Part 2 The Letters of Miss Jerusha Abbott to Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith 第二章 乔若莎•艾伯特小姐给长腿史密斯先生的信 Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College, 亲爱的送孤儿上大学的好心理事： Here I am! I travelled yesterday for four hours in a train. It's a funny sensation, isn't it? I never rode in one before. 我终于到了！昨天搭了4个钟头的火车。心中充满了新奇感，不是吗？我还从来没有坐过火车呢。 College is the biggest, most bewildering place--I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less muddled; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted. 校园真是好大，是很容易把人搞糊涂的地方——我只要一离开房间就会迷路。等我对周围环境熟悉了一些再对您描绘我的校园，并汇报我的功课。现在是星期六晚上，要到下星期一早上才开课。不过我还是想先写封信让我们彼此认识一下。 It seems queer to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems queer for me to be writing letters at all--I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind. 写信给陌生人是件挺奇怪的事。对我来说，写信本来就够奇怪的……我这辈子到现在就写过3封信，要是写得不规范，请您多多原谅。 |
