Voice 2: And now we have time for one more letter. Marco in Latin¹ America writes:

声音2：现在我们还有时间再看一封来信。拉丁美洲的马尔科写道：

Voice 5: "I want to thank all of you. You have given me courage² to continue learning³ English."

声音5：“我想谢谢你们所有人。你们给了我继续学习英语的勇气。”

Voice 2: Thank you for your e-mail, Marco. We are happy that our programme⁴ encourages you. Learning another language can be both fun and difficult. As you know, the most important part of learning a language is to keep trying — to practise. It is also normal to make mistakes.

声音2：马尔科，谢谢你的邮件。我们很高兴我们的节目能鼓励你。学习另外一门语言既有趣又艰难。如你所知，学习语言最重要的环节就是坚持练习。另外，犯错是很正常的。

Voice 1: One mistake that I made when I was learning French was: I wanted to say 'It is raining' —in French 'Il pleut'. Instead I said 'Il pleure', which is 'it is crying'. My friend could not stop laughing. She laughed so hard she started crying. Well, I would never forget the word for 'cry'! And I understood that I just needed more practice.

声音1：我在学习法语时犯过一个错误，我本来想说“下雨了”，用法语说是Il pleut。可是我说成了Il pleure，这句话的意思其实是“哭了”。我的朋友一直在笑我。她笑得太厉害了，后来就开始哭了。我想我永远也不忘记“哭”这个词！我也明白到，我需要更多的练习。

Voice 2: Well, that is all we have time for today. Thank you for joining us for today's listener⁵ mail.

声音2：这就是今天节目的全部内容。谢谢大家收听本期听众来信节目。
