從今天中午開始,外面就一直雷霆暴雨。東方餘悠跟她的輔導(tutor)請了假,自己在宿舍學習。
門突然開了,Lily從外面狼狽地沖進來,手裡拿着一隻球拍。
東方餘悠:“Where have you been? It's raining cats and dogs!(你去哪兒了,外面下刀子似的?)”
Lil噗嗤一聲笑了:“Raining cats and dogs? Who taught you that?(下刀子?誰教你的?)”
東方餘悠:“I just think it's interesting, don't you?(我覺得挺有意思的,你不覺得嗎?)”
Lily:“Kind of,(有一點兒吧)” 說着,Lily把手裡的球拍遞給她,“You play tennis?(你打網球?)”
東方餘悠一臉疑惑:“No? Why?(不啊?為什麼?)”
Lily:“Well, Jayden asked me to give this to you.(Jayden讓我把它給你)”
東方餘悠半信半疑地接過球拍,拿在手裡仔細地看了看。
Lily: “I don't think it's a bad thing...(我不覺得是件壞事...)”
東方餘悠;“what?(什麼?)”
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.(打網球。我們知道你很難。這不容易,你自己一個人在這兒。運動可以幫到你。)”
東方餘悠:“Yeah...(嗯...)” 東方餘悠擺弄着手裡的球拍,思緒還沒有從中走出來。
Lily:“So are you gonna play? He said he's gonna be at East Meadow Court this Saturday.(所以你要打嗎?Jayden說他周六會在East Meadow球場。)”
東方餘悠擡起頭看着Lily,不知道該說什麼,她還沒做好決定。她很想去,但卻不知道因為什麼在猶豫。
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,他還挺厲害的。他16歲的時候好像是青少年世界第一還是什麼的。)”
