I wanted to check in to ensure xxx.

我發(fā)郵件過來只是想了解一下狀況以確保.....

check in 我們最常記得的意思是“酒店入住登記”。它在這里表示“獲取信息”，還可以表示“匯報(bào)”。有時候你會在郵件里看到客戶這樣寫，就不要誤會成其他意思了。

This parts were made in May.

這些零件是在5月份制造的。

這里面part是制造業(yè)中零件的意思，配件我們有時候也會用elements. 而不會用product。

Our annual report is due to be shared early next year.

財(cái)報(bào)明年年初公布。

The samples are due to ship / be shipped on Friday.

樣品預(yù)計(jì)周五寄出。

The parts are due in Shenzhen on Monday.

The parts are expected to arrive in Shenzhen on Monday.

零件將于周五抵達(dá)深圳。

我們不知道Due 還有表示“預(yù)期”的意思，能用來代替expect, due date 是“預(yù)計(jì)日期”，這里也指預(yù)產(chǎn)期。

而不是截止日期，截止日期通常用deadline,expiry date表示，還可以用closing date, cut off date, expiration date等。

expedite the order加快訂單

expedite the process加快流程

We appreciate whatever you are able to do in order to help expedite these samples.

expedite 多在郵件中代替accelerate 和speed up. 意思是加快！

I would like your input on it. 這句話是表達(dá)你想問別人對這件事的看法。input 本意是輸入，在這里表示提供信息/建議。

Thanks for your input.感謝您的建議。

we are looking to save some cost on xxx project and one of the ideas brought up by the team was to look at xxx.

我們希望在xxx項(xiàng)目上節(jié)省一些成本，團(tuán)隊(duì)提出的一個想法是考慮xxx.

one thing I'd like to bring up is xxx.

我想提一下xxx

I also brought up a few concerns with Eason about xxx.

我也向Eason提出了一些關(guān)于xxx的問題。

“關(guān)于或提到”，我們經(jīng)常會用mention這個詞，這里用bring up。很多客戶在郵件里會用，表達(dá)更加豐富。

We addressed the quality issue in the meeting.

我們在會議中討論了質(zhì)量問題。

The products address the needs of beginners.

這個產(chǎn)品考慮到了新用戶的需求。

This issue needs to be addressed.

這個問題需要引起注意并解決。

Address, 我們通常理解它的意思是地址，也許你會在郵件中看到客戶用它表達(dá)，它作“考慮，討論（以嘗試解決）”。不承諾一定能解決，語氣更委婉，表示需要引起注意并解決。

固定搭配是address the issue/problem/question/concern.

我們會經(jīng)常用，we are discussing/talking about the project at the meeting.

This issure need to be solved, we need to think how to solve it.

With regard to / regarding.

關(guān)于....的話題，不要用about

We need to be hurry regarding the deadline of this project.

關(guān)于項(xiàng)目截止日期的問題，我們要趕緊了。

We'll have a business trip regarding the quality issue.

因?yàn)楫a(chǎn)品質(zhì)量問題，我們得出差。

Let's disscuss all the bullet points for this contract this afternoon/tonight/tomorrow.

我們今天下午再討論這個合同所有的要點(diǎn)。

bullet points這里指重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容，原意是點(diǎn)。

Issue在郵件里會被老外更多的使用，不像我們經(jīng)常用problem, 表達(dá)更加正式和嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。

I have to highlight the issue that the expiry date is close whereas up to date we didn't finish production.

我必須強(qiáng)調(diào)的問題是，有效期已近，而到目前為止，我們還沒有完成生產(chǎn)。

highlight 在這里表示強(qiáng)調(diào)，要引起注意，在郵件里，如果你想跟對方著重講，或者提醒他的事情，都可以用這個詞。
