“吱呀——” 门被推开,一个男生探进头来。 “Sorry,I considered there hasn't been used.”(不好意思,我以为这没人用。)说着,他便准备转身退出去。
目光在移开的刹那,男生再度开口:“Serena?”
女人听到自己的名字,回过头。 “Ryan?”
门口的男生笑着走进来,语气带着几分无奈:“I came to the library to study by myself. I searched for several study rooms, but they were all occupied. I didn't expect you to be here either.”(我来图书馆自习,找了好几间自习室,都坐满了,没想到你也在这。)
沈若斐笑着指了指自己身边的空位,说道:“We still have some empty seats here. Would you like to join us?”(我们这里还有空位,你要不一起坐?)
“Really? Thank you so much!”(真的吗?那太谢谢你了。)Ryan欣喜不已,走到空位上坐了下来。
“Oh, Ryan.They are exchangers who also come from China.This is Jason,this is Katie.”(哦,Ryan,这是来自中国的交换生,这是Jason,这是Katie。) “Nice to meet you two.”(很高兴见到你们) “Nice to meet you.”(很高兴见到你)
三人简单打过招呼。 “Serena,is this your coffee?”(Serena这是你的咖啡吗?)Ryan问道。
沈若斐笑着点了点头:“emm... It was Jason,he bought it for me.”(emm...是Jason给我买的。)
Ryan闻言,假装笑笑:“It's a pity. When I came over just now, I also brought you a cup of Americano with sugar. I thought you might like it.”(太遗憾了,我刚才过来的时候,也给你带了一杯美式,加了糖,还以为你会喜欢呢。)
沈若斐露出尴尬而又感激的笑容,连忙说道:“Thank you, Ryan. But I already have one cup. Drinking so much more coffee will keep me awake at night. Please have it yourself.”(谢谢你,Ryan。可是我已经有一杯了,再喝这么多咖啡,晚上会睡不着觉,你自己喝吧。)
“Fine.”(好吧)Ryan无奈地笑了笑,只好把咖啡放在自己面前,没有再多说什么。
自进门开始,Ryan就感觉不太对,一看对面这位Jason正盯着自己看。
就在这时,沈若斐突然想起了什么,对许严说:“Jason,刚才你不是问我高数的一个知识点吗?我想起来了,Ryan的高数特别厉害,当时我高数补测,就是Ryan帮我辅导,我才顺利通过的。你要是还有什么不懂的地方,就让Ryan帮你提点一下,他肯定能帮到你。” “Ryan, Jason is not good at advanced math. Aren't you quite good at it? Could you please help me teach him?”(Ryan,Jason高数不是很好,你不是很擅长吗?你能不能帮我教一下他?)
话音未落,Ryan就已经站起身,挪了挪椅子,走到了许严的身边,一把拉过他面前的高数书,假面笑着说道:“No matter. Helping each other is what's expected. The advanced mathematics does have some difficult concepts. Let me take a look and maybe it can help you clarify your thinking.”(不麻烦不麻烦,互相帮助是应该的。高数确实有一些知识点比较难,我帮你看看,说不定能帮你理清思路。)
许严看着已经坐过来的Ryan,只好强颜欢笑,一字一顿地说:“That's really very kind of you, Ryan.”(那真是太谢谢你了Ryan学长。)
“It's my pleasure,Jason.”(是我的荣幸,Jason。) Ryan说着翻开高数书,问他不懂的知识点,耐心地讲解起来。还时不时地还会提问许严,确保他能听懂。
