商务英语 — deadline：停服日不是「近期」
deadline 是写明了后果的日期。recently completed 没有日子。expected to close 还没交割。
作者：天使投资人雷欧
释义
deadline：到了就会发生写明后果的日期。TraeWork 的 10 月 23 日是 deadline：服务停止，未升级者无法继续使用。
A reported round with no closing date is not a deadline.
Expected to close by year-end is a target, not a completed acquisition.
例句
The service deadline is October 23. Users who do not upgrade will lose access.
The article says the round was recently completed. It does not give a closing date.
An all-stock deal that still needs approval has not closed.
- ✓ sunset / end of service：停止服务
- ✓ recently：近期，不是某一个日历日
- ✓ expected to close：预计完成
- ✓ regulatory approval：监管批准
点评
路演里说 we just closed，下一问是 the closing date。答不出日子，就改成 the report says recently。
练习
把这句写成英文：10月23日TraeWork停止服务；4亿元融资只说了近期完成，没有交割日。
参考：TraeWork ends service on October 23. The RMB 400 million round is described as recently completed, with no closing date.
今天就能做的一件事
英文纪要里，每个日期后面标 deadline、recently 或 expected。标不成 deadline 的，不要写已经发生。

常见问题
recently 能不能写成 today's close？
不能。recently 只说明说话人认为事情离现在不远。没有日期、没有回单，就不能叫 a closed round on October 9。
