Dear Dan,
Thanks so much for the books. I started reading one as soon as I got it and I’m already a third of the way through. I’m enjoying it very much.
My injury was really my own fault. When I play basketball, I sometimes get a little too enthusiastic, and that’s what caused my injury. A guy from the other team had the ball, and was about to take a shot. I was really too far away, but I still tried to jump in front of him and block the shot. When I came down, I landed on my ankle. But the shot went in anyway.
Now I have to stay in bed for a month. When my ankle is better, I may try to play basketball again, but I’ll certainly play more cautiously!
Thanks again for the books. Write me again when you have time.
Sincerely yours,
Tom Black
親愛(ài)的丹:
非常謝謝你寄來(lái)的這些書(shū)。我一拿到一本就開(kāi)始看了,現(xiàn)在已看三分之一。我非常喜歡它。
我受傷實(shí)在是我自己的錯(cuò)。我打籃球時(shí),有時(shí)會(huì)太過(guò)于狂熱,就是那樣才使我受傷。當(dāng)對(duì)方的一個(gè)隊(duì)員準(zhǔn)備投籃時(shí),我實(shí)際上是離他很遠(yuǎn),但我仍然想在他前面跳起來(lái)并給他一個(gè)火鍋。就在我跌倒時(shí),我的腳踝著地了。而那球還是被投了進(jìn)去。
現(xiàn)在我必須臥床一個(gè)月。在我的腳踝較好后,我仍想再打籃球,但是我必定會(huì)更小心的打球!
再次謝謝你的書(shū)。若有空請(qǐng)?jiān)賹?xiě)信給我。
湯姆?布雷克 敬上
