Dear Paul,

I really can’t thank you very much for your invitation.

I do want to accept them and take this opportunity to introduce traditional Chinese paintings to foreign friends, but I’m sorry to inform you that I can’t. The reason is because I am busy preparing myself for the coming College Entrance Examination. As for the introduction speech, I strongly recommend my friend Anna, that is the most suitable choice to take my place on next Sunday. She begun to learn paintings at an early age and has good knowledge of traditional Chinese paintings. However, her active personality and perfect spoken English will help making your activity a success.

Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence and all the best wish to you.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

Answer 1

【答案】1.very→too 2.them→it 3.because→that 4.that→who 5.刪掉 on 6.begun→began 7.good 前加a 8.However→Besides/Moreover/Additionally 9.making→make 10.wish→wishes

【解析】1. can’t…too…是英語中一個十分有用的表達，意為“不可能太……，無論怎樣……也不算過分，越……越……”。句意：我真的太感謝您的邀請了。故把very改為too。

2. 根據(jù)前面的your invitation.是單數(shù)形式，用it代替，故them改為it 。

3. reason作主語，后面的表語從句用that引導，故把because改為that。

4. that不能引導非限制性定語從句，因為Ann是先行詞，指人，故把that改為who。

5. next本身含有“在……”的意思，故把next前的on去掉。

6. 此處用一般過去時態(tài)，begun 是過去分詞，故把begun改為began。

7.此處是抽象名詞具體化，固定搭配：have a good knowledge of精通---，故在good 前加a 。

8.句意：另外，她積極的個性和完美的口語將幫助你的活動成功。此處表示遞進關(guān)系，不是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故把However改為Besides/Moreover/Additionally。

9.help (to) do sth.“幫助做某事”，故把making改為make。

10.句意：對你最美好的祝愿。wish作名詞表示“祝福”通常用復數(shù)，故把wish改為wishes。
