1. 歡迎來訪

Dear ○○○,

It was a pleasure to receive your letter dated MM/DD, and to learn that you are making plans for Mr. Brown of your company to visit our company next month. We shall be very happy to welcome him and to do our best to make his visit both enjoyable and successful.

We gather that this will be Mr. Brown's first visit to Shanghai, in which case he will, no doubt, wish to see some of our major places of interest. We can discuss a suitable program when he arrives. If he so wishes we can also introduce him to several firms with whom you may like to do business.

When the date of Mr. Brown's visit is fixed, please let us know the time of his arrival here by fax so that we can arrange to pick him up at the airport. You may be sure he will have a warm welcome.

Yours faithfully,

親愛的○○○：

我們很高興收到您某月某日的來信，並得知你計畫派貴公司的某人下月來訪。我們真誠歡迎他的到來，並會盡全力使他的這次訪問既愉快又成功。

我們猜想這是某人第一次到某地。在這種情況下，毫無疑問，他會想看看本地主要的名勝古跡。他抵達後我們可以和他討論一個適當的計畫。如果他希望，我們也可以介紹一些廠商他認識，你們也許想要跟他們做生意。

某人的來訪日期一旦確定，請傳真告知我們他抵達的時間。我們會安排去機場接他。你們可以確信他將受到熱烈的歡迎。

2. 稱讚同事

Dear ○○○,

How is everything going recently? We are welcoming the first snow of this year here. Is it cold in {Somewhere}?

I have received your sales reports for the last season and happy to see that you succeeded in doubling your sales in the past three months. I believe this success is, to a large degree, due to your good leadership, your wisdom and your persistence. I have been always confident in your ability, and I know I made a good decision to appoint you as the regional manager in{Somewhere}.

I remember you have served this company for more than 5 years, and made great contributions to its development. I thank you for your loyalty and commitment on behalf of the board. You can rest assured that you will get your rewards very soon.

Congratulations and thanks.

Yours sincerely,

XXX

 

親愛的○○○：

近來一切是否安好？我們這裏就要迎來本地的第一場雪了。某地的天氣冷嗎？

我收到了你上季度的銷售報表，很高興地發現你們在過去的三個月裏成功地將銷售業績翻了一倍。我相信這一成就在很大程度上應該歸功於你優秀的領導才能、智慧及毅力。我一直對你的能力非常有信心，我知道當初任命你為某地大區經理的決定是正確的。

我記得你已經來本公司服務5年了，對公司的發展作出了重要貢獻。我謹代表董事會向你的忠誠和奉獻精神表示感謝。你可相信不久之後就會得到報償。

祝賀你，並向你表示感謝。

XXX 謹啟

 

Dear XXX,

I have received your letter and I am flattered by your praising.

The success should ascribe to my team, in which every one of them has been working very hard. Without their intelligence, their creativity and their sacrifices, we will never achieve so far. Anyhow, we will take your compliments as an encouragement and move towards higher goals.

By the way, it is snowing outside, which reminds me of the happy time I spent with you and other colleagues last winter in New York.

With best regards.

Yours faithfully,

○○○

 

回覆1

親愛的XXX，

我收到了你的來信。你的稱讚令我惶恐。

這次的成功應當歸功於我的團隊。他們中的每一個人一直以來工作都非常賣力。沒有他們的智慧，創造力和犧牲精神，要取得那樣的成就是不可能的。不管怎樣，我們會將你的誇獎當做是一種鼓勵，我們一定會向更高的目標挺進。

另外，外面正在下雪。這讓我想起了去年冬天在紐約與你和其他同事一起度過的快樂時光。

祝安好！

○○○ 敬上

 

回覆2

Dear XXX,

Thank you for your compliments. I was very flattered that you spoke so highly of me.

You are right that I have worked in this company for five years. Working here is a precious experience in my life. I learned a lot from you and other colleagues. I can still remember what a green hand I was in the first days. It is you that have helped me to grow into a professional in this field. I will work harder to live up to your trust.

With best regards.

Yours faithfully,

○○○

親愛的XXX：

感謝你的讚揚，你給我的評價如此之高，真令我惶恐。

你說對了，我到公司工作有五年了。這是我人生中一段寶貴的經歷。我從你和其他同事那裏學到了很多東西。我還記得最初的時候，我是多麼的青澀，是你們幫助了我，讓我成長為這個領域裏的專業人士。我會更加努力工作，不辜負你們的信任。

祝安好！

○○○ 敬上

Dear Mr. XXX,

Thank you for your kindness to invite me to your company in the next month. It is an amazing idea to visit {Somewhere} in such a nice season, but I regret very much that I am unable to accept your invitation.
