经典套路

·对方原因 ——The foremost reason is that 主题 is not in line with my specialty / expectation / interest ; therefore,it would be unwise of me to engage in / carry on what I’m not good at.

解析： “in line with...”意为“与……一致”；后半句用到了形式主语，其主干是“it is adj. of sb. to dosth.”。

翻译： 最重要的原因是主题与我的 专长 / 预期 / 兴 趣 不符；因此，如果我 参与 / 继续做 我不擅长的事，就太不明智了。

·己方原因 ——I have been assigned an urgent task by my university / made up mind to pursue advanced studies , which deprived me of the time and energy to accept the ofer / work for you .

解析： “be assigned an urgent task”是被动语态，表示身不由己；“pursue advanced studies”意为“深造”；后半句中的“deprive sb. of sth.”意为“剥夺某人的某物”。

翻译： 学校给 我 安排了一个重要任务 /我 决定去深 造 ，这样我就没有时间和精力 接受邀请 / 为您工作 。

Dear Mr. Smith,

I have been working as the chairman of the student union for two years. I’m writing to inform you that I decide to quit.

The foremost reason is that the job is not in line with my expectation; therefore, it would be unwise of me to carry on what I’m not good at. Moreover, I have made up my mind to pursue advanced studies, which deprived me of the time and energy to work for the union. I wish I could continue, but the deadline is approaching. Nonetheless, I am willing to give you any assistance in my power.

Again, I want to express my apology for the trouble I caused. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future at your best convenience.

Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

亲爱的史密斯先生：

我已经做了两年学生会主席了。我写信是要通知您，我决定辞职。

最重要的原因是这个工作与我的预期不符，因此，如果我继续做自己不擅长的事，就太不明智了。此外，我决定去深造，这样我就没有时间和精力为学生会工作了。我希望我能继续，但是期限将至，恕难从命。尽管如此，我愿意在我力所能及的范围内为您提供帮助。

再一次为我造成的麻烦道歉。希望早日收到您的回信。

此致
李明
