Dear Tom,

How have you been? I haven't heard from you since the earthquake. I learned from the news that Japan has suffered a lot from the recent earthquake that caused a tsunami, which ruined several reactors at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima and led to radiation leaks. Tens of thousands of people have died, and many survivors are now living in fear. While watching the news, I felt sorry for all the hardships you and your countrymen have had to experience.

I can understand how you must feel because I lived through the 921 earthquake in Taiwan over 10 years ago. I couldn't sleep during the nights following the initial quake because of the aftershocks. Then I remembered a proverb, "After a storm comes a calm." It was this saying that gave me the courage to get through that difficult period. I hope the same proverb can also help you. If you need anything, just let me know and I will do my best. Always remember that misery does eventually come to an end and that tomorrow will be better.

Love,

Susan

亲爱的汤姆：

　　最近好吗？我从地震发生后就没收到你的任何只字词组。我从新闻得知日本在最近的地震中损失惨重，地震引起的海啸使福岛核电厂数具反应炉受损，导致辐射外泄。数万人在灾难中身亡，许多幸存者至今仍生活在恐惧中。看到这些新闻，我对你和你的同胞必须经历这所有苦难深感遗憾。

　　我能了解你的感觉，因为 10 多年前我同样熬过了台湾的 921大地震。最初地震发生后的几个夜晚，我因为余震而难以入眠。之后我想起『否极泰来』这句谚语。就是这句谚语给我度过难关的勇气。我希望这句话也能对你有帮助。如果你需要任何东西，请让我知道，我会尽一切力量送到你手上。请记得悲惨的日子终将过去，明天会是更美好的一天。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　诚挚的

苏珊　敬上
