友人彼此打听借款者底细函September 17, 2020Dear Richard,Long time no see. I hope all is well with you. I understand Harry recently asked you to lend him some money but you turned him down. I know, because he wrote me and asked to borrow the money from me. I lent it to him, but with some misgivings because it was a pretty large sum. Ill admit his promise of an interest payment of $2,500 helped persuade me.He said you told him you couldnt afford to lend him the money, but he didnt seem convinced. I have to say I find it hard to believe, too, because I know you are as well off as I am, if not more so. But perhaps you had some other reason for not wanting to lend him anything. If you have reason to believe I may not get my money back, by all means let me know.Sincerely,Timothy White亲爱的理查：很久没见了。希望你一切安好。我知道哈利最近曾要求你借给他一些钱，但你拒绝他了。我知道这件事是因为他写信给我向我借钱。我把钱借给他了，但心里却有些不安，因为那是一笔钜额的金钱。我承认他答应要付我两千五百元利息，这件事说服了我把钱借给他。他说你告诉他，你没钱借给他，不过他好象不相信。我必须说，我也不相信，因为我知道纵使你不比我富裕，起码也像我一样有钱。但也许你有其它某个不想借钱给他的理由吧。如果你有理由相信我无法拿回我的钱的话，一定要让我知道。提摩西怀特敬上2020年9月17日字词解说：1.misgiving 不安的心，焦虑have misgiving about .对.感到不安例：Mr. Lin had some misgivings about sending his son to America, but he decide to go ahead.林先生对送他二子到美国这件事虽然心里不安，但他仍 决定那样做。2. paymen报酬，酬劳3. persuade 说服例:The conman persuaded the old lady to give him money.(那个骗子说服该老妇给他钱。)4. afford .有足够的(金钱、时间等)去做;例:Can you afford such an expensive present?(你买得起这么贵的礼物吗?)5. convinced确信的convince 使信服;使确信convince sb+that从句使某人确信/信服be convinced of+N相信例:We convinced him that he was wrong.(我们使他相信他是错的。)We are all convinced of his innocence.=We are all convinced that he is innocent.(我们都相信他是无辜的。)6. be well off小康的例:Ms. Liu is not rich, but she is quite well off.(刘小姐不是很有钱，但是她过得去。)7. by all means必定
