【笑話原文】

A Letter to Her Son

Dear Son,

I’m writing this slow because I know you can’t read fast. We don’t live where we did when you left. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we moved. Won’t be able to send you the address as the last family that lived here took the numbers with them for their new house, so they wouldn’t have to change their address. Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven’t found out whether it is a boy or a girl. So don’t know if you are an Aunt or Uncle. It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and four days the second time. If you don’t get this letter, please let me know and I will send another one.

Love, Ma

【中文譯文】

給兒子的信

親愛的兒子：

我在慢慢地給你寫信，因為我知道你看信不快。我們已經(jīng)不住在你走的時候那個地方了。你爸爸看報紙上說大多數(shù)交通事故都發(fā)生在離家20英里的距離內(nèi)，所以我們就搬家了。我現(xiàn)在不能告訴你我們的地址，因為原來住在這里的那家把門牌號拿到他們的新家去了，這樣他們就不需要換地址了。今天早上你姐姐生了一個孩子。我還不知道是男孩還是女孩。所以也不知道你是當了阿姨還是舅舅。這個星期只下了兩次雨，第一次下了三天，第二次下了四天。如果你收不到這封信，請你告訴我。我再給你寫一封。

愛你的媽媽

【詞匯講解】

1. “Won’t be able to send you the address as the last family”這里的as表示原因。

2.last上一個。也可以指 “最不可能的, 最不合適的”：She is the last wife in the world for a farmer.她最不適宜作農(nóng)夫的妻子。

3.find out發(fā)現(xiàn)。也有“使受懲罰”的意思： His sins will find him out.他為非作歹, 不會有好下場。

4. “whether it is a boy or a girl”這里it代指baby，用代詞指嬰兒時可以用it。
