建议 A2–B1 · 中文讲解

01 · 读邮件

事情是这样的

周一你把展会手册设计发给合作方 Casey,请他确认。现在是 10 月 14 日周三,还没回信。周五上午要交印刷文件,你希望周四中午前收到确认。

Alex → Casey

Subject: Following up: brochure approval by Thursday

Hi Casey,

I’m following up on the brochure draft I sent on Monday. Could you let me know whether you approve the layout or would like any changes?

If possible, please send your feedback by noon SGT on Thursday, 15 October, so we can prepare the print files for Friday morning. I’ve attached the draft again for convenience.

If you need more time, please let me know when you expect to respond. We can then check whether the print schedule needs to change.

Thanks for your help, Alex

Casey → Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the reminder. I can review it by Thursday afternoon, but not by noon. Would 3 p.m. SGT still work?

Best, Casey

看中文提示
  • 先说上封邮件的事,再问是否同意版面或需要修改。
  • 说清要留时间准备印刷文件,比只写 URGENT(紧急)清楚。
  • Casey 想到下午 3 点再回。先确认印刷安排是否来得及,再答应。练习不用下载附件。

常用表达

I’m following up on …
我想问下进展……带上具体的事和上次发信时间,别光写 Any updates?。
Could you let me know whether …?
能告诉我是否……吗?问具体问题,对方好直接回答。
… by noon …, so we can …
……中午前,好让我们……by 是最晚什么时候,写明日期、时区和原因。真发了附件才写 I’ve attached。

02 · 做题

选出合适的回应

按邮件事实选答案。有的选项语法没错,但在这里不合适。

  1. 01Alex 最需要 Casey 回复什么?

    看答案与解释

    参考答案:Approval of the layout or requested changes.

    1. A. Approval of the layout or requested changes.

      对。不是光回“收到”,而是定下版面或提出修改。

    2. B. A receipt showing that the email was opened.

      只回复“收到”还不够。你需要知道版面是否通过,才能准备印刷文件。

    3. C. A completely new marketing plan.

      这要得太多了,信里没要这个。

  2. 02为什么希望周四中午前收到回复?

    看答案与解释

    参考答案:So the team can prepare print files for Friday morning.

    1. A. Because Casey has already missed the Friday print deadline.

      今天才周三,周五还没到,没耽搁。

    2. B. So Casey can print the files on Thursday morning.

      Casey 负责确认版面,不负责印刷。周五上午要交印刷文件。

    3. C. So the team can prepare print files for Friday morning.

      对。需要留时间准备印刷文件。

  3. 03对方没回信,怎么催最合适?

    看答案与解释

    参考答案:Could you share your approval or changes by noon SGT on Thursday so we can prepare the print files?

    1. A. Just checking in. Any updates on this?

      这句话没说清要回复什么、何时回复,也没说明印刷的安排。

    2. B. Could you share your approval or changes by noon SGT on Thursday so we can prepare the print files?

      对。要什么、几点前、为什么都写清了,也不怪对方没回。

    3. C. No rush at all. Reply whenever you want.

      没把真正的送印时间说出来,容易耽误事。

  4. 04Casey 提议周四下午 3 点再回,你还不清楚来不来得及。怎么说?

    看答案与解释

    参考答案:Thanks for letting me know. I’ll check the print schedule and confirm whether 3 p.m. works.

    1. A. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll check the print schedule and confirm whether 3 p.m. works.

      对。先确认印刷安排,再答复是否来得及。

    2. B. Great, noon is confirmed.

      对方说的是下午 3 点,没答应中午。

    3. C. The printer will definitely wait.

      还没确认印刷安排,不能直接答应这个时间。

03 · 自己写一遍

写一封英文邮件

你周一给合作方 Morgan 发了演示文稿,今天是 10 月 21 日周三。周五要演示,请他在 10 月 22 日周四上午 11 点(SGT)前确认第 2 页公司介绍是否正确。你会重发附件;如果来不及,请他告诉你预计回复时间。

写作不自动评分,刷新后清空。写完按清单自查。

写完自查
看参考回复

Hi Morgan, I’m following up on the slides I sent on Monday. Could you confirm whether the company overview on slide 2 is accurate by 11 a.m. SGT on Thursday, 22 October? This will help us prepare for Friday’s presentation. I’ve attached the slides again for convenience. If you need more time, please let me know when you expect to respond. Thank you!

不用反复写 kindly、just、sorry。说清事情和原因就好。
