skylee Posted February 1, 2005 at 01:40 PM Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 at 01:40 PM Simplified version - "祝您和您的家人新年快乐 一个感激您的学生上" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raincoat Posted February 3, 2005 at 06:47 AM Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 at 06:47 AM I am not so sure if we can just write like this: "祝您和家新年快乐" "一个感激您的学生" and sign my name below that sentence? I am actually quite confused with the “上”. Can anybody tell me why we must we add that word? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted February 3, 2005 at 07:24 AM Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 at 07:24 AM Oh... if you're going to put your name in it too, then you should do: 祝您和您的家人新年快乐！一个感激您的学生：ＸＸ上 (replace ＸＸ with your name) 上 is short for 敬上, which means "respectfully." At the end of a letter it functions like the English, "sincerely." Using just 上 makes it less formal than the full 敬上. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raincoat Posted February 3, 2005 at 07:44 AM Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 at 07:44 AM Oic.. Thanks a lot. What if I don't put the 上? Would it be rude/disrespecful? And can I just write like this: 祝您和家新年快乐? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted February 3, 2005 at 07:55 AM Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 at 07:55 AM You can leave out the 上 if you really want to. It just makes it even less formal, but it's fine between people who know each other. And can I just write like this: 祝您和家新年快乐? That sounds slightly awkward... possibly because just 家 alone can be ambiguous. I suggest: 祝您全家新年快乐 (Wishing your entire family [which by implication includes you] a Happy New Year) ...or... 祝您和您的家新年快乐 ...or you can just go with the original.

raincoat Posted February 3, 2005 at 08:16 AM Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 at 08:16 AM Thanks for your answer, noo... I've written 和 instead of 全 this year though. Is it an embarassing mistake? It could be I translate it from english or I heard it somewhere and just followed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted February 3, 2005 at 09:00 AM Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 at 09:00 AM Actually 您和家 should be okay... it's understandable and there's much more leeway when writing than speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
