友人彼此打听借款者底细函

September 17, 2005 Dear Richard, Long time no see.I hope all is well with you.I understand Harry recently asked you to lend him some money but you turned him down.I know, because he wrote me and asked to borrow the money from me.I lent it to him, but with some misgivings because it was a pretty large sum.I’ll admit his promise of an interest payment of $2,500

helped persuade me.He said you told him you couldn’t afford to lend him the money, but he didn’t seem convinced.I have to say I find it hard to believe, too, because I know you are as well off as I am, if not more so.But perhaps you had some other reason for not wanting to lend him anything.If you have reason to believe I may not get my money

back, by all means let me know.Sincerely, Timothy White 亲爱的理查：

很久没见了。希望你一切安好。我知道哈利最近曾要求你借给他一些钱，但你拒绝他了。我知道这件事是因为他写信给我向我借钱。我把钱借给他了，但心里却有些不安，因为那是一笔钜额的金钱。我承认他答应要付我两千五百元利息，这件事说服了我把钱借给他。他说你告诉他，你没钱借给他，不过他好象不相信。我必须说，我也不相信，因为我知道纵使你不比我富裕，起码也像我一样有钱。但也许你有其它某个不想借钱给他的理由吧。如果你有理由相信我无法拿回我的钱的话，一定要让我知道。提摩西‧怀特 敬上 2005年9月17日 字词解说：

告诉友人借钱者底细函

September 27, 2005 Dear Timothy, I hate to break this to you, but I wouldn’t count on getting your money back anytime soon.He offered you US$2,500 in interest, eh? That’s $500 more than he offered me.He must have been getting desperate.What I hear is that Harry has a gambling problem.He probably wanted some of the money to pay off a debt and the rest to put down on a new bet.Sorry I couldn’t warn you in time.Well, what’s done is done.There’s always a chance his luck will turn and he really will make a fortune.I hope so, for your sake.Sincerely, Richard Wilson 亲爱的提摩西：

我实在不想对你讲这件事情，但我不指望你能很快拿回你的钱。他要给你两千五百元美金的利息，是吗？那比他原本要给我的多五百元。他必定已是走头无路了。我所听到的是哈利有赌博的毛病。他可能是想用这笔钱中的一部分去偿债务，而剩下来的钱则拿去做新的赌注。抱歉我没有及早警告你。反正事情都已发生了。他总会时来运转而真的发大财。为了你好，我希望如此。理查‧威尔森 敬上 2005年9月27日 字词解说：

向友人告知旅游近况函

February 28, 2005 Dear Joyce, I just arrived in New Delhi yesterday.During my last week in Nepal, I went to a town west of Katmandu which is very close to the Himalayas.It’s really incredible to be able to walk out of a hotel in the morning and see snow-covered, 25,000-foot high mountains.I can’t imagine what it would be like to climb one!

As I just mentioned, I flew into India yesterday.I haven’t had much time to look around yet, but one first impression I got was that this is a really crowded place.It’s not hard to believe that there are over a billion people in this country.This morning I went to the big mosque and fort in Old Delhi.They are pretty impressive.They had some great architects in those days.I’ll be in India for two weeks, and then I’ll fly back to Bangkok.I’m looking forward to picking up your letter(s).Sincerely, Vincent 亲爱的乔依丝：

我昨天刚到新德里。上星期我在尼泊尔时到加德满都西边一个临近喜马拉雅山脉的城镇。在早晨走出饭店时能看到两万五千英尺高覆盖着白雪的山实在是非常令人难以置信。我简直无法想象去爬上一座山会是什么样子！

我刚才提到，我昨天已飞抵印度。我还没有很多时间去四处看看，但我所得到的第一印象是这里真的很拥挤。这个国家有十亿多的人口并不难想象。今天早上我去了旧德里一座很大的清真寺和一座堡垒。它们真的是令人印象深刻。当时的印度有一些很杰出的建筑师。我会在印度待两星期，之后就会搭机回曼谷。我很期待接到你的来信。文森 敬上 2005年2月28日 字词解说：

向友人报告初抵美国函

August 20, 2005 Dear Yulin, Here I am in America!Everything is so big and spread out.The streets seem empty because they are so wide.Los Angeles is a huge city in terms of area;it takes forever to drive from one side to the other.But it’s not nearly as crowded as Taipei.Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to get around without a car, so it’s no wonder there is a lot of smog.The people I have met so far have been very friendly, though I get really nervous talking to them.I don’t feel like my English is good enough yet.Everyone talks so fast!I hope I can get used to it.My host family is very nice to me.I’ll probably feel homesick after I’ve been here longer, but right now I’m too excited.Sincerely, Julie Chen 亲爱的玉琳：

我现在就在美国！一切都又大又分散。马路看来很空旷，因为它们太宽敞了。就面积来看，洛杉矶是个大城市；从一边开到另一边须要花非常久的时间。但是它一点儿也不像台北那样拥挤。不幸地是，没车就想到处走走几乎是不可能的，所以难怪会烟雾沵漫。

到目前为止，我所遇到的人都很友善，但是我在和他们说话时都很紧张。我觉得我的英文尚不够好。每个人讲话都非常快！希望我能习惯它。我寄宿的家庭对我很好。来这里久后，我可能会想家，不过，我现在却是兴奋得不得了。陈茱莉 敬上 2005年8月20日 字词解释：

向友人再次告知旅游近况函

February 18, 2005 Dear Joyce, As you can see from the postmark, I’m now in Nepal.Katmandu is a really cool place.There are a lot of narrow, winding streets, ancient temples, and even cows wandering around.It’s like I’ve gone back in time.Of course, even here they have cars and Coca-Cola, but a lot of things don’t seem to have changed in centuries.The people are interesting, too.Since Nepal is a poor country, it’s not surprising that there are a lot of beggars.There are also holy men called sadhus who wear colorful clothes and wander about asking for alms.The other day I spent an hour sitting on the steps of a temple watching people pass by.My next stop is India.I’ll write you from there in a week or two.Sincerely, Vincent 亲爱的乔依丝：

你可以在邮戳上看到，我现在正在尼泊尔。加德满都真是一个很棒的地方。有很多窄而曲折的街道、古老的庙宇，甚至还有母牛四处走动。我仿佛回到了过去。当然连这里也看得到汽车和可口可乐，但许多事物似乎好几个世纪以来都没有改变过。

这里的人也十分有趣。因为尼泊尔是一个贫穷的国家，所以有很多乞丐并不令人感到意外。另外也有很多身着华美衣裳称为圣人的宗教人士到处化缘。前几天，我在一座庙宇的台阶上坐了一小时观察来往的人群。

我下一站要到印度。
