A Letter|给影响你最深的老师的一封信

简 函 范 文：

April 8, 2010

Dear Mr. Lawrence,

The last time we saw each other was at the high school reunion two years ago. Since then, we've lost touch. How have you been? A friend told me that you retired early due to health problems. When I heard this, I was astonished. As I remember, you were always quite healthy and energetic. I hope you get well soon.

The reason I am writing is because I can never thank you enough for all you have done for me. Back in high school, I was one of those students who never took much interest in my studies. I always fooled around and caused trouble. Most of the students would avoid me, while a lot of the teachers just ignored me altogether. It was you who never gave up on me. You encouraged me to be a better person, and for that, I am forever indebted to you. I hope we will meet again in the future.

Sincerely,

Carlos Lopez

亲爱的劳伦斯老师：

　　我们最后一次见面是两年前参加校友会的事了。从那时起，我们便失去联络。您还好吗？一位朋友告诉我，您因为健康问题提早退休。听到这消息时，我感到很讶异。在我记忆中，您总是非常健康、精力充沛。希望您身体能快点好起来。

　　我写这封信的原因是，我非常感谢您为我所做的一切。高中时，我是那群对念书没有什么兴趣的学生之一。我总是到处鬼混，惹事生非。大部分学生对我敬而远之，而许多老师则完全忽略我的存在。只有您对我不曾言弃。您鼓励我成为更好的人，而这也是我永远感激您的原因。希望以后我们还能再见面。

您的学生

卡洛斯罗培兹　敬上
