推开宿舍门,一股淡淡的咖啡香扑面而来,室友正坐在书桌前,对着电脑忙碌着,手指在键盘上快速敲击着,神情专注。听到开门的声音,室友抬起头,看到是沈若斐,脸上露出了一丝疲惫的笑容,停下了手里的动作:“Serena, you're back? You didn't return to the dormitory last night. Where did you go?”(Serena,你回来了?昨晚没回宿舍,去哪里了?)
“I went home. I've been too tired recently, so I slept there for one night.”(我回了趟家,最近太累了,在那边睡了一晚。)沈若斐笑了笑,语气里带着一丝未散的倦意,一边说着,一边走到自己的书桌前,放下怀里的帆布包,“Don't you have to go to class today?”(你今天不用去上课吗?)
“I don't have any classes today. I came here to tidy up my things and also to work on my graduation thesis.”(我今天没课,过来收拾一下东西,顺便赶一下毕业论文。)室友轻轻叹了口气,语气里满是疲惫,“By the way, Serena, there's something I need to tell you. After I graduate this year, I won't be renting this dorm anymore. So, you'll have to figure out your own plan for the dorm situation later.”(对了,Serena,有件事,我得跟你说一下。我今年毕业后,就不打算再租这个宿舍了,所以,后面宿舍的事情,你得自己做好打算。)
沈若斐猛地一愣,脸上的笑容瞬间僵住,眼底露出了一丝惊讶:“Didn't you stay in Los Angeles?”(你不留在洛杉矶了吗?)她和室友相处得一直很好,平时互相照顾,互相帮忙,她从来没有听室友说过毕业后要走的事,听到这个消息,一时之间有些难以接受。
“Yes, my parents asked me to go back to Pennsylvania, saying they had arranged a job for me. I didn't really care either way, so I just agreed with them.”(对呀,我父母让我回宾州了,说给我安排好了工作,我本身也无所谓就答应了他们呗。)
室友满不在乎地说着,沈若斐就也只好暗自感叹外国人家里都有背景,只有自己这个从中国来要死要活还满怀渴望地回去创业显得多么狼狈艰苦。 “That's great! Then I wish you a smooth journey. I won't rent the dormitory anymore. I'll go back to my home instead.”(挺好的呀,那祝你一路顺风,后面宿舍我也不租了,回家里住。) “Well, that's true. Your home is not far from here, and it's quite convenient to drive over.”(嗯也是,你家离这不远,开个车也挺方便的。)
“Serena,”室友再度开口,“People like you who are so determined to strive forward are quite rare. You are excellent. I admire you. So, sincerely wish you a bright future.”(像你这样如此奋进的人很少,你很优秀,我很羡慕你,也衷心祝愿你以后有个好未来。)
“Thank you, Micky.I'm already moved by your words.”(谢谢你Micky,我被你的话打动了。) “I have classes to attend later, so I won't say any more. Let's go. Bye!”(我等下还有课,就先不说了,走了啊拜拜。) 沈若斐没话题了,只想赶上高数课。
