途。更重要的是,为了成为一个优秀的翻译,不仅是至关重要的欣赏美丽和完美的语言和文学中英文,也引起你的兴趣在这个领域探索更深层次的东西。

我相信你会是一个很好的翻译。期待你的回复!

你的,

李明
