幾天不練自己知道,別人更知道。好久沒練寫作。今天寫了一封信給舊同事,發出去之前請大家斧正。謝謝。

XXX,

I am glad to learn that everything goes well with you and your family.
 


10 years passed even before we could realize. How scary it is! When I watched the MV and movie that Taotao played as the hero, I was shocked by how fast time flies. He was only 6 when I first saw him, sweet and shy, at an age not much older than my girl is now. Later I was a little excited to see that the little boy grew up into a handsome young man whom I could barely recognize on the screen, but still with the smile that I was once very familiar with.  We don't need to be reminded that we are 10 years older because the next generation could not wait to take over the leading roles!  I could not help feeling sad at the same time. When I met you in the lab for the first time, I was only 21, the same age as Taotao is now. How many ten years can a person have in his/her life? Perhaps, the next time when I wake up, my now 2 and half year old is in college as Taotao is now.I was a little scared by this thought but felt that my girl and I had to be lucky enough to have that day. 

Back to reality now. Although I forgot lots of details in the passed 10 years, I do feel happy and honored that I spent several most important years of my life with you in the group as your student and have witnessed the growth and thriving of our group. I am so proud that I was part of the group and always cherish those good old days we worked together. Regardless of where I am, my heart is always with you and the group.  

As to me, I am not optimistic about the economy and the job market in US. People like my hubby  feel lucky to keep their jobs nowadays.  I almost give up the hope of getting a decent job around where I live with my current resume after months of effort. Now I am taking classes to get a certificate in order to keep myself active in the field. I am also considering learning something new that might help me get a job. But I am not entirely sure which direction I want to go. So, I am taking time to polish my English this summer, both in oral and in written. I have to refine my language skills to ensure my quality life. I will be taking some fun courses at a local community college in the coming fall. Still do not know where to go and what to do next year. The good thing is while my girl is still little, I am lucky to get the chance to spend quality time with her. I am also lucky to have my hu*****and's full support, fiscally and mentally. I am hoping that my staying at home could somewhat enrich the lives of my family.  

 
By the way, have you gotten a chance to watch the MV and movie that Taotao played?  I am totally surprised by how liberal the young generation in China is. Taotao looks glamorous in the movies,shining and sparkling like a real movie star. His face is totally a copy of his Mom. But he has got your nose. Too sad. That is the only part I could find from his face that I could see your genes. I am just kidding! I am just wondering that many years ago, did you also wander around the same campus as a tall and skinny while refined-behavior young student? I just tried hard to put you about 30 years younger back onto the same campus when I watched the movie Taotao played. And I tried to imagine a pure love story between you and your then girlfriend/now wife on campus. Am I right that the girl in the MV and movie is Taotao then girlfriend you mentioned to me last year? She looks hard to control though. I am glad that Taotao made the right decision to finish their relationship. hehe. I know, I am getting a little too talktive. hehe. I shut up now and give you a break. Couldn't help gossiping with you as a terribly bored and isolated middle-aged housewife.

 Take good care of you and your family! Please pass my best wishes and greetings to them.

謝謝老相好,寫作提高太不容易了。太需要功底了。你挑出來的我拿小本本記下了。 -i999- 給 i999 發送悄悄話 i999 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:23:23

“before we could realize”,是不是想表達“不知不覺”--unconciously? -beautifulwind- 給 beautifulwind 發送悄悄話 beautifulwind 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 07:49:15

哦,不地道。realize用得不對。 -非文學青年- 給 非文學青年 發送悄悄話 非文學青年 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 08:12:26

翻譯課的《讀好書》中,有“全然不知不覺”中,用的是unconciously。 -beautifulwind- 給 beautifulwind 發送悄悄話 beautifulwind 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 08:19:39

謝美風。我那課翻譯逃課,損失大啊。 -i999- 給 i999 發送悄悄話 i999 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:24:46

似乎你逃了好幾課了。趕緊歸隊,還來得及。嗬嗬。 -beautifulwind- 給 beautifulwind 發送悄悄話 beautifulwind 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:26:53

好的,好的。這周我徹底有空了。我寫作起點太低,大家多擔待哈。 -i999- 給 i999 發送悄悄話 i999 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:29:20

親愛的,客人打發了?真好! -非文學青年- 給 非文學青年 發送悄悄話 非文學青年 的博客首頁 (35 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:31:56

是!偶激動死了。總算太平了。她有兩個potential onsite interviews 都在東部。正好,她怕麻煩東西飛來飛去 -i999- 給 i999 發送悄悄話 i999 的博客首頁 (71 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 10:06:53

用在這裏不地道嗎? -beautifulwind- 給 beautifulwind 發送悄悄話 beautifulwind 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:25:43

我的意思是,我沒想過用unconsiously,因為逃課了。用在這裏肯定可以的。謝謝美風。 -i999- 給 i999 發送悄悄話 i999 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:28:09

on second thought,那個unconsciously不能用這裏,因為主語是10years -非文學青年- 給 非文學青年 發送悄悄話 非文學青年 的博客首頁 (28 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:49:50

Good point!!! -beautifulwind- 給 beautifulwind 發送悄悄話 beautifulwind 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:59:11

不是,我是說我老相好的那句不地道。對時間過去用不用unconsciously不太確定。 -非文學青年- 給 非文學青年 發送悄悄話 非文學青年 的博客首頁 (56 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:28:42

請教,如果我想說,時間在我們來不及意識到之前已經溜走了,這個怎麽說地道? -i999- 給 i999 發送悄悄話 i999 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:30:36

我說你的那個realize用得不對是因為realize是及物動詞,必須接點東東。 -非文學青年- 給 非文學青年 發送悄悄話 非文學青年 的博客首頁 (35 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 09:47:46

i see! 謝謝老相好。 -i999- 給 i999 發送悄悄話 i999 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2011 postreply 10:04:10
