Tobin visits the same bakery every Saturday morning. He always orders one loaf of bread. Today the shop looks different.
托宾每个星期六早上都去同一家面包店。他总是买一个面包。今天,店里看起来有点不一样。
A sign stands by the door. It says, "No bread today. Oven broken." Tobin stops and reads it twice.
门口立着一块牌子,上面写着:“今日无面包,烤箱故障。”托宾停下来,读了两遍。
He steps inside anyway. The owner, Delia, waves from behind the counter. "Sorry, Tobin," she says. "Our big oven stopped working."
他还是走了进去。老板德莉娅在柜台后面向他招手。“对不起,托宾,”她说,“我们的大烤箱坏了。”
"That's okay," Tobin says. "I can come back next week."
“没关系,”托宾说,“我下周再来。”
"Wait," Delia says. "Try something new today." She points to a tray of small orange rolls.
“等一下,”德莉娅说,“今天试试新东西吧。”她指着一盘橙色的小面包卷。
"What are these?" Tobin asks. "A new recipe," Delia says. "Sweet rolls with orange peel."
“这是什么?”托宾问。“新配方,”德莉娅说,“加了橙皮的甜面包卷。”
Tobin picks one up and smells it. It smells warm and sweet. He takes a small bite.
托宾拿起一个,闻了闻。闻起来又暖又甜。他咬了一小口。
His eyes open wide. "This is really good," he says. "I like this a lot."
他的眼睛一下子睁大了。“真好吃,”他说,“我特别喜欢。”
Delia smiles and wraps six rolls for him. "Take these home," she says. "The oven works again next week."
德莉娅笑了笑,给他包了六个面包卷。“带回家吧,”她说,“下周烤箱就修好了。”
Tobin pays and carries his warm bag outside. He smells the rolls all the way home. Bread can wait until next week.
托宾付了钱,提着暖暖的纸袋走到外面。一路上,他都闻着面包卷的香味回到家。面包可以等到下周。
