Thank you for your congratulations. I am very glad to have received your e-mail. Now I am writing to extend my suggestions on how to learn English well and how to translate English better.

You should enhance your vocabulary, and you"ll find that it is an extremely enjoyable experience you" ll treasure. What"s more, try to practice as much as you can.The practice of a great number of samples helps you understand translation theory, particularly for good translation, namely, "faithfulness"""expressiveness"and "elegance".

I hope these suggestions will be of use to you. Remember: "where there is a will, there is a way. " The man who has made up his mind to win will never say "impossible".

Yours sincerely,

亲爱的杰克：

谢谢你的祝贺。非常高兴收到你的电子邮件。我给你写这封信的目的是给你提一些如何学习英语以及如何更好地翻译英语的建议。

首先，上课要认真听讲并做笔记，这样你才能掌握翻译的基本技巧。你应该增加你的词汇量，这会是一段非常愉快的经历并且你会珍惜这个过程。另外，请尽可能多地进行实践翻译。大量地练习能够帮助你理解翻译理论，尤其是形成良好的翻译观，即“信"“达”“雅”的标准。

我希望这些建议对你有用。记住：“有志者，事竟成。”真正立志成功的人永远不会说“不可能”。

你真诚地，

李明
