疫情下，英文邮件的祝福语也变了
大家比较熟悉的常用邮件结尾祝福语可能是"Best regards"，"Cheers"或"All the best"等，然而疫情期间，使用这样的祝福语却可能冒犯到他人。疫情期间如何写邮件落款，可以既活泼又不失严肃？
How to write emails in a pandemic
By Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore
Few things have been left unaffected by Covid-19 – even email. As San Francisco-based podcast host Olivia Allen-Price wrote on Twitter: “2020: The year my e-mail sign-off went from ‘Cheers’ to ‘Hang in there’”.
Salutations once considered polite – ‘All the best’ or ‘Regards’ – can now come off as overly
detached. Other more cheerful sign-offs – ‘Hope you’re having a great week!’ – seem tone-deaf. Email communication has become a balancing act: to ignore the pandemic seems disingenuous, but to overdo the platitudes about health and safety might peddle more panic.
Experts say it’s not only possible to write emails in a way that’s sympathetic, but the right words can even breed a sense of global camaraderie.
As many people struggle with how to communicate amid the coronavirus pandemic, some are suggesting lightening the mood. American job-seeking website FlexJobs posted 13 socially distanced email sign-offs. Some strike a more serious tone, but other suggestions are meant to elicit a few laughs, or at least keep things buoyant: ‘Have a great socially distant day’, ‘Yours from afar’, ‘Sent from my living room’ and ‘Cautious cheers’.
疫情最新问候语图片If it appears like there are one too many rules to follow, try out something like, ‘Sending thoughts of health and peace’, ‘Take care’ or ‘Sincerely in these strange times’. It can help you communicate a human element without worrying about burning bridges or embarrassin
g yourself.

拓展练习
“A novel, like a letter should be loose, cover much ground, run swiftly, take risk of morality and decay,” Saul Bellow once wrote. Like many novelists, in his spare time the author of The Adventures of Augie March was also an enthusiastic letter writer.
A selection of Bellow’s huge correspondence, reproduced in a recent issue of the New Yorker, provides a fascinating insight into the writer’s character. Witty, often brief and almos
t always entertaining, Bellow’s letters are a reminder of why writers’ letters often prove so popular with readers. At their best, literary letters have something for everyone: general readers get a glimpse of how authors write when freed from the expectation to produce a work of conventional literary worth, and scholars get enough scholarly writings.
