NIKKY: what’s been the response from people? I mean, the e-book has been released for how long? (这本书在网上发表多久了?)
BRIAN: about two and half months, and I’m getting 200 letters a week, nikky, from people all over China.
【注】对于那些热情的网友的来信,我在心底里感激!
NIKKY: who want to know what? (他们都是谁呀,想知道什么?)
【注】如果把括号里的中文翻译回去的话就变成了“who are they, what do they want to know?”显然没有nikky说的简单明了。
BRIAN: most of them want to know---- first, they’re saying thank u, thanks for putting english chatting records online, second, they want to know about me, and then u, nikky, 10-year-old to teenagers and 60-year-olds
【注】记录登出以后,我收到了无数网友的来信,从10岁的小孩到60岁的老人,大家都有一个共同的问题-----怎样把英语学好。
NIKKY: what the 10-year-old say to u?
BRIAN: they say thank u for at last introducing me to use icq
NIKKY::)
BRIAN::)
NIKKY: do u write them back? (你回信么?)
BRIAN: yes.
NIKKY: u have the time?
BRIAN: yes, the first thing I got to do is to write them back
NIKKY: and what do they say?
BRIAN: they are asking how to study english---I hate to be almost predictable(可预言的) about this---- but I got to tell them that to learn english well, u got to communicate just like Brian & Nikky, I mean, communication, whether online or offline.
NIKKY: that’s true
