Dear Ariel,

I am looking forward to taking you and Eunice to lunch at Judy's cafe.  The 15,16,17, or 18 are good for me.  Which day is best for you?

I think it is wonderful that you go home so often, I know how much your parents and grandparents must miss you.

My very best wishes for much success with your finals, I am happy to know I will see you in a couple of weeks.

Your American Grandmother, Muriel

親愛的Ariel,

我期待帶妳和Eunice到Judy的咖啡廳。15,16,17或是18號對我來說都很方便，哪一天對妳來說最好呢？

我認為妳常回台灣是一件很美好的事情，我知道妳的父母和祖父母們，一定十分想念妳。

祝福妳期末考一切順利，我很開心，因為我知道幾個禮拜後，我將能與妳見面。

妳的美國奶奶，Muriel

Dear,dear Ariel,

Sunday the 16th is fine for me also.  Is it possible for you to meet me at my home and I will then drive the rest of the way?  Eleven would be perfect.

Sorry to learn that Eunice will not be able to join us, we will do it again when she is finished with her project.

Be well, take very good care of yourself and I can't wait to see you again.

Your American Grandmother,

Muriel

親愛、親愛的Ariel,

16號星期日對我來說也同樣沒有問題。不知在我們家見面、然後我再開車載妳前往餐廳對妳來說是否方便？11點將會是完美的時間。

很遺憾Eunice無法加入我們，當她完成她的專案時，我們會再聚一次。

願妳一切安好，好好照顧自己。我等不及要再次與妳見面了！

妳的美國奶奶，

Muriel

Dear Ariel,

Thank you so much for Mr. Hope. He stands next to my Great Grandson Matthew and lifts my spirits every time I pass by.

I always enjoy spending time with my sweet, sensitive Granddaughter from Taiwan.

Have a safe journey home.  My best to you and your family. I know how much they will enjoy your company and you theirs.

With love

Your American Grandmother

Muriel

親愛的Ariel,

非常謝謝妳帶給我Mr. Hope (希望先生) 小雕像。 他現在就站在我的曾孫子Matthew的照片旁，當我每次經過他時，總能覺得精神大振。

和妳這個可愛的、感性的台灣孫女見面，總是讓我如此開懷。

願妳回台灣度假一路順風。誠摯地祝福妳和妳的家人，我知道擁有妳的陪伴，他們將會是多麼開懷。

愛妳，

妳的美國奶奶，

Muriel

Ariel dear, it was so nice to see you so happy and smiling.

Thank you for my presents, the mobile is hanging near my hat that I acquired in China.  That room is where I spend the most time so it will keep me company and remind me always of my sweet friend Ariel.  Judy was very honored to receive the Prosperity Dish also and says thank you.

I have two extra tickets for the Foreign Language Film Nominees Symposium at the Academy of Motion Pictures on Saturday Feb. 23 at 9.00 A.M.  I would be very happy if you and Eunice would be able to attend.  Let me know, I will mail the tickets to you.

Have a wonderful Chinese New Year. Send my best wishes to your parents.

Muriel

親愛的Ariel,

能夠看到妳如此快樂且微笑著，真是一件美好的事情。

謝謝妳帶來的禮物們，那個紙傘裝飾線在就掛在我從中國帶回來的帽子(斗笠)旁邊，我最常花時間在那個房間裡，因此，這個裝飾將會陪伴著我並提醒著我想著我甜美的朋友─Ariel。 對於能夠收到妳送的聚寶盆裝飾，Judy也感到十分的榮幸，她想要謝謝妳。

我有另外兩張於2月23日星期六早上9點舉辦的電影藝術與科學學院外語片提名討論會的入場票，如果妳和Eunice能夠來參加，我將會非常開心。如果妳們要過來，請讓我知道，我會把票寄給你們。

祝妳中國新年快樂，請代我向妳的父母問候。

Hope you have had a pleasant week, without worrying about school assignments.  Were you able to travel during the Spring break?

I am feeling much better and enjoying this wonderful spring weather.

Are you counting the days until Graduation and arrival of your parents?

Have you made any travel plans for the months after Graduation?

I look forward to seeing you.

Fondly

Muriel

希望妳有個愉快的、不須擔憂學校功課的一週。妳春假有到其他地方去旅行嗎？

我現在覺得身體好些了，正享受著這美好的春天氣候。

妳是否在倒數著畢業典禮和妳父母的到來呢？

妳有計畫畢業後的幾個月要到哪裡去旅行嗎？

我期待可以見到妳。

深情地，

Muriel

Hi,

I am so happy to know that you visited San Diego.  It is a special place.  I have been there many times and always enjoyed the experience and the drive there enhances the adventure.

Did you get to Balboa Park and the Zoo?

Ariel, you are much busier than I am, so you let me know when you have time without putting pressure on yourself.

Look forward to seeing you.

Fondly.

Muriel

Do you know there is a free film festival of short Student Films on campus this weekend.  Thought Eunice might be interested, if she has the time.

Hi,

知道妳們到聖地牙哥旅遊，我很開心。那是一個很特別的地方，我曾經到過那裡幾次、總是享受著在那裡旅行的經驗。而在那裡開車經驗，更是增加了旅程的冒險娛樂性！

妳們有機會到那裡的Balboa 公園還是動物園嗎？

Ariel,妳比我忙碌多了，所以只要讓我知道妳何時有時間就好，不要讓妳自己感到壓力。

期待與妳見面。

深情地，

Muriel

Dear Ariel,

Please forgive me for not answering your most recent message.  I have had some problems with my computer.  It finally seems to be straightened out.

The time is just rushing by, it is difficult to comprehend that you will be graduating in a few weeks.  I know that this has been a wonderful experience for you and your Parents.

If you have the time and can visit with me this Sunday the 27th I would enjoy that very much. 

Hope you are well and happy.

Muriel

親愛的Ariel,

請原諒我沒快些回覆妳最近的來信。我的電腦之前有些問題，看來這些問題似乎已經被排除了。

時光真的飛逝著，不知不覺中妳即將在幾週內畢業，我知道這對妳和妳的父母來說，一定是個非常美好的經驗。

若是妳這週日、27號能過來與我聚聚，我將會非常開心。

希望妳一切安好且愉快。

Muriel

Ariel dear,

Hope you are enjoying the summer.  Did you and your parents enjoy the trip you took together?

I am enjoying the cell phone cover that your parents gave me.  It is very unique and everyone admires it.  Please convey my thanks to them.  It was a pleasure to meet your parents, I was very honored that they took the time to visit me.

My son and his family have been visiting and so it is very pleasurable time.

Your American Grandmother,

Muriel

親愛的Ariel,

希望妳有個愉快的夏天，妳和妳的父母有個愉快的旅程嗎？

我非常喜愛妳父母給我的手機套，它是如此地獨特，每個人都對它讚歎不已。請代我向他們轉達謝意。能夠與妳的父母見面，真是非常地愉快，對於他們能夠花時間來與我見面，我真的感到非常地榮幸。

我的兒子以及他的家人也正拜訪著我，所以這真是一段愉快的時光。

妳的美國奶奶，

Muriel

I too am very happy that your sister is here with you.  Please, please let us try to set a date to meet at Food.  I would like to take you both to lunch.  I have a class today Friday so that is impossible.  However the weekend or one day next week would be fine.

Muriel

對於妳的妹妹到這裡來與妳一同作伴，我也感到非常地開心。請一定、一定要找個時間，讓我們在FOOD餐廳見面，我想帶妳們兩個一起到那裡用個午餐。我這週五有一些課程所以沒法子與妳們見面。 但這週末或是下週的任何一天對我來說都很方便。

Ariel dear,

See you at my house Saturday July 26, at 11. 

With greatest pleasure and anticipation am I looking forward to meeting your sister and seeing you.  If you and she want to go to the Art Museum after lunch, remember you may use my membership.

Love,

Y A G Muriel

親愛的Ariel,

那麼我們就約這週六,26號早上11點在我家見面。

一想到能夠與妳和妳的妹妹見面，我就感到十分地期待。如果妳和她想要在午餐後一同到美術館參觀的話，請記得妳可以使用我的會員證。

Love,

妳的美國奶奶 Muriel

Ariel dear,

It was a great pleasure to meet your charming sister Julia and to spend some time with both of you.

Please thank her for the lovely and fun gifts.  The roses are sitting in front of glass doors in living room, where there is a lot of light for them.  The cell phone holder is smiling at me on my desk.   The good luck charm is in my car, my

Grandson Alex thinks I should wear it, so they will always know where I am.

Haven't eaten the cookies yet but I am sure I will enjoy them.

Have a good time with each other and my best to your parents who have such lovely, kind daughters.

With love,

YAG Muriel

親愛的Ariel,

能夠和妳迷人的妹妹Julia見面以及和妳們聚聚，真的是一件非常開懷的事情。

請代我謝謝她所帶來的可愛以及有趣的禮物們。那些玫瑰們現在正在我客廳的玻璃窗前，因為哪兒有些光線、那個手機座就正在我的書桌上對著我微笑、那個有鈴鐺的招財貓幸運吊飾現在在我的車子裡，我的孫子Alex認為我應該戴著它，這樣他們就能夠知道我在哪裡了。我還沒吃那些餅乾們，但我知道我將會非常喜歡它們。

祝妳們能有一段愉快的彼此共處時間，也請代我向妳們的父母問好，他們有一對如此可愛、溫暖親切的女兒。

愛妳，

Muriel
