A Letter to Sally on Her Birthday給薩利的生日賀信

padding-bottom: 56.25%;">

Dear Sally,

　　Thank you very much for asking me to your birthday party on Saturday evening. I'd love to come, but I have to go to the countryside to see my grandparents. They are very old and not in good health. My mother has already promised to visit them with me this Saturday. And we'll stay there the whole weekends. so I'm really sorry I can't come. I think you can understand.

　　Here I wish you a lot of fun on your birthday, Sally, and many happy returns of the day!

Yours,

Qi Qi

親愛的薩利，

　　謝謝你邀請我星期六晚上參加你的生日聚會。我真想去，可是我不得不去鄉下看望爺爺奶奶。他們上了年紀，身體不好。媽媽已經答應本週六和我去看他們。我們要在那裏呆整個週末。因此我確實很遺憾，不能參加聚會。我想你能理解。

　　在此我祝你生日玩得快樂，薩利，年年有今日，歲歲有今朝。

你的，

欣欣
