How do you pronounce it?
qǐng cháshōu fùjiàn
Did you know?
- In some high-level corporate environments, the phrase 呈上 is used instead of 请查收 when sending an attachment to a superior, as it literally means 'to present upwards'.
- In traditional Chinese letter writing, the equivalent of 'attached' often used 随函, which literally means 'following the letter'.
- While English speakers use 'find' in 'please find attached', using the literal translation of 'find' in Chinese, 找到, would sound quite strange and unnatural in an email. It would imply the attachment was lost and you are helping the recipient locate it.
