✔ 最佳答案
Re : Request for Extension of Shipment for PO # ???? (or style 3330) Please kindly note that we need to extend the shipdate for PO #??? to October 30 due to the problems in the raw materials.
The bulk yarn of style 3330 arrived in our factory but we found that there is color difference of the bulk fabric (yarn???) in the same lot. Our factory is now working in full capacity to sort out the different color bulk yarn and re-order the correct one.
Noting the processing and re-order time, we found that we cannot meet the original shipdate. Therefore we would like to request for an extension of shipdate for this order to October 30.
Please kindly understand our situation and accept the revised shipdate.
Best Regards

Please do not waste your time anymore in this question. When a dog bites you, you do not bite it back. You use a stick to punish it ! If the dog just barks, then let it bark ! We are not animal, so we cannot really communicate with the dog !

Dear Garlic,
I have looked up in the Longman Contemporary English Dictionary, for the word surprise it does have entries of both surprise (v) and surprised (adj) , but surprised (adj) was highlighted in red (which means common usage in this dictionary).
2008-10-24 15:51:50 補充：
Therefore, I believe the original inquiry that Ken has raised has solid ground. As a matter of fact the dictionary also have similar usage of “it surprises someone”, but the sentence structure is very different --- it has “to know / to see” to link up with the clause afterwards.
2008-10-24 15:52:09 補充：
In the dictionary we can also see the example of simple present tense “it+surprise”, but they are used in question instead of a statement (Does it surprise you?).
2008-10-24 15:54:20 補充：
To sum up, Ken’s inquiry on whether “it surprises me a lot” was an appropriate question and his argument on “it + surprises” is not commonly used by English speaking people which is kind of herky-jerky, sounds to me a reasonable speculation.

It surprises me a lot 是對的。(不是做 final conclusion，只是據我的英文知識說)
garbage 是一個去得很盡的形容詞，無論那種metaphor都絶對不只是 boring，而是有一文不值的意思。你可以說一篇 boring 的文章是 garbage，分別是前者是感覺，後者是評價。
Celiachau 希望你不是英文老師吧，否則你的學生就慘了，不知每天要給你鬧幾多次garbage。

However, I think it will sound better if the clause "Your kind consideration will highly be appreciated" is changed into "..... will be greatly appreciated". Do you think so? ^-^
2008-10-18 00:58:56 補充：
There is a slight difference between 'highly' and 'greatly' regarding the application of these words. In most cases, 'highly' means '高度地' while 'greatly' can be interpreted as '非常地' (very similar to 'very much' / 'a lot').
2008-10-18 01:09:37 補充：
e.g. highly confidential (but not 'greatly' confidential); greatly upset (but not 'highly' upset); So I think the meaning that you are trying to express is no different from 'we thank you for your kind consideration VERY MUCH'.
2008-10-18 01:10:01 補充：
That is why I think 'greatly' is more appropriate in here.

For the sake of safeguarding all respondents' benefits, including those who are in dispute with me, I wish to state only 2 points and will respond to the following comments NO MORE.

Hence, I beg for the questioner's patience and understanding! To be concise, all irrational comments previously set forth will be ignored.

First, you guys talk about respect, so HAVE YOU PAID ANY RESPECT TO THE QUESTIONER by taking up 13 - 14 boxes to complain about my style / attitude? Is THE PURPOSE OF YOUR COMPLAINT RELEVANT TO THE QUESTION ASKED?
2008-10-19 04:43:42 補充：
Although I did some criticism and comparison while stating my personal views, I was responding to the writing skills which had been applied in both sample letters. Whether you think my opinion is useful or not, it shows that I WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ASKER'S CONCERN AS A WHOLE.

So what about you people? Do you think the issue raised here is about ethics? Has anyone demanded ethical teaching in the first place? Well, at least I have not.
2008-10-19 04:47:16 補充：
More importantly, EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHTS TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS FREELY, especially this place is for OPEN DISCUSSION! Why couldn't I make any judgment? Why couldn't I show my favour? Why couldn't I state my comment which I believe is TRUE?

Who took away those rights from me? HAVE I VIOLATED ANY OF THE YAHOO'S RULES? If so, please go to Yahoo straight away and let Yahoo make the conclusion.
2008-10-19 04:54:54 補充：
Let me remind you, whatever you are now asking me to follow shows YOU HAVE OVERRIDEN YAHOO'S POWER TO RESTRICT WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO. To simplify, I only follow Yahoo's rules but not yours! I'M ALWAYS FREE TO CHOOSE WHO TO RESPECT!

牛皮燈籠點極都唔明! Oxford Dictionary裡對[Surprise]作為verb有以下的定義及提供用現在式的實例: [Tn] cause (sb) to feel surprised (使某人吃驚): She’s over 80? You SURPRISE me! 套用閣下的字眼去解說, 即[surprise]於無論何時想起/認為都有相同的感覺 (過去/現在/將來); 這個想法/意見/信念是有常規的事實-Regular/general fact
2008-10-23 01:20:24 補充：
(quoted from Cambridge grammar book), 所以絕對能用現在式! Thus, ‘The sun rises in the east’ & ‘I’m a woman’ 等都是指regular fact, 難道用[我總是女人/時常是女人]的角度來理解此句? Too absurd! 至於‘I was born in 1988’ 不是regular fact (因只涉及過去), so一定是用過去式. 這例子根本不appropriate, 連什麼才是relevant example都不會分,
2008-10-23 01:21:34 補充：
學多幾年文法再說吧! 至於現在式用來加強[真的]這種語氣的用法不想多作解釋, it’s a waste of my time! 總之要拗數的話跟Oxford Dict.的作者們去拗!
我只說過Yahoo. dict.裡有類似我想說的意思(..similar meaning is provided..), 以証明‘garbage’不只means‘垃圾’, 最近興玩斷章取義嗎? 至於任何字典提供的定義
首先是針對字的本體意思去解釋 (explain the literal meaning);
2008-10-23 01:22:12 補充：
有需要的話才會提供部分大路的暗喻意思. Like Chinese, ‘Metaphor’隱喻(一種修辭法)的運用會隨著每個作者的風格和理解而會被演繹得不同, 不能被 standardized; 你查不到‘garbage’可比喻作‘boring/monotonous work’ 有何出奇? 字典沒提及=不能用嗎? 怎可能有本字典把全世界所有好的 writers寫過的暗喻全都放進去?
2008-10-23 01:23:38 補充：
You may disagree about my view, but you can’t say/ suggest it’s a mistake unless the dictionary or other reliable sources PROVE so. 從以上2點看來, 你對英文理解和運用都太rigid了, 而且為爭辯而爭辯, 眼光不客觀, 不會再回應你的任何論點!

To baggio4182007: 要是閣下把本人的批評視作狗咬的話, 那一定是咬中要害了, 否則何須動用棍子來對付? Feeling threatened而心虛嗎? 你叫各網友用棍子來對付一條狗, 這行為跟street dog發動群攻有何分別? 而且是anti-animal rights, 如此uncivilized & petty-minded, 怎寫得出文明而profound 的文章? 你是在証明自己的作品是‘garbage’嗎?

根據Ken查出來的定義: garbage = nonsense & worthless ideas 呢! 嗱, Ken哥教我的呀! 而且這次我用得很politely & respectfully 呢, 要對付就對付Ken哥呀! 不過我想你說得對, 我們是不能溝通的, 因你說你連動物都不是, 那你是什麼? YOU ARE NOTHING???!!

It surprises me a lot. (unlike the other one - monotonous and boring - I think he / she has produced something similar for BILLION TIMES already. Isn't he / she sick of doing the same thing over & over again? To be honest, I want to yawn whenever I come across his / her work.)

I believe 'Practice Makes Perfect'. So keep on striking for your best and don't be upset by garbage :P

However, I think it will sound better if the clause "Your kind consideration will highly be appreciated" is changed into "..... will be greatly appreciated". Do you think so? ^-^
2008-10-18 00:58:56 補充：
There is a slight difference between 'highly' and 'greatly' regarding the application of these words. In most cases, 'highly' means '高度地' while 'greatly' can be interpreted as '非常地' (very similar to 'very much' / 'a lot').
2008-10-18 01:09:37 補充：
e.g. highly confidential (but not 'greatly' confidential); greatly upset (but not 'highly' upset); So I think the meaning that you are trying to express is no different from 'we thank you for your kind consideration VERY MUCH'.
2008-10-18 01:10:01 補充：
That is why I think 'greatly' is more appropriate in here.
2008-10-18 01:15:44 補充：
'we THANK YOU for your kind consideration VERY MUCH'.

Dear XXX
Re: Extension of shipment date
I refer to the captioned matter.
We really regret to inform you that a problem was observed regarding the bulk yarn of style 3330 . As advised by our factory, there is colour difference found in the bulk fabric of the same batch. As such, we have to reorder the bulk yarn to standardize our product and it will take us extra time.
As the case may be, most probably the product can't be delivered on our scheduled shipment date . We therefore would like to request for an extension of the shipment refixed on 30 Oct. Please kindly confirm us of your acceptance.
Your kind consideration will highly be appreciated.
Best regards,
XXX
