re

【1】关于

原为拉丁语，相当于regarding，concerning或about。旧式书信中多用于表示“事由”。

【例】Re: Electric Fans

事由：电扇

此用法已陈旧，现多改为：

Subject: Electric Fans

如信的内容简单，信的开始第一句可说明信的大意时，整个“事由”这一部分也可省略不写。

【2】in re关于

此为旧式书信中陈腐的用语。

【例】In re your request of August 3, we would say we cannot give you a definite reply.

关于你方8月3日信中要求，我们不能给予确切的回答。
