【答案解析】[范文]
Dear Jane,
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I have lost the novel you were so kind to lend me last week. I read it every day and planned to finish it next week. However, when I came back home last evening, I couldn"t find it.
I will buy a new one for you. But I and afraid it Can never replace the old one. Old books are like old friends. Once lost they Can never be replaced. They are connected with cherished associations which the new ones can never have. And for this irrecoverable loss. I feel really sorry.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Lin
