新概念英语第二册(50)下

【letter writing】

给朋友写信要称呼他们的名字，如“亲爱的弗雷德”，决不要以“亲爱的朋友”类的词语开头。

给亲戚写信，则可以这样开头：亲爱的妈妈、亲爱的爸爸、亲爱的弗雷德叔叔、亲爱的艾丽丝姨妈，

但决不可称“亲爱的表兄”，或“亲爱的弗雷德表兄”。

给长辈写信，长辈中的直系亲属不加名字，只加称谓；长辈中的旁系亲属既要加称谓，又要加名字。  给平辈的亲属写信，直接称呼名字，不加称谓。

【Summry writing】

1 Where did the writer want to go? Did he know the way or not? What did the conductor promise to do? (but as)

“but as” 并不是并列短语, 两者连在一起仅仅是巧合

The writer wanted to go to Woodfast Green but as he did not know the way, the conductor promised to tell him where to get off.

第一句和第二句之间是 “but” 关系, 第二句和第三句之间为 “as” 关系, 所以产生 “but as”
