范文:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm writing to express my dissatisfaction with the horriblesituation I have been faced with recently.
親愛的先生、女士:
我寫此信是要就我最近所面對的可怕狀況表達我的不滿。
I'm a resident of Rose Park on St. Johnson Street. I had been enjoying my life since I moved here five years ago. However, a nightclub recently opened right across the street from my apartment block has completelychanged everything.
我是圣約翰遜大街玫瑰花園的居民。自我五年前搬到這里,我的生活一直很愉快。然而最近開在我們樓對面街道上的一家夜總會卻改變了一切。
To begin with, the club itself is very unsightly. It has blackened windows with sexually explicit pictures displayed on the outside, which I find extremely offensive. Also, the noise level during the early hours of the morning is so intense that it has really disturbedmy sleep. Consequently, I find that I am unable to concentrate fully on my job, as I am often too tired.
首先,這家夜總會本身就很不堪入目。其窗戶搞得黑乎乎的,外面貼著相當**的畫,這一點令我感到尤其難以忍受。此外,凌晨時刻的噪音太高,嚴重影響了我的睡眠,所造成的結果是由于太過疲倦,我無法全力專注于工作。
I work as a surgeon in the local hospital; therefore, I am sure you can see the gravity of my complaint. Indeed, the consequencesof my making any mistake due to my lack of sleep can be very serious indeed.
我是本地醫(yī)院的外科醫(yī)生,因此,我相信您能夠看到我投訴的嚴重性。事實上,由于我缺乏睡眠而造成任何錯誤的后果將是十分嚴重的。
I understand that, as a member of the local government, you have the power to close the club down. Nevertheless, I know very clearly that people need to make a living and I would not like to be responsible for people losing their jobs. Hence, if you could please ensure that the offensive pictures are removed, and the noise level is kept to a minimumlevel, I would be more than satisfied.
我深知,作為當?shù)卣囊粏T,您有權關閉這家俱樂部。然而,我也很清楚:人們都需要謀生,而我也不愿意對他人失去工作而負任何責任,因此,如果您能確保那些令人難受的畫被撤掉、噪音控制在最低水平,我就將十分滿意了。
I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Kenny Gao
期盼得到您的答復。
您真誠的
Kenny Gao
