| “欲寄彩笺兼尺素，山长水阔知何处。”这是著名词人晏殊《蝶恋花》中的词句，原文表达的是恋人之间的离恨相思之苦，作者寄情于信，感人至深。古人没有现代发达的通讯工具，因此相隔两地只能通过书信的方式来表达情感。当然不仅限于前文的爱情，亲情、友情也都有。所以不难理解“书信”在古时有众多的“变体”，如“彩笺”、“尺素”、“鸿雁”等等。 如今科技发达，我们可以借助电子邮件，方便快捷，不会有古人寄一封信要等上十天半月的烦恼。再加上现代生活节奏很快，工作压力巨大，很多人会在不经意间冷落了亲朋好友。其实，在繁忙的工作中抽出一点时间写一封简单的问候信，是不难做到的。John就给自己的朋友Jack写了一封。信中主要是说自己要出差，想顺便与Jack见个面小聚一下。之后Jack回信询问了John所住的宾馆和电话，还顺便说了自己的近况，主要是健康状况。作为朋友，John再次回信进行安慰。这类信件的写法是非常随意的，就像聊天一样，朋友之间的信件往往是很容易写出真情实感的。 Hi Jack, I will be in the Bay area1) on April 28 (Saturday) and 29 (Sunday) and possibly part of 30 (Monday) before I head2) north to Sacramento3) for a business presentation on Tuesday.
