感恩節的三封信：感恩家人，感恩父母，感恩朋友，感恩老師；
The texts of my letters began something like，
我的信是這樣開頭的：
" Here， this Thanksgiving at sea， I find my thoughts upon how much you have done for me ， but I have never stopped and said to you how much I feel the need to thank you-"
“在這里，這個在海上的感恩節，我回想起了你們為我付出的一切，但是我卻從來沒有對你們說過我多么感激你們。”
And briefly I reccalled for each of them specific acts performed on my behalf.
我回憶起他們為我做的特殊的事情的簡短片段。
For instance， something uppermost about my father was how he had impressed upon me from boyhood to love books and reading.
比方說，我父親做出的最讓我印象深刻的事便是他培養我從小就愛讀書。
In fact， this graduated into a family habit of after-dinner quizzes at the table about books read recently and new words learned.
實際上，這種做法最終演變為一種家庭習慣——飯后桌前圍繞最近讀的書和新學詞匯的小測試。
My love of books never diminished and later led me toward writing books myself.
我對書籍的熱愛從未褪色過，之后這種熱愛也促使我開始自己寫書。
