陆则川无奈地摇了摇头,走到床边,伸手轻轻推了推Toby的胳膊:“Toby, wake up. I'm going to get the materials for the group assignment.”(Toby,醒醒,我来拿小组作业的资料。)
Toby动了动身子,嘟囔了几句听不懂的梦话,翻了个身继续睡,丝毫没有要醒的迹象。陆则川只好又用力推了他一下,提高了声音:“Toby, don't sleep anymore. Wake up quickly!”(Toby,别睡了,快醒醒!)
这次,Toby终于被吵醒了。他迷迷糊糊地睁开眼睛,眼神涣散,愣了好几秒才看清眼前的人是陆则川,打着哈欠坐起身,抓了抓凌乱的头发,语气慵懒又不耐烦:“Ethan? Why are you here? So early...”(Ethan?你怎么来了?这么早……)
“Early? It's almost eleven o'clock.”(早?都快十一点了。)陆则川指了指窗外,“We agreed to review the materials for the team assignment today. Why didn't you reply to the message? By the way, why is it that only your parents' car is in the garage?”(我们约好今天对接小组作业的资料,你怎么不回复消息?对了车库里怎么只有你爸妈的车?)
Toby揉了揉眼睛,打了个大大的哈欠,才慢悠悠地说道:“It's the weekend now. Of course, my parents are at home and the car is in the garage. I helped my mom tidy up things last night until the early hours of the morning, so I overslept.”(现在是周末,我爸妈当然在家,车也就在车库咯。我昨晚帮我妈整理东西到凌晨,所以睡过头了。)他顿了顿,想起什么似的,又补充了一句,“Serena had to have her car repaired because she was in a car accident a few days ago and it was damaged.”(Serena是因为前几天出车祸了,车被撞了,所以拿去修了。)
“What the fuck?”(你说什么?)陆则川的身体瞬间僵住,脸上的表情瞬间变得严肃起来,刚才的慵懒惬意荡然无存,语气里满是难以置信,“Serena had a car accident? When did it happen? Was it serious?”(沈若斐出车祸了?什么时候的事?严重吗?)
“Last Thursday, it seems, near Ocean Park Boulevard, I had a sudden brake failure during a robbery and was rear-ended by the car following me.”(就上周四吧,好像是在Ocean Park Boulevard那边,遇到抢劫的急刹车,被后车追尾了。)Toby还没完全清醒,语气随意地说道,丝毫没察觉到陆则川的慌乱,“My parents called her and rushed over immediately. They said she didn't return for a long time after the handling was completed.”(我爸妈接到她电话就赶过去了,听说处理了很久才回来。)
“And where is she? At which hospital?”(那她人呢?在哪家医院?)陆则川抓住Toby的胳膊,语气急切,眼神里满是担忧,力道大得让Toby忍不住皱了皱眉。
“Hey, don't worry. She's fine.”(哎,你别急啊,她人没事。)Toby被他抓得有些疼,连忙摆了摆手,“The car was damaged in the accident and was sent for repair. She wasn't injured but was a little frightened. My parents said the police had handled it and no one was convicted, but they did impose a fine.”(就是车子被撞坏了,送去维修了,她人没受伤,就是受了点惊吓。我爸妈说警察已经处理好了,没定罪,就是罚了点钱。)
“It should be at USC. This morning I saw her post on Instagram. She seemed to be doing practice problems in the library and said that she couldn't stand the calculus anymore.”(应该在USC吧,今天早上我还看到她发ins,好像是在图书馆刷题,说高数快熬不住了。)Toby揉了揉眼睛,拿起桌上的手机看了一眼,随口说道。
“Hey, Ethan! Your group materials!”(哎,Ethan!你的小组资料!)Toby看着他匆忙的背影,连忙喊道,可陆则川的身影已经消失,只留下一阵急促的脚步声。Toby无奈地摇了摇头,嘟囔道:“Is this really so urgent... It's like valuing appearance over friendship...”(至于这么急吗……真是重色轻友……)说着,又倒回床上,准备继续睡觉。
