主旨：我回歸工作崗位

Dear Emily,

I acknowledge with thanks receipt of your E-mail dated December 21st. I'm writing to inform you of the good news that I have made a good recovery from my recent appendicitis.

You see, I did not quite feel myself when I went to work on December 17th. So I asked for sick leave in the afternoon and then went to hospital. The doctor diagnosed my illness as acute appendicitis and asked me to be hospitalized for the surgery. I called the manager and asked to extend my sick leave later. Then I underwent the surgery according to plan on December, 20th.

Thanks to the nurse's meticulous care, I have almost restored my health. I think I could return to work the day after tomorrow.

Thanks again for your kind consolation.

Yours truly,

Sophia

親愛的艾米麗：

你于12月21日發(fā)來的電子郵件已經收到，十分感謝。我寫這封郵件，是要告訴你這個好消息：我的闌尾炎已經痊愈了。

你知道的，12月17日我去上班時，身有不適。因此，下午我請了病假去醫(yī)院。醫(yī)生診斷，我是患了急性闌尾炎，要我住院接受手術。稍后我給經理打了電話，請求延長病假時間。12月20日，按照預定安排，我接受了手術。

多虧了護士的精心照料，我已經基本痊愈了。我想，后天我就可以回去上班。

再次感謝你的好心慰問。

真誠的

索菲亞

學以致用

1. You see, I did not quite feel myself when I went to work on December 17th.

你知道的，12月17日我去上班時，身有不適。

★ 解析：

句首的you see可以視為插入語，表示“你知道的”，通常用逗號與主句隔開，相當于as you know、as you are aware。句中的not quite oneself可以視為固定用法，表示“身體不舒服”。

★ 套用：

You see, I asked for a weeks' sick leave.

你知道的，我請了一周的病假。

You see, I went to see a doctor yesterday morning.

你知道的，昨天上午我去看醫(yī)生了。

You see, I was sent to hospital the other day.

你知道的，前幾天我被送到醫(yī)院去了。

2. Thanks to the nurse's meticulous care, I have almost restored my health.

多虧了護士的精心照料，我已經基本痊愈了。

★ 解析：

Thanks to..., I have almost restored my health．可以視為習慣用法，表示“多虧了……我已經基本痊愈了”。句首的thanks to..．為固定用法，表示“幸虧……多虧……”；句末的restore one's health同樣是固定用法，表示“恢復健康，康復，痊愈”，相當于be restored to health。

★ 套用：

Thanks to the effective treatment, I have almost restored my health.

多虧了這種有效療法，我已經基本痊愈了。

Thanks to the surgery last week, I have almost restored my health.
