A Letter from Mom
媽媽寫來的信
Dear Son,
親愛的兒子
I'm writing this slow 'cause I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you first left. Your Dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address as the last family here took the numbers with them for their next house, so they wouldn't have to change their address. This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in, pulled the chain, and I haven't seen 'em since. It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and four days this time. The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt Susan said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with the heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. About your sister, she had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it's a girl or a boy, so I didn't know if you are an Aunt or an Uncle. Not much more news this time, write soon.
我這么慢才寫信給你是因為知道你也讀不快。我們不住在你第一次離開時的地方了。你爸爸從報紙上讀到一篇報道說大多數(shù)事故都是發(fā)生在家周圍方圓20英里的范圍內(nèi)，所以我們搬家了。我不能告訴你地址，因為原來住在這里的那家人為了不改變地址而把門牌號帶走了。這地方有臺洗衣機，第一天我放了四件襯衣進去，開動機器，我就再沒見過我的襯衣了。這個星期只下了兩次雨，第一次下了三天，第二次下了四天。至于你想讓我寄給你的那件大衣，你的蘇珊姨媽說上面的扣子太重了，不好郵寄，所以我把扣子都剪下來放在了大衣兜里。至于你的妹妹，她今天早上生了個小孩，我們還不知道是男孩還是女孩，所以我還不清楚你會做阿姨還是叔叔。沒有更多的新消息了，以后再寫。
Love, Mom
愛你的，媽媽
P.S. Was going to send you money, but the envelope was already sealed.
又及：想給你寄錢來著，可是信封已經(jīng)封死了。
