今天我们来一起学习一下这样一个表达，叫做：address sth. (to sb./sth.)，可以理解成：“写给某个人收”，“寄给某个人”这样的意思；下面我们来看看对应的英文解释：

to write the name and address of a particular person or organization on an envelope, package, etc.

或者再来看这条英文解释：If a letter, envelope, or parcel is addressed to you, your name and address have been written on it.

而且这个用法中，我们很经常用到被动语态的结构。

eg: Would you help me address these envelopes?

你能帮我写一下这些信封的收件人和寄件人吗？

eg: This letter is addressed to Alice.

这封信是寄给爱丽丝的。

eg: The letter was correctly addressed, but delivered to the wrong house.

这封信地址写对了，但是却被投递到了错误的房子。

eg: Address your application to the Personnel Manager.

请将你的申请信寄给人事部经理。

eg: So why did you open a letter that was addressed to me?

那你为什么拆开写着我名字的信？
