Dear Frank Mantova of Bologna,
尊敬的弗兰克·曼托夫:
I stumbled across a postcard addressed to "China people" on a desk in China Daily's mail office on the night of May 7.
周四下晚班,我偶然在报社收发室的桌子上发现了一张写给“中国人民”的明信片。
It's heartwarming to read your sincere wishes to the Chinese people and the world during the COVID-19 pandemic.
你对中国人民以及全世界抗击疫情的真诚祝福读来让人暖心。
I noticed you posted it on Jan 29, during the most difficult stage in China's battle against the virus.
我注意到你是1月29日从博洛尼亚寄出的这张明信片,那是中国抗击疫情最困难的阶段。
That it took more than three months for the postcard to come all the way to our hands — much faster than Marco Polo — has only made it more valuable.
这张明信片用了三个多月才送到我们手中,比马可·波罗快了不少,这更显出了它的珍贵。
At this time the situation is better in China, but has worsened in many other countries, including Italy.In facing this common enemy, it is the spirit of mutual assistance your message has embodied that helps us weather the storm.
现在中国疫情基本控制住了,包括意大利在内的许多其他国家形势依然严峻。面对共同的敌人,正如你信中所示,团结互助才能让我们共克时艰。
I hope all goes well with you and the Italian people, who have always emerged stronger from ordeals in their long history.
衷心希望你以及所有意大利人民一切安好。那是一个有着悠久历史的国家,相信意大利必将战胜疫情。
Regards,
祝好
Li Yang
