第91期:处理邮件

As a way of coping with the mails while they were away, the Johnsons asked the cleaning lady to send little printed slips asking the senders to write again later.

译文：

作为不在家时处理邮件的一种方式，约翰逊一家请清洁女工把印好的小纸条寄给写信人，让他们以后再写。

点睛：

介词as引导的是句子的状语，其中while引导的是时间状语从句。现在分词短语asking...作slips的后置定语。cope with意为“处理，应付”；ask sb. to do sth.意为“让某人做某事”。
