亲爱的陈先生:几天前收到了你的邮包,这使我非常感动。我和我的全家都要谢谢你。感谢你关心我们的食品需求,很遗憾我们眼下仍不得不为此操心。尤其是我那六个分别住在巴黎和普瓦蒂埃的孙儿们,他们将津津有味地享用由祖父的最好学生从美国送来的美味的可可。那些大一些的孩子将会饶有兴趣地得知这位年轻的数学家出生于中国,这对他们将是一堂生动的世界地理课。 Dear Mr. Chen: I was very touched when I received your parcel a few days ago. Thank you, my family and I. Thank you for taking care of our food needs, and we regret that we still have to worry about it now. Especially my six grandchildren who live in Paris and Poitiers respectively, who will enjoy the delicious cacao brought from the United States by the best of his grandfather’s students. The older children will be intrigued to learn that the young mathematician was born in China, and that this will be a vivid world geography lesson for them.
