1. to be indebted to somebody for something

to be indebted to somebody for something 是这种句式基本语序，但在实践中，如果somebody是一个比较长的短语，为了使整个句子读起来更通顺，更容易理解，就可以把它挪到句尾：to be indebted to somebody for something.

如本课 We are indebted for your address to the mercial Counselor's Office of the Algerian Embassy in

一

Beijing. 我们得知你公司的地址，要感谢阿尔及利亚驻北京大使馆商赞处。在这里，要感谢的人是the mercial Counselor's Office of the Algerian Embassy in Beijing. 阿尔及利亚驻北京大使馆商赞处，这是个比较长的短语，所以放在句尾。

They have informed us that……该处已经告知我们……

b. 宾语后接从句 inform (advise) somebody + that/what/which: We wish to inform (advise) you that business has been done at US$110 per metric ton. 我们已经以每公吨110美元的价格成交，特此告知。

c.兹通知（你们）……Please be

一

informed (advised) that……: Please be informed (advised) that we have already sent the samples requested. 兹通知你方，我方已经将所索样品寄出。

注意：如果省略宾语（人称代词）则不宜使用inform。如：Please advise the name of steamer. 请告知船名。Please advise what quantity you can sell a year.请告知每年可销售的数量。在这种情况下，不能用inform,只能用advise。

3. in the market for something

in the market for something 是书面语言，表示想买进某物。如课文中：You are in the market for Chemicals. 你公
