Dear Linghu Chong,
Thank you very much for those three wonderful days in your house! Every moment was a delight. I can't remember having ever enjoyed myself so thoroughly elsewhere.
I'd like to tell you again how much I enjoyed the weekend in Chengdu. Everything was just perfect: the weather, the company, the beautiful surroundings. No wonder I find it difficult to get down to studying this morning! Compared with Chengdu, the classroom seems so boring and dull.
I hope you know how much I appreciated your hospitality. I should count myself fortunate to have a charming and generous friend like you. Hope I can reciprocate your kindness when you visit Beijing someday.
Yours,
Li Ming
亲爱的令狐冲:
非常感谢让我在你家度过了三天美好的时光!在你那儿的每一刻我都很高兴。我记不起在哪儿像在你家过得那么愉快了。
我想再跟你说一下,在成都度过的周末是多么令人愉快啊!那里的一切都很完美--天气、同伴、优美的环境。难怪今天上午我发现很难开始学习!和成都相比,课堂显得那么乏味无聊。
我想让你知道,我有多感激你的热情款待。有你这么迷人、大方的朋友,我应该觉得自己很幸运。希望将来有一天你能来北京玩,使我能回报你的好意。
你真诚的,
李明
