post（在…之后）+ script（写）＝签完名后又写的话，即附言；P.S. 就是它的缩写。

Grammar Note
常用缩写P.S.
Pronunciation & Spelling
All the words above share the spelling chunk -script and the final sound /skrɪpt/, so script, manuscript, transcript, typescript, subscript, and superscript rhyme with postscript /ˈpoʊˌskrɪpt/. Beware of useful lookalikes built with post-: post /poʊst/ and postcard /ˈpoʊst.kɑːrd/ do not rhyme because they end in /st/, not /skrɪpt/; in the given pronunciation of postscript, the 't' of 'post' is not sounded.
