信 letter [英]['letə(r)] [美][ˈlɛtɚ]中英文小故事:给上帝的信 两周以来,萨米每天都祷告,求神给他100美元。 当他没有回应,他认为写一封信给上帝是个好主意。 邮局接到这封信,上面写给“上帝,洛杉矶”。他们决定最好把信交给市长。市长读这封信,觉得它很可爱,所以他让他的秘书给小男孩10美元,他想,对于一个小男孩,那是一大笔钱。 萨米收到钱的时候,非常激动,立刻坐下来写一封感谢信。 “亲爱的上帝,”他写道,“非常感谢你寄来的钱。我猜,这是可以预料的。但我想,你应该知道:当你寄来的钱通过市政府,政府扣除了90美元。” Sammy prayed every night for two weeks, asking God for $100. When he got no response, he thought it would be a good idea to write to God and see if that worked. The post office received the letter addressed to “God, Los Angeles.” They decided that it would be best to just forward the letter to the mayor. The mayor read the letter and thought it was cute, so he asked his secretary to send the boy $10, thinking the boy would think that was a lot of money for a little boy. When Sammy got the money, he was so excited that he sat down immediately to write a thank-you letter. “Dear God,” he wrote, “Thank you very much for the money you sent. I guess it is to be expected but I thought you should know this: When you sent it through City Hall, the government deducted $90.” 中英文例句 I had received a letter from a very close friend. 我收到一个很要好的朋友的来信。 ...a letter of resignation... 辞职信 Our long courtship had been conducted mostly by letter. 我俩长期的恋爱过程基本上靠的是书信。 What's the postage for this letter? 这封信的邮资是多少? The first letter is given. 第一个字母已经给出。 |
