Step III. Details of Text A: Medical Student Dies after Suspected Poisoning
Language Points:
1. A postgraduate (研究生) medical student in Shanghai who police believe was poisoned by a roommate has died. (Para.1)上海一名医学研究生死亡，警察认为这是由其室友毒死的。
该句是一个由who引导的定语从句，该从句结构复杂，适宜采用后置法翻译，译成并列分句。who和先行词student被隔开了。
2. Police tested the water and found something poisonous. (Para.2)
警察检测了饮水机里的水，发现了有毒的东西。
形容词修饰不定代词something、anything等的时候要放在这些词的后面。
3. The ancient poem is often used to mock people who try to attack a once-close friend. (Para.3)人们经常用这首诗讽刺那些试图攻击曾是亲密朋友的人。
be used to在这句话中表示被动语态“被用来”，后跟动词原形。如果表示“习惯于”，后接名词或动名词。如：I am used to getting up early.我习惯了早起。注意另外一个词组used to do，表示过去经常发生的事，强调现在已经不再这样。如：I used to drink much beer.我过去常喝很多啤酒。
4. My son was finishing his study through a work-study program. (Para.5)
我儿子通过勤工俭学来完成他的学业。work-study program指勤工俭学或者半工半读。
5. Another student living in the same dormitory building as Huang and Lin said... (Para.7)
和黄和林住在同一宿舍楼的另一个学生说……
living in the same dormitory building as Huang and Lin是student的定语，分词短语作定语时往往放在被修饰的词之后，相当于一个定语从句。现在分词与被修饰词之间具有主动意义，过去分词与被修饰词之间具有被动意义。这句话中，live和student之间是主动关系，所以用living而不用lived。
6. It’s the small things that can cause serious problems for dormitory relations. (Para.8)
宿舍中由于一些小事可能导致严重的问题。
It’s...that...是强调结构，要注意与it引导的主语从句的区别，去掉“it is...that...”后，剩余的词仍然能组成一个完整的句子就是强调结构，否则就是主语从句。如：It is a fact that
English is being accepted as an international language.该句话中，it是形式主语。

Step V. Explain Section III: Practical Writing
Email（电子邮件），Fax（传真）
E-mail（电子邮件）
In order to send the message successfully, you will need to fill in the following pieces of information.
To: Type the e-mail address of the person you are sending the message to. The address must be typed in correctly or the message will not reach them. A typical address will look something like this: somebodylincsat.com
Cc: Carbon copy recipients will receive a copy of the message you are sending. Enter their address in field.
Bcc: Blind carbon copy recipients will also receive a copy of the message, but their names will not appear in the message header so they can remain anonymous.
Subject: The title of your message—the first part that the recipient will not see on their screen.
Attachments:
If you want to attach a file to your e-mail message, simply follow these instructions:
1.Click on the Paper Clip icon at the top of the window will appear.
2.Select the file from your hard disk that you wish to add as an attachment. The name the file will appear in the Rile name box.
3.Click on the Attach button. The attached file will appear as an icon at the bottom of your message. If you receive messages with such icons attached, simply double click on them to open the files.

电子邮件(e-mail或email) 是electronic mail的缩写。它是现代社会人们常用的交际工具和手段。
电子邮件一般有三部分组成：邮件头(e-mail header)、正文(message content)和签名(signature)。
邮件头包括寄件人(From)的邮件地址(计算机自动输入)，收件人(To)的邮件地址(发件人输入)，抄送(Cc)(发件人输入被抄送者的邮件地址)，主题行(Subject)(发件人输入)，(日期)(Date)(计算机自动输入)。有时候，邮件头中还有暗送(Bcc)，被暗送者也能收到邮件，但他们的名字不会出现在邮件头中，所以他们处于匿名状态。
Cc是carbon copy的缩写，而Bcc是blind carbon copy的缩写。有时出于礼貌，在Cc栏添加某些人的邮件地址，这些人需要知道邮件主题但未被请求就邮件内容作出反应。他们只需做到心中有数就行。Bcc栏用时需谨慎，因为如上所述，这一栏的人可以看到To和Cc栏内的人的姓名，而自己的姓名却不会被这些人看见。
此外，邮件头中常有附件(Attachments)。做附件的目的是为了避免邮件太长，影响发邮件的效果(如速度)等，故先做好一个文件(file)，然后在发邮件之前，将此文件加上去，便成了附件。
正文是邮件的内容，其书写格式与常规信件相同。
签名写在邮件最后一行，有时附有发件人的通信地址和电话。
Sample 1 E-mail电子邮件
To: musiccompanyyahoo.com(收件人）
Cc: andersonyahoo.com（抄送）
Bcc:（密件抄送）
Subject: Music CD Copying（主题）
Attachments:（附件）
Dear Mr. Smith,
I read on your web site that you offer Music CD copying for large quantities of CDs. I'd like to inquire about the procedures involved in these services. Are the files transferred online, or are the titles sent by CD to you by standard mail? How long does it usually take to produce approximately 500 copies? Are there any discounts on such a large quantity?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I look forward to your response.

| 史密斯先生：
从网上看到贵公司提供大宗CD音乐光盘复制的业务。我想询问有关服务的手续。相关文件采用联机传递，CD以例行的邮递方式把标题寄给你们，这样是否可行？如复制大约500张CD光盘，一般需要多少时间？复制此数量的光盘能否有折扣？
贵公司如能对以上问题给予答复，我将不胜感激。盼望回复。

传真在日常工作中，尤其是商业上应用相当广泛。传真有三部分组成。
第一部分：发、收传真双方的姓名、职位、地址、传真号、日期、称呼和主题。
第一部分格式为：第一行从左到右先写收传真人的姓名(职称)和地址，然后是收件人的传真号。第二行为发传真人的姓名(职位)、地址和传真号。第三行写发传真的日期和传真页数。
主题是传真内容的简单概括，目的是让对方在看正文之前对内容有个大概了解主题往往不是完整的句子而是由短语组成，放在称呼后的第一行。
第二、三部分和书信格式一样。
一般情况下，公司有专门的传真用纸，上面已印上公司的地址、电话、传真号。日期、对方电话和传真号只要按格式填好即可。
