Lesson 22 A glass envelope

玻璃信封

First listen and then answer the question: How did Jane receive a letter from a stranger?

My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland.

我的女儿简从未想过会接到荷兰一位同龄姑娘的来信。

Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle.

去年,当我们横渡英吉利海峡时,简把写有她姓名和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子。

She threw the bottle into the sea.

她又将瓶子扔进了大海。

She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland.

此后她就再没去想那只瓶子。但 10 个月以后,她收到了荷兰一位姑娘的来信。

Both girls write to each other regularly now.

现在这两位姑娘定期通信了。

However, they have decided to use the post office.

然而她们还是决定利用邮局。

Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

这样会稍微多花点钱,但肯定是快得多了。
