​美国电影明星汤姆·汉克斯（Tom Hanks）给公众的公开信：

Hello, 

       folks!

       Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive.

大家好，丽塔和我现在澳大利亚。我们感觉有点累，像是感冒了，身体有些疼痛。丽塔觉得一阵冷一阵热。有些轻微的发烧。为了做正确的事情，正如目前世界所需要的那样，我们做了新型冠状病毒检测，结果呈阳性。

Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?

现在也只能这样了。公共卫生和安全部门有他们必须遵守的规定。我们也会按照他们的要求接受检查、观察和隔离。也只能走一步算一步了，不是吗？

We’ll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves!

我们会及时发布和更新我们的最新状况，照顾好你们自己。

                        ***郭Sir点评***

 一、汤姆·汉克斯（Tom Hanks）是Forrest Gump《阿甘正传》的主演，这是一部富有人生哲理的电影。

二、哲理名句：

生活就像巧克力，你永远不知道你将得到什么。( Life's like a bar of chocolate. You'll never know what you are gonna get.)
