名師點(diǎn)評(píng)：
[1]這句話明顯是中文的痕跡，譯成中文，中國(guó)人可以理解，外國(guó)人肯定不能。
[2]既然并購(gòu)就意味著要換公司的名字，怎么是we decide?在商務(wù)英語的寫作中，主語一般都選擇客體代詞，避免應(yīng)用主觀性很強(qiáng)的句子。
[3]Instead 可以直接放在句尾，不用介詞。
[4]這個(gè)范圍也太有限了，難道只有和客戶見面才用新名稱么?整句改為：please use the new name officially from then.

Thank you!

名師點(diǎn)評(píng)：
[1]這個(gè)就不要提了吧，并購(gòu)成了一家人，沒必要在公司內(nèi)部的memo中有意提醒。
[2]既然并購(gòu)就意味著要換公司的名字，怎么是we decide?在商務(wù)英語的寫作中，主語一般都選擇客體代詞，避免應(yīng)用主觀性很強(qiáng)的句子。
[3]沒有具體日期，你讓員工們從什么時(shí)候開始用這個(gè)新名字?
[4]Use
[5]去掉，這句話是用在信件結(jié)尾的，而且，也不能說come to my office. 公司并購(gòu)，換新名稱，理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)?，去你的辦公室做什么?

Our company has merged with Mason. co recently. [1]The new name " MasonGolding" will take effect on October 1st. Please use the new name in your daily affairs[2] from then on. Thanks for your cooperation.

名師點(diǎn)評(píng)：
[1]開頭這句改為分詞，following the merger, ....
[2]改為：routine work 或者其他可以表示日常工作的，affairs 一般是指報(bào)紙的一周大事記，或者個(gè)人事，比如：love affairs 就是桃色事件，第三者插足。

Memo
From:Sonia
To:All staff
Date:29 september 2008
Re:The changed[1] name of our company
As our company has merged with one of our competiter,[2]the name of our company has changed[3] into MasonGolding. All the staff should use our new name since 1 October, and we can only use the new name after that day
If you have any question, please connect us. [4]
Thank you!

名師點(diǎn)評(píng)：
[1]過去分詞作定語或狀語都是表示已經(jīng)結(jié)束的動(dòng)作，如果名字已經(jīng)改完，就不用有這封memo 了。
[2]改為介詞短語after the merger,
[3]時(shí)態(tài)錯(cuò)誤，完成時(shí)表示已經(jīng)了，應(yīng)該是將來時(shí)。
[4]去掉，名字問題毋庸置疑，沒有商量。

As the director board agreed to move toward a merger between our company and Mason, [1] the name of company will be changed. The new name MasonGolding become effective from next month[2].Please be noticed.

名師點(diǎn)評(píng)：
[1]好羅嗦的原因啊，董事會(huì)的決定你就不用提了。
[2]太長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間，也太不具體。
