賴世雄英語(yǔ)書信通Unit 67：告訴友人在美求學(xué)生活近況函

October 9, 2005

Dear Yulin,

Once again, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to write you back. My classes are going well; I’m having less trouble understanding my professors. But we have tests coming up soon, and I’m not very confident about my English writing ability.

My roommate is okay; she’s a little bit picky about some things, like keeping the place clean, but we get along all right. The student association organizes dances and parties. I’ve met a few guys at them, but none that I’m really interested in. Anyway, I don’t necessarily have to date Taiwanese guys, do I? I need to make some American friends, too. But for now I’m too busy with schoolwork to think about finding a boyfriend.

Well, I’ve got to go do some reading, so I’ll end this letter here. Let me know how you are doing.

Sincerely,

Julie

親愛(ài)的玉琳：

再次的抱歉這么久才回你的信。我的功課還不錯(cuò);現(xiàn)在對(duì)了解教授上課講的話較沒(méi)有問(wèn)題了。不過(guò)我們即將要考試，而我對(duì)我的英文寫作能力并不很有信心。

我的室友不錯(cuò);但是她對(duì)一些事情有點(diǎn)挑剔，像保持房間整潔啦，不過(guò)我們相處得很好。學(xué)生會(huì)舉辦跳舞和派對(duì)。我在那些場(chǎng)合遇到了不少人，不過(guò)并沒(méi)有我真正感到有趣的。反正，我不一定要和臺(tái)灣男孩子約會(huì)，是不是?我也須交一些美國(guó)朋友。但目前我功課太忙了，因此不想去找男朋友。

好了，我必須去讀些書了，就此擱筆。寫封信讓我知道你的近況吧。

茱莉　敬上
