親愛的長腿叔叔：
Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

我真喜歡大學(xué)，也喜歡您，因?yàn)槭悄屛疫M(jìn)大學(xué)的。我實(shí)在是非常、非常高興，以前我作夢(mèng)也想不到世界上會(huì)有「大學(xué)」這麼可愛的地方。

I really like college, and I like you because it was you who made it possible for me to go to college. I am really, really happy! Before, even in my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined that there could be such a wonderful place as "college.

我的房間在樓上，同一層樓還住著另外三個(gè)女孩，一個(gè)是四年級(jí)的學(xué)姊，另外兩個(gè)和我一樣是新生莎莉·馬克白和茱莉亞·平萊頓。據(jù)說茱莉亞還是來自紐約名門呢，不過我們還沒碰過面。

"My room is upstairs. Three girls live on the same floor with me. One is a senior and the other two are freshmen like meSallie McBride and Julia Pendleton. One says that Julia is from a famous family in New York, but we haven't met yet.

由於單人房很少，通常新生都不能住單人房，可是我卻非常幸運(yùn)，居然能住到單人房。我的房間在西北角，有兩扇窗子，窗外的景色很美。

Because there are not many single rooms, freshmen cannot normally live in a single. I, however, was lucky and so I am able to live in a single. My room is in the northwest corner of the building and I have two windows. The scenery outside is beautiful.

十八年來我都是和二十二個(gè)同伴一起住在一個(gè)大房間里，現(xiàn)在居然可以一個(gè)人一間房，我覺得自己實(shí)在是太幸福了！

For 18 years I have been living with 22 other girls in the same big room. Now, having a room all to myself is really such a great feeling!

學(xué)校正在組織新鮮人籃球隊(duì)，我打算報(bào)名叁加。我雖然個(gè)子比較小，可是很多人都說我很敏捷，也夠剽悍。我喜歡和同伴們?cè)谶\(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)上跑來跑去，感覺大家都是快樂的女孩，而我更是其中最快樂的。
您忠實(shí)的潔茹

The school is now organizing a freshman basketball team and I plan to join. Although I am relatively short, many people say that I am nimble and agile enough to make up for my height. I really enjoy running around with the others on the athletic field. It feels like we are all just one big group of happy girls, and I am the happiest one of all.
Sincerely,
Jerusha
