(版主解說)

◎ 本篇用了許多常見的介系詞，請網友多留心其使用方法。不難，用過一兩次就會。
prior to = before sth happens
via = by = through (藉由 /藉著 / 通過)

◎ no later than … = 不晚於

◎ replay = 重播

◎ access = 神奇的單字又來了，相關的英文解說細解請參考：『英文單字 “Access” 該如何使用?』。

◎ at the scheduled time = 在預定的時間 (很實用的用法，版主不知道為何很多人連這種英文都寫不好！)
注意：schedule 要用被動語態 (scheduled) 來修飾 ‘time’ (被預訂的時間)。
很多人會寫成 “at the schedule time / at schedule time / in schedule time ” 這些都是錯誤的。

◎ Please remeber that this event is company confidential. Outside parties are strictly prohibitied.
表示這次會議是公司機密，不允許外人 / 第三者 (outside parties) 參與

類似的用法有：
This newsletter is for employees only. Dissemination is strictly prohibited. 

 

♣  第二篇 ♣ (公司週年慶酒會邀請信函)
本篇取自「經典傳訊」出版的 《Mail 英文高手》第 136 頁，作者為染谷泰正。

Dear Mr. Ken,

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Taiwan Motors, Inc., we are holding a dinner party at the New Prince Hotel in Taipei from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. on Friday, April 1.

You are cordially invited to the party so that we can express our sincere appreciation to you for the generous support you have extended to us for many years. For your information, the party will be attended by many top executives of leading Taiwanese and Japanese automakers, and we believe that this will offer many of us an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with each other.

We do hope that you will be able to join us in this occasion, and look forward to seeing you at the party.

Sincerely yours,

Taiwan Motors, Inc.

R.S.V.P. by e-mail at admin@taiwanmtr.com.tw：

(版主解說)

◎ celebrate = 慶祝
不要將 “celebrate” 與 “commemorate” (紀念) 這兩個單字搞混。
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Nanking Massacre.
(紀念南京大屠殺五十週年)

◎ be holding a dinner part = 即將舉辦晚宴
現在進行式表示近期內即將發生的行為或事件

◎ the generous support you have extended to us for many years = 您多年來給予我們的支持
記得動詞用 “extend”，這是詞語搭配的問題，當然也可以用 “given”，只是不夠文雅。 

◎ get acquainted with = 認識某人

◎ each other = 彼此 (兩人)
三人以上應該用 “one another”，但是如今已經不這麼講究。

◎R.S.V.P. (法文 Répondez s’il vous plaît) = please respond / reply, if you please 請回覆
通常附註於邀請函末尾
