Another Letter from Miguel
米盖尔的另一封信

Dear Mama,
I can't believe it! I'll be home in a couple of weeks.This has been the greatest vacation I've ever had,My English is pretty good now. I can understand almost everything--except on the phone. I've made many new friends and learned lots of new things. For example,Mama, believe it or not, some Americans spend more hours watching T.V. than working at their jobs. It's true! I read it in an American paper.
I called the Monteros last week. They were very happy to see me. You're right. They have a daughter my age. She is happily married, has two children, and sends her regards, They all send their regards. Mrs. Montero cried when we talked about the people she hasn't seen in years. I felt a little sorry for her. She wants to go back to Colombia for a visit, but I don't think they have the money.
On the brighter side, I'm sending you another photograph of Marta. Don't worry.I'm not going to do anything 'foolish,' but I want you to be able to recognize her.
Love, Miguel

亲爱的妈妈：
我简直不相信，再过两个星期我就要回家了。在我所有的假期中，这次是最名符其实的。现在我的英语相当好。除了在电话中有点困难外，其它的我都能听明白。我交了许多新朋友，学到了许多新东西。比如，妈妈，也许您不信，一些美国人看电视的时间比工作的时间要长的多。这是真的，我是从报纸上看到的。
上星期，我拜访了蒙特罗斯一家。他们见到我很高兴。您说得对，他们有一个女儿和我同岁。她婚姻美满，已经有了两个孩子，她问您好。他们全家都让我代问您好。蒙特罗斯太太听到谈起她几年没见的朋友时都哭了。我觉得有点对不起她。她想回哥伦比亚看看，不过我看他们的钱不够。
正如您所见，我又给您寄了一张玛塔的照片。别担心，我不会干什么“蠢事”，我只想让您能认识她。
爱您的：米盖尔

Yesterday was the opening of the Space Building here at the World's Fair. Many famous scientists, architects, and diplomats were present. There was something for everybody.Messrs. Wood, Glass, and Stone, who are the architects of the building, attended the ceremonies. The building, which looks like a big glass cube, is as modern as its exhibitions.A large crowd listened to the many speeches of the diplomats. Among the listeners was a little boy. He was about seven years old, had curly black hair and big brown eyes, and was eating an ice cream sandwich. "Are you enjoying the speeches?" I asked. "No." he said, "they're boring. ""Then why are you here?" Because it's not as boring as home. "There you have it. Another day at the Fair.

太空馆落成开幕——亨利·利斯采写
昨天世界博览会的太空馆正式开馆接待游客。许多著名的艺术家、建筑师和外交官出席了开馆典礼。该建筑的设计者，伍德、哥拉斯和思脱三位先生参加了开馆仪式。这座建筑象它里面的展品一样现代化。它看起来象一个巨大的玻璃骰子。一大群人听了外交官们的贺词。人群中有一个小男孩，大约七岁，他有着一头卷曲的黑发和一双褐色的大眼睛，嘴里吃着一块冰激凌三明治。“你喜欢这些讲话吗？”我问道。“不喜欢，”他说，“他们使人讨厌。”那你为什么还呆在这儿？”“因为这儿和家里的讨厌事不一样。”你会明白孩子的意思。在博览会又过了一天。
