A short way of writing 'with regard to' — that is, 'about this thing' or 'concerning this thing'. You use it to tell the reader which topic you are now answering: 'WRT your question about the price, we can offer 10% off.' It belongs to typing, not to speaking.
A short way of writing 'with regard to''with regard to' 的簡寫——that is, 'about this thing' or 'concerning this thing'也就是「關於這件事」的意思。You use it to tell the reader which topic you are now answering你用它告訴讀者你現在要回答哪個主題:'WRT your question about the price, we can offer 10% off.'『WRT your question about the price, we can offer 10% off.』(關於你問的價格問題,我們可以打九折)It belongs to typing, not to speaking這是打字用的,不是用來說的。
Nobody says the letters out loud in a meeting; it lives in email, chat, forums and text messages, where people are saving . It is often written in small letters too — 'wrt'.
Nobody says the letters out loud in a meeting沒有人會在會議上把這幾個字母唸出來;it lives in email, chat, forums and text messages它只出現在電子郵件、聊天、論壇和簡訊裡, where people are saving keystrokes這些地方大家都想少打幾個字。It is often written in small letters too — 'wrt'它也常常用小寫寫成『wrt』。
The feeling is a strange mix: 'with regard to' by itself is quite formal office English, but cutting it down to three letters makes it casual, so WRT sits best in quick internal messages between colleagues who know each other, not in a careful letter to a customer or a professor. Some people also expand it as 'with respect to', which in this use means the same thing.
The feeling is a strange mix這個字的語感有點矛盾:'with regard to' by itself is quite formal office English『with regard to』本身是很正式的辦公室英文,but cutting it down to three letters makes it casual但縮成三個字母就變得隨性了,so WRT sits best in quick internal messages between colleagues who know each other所以 WRT 最適合用在熟識同事之間快速的內部訊息裡,not in a careful letter to a customer or a professor而不是寫給客戶或教授的正式信件。Some people also expand it as 'with respect to'有些人也會把它還原成『with respect to』, which in this use means the same thing在這個用法裡意思一樣。
In careful writing, just write 'about', 'regarding' or 'on'.
In careful writing, just write 'about', 'regarding' or 'on'寫正式文章時,直接寫『about』、『regarding』或『on』就好。
組成The first letters of With ReGard To — an initialism made by squeezing a three-word phrase into three letters. Note it takes the W, R and T, not the first letter of every word.
