Section Three Notes (便条) 便条实际上就是简单的书信，其内容要简练扼要，文字要求简明紧凑，准确无误。便条上往往只需用几句(甚至一两句)话，称呼、格式等也可以大大简化，尤其写个人便条时可以不用全名。 一、个人便条 由于便条多半是临时写的，所谈的往往是一两天以内的事，因此日期往往可不写，只写星期几，或星期几上午、下午、晚上，有时只写上钟点。 便条多用于熟悉的朋友或经常见面或同一机构／单位的同事之间，所以写条人的地址、结束语等都可以省略或简化。在熟悉的同事或朋友之间，可只用彼此熟悉的称呼，例如只写上Zhang或Xiao Fan等即可。 Friday afternoon John, Just a line to inform you that I am leaving for Shanghai to attend a meeting tomorrow instead of on Sunday as I told you the other day. Ill write to you soon. Yours, Frank Thursday morning Dear Mr. Craig, Herewith is the composition due on Tuesday. As I have been absent from classes during the past two days on sick leave, I hope you will excuse me for handing it in a few days late, and that the delay will not cause you too much inconvenience.
