回复：关于邀请父母来美的几个问题

1. No. they're two letters. It's better to have the invitation letter in both Chinese and English version. Regarding the letter to consular, the English version is OK.
2. See 1.
3. No. Don't confuse them.
4. No. If the bank account is under your name and the amount is enough to support your parents' expense, you don't have to submit your hubby's information. Otherwise...

亲爱的爸，妈，哥哥及嫂嫂；

你们好！

时间过得真快，转眼又过一年，这已经是我在英国渡过的第四个年头，非常很想念你们。妈妈已经退休快两个月吧！不知道她习不习惯一下子闲下来的生活？ 希望她能好好享受退休的生活。我的学习和生活都很好，你门不用为我担心。我已经开始写我的博士论文，我计划在今年9月份完成，争取年底就能通过答辩，拿到学位。

苏格兰的夏天非常美丽，天很高，很蓝，我已经在电话里向你们描述了无数次了。我想你们一定会喜欢的。既然妈妈现在已经退休了，我和XX也搬到了一个独立的套间里，我非常希望妈妈和哥哥今年5月的时候来英国来看看我们。我迫不及待地想带你们去参观我们有550年历史的格拉斯哥大学，爱丁堡城堡，还有苏格兰美丽的高地风光。我们当然还会一起去伦敦，那儿有著名的双塔桥，大笨钟还有巨大的伦敦眼。到了5月份，英国的白天变得很长，到晚上10点天还不会黑，我们可以尽情地享受英国的风光。


先写到这里吧，我和XX都热切的盼望着妈妈和哥哥的到来。

想念你们！


xx

Dear Dad, Mum, Brother and Sister in Law,

Have been staying in United Kingdom for over three years, I miss you all very much. Mum has retired for two months, I hope she could enjoy the easy days. I am fine on both my studies and my living. Don’t worry about me. I’ve begun my thesis writing. Hopefully, it could be done before September. I wish I could get my PHD degree at the end of this year.

The summer in Scotland is really beautiful. The sky is blue and high. I’ve described this to you thousands of time. I know you will love it. Mum is retired. I hope Mum and XX could come over and spend some time here with us on May. XX and I have moved into a bigger flat. There’s pretty room for your stay. I cannot wait to show you the University, which has a history of more than 550 years, Edinburgh castle and the stunning Scottish highland. Of course, we will go to London. You will see the famous Tower Bridge, Big Ben and London eye.

I am going to Barcelona for a conference, organized by the society of cardiac magnetic resonance. They accepted one of my papers. I will phone you as soon as I come back next week.

We are all looking forward to your coming. Missing you!

Best wishes,
xx
