     各位大大:

讀瞭好多英文, 官方的用字遣詞看膩瞭 ... 寫英文信隻能用力擠齣 academic writing? 不知道洋人們的聊天內容的用字深度到哪裏???

沒關係, 這裏有個好教材.

這裏有一封白人同事寫的英文信, 邀請我們大傢下瞭班一起去喝個啤酒.. 如同以往的, 每次看他的信, 都讓我哈哈大笑.... 他算是我們辦公室裏麵最有幽默感的..

各位可以從中體會到幽默, 也知道用字不需賣弄文纔, 就能寫齣一篇讀起來不乾澀的文章..


Hi folks, who's pumped for christmas???

I hear ya.  Me too!  Tossing snowballs at the local kids, sticking carrots in snowman heads, keeping warm by the fire, writing my name in the snow, shaking christmas presents in search of that PS3... how awesome!!!! - if you live at the north pole, that is.

But we don't live at the north pole.  I checked.  And people, for all the joys of christmas, remember it's not without it's dangers that can turn christmas sour in the blink of an eye - leaving you wondering "What just happened... I can't believe this is happening".  And by this, of course, I can only be referring to one thing; the inept social skills that will infest christmas celebrations everywhere resulting in uncomfortable, awkward or downright embarrassing moments around the family BBQ in the coming weeks.  I know you feel it coming on; you fear yourself, what stupid thing you'll say that will send the family into chaos for hours, second guessing every conversation, avoiding eye contact for fear of failure, and eventually spending that christmas lunch withdrawn in the shadows behind the christmas tree... I feel sick already...

But fear not hapless comrades, for I've hatched a cunning plan that will elevate you to 'social superstar' at christmas functions throughout the season!!!!  And you don't even need to send me monthly instalments to get access to it!  You'll be pointing fingers left and right like you've joined the Cinema Star Club in no time!  Yeah baby...

Best of all, the plan is simplicity itself (only augmenting the brilliance of my crafty nature)...  Practice makes perfect!!!  Yep, time to work on your social skills.  So come along next Friday after work for your christmas season rehearsal.  Share a pint with your workmates and work on your social prowess among like-minded colleagues who, with a little practice and some nurturing forgiveness, will help turn each other into get-together guru's before the clock strikes twelve!  Are you buzzin?  I'm buzzin!  And I can feel you buzzin' (finger point, finger point, wink, nod, finger point)... awesome, I'm feelin' better already!

And when the night is done you'll be well prep'd for the holiday season and confidently kickin' goals at all the christmas gatherings!  Thank You Shannon.  Why, you're most welcome!

Further to this, it's also a good opportunity for you to give me my christmas present, so bring it along (to save embarrassment, I recommend you spend towards triple figures on my gift, that's what others are doing and I wouldn't want you to feel awkward).

Look forward to seeing you there people!  Invite anyone you wish.  In fact hop up, hug whoever is closest to you (ah, hugs...), and tell 'em to get their buttocks to the tavern next Friday night!  Last drinks of the year!  :)

Date:   Friday, December 17, 2001

Time:   Some will be there from 4pm...
It will go for however long, it's xmas and magic is in the air!!!
Come and go as you please.

Place:  Dicey Riley's Christmas Workshop

Who:    You, and any others who you think may wish to come.  Partners welcome too.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.  Thanks for an awesome year!  :)


讓你會心一笑吧... 下次寫英文信也可以讓裏麵生動活潑又幽默.
