CHAPTER 3 To and From From: Hugh King (HKing@hughdesignit.com) To: Elaine Batts (elaine@battsconfections.com) Subject: This is for Stella from Evie Dear Mrs. Batts, I don't have my own e-mail so my dad is typing this for me from his account.

第三章 往来邮件 发件人：休·金（HKing@hughdesignit.com） 收件人：伊莱恩·巴茨（elaine@battsconfections.com） 主题： 这是埃维给斯特拉的信 亲爱的巴茨太太，我没有自己的电子邮箱，所以我爸爸用他的账号帮我打这些字。 你能把这个交给斯特拉看吗？ 斯特拉也没有自己的电子邮箱，所以我才写信给你。 谢谢你。

Sincerely, Evie King (Stella's friend) Dear Stella, I'm testing to see if you get this. We are leaving for the airport to go to London in an hour. My dad says it'll be too much money to call you from there, but I can use his e-mail to say hi and check on Bella. Hi! How is Bella? Did you get this e-mail? Your friend, Evie From: Elaine Batts (elaine@battsconfections.com) To: Hugh King (HKing@hughdesignit.com) Subject: This is for Evie from Stella Dear Mr. King, This is Stella Batts. (Actually, it's my grandma

此致 敬礼 埃维·金（斯特拉的朋友） 亲爱的斯特拉，我正在测试你能不能收到这封信。 我们一小时后就要出发去机场，去伦敦啦。 我爸爸说从那儿给你打电话太贵了，不过我可以用他的邮箱跟你问好，还能问问贝拉的情况。 嗨！ 贝拉怎么样啦？ 你收到这封邮件了吗？ 你的朋友 埃维 发件人：伊莱恩·巴茨（elaine@battsconfections.com） 收件人：休·金（HKing@hughdesignit.com） 主题： 这是斯特拉给埃维的信 亲爱的金先生，我是斯特拉·巴茨。 （其实是我奶奶

typing for me, on my mom's e-mail account.) I hope you have a good trip and I hope you can give this to Evie. Sincerely, Stella Batts Dear Evie, Yes I got your e-mail! It was my very first e-mail! My mom isn't checking her e-mail as much since she's busy with the baby, so I didn't know you e-mailed me until just now. Grandma told me it is eight hours later in London, which means it's Saturday night there already. Did you land yet? Over here in Somers, we're getting ready for lunch. Bella is great. We woke up at the exact same time this morning. I opened my eyes and then she opened her eyes, and we went

用我妈妈的邮箱账号，帮我打字哦。） 希望你旅途愉快，也希望你能把这封信交给埃维。 此致 敬礼 斯特拉·巴茨 亲爱的埃维： 我收到你的邮件啦！ 这可是我人生中收到的第一封邮件！ 我妈妈最近忙着照顾小宝宝，没怎么查邮箱，所以我刚才才知道你给我发了邮件。 奶奶告诉我伦敦现在比我们这儿早八个小时，也就是说你们那儿已经是周六晚上啦。 你已经落地了吗？ 我们萨默斯这边正准备吃午饭呢。 贝拉好得很。 我们俩今天早上醒的时间一模一样哦。 我刚睁开眼睛，她就睁开了，然后我们就一起

for a little stroll with my grandma. Now I'm teaching her a new command—at least in English. Maybe you can teach her the French when you get home. Love, Stella P.S. The new command is for her to say "hi." Or actually for her to bark when I ask her to say "hi." From: Hugh King (HKing@hughdesignit.com) To: Elaine Batts (elaine@battsconfections.com) Subject: For Stella again It's really late but I can't sleep because I'm still on California time. Also because it's raining so hard right now. That made me think of something I have to tell you. If there's a storm in Somers while I'm gone,

和我奶奶去散了会儿步。 现在我正在教她一个新指令——至少是英语的指令哦。 等你回家了，说不定可以教她法语版的。 爱你的 斯特拉 又及： 新指令是让她“打招呼”。 其实就是我让她“打招呼”的时候，她要汪汪叫。 发件人：休·金（HKing@hughdesignit.com） 收件人：伊莱恩·巴茨（elaine@battsconfections.com） 主题： 再给斯特拉的信 现在很晚了，但我还睡不着，因为我还没倒过来加州的时差。 而且现在外面雨下得特别大。 这让我想起有件事必须告诉你。 我不在的时候，如果萨默斯有暴风雨的话，

you should let Bella sleep in the bed with you. She's afraid of thunder. I'm so happy she's with you instead of the kennel!!! There wouldn't be anyone for her to sleep with!!! Your friend, Evie From: Elaine Batts (elaine@battsconfections.com) To: Hugh King (HKing@hughdesignit.com) Subject: For Evie Hi Evie, There wasn't a thunderstorm last night, but Bella slept with me anyway. Except in the morning I couldn't find her! It made me so scared! Then I noticed my shirt was moving across the floor. Bella was caught underneath it! I'm going to try and keep my

你要让贝拉跟你一起睡在床上哦。 她很怕打雷。 我真高兴她现在和你在一起，而不是在宠物寄养所！！！ 不然就没人陪她一起睡觉啦！！！ 你的朋友 埃维 发件人：伊莱恩·巴茨（elaine@battsconfections.com） 收件人：休·金（HKing@hughdesignit.com） 主题： 给埃维的信 嗨埃维，昨晚没有雷暴，不过贝拉还是跟我一起睡啦。 结果早上我找不到她了！ 可把我吓坏了！ 然后我发现我的衬衫在地板上慢慢移动。 原来贝拉被裹在衬衫底下啦！ 我打算以后尽量把我的
