My son and his family relocated to Air Force Base in Alaska. In awe of the state's wildlife and natural beauty, they looked forward to their four-year tour. Four months later, I received an e-mail from my 11-year-old granddaughter that stated her opinion pretty clearly. It read “Dear Grandma and Grandpa: It is 24 degrees below zero here today. We have three years and eight months left. I love and miss you. Lisa.”
我兒子一家要換防到阿拉斯加的空軍基地去。他們向往著到那里去旅游四年,欣賞那里的野生動物和自然美景。可是四個月以后,從我11歲的孫女發(fā)來的電子郵件可以清楚地看出她的觀點:“親愛的爺爺奶奶:今天這里是零下二十四度。我們還剩下三年零八個月。我愛你們,想念你們。麗莎”
