【TED演讲】给陌生人的情书
汉娜，布兰契(Hannah Brencher)的妈妈总是写信给她。于是当她大学毕业后，她感到自己正处在金融海啸的底端时，她做了她觉得最自然的事——她写情书且等待陌生人发现。“世界需要更多情书”这个行动已经变成全球性倡议，大大增加了亲手写信给需要的人的数量。Hannah Brencher
Hannah Brencher believes in the power of pen and paper, and has started a global initiative that encourages strangers to exchange love letters.
I was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the P.O. box at the end of the day. _______（一句话听写，首字母大写，句末加标点）_________ And so while other kids were BBM-ing their parents, I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter from home to see how the weekend had gone, which was a little frustrating when Grandma was in the hospital, but I was just looking for some sort of scribble, some unkempt cursive from my mother.
And so when I moved to New York City after college and got completely sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of at the time. I wrote those same kinds of letters that my mother had written me for strangers, and tucked them all throughout the city, dozens and dozens of them. I left them everywhere, in cafes and in libraries, at the U.N., everywhere.

所以在我大学毕业后，来到了纽约，当时正经历人生的低谷，无法自拔，我做了唯一能想到的一件事。就像妈妈给我手写家书一样我也给遍布全城的陌生人写信。十多封十多封地写，我把它们留在城市的各个角落，咖啡馆、图书馆，甚至联合国总部，到处都有。
