2024年12月15日 | 英単語
Reader's Digest 10月号の記事 "The Nicest Place in America" からの引用です。

Space is tight, so Vera prefers to work alone--though not for lack of volunteers. Kabul's fall in 2021 saw an influx of refugees to Silver Spring, a Washington, D.C., suburb of about 80,000. It's home to families, young professionals, retirees like Vera, and a large community of immigrants and refugees raring to make Montgomery County home.
