主题：人艰不拆讲笑话之四 -- 骨头龙

人们经常问我：你为什么要来马里兰大学？

I always answer： Fresh air.

我总是回答：清新的空气。

Five years ago， as I step off the plane from China， and left the terminal at Dallas Airport. I was ready to put on one of my five face masks， but when I took my first breath of American air. I put my mask away.

五年前，我乘坐中国的飞机抵达美国，在踏出达拉斯机场航站楼的那一刻，我就赶紧把我先前在中国准备好的五张口罩里取出一张戴上，但当我呼吸到美国的第一口空气后，我摘下了口罩。

The air was so sweet and fresh， and oddly luxurious.

这里的空气是如此地清新甜美，显得格外地奢侈。

I was surprised by this. I grew up in a city in China， where I had to wear a face mask every time I went outside， otherwise， I might get sick.

我被这一切所震惊了。我在中国的都市里长大，每次出门前我都必须要戴口罩，不然的话，我就可能会生病。

However， the moment I inhaled and exhaled outside the airport.

所以，当我在机场外面呼吸到第一口空气的时候，

I felt coronavirus.

我感到了新冠病毒。
