While I was stationed overseas, my wife wrote to me daily. For an added touch, she'd always scribble little abbreviated notes on the outside of the envelopes. One day I received a letter with the familiar “SWL” (sealed with love) message on the envelope. I noticed that the letter was sealed with tape and a notation written by a postal employee: “Love didn't stick—resealed in Seattle.”
当我驻扎在海外的时候,我的妻子每天给我写一封信。为了再加一点感情,她总是在信封外面涂写上一些缩写的短信息。有一天我收到一封信,信封外面写着熟悉的缩写“用爱封上”。我注意到信上贴有胶带和邮局工作人员写的注脚“爱没有粘住——在西雅图重封。”
