33、(火车车厢) filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train (Merci:a French word meaning “thank you”).

35、 away their pocket money. All the things were then taken to France by ship. By 1949, the French had begun to recover(恢复) from the war.
