【內容提示】
假定你名叫李玉明，要向英語老師江河借一本《英語應用文手冊》看兩天。但是，你去時他不在家。你給他留了一張便條，內容是：
①因為一位鄰居想出國深造，請你給他寫一封詢問信，你想借書參考一下。
②勞駕江老師在明天上課時把書帶到教室。
③留便條的時間是12月10日下午4點。

A Note Left for Borrowing a Book
4:00 p. m., December 10
Dear Mr. Jiang,
May I borrow your A Handbook of Practical English Writing for one day or two? I want to use it as a reference book to write a letter of enquiry for one of my neighbours who is going to further his studies abroad but does not know how to write such a letter. If you can spare me it, please bring it to me tomorrow when you come to the classroom. Many thanks.
Yours ever,
Li Yuming
【詞語解釋】
enquiry [in'kwai+ri]n．詢問；打聽
【寫法指要】
借物留言條（message note for borrowing something）的目的是向別人借東西，所以要寫得客氣些，如一開始用“May I borrow…?”或“Will you please lend me…?”這類句型；結尾用“Thank you”，“Many thanks”等禮貌說法。
