Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to obtain some information about the forthcoming Tang Dynasty exhibition at your museum.
I am studying for a degree in ancient Chinese literature and have a particular interest in this period. Indeed, I will soon begin writing my dissertation focusing on how literature tells us about the way in which ordinary people of the time lived. Therefore I am interested to know if the exhibition covers all facets of the Tang Dynasty society, or it is mainly concerned with the emperors and mandarins.
My second request may be a little unusual. I'm wondering if you have any written materials dating back to this period in your archives. If you do, am I allowed to read them? I'm looking forward to a favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
尊敬的先生/女士:
我想獲取一些有關(guān)貴館即將舉辦的唐朝展覽的信息。
我正在攻讀中國古代文學(xué)學(xué)位,對唐代特別感興趣。事實(shí)上,不久我將開始撰寫論文,集中探討文學(xué)是如何向我們揭示唐朝普通人的生活方式的。因此,我想了解這次展覽是否涉及唐代社會(huì)的方方面面,還是主要關(guān)于皇帝和官員。
我的第二個(gè)請求也許有點(diǎn)不太尋常。我想知道貴館檔案中是否有唐代的歷史文獻(xiàn)。如果有,能允許我看看嗎?我期待能盡快得到肯定的答復(fù)。
您真誠的,
李明
