Selin carries a tall stack of books down the office stairs. On the fourth step, the stack slips. Books fall in every direction.
塞琳抱着一大摞书走下办公楼的楼梯。走到第四级台阶时，书堆滑了下来。书朝四面八方掉落。
"Oh no," she says, and kneels down to gather them.
“哦不，”她说着，蹲下去捡。
A man on the stairs below stops and turns around. "Let me help," he says. He picks up three books and hands them back to her.
下面几级台阶上的一个男人停住脚步，转过身来。“我来帮你，”他说。他捡起三本书，递还给她。
"Thank you," Selin says. "I always carry too many at once."
“谢谢你，”塞琳说，“我总是一次拿太多。”
"I do the same with coffee cups," he says. "My name is Gabriel."
“我拿咖啡杯的时候也是这样，”他说，“我叫加布里埃尔。”
"Selin," she says. "I work on the third floor."
“塞琳，”她说，“我在三楼工作。”
"I'm on the fifth," Gabriel says. "I never come down this way. But today I took the stairs instead."
“我在五楼，”加布里埃尔说，“我从来不走这边。不过今天我走了楼梯。”
They carry the books together to Selin's office door.
他们一起把书拿到塞琳的办公室门口。
"Thanks again," she says. "You saved me a lot of time."
“再次感谢，”她说，“你帮我省了好多时间。”
"Anytime," Gabriel says. He starts to walk back toward the stairs, then stops. "Maybe I'll start taking the stairs every day," he says.
“随时效劳，”加布里埃尔说。他转身朝楼梯走去，又停了下来。“也许我该每天都走楼梯，”他说。
The next week, Selin sees Gabriel on the stairs again. This time, he carries his own stack of papers. She smiles and holds the door open for him.
下一周，塞琳又在楼梯上看见了加布里埃尔。这一次，他抱着自己的一叠文件。她笑着为他扶住了门。
"Let's start a stair club," she jokes.
“我们成立一个楼梯俱乐部吧，”她开玩笑地说。
Gabriel laughs. "I'm in," he says, and they walk down together.
加布里埃尔笑了。“我加入，”他说，两人一起走了下去。
