台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
More than a million Venezuelans have moved to Colombia in recent years. And in an era of record setting migration 1, when borders seem to be getting thicker, harder to cross, Colombia is doing something that you don't see very often. It's opening its doors and it's letting people in.
