How did Jane receive a letter from a stranger?
My daughter,Jane,never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland.Last year,we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle.She threw the bottle into the sea.She never thought of it again,but ten months later,she received a letter from a girl in Holland.Both girls write to each other regularly now.However,they have decided to use the post office.Letters will cost a little more,but they will certainly travel faster.

参考译文
我的女儿简从未想过会接到荷兰一位同龄姑娘的来信.去年,当我们横渡英吉利海峡时,简把写有她姓名和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子,又将瓶子扔进了大海.此后她就再没去想那只瓶子.但10个月以后,她收到了荷兰一位姑娘的来信.现在这两位姑娘定期通信了.然而她们还是决定利用邮局.这样会稍微多花点钱,但肯定是快得多了.
以上是新概念2册
文中:
we were travelling across the Channel .
当我们横渡英吉利海峡时
我觉得应该译成English channel
English Channel 应该是对的··
请注意:across的后面有the.世界上的channel很多,可english channel只有一个,那末还需要特指吗??
The Channel 在英文中是特指英吉利海峡的,写成English Channel反而不正宗.
