来自麦格伦的感谢(插霉ʃ♥ )
Dear Taiwan,
I want to send a heartfelt note of appreciation for your hospitality these las
t two weeks. As many of you know, I joined the University of Iowa baseball tea
m on their trip to Taiwan for the World University Games.
I was the only person who had been to Taiwan before. Because of your warm hear
ts, smiles and overall welcoming nature, you now have about 30 new people from
Iowa that love your country and will carry great memories with them.
Of course, we enjoyed the sporting events, the night markets, temples and othe
r sight-seeing adventures, but the best and most lasting memories will be of t
he Taiwanese people. We could see how proud and excited you were to host, and
share with the world the great place that is Taiwan. You should be proud!
Personally, I'm happy that I saw a lot of old friends, and met a lot of great
new people as well. My daily life now is one where nobody recognizes me or car
es too much about my former job, and that's ok. But selfishly, I admit that it
was a lot of fun to reconnect with Taiwan baseball fans, sign a few autograph
s and take some photos. More so, I'm happy that the University of Iowa players
experienced the special treatment that so many Taiwanese give. Now that they
are back to school, blending in like any other student, they will always have
that memory of the time in Taiwan when they were treated so well, and even a b
it like 'rock stars'!
Thank you for allowing me to post on the Brothers Fan Page, as I didn’t know
exactly how to write a thank you letter to Taiwan, I thought posting here and
encouraging you to share would reach a lot of people.
Thank you again for sharing your country and I hope we meet again…

亲爱的台湾，我想要衷心的写一篇文章来感谢你们在这短短两周世大运期间对于我们的热
情及好客。就如你们知道的，我加入了世大运美国代表队爱荷华州立大学棒球队随行来到
台湾。
在此行前我是唯一一位曾到访过台湾的人。但因为你们的暖心、笑容及台湾人总是热情好
客的本性，现在多了约30位来自爱荷华州的人们喜欢上这个国家并且将这美好的回忆带回
了美国。
想当然的，我们非常享受在这运动项目之中，还有夜市、庙宇以及其他观光导览，但最美
好及最让人印象深刻的部分依旧是台湾的人民们。我们可以看到你们多骄傲及兴奋地当主
人招待大家，并且分享这世界上最美好的地方就是台湾。你们应该感到骄傲！
就我个人而言，我非常开心能够再次看到这些老朋友们，还有此行新认识的一些朋友。我
现在的日常生活中，是一个没有人会认出我或是在乎我以前做什么工作的，这都没关系。
但自私地说，我承认重新接触台湾球迷们，签些签名球及拍照让我非常享受在其中。还有
，我也非常开心这些来自爱荷华州立大学的球员们经历过台湾人们给的特别礼遇。现在他
们回到了学校，混在其他学生群里，他们将会想起在台湾被对待的像个摇滚巨星般的时光
！
谢谢中信兄弟允许我将这篇文章分享在兄弟Fans Club，因为我不知道该怎么写感谢信给
台湾。我想贴在这里且鼓励大家分享，可以延伸让许多台湾人民能看到我们对大家的感谢
。
再次感谢你们分享这国家的一切给我们，并且我希望我们有机会能够再次相遇。
