亲笔写信这项被人们遗忘已久的技能将会成为公立学校的课程。门垫上为何物? 一封来自大学老友的亲笔信。这封信混在账单和垃圾信件中就如同猪圈里的钻石般格外显眼。最近政府宣布新的中学课程将会安排在初中阶段增加“使用正确格式书写个人和商务信函”的教学,鉴于此举十分罕见,我们得给政府鼓鼓掌。也许有人会说,早该如此了。写信这项技能在如今的电邮和短信时代早已被遗忘殆尽,很多学生毕业后也只能勉强写封求职信,更别说掌握那些较委婉的信件,譬如吊唁信等。
Written by hand This long forgotten skills will be a public school curriculum. What is on the doormat? A personal letter from a college friend. The letter mixed with bills and junk mail is as conspicuous as a diamond in a pigsty. Recently, the government announced that the new middle school curriculum will be arranged to add “teaching personal and business letters in the correct format” to junior high school. Given that it is very rare, we have to applaud the government. Some people may say that should be the case. This skill has long been forgotten in today’s era of email and SMS, and many students are barely able to write cover letters after graduation, let alone masculine euphemisms, such as hanging letters.
