参考范文

Dear friend,

I’m writing to recommend a film—Beasts of the Southern Wild, which is a great touch to me.

There’re some reasons for my recommendation. Firstly, the plot is metaphorical. It’s about the power of people to survive, and about community and loneliness. You can find echoes with all these people in their craziness and uneducated wisdom. Secondly, the film captures an insightful look at a culture which hardly exists in the America any more, or even in any other country for its primitivism. At last, the film is thought-provoking, leaving the audience reflecting on the relationship of humankind and nature.

I hope you’ll enjoy the movie. I am looking forward to your reply. Take care!

Yours,

Li Ming

亲爱的朋友：

我写信是为了向你推荐《南国野兽》这部电影，它对我触动很大。

以下是我的推荐理由。首先，情节具有隐喻性，这是一部关于人们顽强生存，关于社区和孤独的电影。你可以在这些人的疯狂和未经教育的智慧中找到共鸣。第二，电影深入探寻了在美国甚至其他国家都不复存在的原始主义文化。最后，这部电影令人深思，会让观众看后反思人类与自然的关系。

我希望你能喜欢这部电影。期待你的回信。祝好！

谨上，

李明
