Language notes (W4)

<Miss Word >

... They are going to graduate from NCCU this year. And I think what the project does for people just suits them.

... And it runs like this: first, you need to pay 100NTD to buy a special envelope with a postcard, an exclusive “Miss Word” edition UNI ball pen, and a stamp for “future mail”. Then, write down what you want to say to who you want to say to, after finishing hand-writing, just put it in to the mailbox they prepared, and in the next year(2014) you or the one you mail to will receive a postcard from 2013.

... I think it is meaningful to send a letter for people in the future, to express our feelings “in the past”. Therefore I introduce “Miss Word” to you, hope you like it.

(1) 第一段所提及"what the project does for people"似乎難以讓人了解，因為在第一段中並未說明這個活動的目的。故較合適的方式是改到最後段落評論時使用。

(2)寫下你所要跟某人說的：write down what you want to say to whom you want to speak with / talk to.

→ 對誰說，who應要用受詞whom

→ 跟別人說，也可以用speak with / talk with / talk to 等。

→ 這一句話跟後面的「寫完之後放入信封...等」應分兩句話，故句號。

(3) 寄信給未來的人：... send a letter to people ... ：如果寫 for，變成為未來的人寄信(例如幫未來的人請願等的目的)，不合原意。
