Yay, my brother got into CalTech

今天我们全家都高兴万分，哥哥收到了加州理工大学的提前录取通知书，我们都知道得到这所著名的大学的提前录取有多么竞争，多么不容易。祝贺你，儿子，我们为你感到骄傲！今天晚上我们全家怀着喜庆的心情，去了海边的餐馆庆祝一番。
We are so happy today that David got accepted by Cal Tech from his application for early action. We all know how competitive it is to get into this prestigious school . Congratulations, son! We are so proud of you. We celebrated this happy event at the "Crab Catcher" in La Jolla tonight.
