"After all, Boston is where the fight for American liberty began. Needless to say, July 4th is a very special occasion here. The city is always proud of its revolutionary heritage, but around July 4th, celebratory pride escalates to such a degree that you'll experience patriotism steroids."
我心安处是吾家。庆祝美国独立日,我想分享前两天写的英文来表达我对波士顿的热爱。请大家见谅中英文加杂的帖子。这段文字写于前两天参加公司夏天聚会后。 因为我经常不去参加公司组织的娱乐活动。不是不捧场,只是那些活动我无法自如的谈我爱的文学艺术。尽管我英文还行,但终不能象 母语一样谈笑风生,这也是我的遗憾,但我同时也庆幸我能体会两种语言中英文的美。这次活动我要求我自己必须去。于是便有了以下文字。除了那张波士顿夜景的 烟花图是从网上找来的,其它都是用手机自己拍的,有两张烟花照对着电视照的,不清楚。
I complained a lot about the extreme cold weather and bad commute in Boston this winter. But I wanted to say that from watching the warm hands-waving of the happy crowds when the boat departed Pier 6, along with the most stunning sunset scenery on the water I have seen in life (just after Hawaii haha), to the safe landing at the harbor seeing people peacefully enjoying the summer outdoor music outside the harbor hotel, I know how much I love this city from the bottom of my heart.
Boston has the tradition and culture and has the character and the spirits that I love. Boston has the most intelligent and warm-hearted people that I always admire and that light up my life. Every year Boston attracts the young people from all over the world for school and for work to start exploring their life journey.
Like them, I came to Boston as a foreign student from the other end of the globe with a passionate spirit and motivated mind to pursue the graduate school, to see the world and to explore the adventure. Boston attracted me with its best education system and its arts and culture environment that I long for. The city embraced me with a big open heart. Boston and its people have always impressed me and touched me in the softest part of my heart in many different ways. Good or bad, life is a journey. I never regretted my choice.
Love you, Boston! Happy 4th of July. Happy Independence Day! Boston Strong! Boston Safe!
谢谢阅读!长周末快乐!
