Greetings From Home 來自家鄉的問候 |
My dear Cindy, I just wanted you to know how proud we all are. It seems like just yesterday you went to go study overseas. I can't believe that was four years ago. Congratulations and we're all thinking of you, even Mittens. I gave
him a big bone to celebrate the event.
I asked daddy if we could come and see your big day. He said it would be too expensive. Good thing you're coming home in a few months, anyway! Don't forget to bring back presents. Mom says that Germany has the best gummy bears in the world.
I remember when you first told me you wanted to be a scientist. That was about ten years ago, and now you're making your dream come true. Please make sure that someone takes a few pictures of the ceremony. Remember to show everyone your wonderful smile. And most important of all: enjoy your moment in the spotlight. You've earned it!
親愛的辛蒂,我只是想告訴妳,我們全家都好以妳為榮。妳出國留學似乎只是昨天的事,但真不敢相信已經四年了。恭喜妳畢業,我們都好想妳,米特恩也是喔。我給了牠一根
大骨頭來共襄盛舉。
我問老爸我們是不是能去見證妳的大日子,他說旅費會太貴。不過還好妳過幾個月就回家啦!別忘了帶禮物回來囉,老媽說德國的甘貝熊軟糖最好吃了。
還記得之前妳告訴我妳想當科學家,那已經差不多是十年前的事了,現在的妳等於美夢成真。妳一定要託人幫妳拍幾張畢業典禮的照片,記得秀出妳那燦爛的笑容。最重要的是:好好享受備受矚目的那一刻,因為妳實至名歸!
