30 A Letter
Dear Jane，
I have been in England for three months now. I hope you don't think I've forgotten you. There have been so many things to see that I've not had much time for writing letters.
I shall soon be starting my studies at King's College．So far I've been learning about England and British ways of living．I won't tell you about London．There are plenty of books you can read and a lot of pictures you can look at．
I'm sure you'll be more interested to know what I think about life here，
I find some of the customs new and interesting．People here do not shake hands as much as we do in Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because
people did not put out their hands when I met them． Men raise their hats to women but not to each other．
Yours truly
Rose
一封信
亲爱的简：
我已在英格兰呆了三个月了。希望你不要以为我把你忘了。只是事情太多，我没时间给你写信。
我很快就要开始在国王大学学习了。迄今为止，我一直在学习英格兰和不列颠的生活方式。我不想向你介绍伦敦。你可以读到许多关于它的书和看到很多有关它的图片。
我想关于我对这里的生活的看法，你会更有兴趣。
我发现了一些新奇有趣的习俗。这里的人们不像我们欧洲人那样爱握手。在我来这儿的头几个星期里，我很惊讶人们见到我并不伸出手来（握手）。男士们向女士们脱帽敬礼，但他们之间却不这样做。
你忠实的朋友
罗斯
