Notice: Office Relocation
We are pleased to announce that our headquarters will move to a new building on Maple Street on March 15. The new office, which is located near the central train station, is larger and brighter than our current one.
The building offers a spacious lobby, a modern cafeteria, and several meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology. Because the site is close to public transportation, your daily commute should become much easier.
To make the move smooth, all staff are asked to pack their personal belongings before the deadline of March 12. Each department will receive labeled boxes from the facility team by March 8. Please write your name and floor number on every box so that nothing is lost during the move.
The elevators may be crowded on moving day, so employees are encouraged to arrive early. If you have any questions about the relocation, please contact the facility team at extension 240. Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to welcoming you to our new home.

句子结构
把关键句子按意义单位切分,观察各部分的作用。
The new office, which is located near the central train station, is larger and brighter than our current one.
主语The new office主语(新办公室)
从句, which is located near the central train station,关系从句(逗号插入补充)
谓语is主句谓语
补语larger and brighter比较级补语
修饰than our current one比较对象(than~)
在主语「The new office」和主句谓语「is」之间,插入了用逗号隔开的关系从句「which is located ...」来补充说明主语。若像括号一样暂时跳过这个插入从句,主干「The office is larger and brighter than ...」就清晰可见。读长英文句的关键是先把主语和谓语连起来。
Please write your name and floor number on every box so that nothing is lost during the move.
谓语Please write祈使句动词(省略you)
宾语your name and floor number宾语(and 连接两名词)
修饰on every box地点状语
连接so that目的连接(so that)
从句nothing is lost during the move目的从句(被动 is lost)
因为是祈使句,主语「you」被省略,句子以动词「write」开头。「so that + 从句」表示目的(为使……),其中「nothing is lost」是被动语态(be + 过去分词),意为「什么都不会丢失」。英语按动词、宾语、地点、目的的顺序叠加信息。
