Lesson 22:A glass envelope   玻璃信封

    First listen and then answer the question.
    听录音，然后回答以下问题。
    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.
    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.
    She threw the bottle into the sea.
She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland.
Both girls write to each other regularly now.
However, they have decided to use the post office.
Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

参考译文

    我的女儿简从未想过会接到荷兰一位同龄姑娘的来信。
    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，又将瓶子扔进了大海。
    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。
    现在这两位姑娘定期通信了。然而她们还是决定利用邮局。这样会稍微多花点钱，但肯定是快得多了。
