【经典范文】
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Students’ Union of Beijing Foreign Studies University, I would like to extend our heartfelt welcome to all the overseas students who will study in our university.
It is my great pleasure to offer several practical suggestions to you. In the first place, life in this prestigious university is perhaps not as easy as what you expected. You may be tightly bound by daily classes, abundant homework and frequent exams. Thus, be prepared for the hectic life here. In the second place, in spite of all these burdens, various extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests and social gatherings will still provide ample opportunities to make friends. So, enjoy your life in this esteemed institute!
All in all, although there are a host of pressure, the time you spend on our campus will be worthwhile and enhance your whole life. Hope you like it here!
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

我谨代表北京外国语大学学生会，向来我校学习的留学生表示衷心的欢迎。
我很荣幸能给你们提一些实用的建议。首先，来到这所享有盛誉的学府，生活也许并不像你们想象中的那样轻松。你们可能会面临每日的课程、大量的作业和频繁的考试。因此，做好准备迎接这里的繁忙生活吧。其次，虽然有以上负担，但是运动会、演讲比赛以及联谊会等各种各样的课外活动仍会提供大量结交朋友的机会。所以，尽情享受这所著名大学里的生活吧！
总之，尽管存在许多压力，但你们在这所校园里度过的时光将意义非凡，并为你的整个人生增添光彩。希望你们喜欢这里！
【要点解析】
① on behalf of...：为了......的利益，代表......
可以作为题目中“in the name of...”的替换表达。
② overseas students：留学生，海外学生
近义表达还有：international students, foreign students, exchange student.
③ offer you several practical suggestions ：提供几点实用的建议
其中offer意为“提供”，可用give和provide替换。
④ as easy as what you expected：如你们想象中的那样轻松
我们常说的“小菜一碟”可以用：as easy as 1,2,3 或 as easy as pie 来表达。
⑤ be tightly bound by ：受……约束，束缚，限制
⑥ daily classes, abundant homework and frequent exams
写作中经常使用复杂的形容词来替换表达，替换不一定需要同义词，可以采用同趋势意义替换，如“大量的”可用“繁杂的，困难的”替换，“频繁的”可用“恼人的，综合的”替换，关键在于结合场景灵活运用，例如：
daily classes可用regular/ continual/ classes, 或 everyday curriculum, 或routine courses，或hectic/busy work schedule替换；
abundant homework可用complex tasks，或many/a great number of/a lot of exercises，或excessive/strenuous/heavy homework替换；
frequent exams 可用difficult/comprehensive/mock/practical/annoying examinations 替换.
⑦ be prepared for ：为......做好准备
常见短语有“be prepared for the worst”意为“为最坏的情况做好准备”，“be prepared for any eventuality”意为“做好应对一切情况的准备”。
⑧ a lot of pressure：诸多压力
可用many things lacking（许多不足），或a great deal of stress（大量压力），或many regrets（很多遗憾）替换。
【关键句型】
① I would like to extend our heartfelt welcome to...
常见欢迎套话，表达衷心的欢迎，后接对象。
② It is my great pleasure to offer several practical suggestions to you.
神级建议套话，简单好记，要提建议前就先丢下去绝对不会错，不过用太多次也会乏。
③ In the first place,...In the second place,...All in all,...
“一方面，......另一方面，......总之，......。”常用逻辑连接词，详见上一篇相关拓展分点陈述连接词，适当记忆一些连接词，便于我们组织语言，理清思维。
④life in this prestigious university perhaps is not as satisfactory as what you expected. You may be tightly bound by continual classes, abundant homework and frequent exams.
万能建议之一，表达也相对高端，意思是“来学校就是读书的，没你想的那么好玩”。这篇的句子都是建议信通用句，尽量全文默写背诵。
⑤ in spite of all these burdens, various extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests and social gatherings will still provide ample opportunities to make friends.
万能建议之二，大体是说“读书虽然辛苦，但校园生活一样精彩缤纷”。句子长，个别单词也难写，死磕就是了。
⑥ although there are a host of pressure, the time you spend on our campus will be worthwhile and enhance your whole life.
万能马屁用语，夸学校不留痕迹，意为尽管压力山大，但校园生活将让你终生受益。其中"campus"可以换成其他机构，如“company”之类。后半句可改写为“life in our campus is a worthwhile period in your whole lifetime.”意为“校园生活阶段将是你人生中的美好时期。”
⑦ Hope you like it here!
万能祝福语，与"Wish you enjoy your life here!"同义。

短语积累之生态环境保护
关于短语的积累方法，我建议采用“中译英”的方式，即先把中文弄明白，再查找对应的英文表达。如“环境保护”是名词性短语，“保护环境”则是“动词性短语”，在查找词典的时候就应该将“保护”一词进行区分，而在写作中套用时，要记得检查时态和单复数等问题。
以下为“生态环境保护”相关短语：
环境保护 environmental protection
提高环保意识 enhance the awareness of environmental protection
保持生态平衡 maintain/keep ecological balance
生态系统 ecosystem
生态示范区 ecological demonstration region
生态农业 ecological agriculture
生态旅游 ecotourism
自然保护区 nature reserve
可持续发展战略 sustainable development strategy
防风防沙林 windbreak and sand break
宜人的生活环境 pleasant living environment
节能 save energy
减排 reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce the emission of greenhouse gases
降低资源消耗率 slow down the rate of resource consumption/degradation
环保产品 environment-friendly products

核能 nuclear energy
