(yìwài de diànzǐ yóujiàn)

A: I just received an e-mail from one of my former classmates. I was surprised, I hadn’t heard from him for ages.

我刚刚收到一封以前同学发给我的电子邮件。太意外了,我好久没有跟他联系过了。

B: I’ve been out of touch with most of my old friends. Only one or two still drop me a line occasionally.

我跟以前的大部分朋友也没有联系了,只有一两个时不时打打电话。
