Complaint About Noise
June 18, 2014
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am your neighbor living downstairs in the same building. I am writing you to complain of the noise you make during the night.
Recently the noise during the night disturbed my rest. Almost every night, there comes some noise from your apartment just as I go to bed and am on my way to a dream. I wonder what the noise is. Are you repairing your furniture? Are you doing physical exercises? Whatever you do at that time of the night, you have to take your neighbors' rest into consideration. In a word, you are disturbing both your other neighbors and me.
I heard you are always a friendly and considerate neighbor. Please stop making noise at night. Thank you. Take care.
Yours friendly neighbor

译文赏析
噪音投诉信
亲爱的先生/女士:
我是住在您同一栋楼楼下的邻居。我写信来是因为您在夜间发出的噪音。
最近,您夜里发出的噪音打扰了我的休息。几乎每个晚上,当我刚刚躺上床或正要入睡时,您的公寓总会传来一些噪音。我真奇怪这声音是怎么来的。您是在修理家具吗?还是在锻炼身体?但不管您在夜里的那个时间做什么,您必须考虑到邻里们的休息。总之,您打扰了我和其他的邻居。
我听说您一直都是一位十分友好、善解人意的邻居。请不要在夜间制造噪音。谢谢。保重!
您的友邻
