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.

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……

c.兹通知(你们)……Please be

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
