Hey, Faith! How did it go with emailing your cat's doctor?
嘿，费斯！给你猫咪的医生发邮件的事情怎么样了？
Great!
一切进展得很顺利！
That's awesome!
太棒了！
I took your advice and even looked up some more ideas for how I could politely write my request to them.
我接受了你的建议，甚至还研究了一些如何礼貌地在邮件中写清我的请求的方法。
Ahh! Tell me more!
啊！跟我讲一讲！
I researched ways to open and close my email.
我研究了电子邮件开头语和结束语的写法。
I made sure to set a good tone by opening my email with a polite greeting but a little less formal.
我确保以礼貌但不那么正式的问候语开始我的邮件，从而定下一个良好的基调。
Instead of the standard, you know, "Dear so and so..." I simply opened with a polite greeting of "Hello!"
不是用标准的问候语，即“亲爱的某某……”我只是礼貌地问候了一声“你好！”
What else?
还有什么？
I also used a hedging expression.
我还使用了模糊限制语。
Hedging expressions help us to show that we are understanding of the receiver's situation.
模糊限制语帮助我们表明我们理解邮件接收者的情况。
We use these expressions to soften what we want to say.
我们用这种表达方式可以使我们在陈述我们想说的话时语气更温和。
That's right, John!
没错，约翰！
Hedging expressions let the writer of the email say what they want to say politely but in a less direct way.
模糊限制语可以让电子邮件的作者礼貌地说出他们想说的话，但又不那么直接。
So, I hedged my request with, "I know your office is very busy, but..."
所以，我模糊陈述了我的请求，我这样写道：“我知道你很忙，但是……”
The hedging expressions come before the word "but" in the questions.
在疑问句中，模糊限制语出现在“但是”之前。
The request comes after.
请求在“但是”后面。
I showed my appreciation for their efforts and then I closed my email with a polite expression, "All the best!"
我对他们付出的努力表示感谢，然后我礼貌地结束了我的电子邮件，“祝你一切顺利！”
You showed them that you expect an answer! Great job, Faith!
你让他们知道你期待得到答案！干得好，费斯！
Because of your help, John, Sooty Chai Cat received his medication on time.
因为有你的帮助，约翰，黑猫按时拿到了它的药。
Happy to help!
很高兴能帮到你！
