从今天中午开始,外面就一直雷霆暴雨。东方余悠跟她的辅导(tutor)请了假,自己在宿舍学习。
门突然开了,Lily从外面狼狈地冲进来,手里拿着一只球拍。
东方余悠:“Where have you been? It's raining cats and dogs!(你去哪儿了,外面下刀子似的?)”
Lil噗嗤一声笑了:“Raining cats and dogs? Who taught you that?(下刀子?谁教你的?)”
东方余悠:“I just think it's interesting, don't you?(我觉得挺有意思的,你不觉得吗?)”
Lily:“Kind of,(有一点儿吧)” 说着,Lily把手里的球拍递给她,“You play tennis?(你打网球?)”
东方余悠一脸疑惑:“No? Why?(不啊?为什么?)”
Lily:“Well, Jayden asked me to give this to you.(Jayden让我把它给你)”
东方余悠半信半疑地接过球拍,拿在手里仔细地看了看。
Lily: “I don't think it's a bad thing...(我不觉得是件坏事...)”
东方余悠;“what?(什么?)”
Lily :“Playing tennis. We know you are going through some hardship. It's not easy, you are here by yourself, all alone. Sports can help.(打网球。我们知道你很难。这不容易,你自己一个人在这儿。运动可以帮到你。)”
东方余悠:“Yeah...(嗯...)” 东方余悠摆弄着手里的球拍,思绪还没有从中走出来。
Lily:“So are you gonna play? He said he's gonna be at East Meadow Court this Saturday.(所以你要打吗?Jayden说他周六会在East Meadow球场。)”
东方余悠抬起头看着Lily,不知道该说什么,她还没做好决定。她很想去,但却不知道因为什么在犹豫。
Lily:“You know you better take a good advantage of him, he's good. He was world junior number 1 or something when he was 16. (你知道你最好好好占占他便宜,他还挺厉害的。他16岁的时候好像是青少年世界第一还是什么的。)”
