不知怎的，当我走到学校湖边的时候，感觉格外地冷。我下意识地裹紧了外套，突然发现，有一个背影在沿着湖边慢慢地走着。一种莫名的冲动驱使着我向这个背影走去。渐渐地，渐渐地，越来越近，竟然是她！那个清秀的背影，那乌黑的头发和麻花辫！当我走近她时，发现她低着头在抽泣。

I'm not sure why, but when I got the school lake, I felt a weird chill. Subconsciously, I pulled my jacket around tighter. Suddenly, I noticed the back of a girl as she was slowly walking along the lakeside in front of me. A unexplainable impulse came over me and I started walking towards her, gradually getting closer and closer. As I approached, I saw that it was her! That elegant view of her back. That raven-black hair in a braid! Then, when I got closer, I realized her head was hung low and she was sobbing.

我像平时一样上了班车找了个窗口座位坐下，掏出耳机正准备带上。不经意间，发现了在我前面，与我隔一个座位，坐着一个女孩。虽然是背对着我，但清秀的背影引起了我对她的无限遐想。特别是她那乌黑的头发和麻花辫，还有辫子末端的红头绳，非常别致脱俗。班车过了两站她就下车了。但这一路上，我睡意全无，连到站下车的时候还在揣测她的样貌。

I boarded the bus as usual and found a window seat. I sat down, got out my earphones and was getting ready to put them in. Then, suddenly, I realized there was a girl sitting one seat ahead of me. Even though I was sitting behind her, just the elegant view of her back was enough to draw me into an unending daydream. In particular, it was her raven-black hair. It was pulled back into a single braid with a red hair-tie fastened onto the end. It was so unique yet refined. After the bus had gone only two stops, she got off. That time around, I couldn't sleep at all. Until the very last stop I still was guessing at what she might look like.

同样的座位，同样的衣着，同样清秀的背影，同样的红头绳和麻花辫。有几次，我有意侧过身想看一下她的脸。但她好像察觉到什么一样，把头转向另一边。难道是她发现了我的举动？我心里暗暗地在想:下次坐车一定要坐到前面，哪怕没座位也要站在车前。唉！对了，可以在车站等她啊。而且一定要找机会和她搭讪，问个电话号码什么的。

The same seat and same clothes. Same delicate view of her back, same red hair-tie and braid. A few times, I tried to pass by her so I could take a look at her face, but she always seemed to know what was up and turn her head to the other side. Is it possible that she knew what I was trying to do? In my head I was secretly thinking: ‘Next time I take the bus, I’ll sit up front. Even if there's no seats, I'll just stand there. Oh, I got it! I can wait for her at the bus stop'. Then I'll definitely have an chance to strike up a conversation and ask for her numer or something.

“Hee hee, hey there. Your backpack fell off.” A beautiful girl appeared in front of me. “Oh, sorry. I was listening to music and fell asleep.” I picked up my bag and looked out the car window. “Huh? The shuttle bus hasn't started.” “There's still 3 minutes.” She giggled and said. As she was speaking, she sat down in the seat in front of me. Looking at her from behind, she was so elegant; her hair pulled back into a single braid.
