那天雨下个不停。我打着伞,靠在车站的栏杆上等着。不知不觉,到了傍晚。她,始终没有出现。
nà tiān yǔ xià ge bùtíng。wǒ dǎzhe sǎn,kào zài chēzhàn de lángān shàng děng zhe。bùzhībùjué,dào le bàngwǎn。tā,shǐzhōng méiyǒu chūxiàn。
That day, it wouldn't stop raining. I was holding my umbrella, leaning up against the railing at the station and just waiting. Before I knew it, it was nightfall. She hadn't come at all.
wǒ xìngxìng de huí dào qǐnshì,xīnli xiǎng,yào zài nàme duō rén lǐ zhǎoxún yī ge bèiyǐng,zhēnde xiàng dàhǎi lāo zhēn yīyàng。huòxǔ,táohuā yùn zhēnde hái méi lái......
Resentfully, I went back to my dormitory. I thought to myself that searching for this vision of a girl in such a sea of people really was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Perhaps my lucky chance hadn't come after all...
可能是没吃晚饭,当我饿醒的时候,已经是晚上11点了。我想去学校对面的大排档随便吃点儿。
maybe shì méi chī wǎnfàn,dāng wǒ è xǐng de shíhou,yǐjīng shì wǎnshang shí yī diǎn le。wǒ xiǎng qù xuéxiào duìmiàn de dàpáidàng suíbiàn chī diǎnr。
Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten dinner, but when my hunger finally hit me, it was already 11 o'clock. I went downstairs and decided to go get a little something from the street vendors across from the school gate.
bùzhīzěnde,dāng wǒ zǒudào xuéxiào húbiān de shíhou,gǎnjué géwài de lěng。wǒ xiàyìshi de guǒ jǐn le wàitào,tūrán fāxiàn,yǒu yī ge bèiyǐng zài yánzhe hú biān mànmàn de zǒu zhe。yīzhǒng mòmíng de chōngdòng qūshǐ zhe wǒ xiàng zhè ge bèiyǐng zǒu qù。jiànjiàn de,jiànjiàn de,yuèláiyuè jìn,jìngrán shì tā!nàge qīngxiù de bèiyǐng,nà wūhēi de tóufa hé máhuābiàn!dāng wǒ zǒujìn tā shí,fāxiàn tā dī zhe tóu zài chōuqì。
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.
