Gentlemen:

Your ad in the Saturday Review of Literature says that you specialize in out-of-print books. The phrase “antiquarian booksellers” scares me somewhat, as I equate “antique” with expensive. I am a poor writer with an antiquarian taste in books and all the things I want are impossible to get over here except in very expensive rare editions, or in Barnes & Noble’s grimy, marked-up schoolboy copies.

I enclose a list of my most pressing problems. If you have clean secondhand copies of any of the books on the list, for no more than $5.00 each, will you consider this a purchase order and send them to me?

Very truly yours,

Helene Hanff

Dear Madam,

In reply to your letter of October 5th, we have managed to clear up two thirds of your problem. The three Hazlitt essays you want are contained in the Nonesuch Press edition of his Selected Essays and the Stevenson is found in Virginibus Puerisque. We are sending nice copies of both these by Book Post and we trust they will arrive safely in due course and that you will be pleased with them. Our invoice is enclosed with the books.

The Leigh Hunt essays are not going to be so easy but we will see if we can find an attractive volume with them all in. We haven’t the Latin Bible you describe but we have a Latin New Testament, also a Greek New Testament, ordinary modern editions in cloth binding. Would you like these?

Yours faithfully,

Gentlemen:

The books arrived safely, the Stevenson is so fine it embarrasses my orange-crate bookshelves, I’m almost afraid to handle such soft vellum and heavy cream-colored pages. Being used to the dead-white paper and stiff cardboardy covers of American books, I never knew a book could be such a joy to the touch.

A Britisher whose girl lives upstairs translated the £1/17/6 for me and says I owe you $5.30 for the two books. I hope he got it right. I enclose a $5 bill and a single, please use the 70c toward the price of the New Testaments, both of which I want.

Will you please translate your prices hereafter? I don’t add too well in plain American, I haven’t a prayer of ever mastering bilingual arithmetic.

Yours,

Helene Hanff

 

I hope “madam” doesn’t mean over there what it does here.

Dear Miss Hanff,

Your six dollars arrived safely, but we should feel very much easier if you would send your remittances by postal money order in future, as this would be quite a bit safer for you than entrusting dollar bills to the mails.

We are very happy you liked the Stevenson so much. We have sent off the New Testaments, with an invoice listing the amount due in both pounds and dollars, and we hope you will be pleased with them.

Yours faithfully,

WHAT KIND OF A BLACK PROTESTANT BIBLE IS THIS?

Kindly inform the Church of England they have loused up the most beautiful prose ever written, whoever told them to tinker with the Vulgate Latin? They’ll burn for it, you mark my words.

It’s nothing to me, I’m Jewish myself. But I have a Catholic sister-in-law, a Methodist sister-in-law, a whole raft of Presbyterian cousins (through my Great-Uncle Abraham who converted) and an aunt who’s a Christian Science healer, and I like to think none of them would countenance this Anglican Latin Bible if they knew it existed. (As it happens, they don’t know Latin existed.)

Well, the hell with it. I’ve been using my Latin teacher’s Vulgate, what I imagine I’ll do is just not give it back till you find me one of my own.

I enclose $4 to cover the $3.88 due you, buy yourself a cup of coffee with the 12c. There’s no post office near here and I am not running all the way down to Rockefeller Plaza to stand in line for a $3.88 money order. If I wait till I get down there for something else, I won’t have the $3.88 any more. I have implicit faith in the U.S. Airmail and His Majesty’s Postal Service.

Have you got a copy of Landor’s Imaginary Conversations? I think there are several volumes, the one I want is the one with the Greek conversations. If it contains a dialogue between Aesop and Rhodope, that’ll be the volume I want.

Dear Miss Hanff,

Your four dollars arrived safely and we have credited the 12 cents to your account.

We happen to have in stock Volume II of the Works & Life of Walter Savage Landor which contains the Greek dialogues including the one mentioned in your letter, as well as the Roman dialogues. It is an old edition published in 1876, not very handsome but well bound and a good clean copy, and we are sending it off to you today with invoice enclosed.

I am sorry we made the mistake with the Latin Bible and will try to find a Vulgate for you. Not forgetting Leigh Hunt.

Yours faithfully,

Sir:

(It feels witless to keep writing “Gentlemen” when the same solitary soul is obviously taking care of everything for me.)

Savage Landor arrived safely and promptly fell open to a Roman dialogue where two cities had just been destroyed by war and everybody was being crucified and begging passing Roman soldiers to run them through and end the agony. It’ll be a relief to turn to Aesop and Rhodope where all you have to worry about is a famine. I do love secondhand books that open to the page some previous owner read oftenest. The day Hazlitt came he opened to “I hate to read new books,” and I hollered “Comrade!” to whoever owned it before me.

I enclose a dollar which Brian (British boy friend of Kay upstairs) says will cover the /8/ I owe you, you forgot to translate it.

Now then. Brian told me you are all rationed to 2 ounces of meat per family per week and one egg per person per month and I am simply appalled. He has a catalogue from a British firm here which flies food from Denmark to his mother, so I am sending a small Christmas present to Marks & Co. I hope there will be enough to go round, he says the Charing Cross Road bookshops are “all quite small.”

I’m sending it c/o you, FPD, whoever you are.

Noel.

FPD! CRISIS!

I sent that package off. The chief item in it was a 6-pound ham, I figured you could take it to a butcher and get it sliced up so everybody would have some to take home.

But I just noticed on your last invoice it says: “B. Marks. M. Cohen.” Props.

ARE THEY KOSHER? I could rush a tongue over.

ADVISE PLEASE!

Dear Miss Hanff,

Just a note to let you know that your gift parcel arrived safely today and the contents have been shared out between the staff. Mr. Marks and Mr. Cohen insisted that we divide it up among ourselves and not include “the bosses.” I should just like to add that everything in the parcel was something that we either never see or can only be had through the black market. It was extremely kind and generous of you to think of us in this way and we are all extremely grateful.

We all wish to express our thanks and send our greetings and best wishes for 1950.

Yours faithfully,

Frank Doel, what are you DOING over there, you are not doing ANYthing, you are just sitting AROUND.

Where is Leigh Hunt? Where is the Oxford Verse? Where is the Vulgate and dear goofy John Henry, I thought they’d be such nice uplifting reading for Lent and NOTHING do you send me.

you leave me sitting here writing long margin notes in library books that don’t belong to me, some day they’ll find out i did it and take my library card away.

I have made arrangements with the Easter bunny to bring you an Egg, he will get over there and find you have died of Inertia.

I require a book of love poems with spring coming on. No Keats or Shelley, send me poets who can make love without slobbering—Wyatt or Jonson or somebody, use your own judgment. Just a nice book preferably small enough to stick in a slacks pocket and take to Central Park.

Well, don’t just sit there! Go find it! i swear i dont know how that shop keeps going.

Dear Miss Hanff,

I have to thank you for the very welcome Easter parcel which arrived safely yesterday. We were all delighted to see the tins and the box of shell eggs, and the rest of the staff joins me in thanking you for your very kind and generous thought of us.

I am sorry we haven’t been able to send you any of the books you want. About the book of love poems, now and then we do get such a volume as you describe. We have none in stock at the moment but shall look out for one for you.

Again, many thanks for the parcel.

Dear Cecily—

And a very bad cess to Old Mr. Martin, tell him I’m so unstudious I never even went to college. I just happen to have peculiar taste in books, thanks to a Cambridge professor named Quiller-Couch, known as Q, whom I fell over in a library when I was 17. And I’m about as smart-looking as a Broadway panhandler. I live in moth-eaten sweaters and wool slacks, they don’t give us any heat here in the daytime. It’s a 5-story brownstone and all the other tenants go out to work at 9 A.M. and don’t come home till 6—and why should the landlord heat the building for one small script-reader/writer working at home on the ground floor?

Poor Frank, I give him such a hard time, I’m always bawling him out for something. I’m only teasing, but I know he’ll take me seriously. I keep trying to puncture that proper British reserve, if he gets ulcers I did it.

Please write and tell me about London, I live for the day when I step off the boat-train and feel its dirty sidewalks under my feet. I want to walk up Berkeley Square and down Wimpole Street and stand in St. Paul’s where John Donne preached and sit on the step Elizabeth sat on when she refused to enter the Tower, and like that. A newspaper man I know, who was stationed in London during the war, says tourists go to England with preconceived notions, so they always find exactly what they go looking for. I told him I’d go looking for the England of English literature, and he said:

“Then it’s there.”

Dear Miss Hanff,

It is such a long time since we wrote to you I hope you do not think we have forgotten all about your wants.

Anyway, we now have in stock the Oxford Book of English Verse, printed on India paper, original blue cloth binding, 1905, inscription in ink on the flyleaf but a good secondhand copy, price $2.00. We thought we had better quote before sending, in case you have already purchased a copy.

Some time ago you asked us for Newman’s Idea of a University. Would you be interested in a copy of the first edition? We have just purchased one, particulars as follows:

NEWMAN (JOHN HENRY, D.D.) Discourses on the Scope and Nature of University Education, Addressed to the Catholics of Dublin. First edition, 8 vo. calf, Dublin, 1852. A few pages a little age-stained and spotted but a good copy in a sound binding.  Price—$6.00

In case you would like them, we will put both books on one side until you have time to reply.

With kind regards,
Yours faithfully,

Frank Doel

he has a first edition of Newman’s University for six bucks, do I want it, he asks innocently.

Dear Frank,

Yes, I want it. I won’t be fit to live with myself. I’ve never cared about first editions per se, but a first edition of THAT book—!

oh my.

i can just see it.

Send the Oxford Verse, too, please. Never wonder if I’ve found something somewhere else, I don’t look anywhere else any more. Why should I run all the way down to 17th St. to buy dirty, badly made books when I can buy clean, beautiful ones from you without leaving the typewriter? From where I sit, London’s a lot closer than 17th Street.

Enclosed please God please find $8. Did I tell you about Brian’s lawsuit? He buys physics tomes from a technical bookshop in London, he’s not sloppy and haphazard like me, he bought an expensive set and went down to Rockefeller Plaza and stood in line and got a money order and cabled it or whatever you do with it, he’s a businessman, he does things right.

the money order got lost in transit.

Up His Majesty’s Postal Service!

HH

 

am sending very small parcel to celebrate first edition, Overseas Associates finally sent me my own catalogue.

Dear Miss Hanff,

We are glad you liked the “Q” anthology. We have no copy of the Oxford Book of English Prose in stock at the moment but will try to find one for you.

About the Sir Roger de Coverley Papers, we happen to have in stock a volume of eighteenth century essays which includes a good selection of them as well as essays by Chesterfield and Goldsmith. It is edited by Austin Dobson and is quite a nice edition and as it is only $1.15 we have sent it off to you by Book Post. If you want a more complete collection of Addison & Steele let me know and I will try to find one.

There are six of us in the shop, not including Mr. Marks and Mr. Cohen.

Faithfully yours,

Dear Cecily—

Yorkshire Pudding out of this world, we have nothing like it, I had to describe it to somebody as a high, curved, smooth, empty waffle.

Please don’t worry about what the food parcels cost, I don’t know whether Overseas Asso. is non-profit or duty-free or what, but they are monstrous cheap, that whole Christmas parcel cost less than my turkey. They do have a few rich parcels with things like standing rib-roasts and legs of lamb, but even those are so cheap compared with what they cost in the butcher shops that it kills me not to be able to send them. I have such a time with the catalogue, I spread it out on the rug and debate the relative merits of Parcel 105 (includes-one-dozen-eggs-and-a-tin-of-sweet-biscuits) and Parcel 217B (two-dozen-eggs-and-NO-sweet-biscuits), I hate the one-dozen egg parcels, what is two eggs for anybody to take home? But Brian says the powdered ones taste like glue. So it’s a problem.

A producer who likes my plays (but not enough to produce them) just phoned. He’s producing a TV series, do I want to write for television? “Two bills,” he said carelessly, which it turned out means $200. And me a $40-a-week script-reader! I go down to see him tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed.

Best—

Dear Miss Hanff,

I expect you are getting a bit worried that we have not written to thank you for your parcels and are probably thinking that we are an ungrateful lot. The truth is that I have been chasing round the country in and out of various stately homes of England trying to buy a few books to fill up our sadly depleted stock. My wife was starting to call me the lodger who just went home for bed and breakfast, but of course when I arrived home with a nice piece of MEAT, to say nothing of dried eggs and ham, then she thought I was a fine fellow and all was forgiven. It is a long time since we saw so much meat all in one piece.

We should like to express our appreciation in some way or other, so we are sending by Book Post today a little book which I hope you will like. I remember you asked me for a volume of Elizabethan love poems some time ago—well, this is the nearest l can get to it.

Yours faithfully,

Notably, environmental and natural disaster news receives the highest attention, while art and culture receives the lowest. In recent years, countries worldwide have been focusing more on environmental issues because global warming is worsening. As a result, more people are becoming aware of these problems in their own countries. As for art and culture, most people do not participate in this field, making it a less popular topic. Few people are interested in learning about it.

## 📌 練習文診斷與學習建議


### 一、中譯英常見問題

1. **用字不精準**:如 “Creat-flag” 應為 “Creative banners”;“seal” 應為 “sales”。

2. **詞性誤用**:如 “efficiently” 是副詞,此處應用形容詞 “effective”。

3. **句型結構錯誤**:如 “seem have no means” 應改為 “seem to have no meaning” 或 “seem meaningless”。

4. **拼字與符號錯誤**:如 “eyes-catching” 應為 “eye-catching”;“το” 應為 “to”。


### 二、英文作文常見問題

1. **拼字與文法錯誤**:如 “envivament” → “environment”;“destrotion” → “destruction”;“cultrue” → “culture”。

2. **中式英文結構**:如 “the lowest looked by them” 應改為 “receive the least attention”。

3. **句子連貫性不足**:應多使用連接詞(如 while, whereas, because, although)來銜接句子。

4. **用詞重複或不當**:如 “focus the news” 應為 “follow the news” 或 “pay attention to the news”。

5. **大小寫與標點錯誤**:如隨意使用大寫(“The American Teenagers agers”)、句點與逗號混用。


### 三、學習建議

1. **加強單字拼寫與詞性辨識**:可透過閱讀英文文章、使用單字卡或語言學習app(如 Quizlet)來累積正確詞彙。

2. **多練習基本句型與連接詞使用**:寫作時先想好主詞、動詞、受詞,再透過連接詞擴展句子。

3. **善用文法檢查工具**:如 Grammarly 或 ChatGPT 輔助檢查,並對照正確句子理解錯誤原因。

4. **多閱讀英文新聞或短文**:觀察母語者如何表達“關注”、“喜歡”、“避免”等概念,提升語感。

5. **寫完後先自行檢查**:檢查拼字、大小寫、動詞時態與主詞一致性,再提交或請人批改。

| If my school plans to organize a community event, among the three options, I would choose to provide community service for the elderly, such as delivering meals, cleaning, or offering companionship. Taiwan faces a serious issue regarding its population structure, particularly the growing elderly population. Therefore, I believe we should take action to alleviate this situation. Even if there is not much we can do, we should still try our best.

| If my school anticipate to take take place a community event. In these three options, I will choose to pronde Community service for the elderly. Like sending meal, sweep, or accompaning. Because Taiwan has a very serious problem on population. Especially the high-aged population. So, I suppose we should do something to slow down this situation. Even if there are not many thing we can do, we also can do the best of my ability. |

| From my perspective, to address this issue, we can spend time accompanying the elderly during our free time. Since many elderly people have family members who are often busy with work, they rarely have time to take care of their older relatives. Regularly organizing group activities can prevent the elderly from staying at home all the time. Doing so can provide meaningful companionship, reducing feelings of loneliness among them.

| From my point of view. In order to slow dawn this situation, we can accompany with elderly in our free time. Because most elderly's fanaly often busy in work. Seldom do they have time. to take of their elderly. Regular organize team activity to prevent the elderly from staying at home all the time. Do this can fully accompany those elderly, less they gradually fell lonely. |


### 主要問題:

1. **文法錯誤**:動詞形態(is feature → is characterized)、分詞使用(leting → letting)、贅字(can use → can buy at)。

2. **用字不精準**:low-priced(形容詞)→ low prices(名詞)、gigantic pollution problem → significant pollution problems。

3. **句型結構**:句子碎片化(如開頭多個短句)、連接詞使用不當。

4. **拼字錯誤**:couraged → encouraged、pronde → provide、accompaning → accompanying、fanaly → family。

5. **邏輯表達**:部分因果關係不夠清晰(人口問題與服務老人的直接關聯)。


### 學習建議:

1. **加強文法基礎**:特別關注動詞形態、主被動語態(is characterized by)及分詞構句。

2. **練習完整句型**:避免寫出片段句子,學習用連接詞組合相關概念。

3. **擴充實用詞彙**:

   - 替代「big」:significant, considerable, substantial

   - 替代「problem」:issue, challenge, concern

   - 學習正確搭配:address an issue, alleviate a situation, provide companionship

4. **寫作組織訓練**:

   - 第一段:明確選擇 + 2-3個具體原因

   - 第二段:具體活動內容 + 設計理由

5. **檢查清單**:完成作文後檢查:拼字、動詞時態、單複數、句子完整性。


### 進步要點:

- 已能表達基本想法與選擇理由

- 嘗試使用複雜句型(如Even if...)

- 主題意識明確,段落大致符合要求


**練習方向**:建議每天練習5-10個「中譯英」句子,重點放在動詞搭配和介係詞使用;每週寫一篇150字短文,完成後先自我檢查上述常見錯誤,再對照範文修改。

| **第一段**
If my school is planning a community event, I would choose the second option: holding a special market. This kind of market could attract both tourists and local residents to visit. When people find interesting and high-quality products they like, they will be willing to buy them, which would help our school and participating families earn some money. If customers are satisfied, they might even recommend the market to their friends, bringing in more visitors and increasing our income.

| **第二段**
I think the market should include handicrafts made by students or items related to our school. For example, we could sell clothes, bags, or masks with the school logo, as well as creative handmade items designed by students. These products are not only attractive and practical but also help promote our school’s image. With more visitors coming to the market, it would boost the local economy and bring benefits to nearby businesses. Most importantly, we could raise a considerable amount of money for school activities.

## **三、整體診斷與學習建議**


### **診斷:**

1. **詞彙與拼寫問題**:如 “i price” → “low price”、“lensing” → “allowing”、“aford” → “afford”、“consume” 應為 “consumption”、“pollute problem” 應為 “pollution problem”。

2. **文法結構錯誤**:句子結構混亂、動詞形式錯誤(如 “will make a choose” → “is to choose”)、主謂不一致(“it create” → “it creates”)。

3. **英文作文組織鬆散**:標點使用不當、斷句不清晰、語意跳躍,影響整體連貫性。

4. **用詞與搭配不準確**:如 “produce our school market” 應為 “promote our school market”;“handicrafe” 應為 “handicrafts”。

5. **大小寫與標點不一致**:英文專有名詞或句首常未大寫,句點使用不規律。


### **學習建議:**

1. **加強基礎文法**:建議複習動詞時態、主謂一致、名詞與動詞搭配,並多做句型轉換練習。

2. **累積常用詞彙與搭配**:可透過閱讀短文或範文,學習常見表達如 “be characterized by”、“generate waste”、“promote the local economy” 等。

3. **練習作文大綱與組織**:寫作前先列出重點(選擇、原因、活動內容、理由),並分為清楚段落,每段圍繞一個核心觀點展開。

4. **善用工具輔助**:寫完後可先使用文法檢查工具(如 Grammarly)初步修正拼寫與基本錯誤,再對照範文比較用詞與句型差異。

5. **中譯英練習要注重「意譯」**:不要逐字翻譯,先理解整句意思,再用正確的英文結構表達。

## **綜合診斷與學習建議**


#### 📌 主要問題:

1.  **拼字與打字錯誤**:如 `envivament`, `destrotion`, `cultrue`, `arguement`, `resulz`。

2.  **用詞與搭配不當**:

    *   `look forward` 意思是「期待」,用在此處不準確,應為 `follow`, `pay attention to`。

    *   `marching warchis` 為明顯錯誤,可能想表達 `also pay close attention to`。

    *   `decrease the frequent` 是中文直譯,正確說法是 `reduce the frequency`。

    *   `nice politicians` 語意過於模糊且不正式,可改為 `dedicated/serious politicians`。

3.  **文法與句子結構**:

    *   缺乏連接詞導致「流水句」:`I usually focus... it is related...` 應改為 `I usually focus..., as it is related...`。

    *   介系詞使用錯誤:`focus the news` 應為 `focus on the news`;`related with` 應為 `related to`;`on Internet` 應為 `on the Internet`。

    *   句子不完整或邏輯連接生硬:最後一句 `resulz I know... but I still will...` 結構混亂。


#### ✅ 學習建議:

1.  **養成檢查習慣**:寫完後務必回頭檢查拼字,特別是主題關鍵字(如 environment, culture, argument)。

2.  **善用工具**:寫作時可開啟拼寫檢查功能,或使用字典確認單字。

3.  **掌握固定搭配**:重點記憶常用動詞片語,如 `pay attention to`, `focus on`, `be related to`, `be interested in`。

4.  **學習連接詞與從句**:練習使用 `because`, `as`, `since`, `although` 等詞來連接句子,使文章更流暢。避免只用逗號連接兩個完整句子。

5.  **提升用詞精準度**:嘗試使用更具體、正式的詞彙來表達想法,例如將 `nice politicians` 具體化為 `politicians who are dedicated to public service`。


**整體而言,您已能理解圖表資訊並表達個人觀點,主要需在「用詞準確度」與「句子連貫性」上加強。建議多閱讀英文新聞或短文,觀察其用詞與句子是如何自然連接的。**
