I was quite surprised when I read in your letter that you had decided not to finish your studies at the university.
当我在你的信中看到你已决定终止大学学业时感到很是惊讶。
As far as I could see, it needed only a minor adjustment: a turn of a screw here, a little tightening up there, a drop of oil and it would be as good as new.
在我看来,只需稍加调整即可。这儿紧紧螺丝,那儿固定一下,再加几滴油,就会像新的一样了。
