Lesson 22 A glass envelope 玻璃信封TextHow did Jane receive a letter from a stranger?My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girlof her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post office.

去年，当我们横渡英吉利海峡时，简把写有她姓名和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子，又将瓶子扔进了大海。
此后她就再没去想那只瓶子。
但10个月以后，她收到了荷兰一位姑娘的来信。
现在这两位姑娘定期通信了。
然而她们还是决定利用邮局。
这样会稍微多花点钱，但肯定是快得多了。
