写在前面

2016年5月份,双胞胎所在的小学4-5年级混合班有一个为期一周的"淘金"课外教学。这些9-10岁的孩子们会走一遍当年加州淘金者走过的路线,吃住在途中,体验一下当年淘金者的期待,渴求和艰苦,把历史知识真正学活。

这个活动有一个要求,老师让家人给孩子每人每天写一封信(对孩子是保密的),然后在每天晚饭后,由"邮差"把信拿出来,给孩子们一个惊喜。

周一到周四,每天一封信,两个孩子就要写8封信啊!用英文写是必须滴,最起码不能有语法错误,用词也得恰当点,内容还不能重样,这可真不是一般的任务!

好在家里劳力多,我就把任务派了下去。大哥,二哥,爸爸,我,一人负责一天,每人写两封,一封给大双,一封给小双,刚好四天8封信。

大家想些什么,就写什么,彼此之间也不必交流。他们每个人自己把信装到信封里交给我,我再集中起来交给老师,于是就有了这一系列的"家信"。

现在回头看看这些信,我这个妈妈写的最"啰嗦",一提笔,感情的闸门就打开收不住了,有点话唠的感觉。爸爸写的简洁,大哥写的幽默,二哥写的穿越,还真是各具特色。

在我忘记细节之前,赶紧把这些"家书"串起来,也算是岁月留痕吧。

这篇是爸爸写给儿子的信, 虽然写的有点干巴,但也是真情流露。

爸爸写给小双的信

亲爱的小双,

我是爸爸。

你知道的,我的英文不咋滴,但我仍然愿意给你写这封信,因为我爱你,我想和你说几句话。

你是一个好孩子,有很好的公民意识。比如我开车在stop sign时没停车,你总是第一个提醒批评我。

我希望你这次出游在外不会感到孤单。

但是家里少了你们两个蹦蹦跳跳的身影,我却感觉很冷清。

这几年你的足球大有长进,你是一个很好的防守后卫,只要你在球场上,我就信心大增。

呵呵,现在,你又对篮球感兴趣了,你们的NJB球队大部分都是第一次打篮球,你们比赛遇到了强手,不容易啊。

可是我看到了你们的进步,我为你的进步感到自豪,继续加油吧!

尽管有的时候你有点懒,但我依旧爱你,你是一个阳光快乐的孩子,脸上总是带着微笑,我喜欢!

爱你的爸爸。

Dear Joseph,

It’s dad. 

You know, my English is not that good,  but I would still like to write something to you, because I love you and I want to say something to you.

You're a good boy with very good citizenship and values. You always correct me whenever I make some mistake, such as when I didn't stop at "Stop" sign.

I hope you don't feel lonely in this field trip. But I do feel a little bit empty in my heart since I miss you two and somehow sometimes I even don't know what to do without you two at home.

It has become my routine to share some "Funny View" to you when I wake up in the morning. But because I can’t do that this week, I am a little bit sad.

You have made some big improvements in your soccer skills those years. You are a great defender and we always have confidence in you when you are in the game.

Now, you have high interests in basketball, and it's sometimes tough for you guys in NJB since most of your team member are first time players. But things will change for hardworking people, let us see it in next season.

I love you (even though sometimes you are lazy). You are a bright boy with a happy smile, I like it!

I love you, always.

Dad

爸爸写给大双的信

亲爱的大双,

我是爸爸。

你知道的,我的英文不咋滴,但我仍然愿意给你写这封信,因为我爱你,我想和你说几句话。

你是一个好孩子,你很关爱你周围的人,照顾他们的心情,我常常被你感动。

我希望你在这次出游在外不会感到孤单。

但是家里少了你们两个蹦蹦跳跳的身影,我却感觉很冷清,心里空捞捞的,不知道该干点什么。

每天早晨醒来后我都愿意和你分享一些有趣的视频,可这个星期,我没人可分享了,有点失落。

这几年,你的足球球艺进步很大,你的足球防守太好了,就像一堵墙一样。

你的钢琴弹得真好,我非常喜欢听你弹那些优美的曲子。

呵呵,现在,你又对篮球感兴趣了,你们的NJB队大部分都是第一次打篮球,你们比赛遇到很多强手,不容易啊。

但是只要你努力付出,结局就会有改变,让我们拭目以待下一个球季吧!

你是一个阳光男孩,我喜欢!

爱你的爸爸

Dear Jason,

It‘s dad. 

You know,my English is not that good,  but I would still like to write something to you, because I love you and I want to say something to you.

You're a good boy, you are very thoughtful and care everybody around you, I am always touched by you.

I hope you don't feel lonely in this field trip. But I do feel a little bit empty in my heart since I miss you two and somehow sometimes I even don't know what to do without you two at home.

It has become my routine to share some "Funny View" to you when I wake up in the morning. But because I can’t do that this week, I am a little bit sad.

You have made big improvements in your soccer skills, you are a good defender of United Crushers. You also play piano so well, I always want to listen to the music you played, it’s beautiful.

Now, you have high interests in basketball, and it's sometimes tough for you guys in NJB since most of your team are first time players. But things will change for hardworking people, let us see it in next season.

You are a bright boy, I love you.

Dad
