A letter to her son
写给儿子的信
Dear Son,
亲爱的儿子：
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.
我在慢慢地给你写信，因为我知道你看信看不快。我们已经不住在你走的时候那个地方了。你爸爸看报纸上说大多数交通事故都发生在离家20英里的距离内，所以我们就搬家了。我现在不能告诉你我们的地址，因为原来住在这里的那家把门牌号拿到他们的新家去了，这样他们就不需要换地址了。今天早上你姐姐生了一个孩子。我还不知道是男孩还是女孩。所以也不知道你是当了阿姨还是舅舅。这个星期只下了两次雨，第一次下了三天，第二次下了四天。如果你收不到这封信，请你告诉我。我再给你写一封。
Love, Mum
爱你的妈妈
