①因为一位邻居想出国深造，请你给他写一封询问信，你想借书参考一下。
②劳驾江老师在明天上课时把书带到教室。
③留便条的时间是12月10日下午4点。

A Note Left for Borrowing a Book
4:00 p. m., December 10
Dear Mr. Jiang,
May I borrow your A Handbook of Practical English Writing for one day or two? I want to use it as a reference book to write a letter of enquiry for one of my neighbours who is going to further his studies abroad but does not know how to write such a letter. If you can spare me it, please bring it to me tomorrow when you come to the classroom. Many thanks.
Yours ever,
Li Yuming
【词语解释】
enquiry [in＇kwai+ri]n．询问；打听
【写法指要】
借物留言条（message note for borrowing something）的目的是向别人借东西，所以要写得客气些，如一开始用“May I borrow…?”或“Will you please lend me…?”这类句型；结尾用“Thank you”，“Many thanks”等礼貌说法。 |
