《The Borrowed Umbrella》封面

Nadia left work quickly on a rainy afternoon. She grabbed an umbrella from the stand by the door.

一个下雨的下午,娜迪亚匆匆下了班。她从门边的伞架上抓了一把伞。

She opened it outside and walked to the bus stop. The umbrella kept her dry all the way home.

她在外面把伞撑开,走到公交站。这把伞一路上都让她没被淋湿,直到回家。

At home, Nadia looked at the umbrella closely. It was dark blue, not black like hers.

到家后,娜迪亚仔细看了看这把伞。它是深蓝色的,不是她那把黑色的。

She saw small white letters near the handle. They spelled out "J.K."

她在伞柄附近看到几个白色的小字母,拼出来是“J.K.”。

Nadia's umbrella did not have any letters on it. She picked up the wrong one by mistake.

娜迪亚的伞上没有任何字母。她拿错伞了。

The next morning, she brought the blue umbrella back to the office. She put it back on the stand.

第二天早上,她把蓝伞带回了办公室,放回伞架上。

A coworker named Jonah walked over. "Did you see my umbrella?" he asked. "It's dark blue with my initials."

一个叫乔纳的同事走了过来。“你看到我的伞了吗?”他问,“深蓝色的,上面有我名字的首字母。”

"I think I took it home by mistake," Nadia said. "I'm very sorry. Here it is."

“我想我是错拿回家了,”娜迪亚说,“真对不起。伞在这儿。”

Jonah smiled. "No problem. Rainy days confuse everyone's umbrellas."

乔纳笑了。“没关系。下雨天,大家的伞都容易弄混。”

Nadia found her own black umbrella under her desk. It was there the whole time.

娜迪亚在自己的桌子底下找到了她的黑伞。它一直就在那里。

She laughed and told Jonah the whole story. They both agreed to check umbrellas carefully next time.

她笑着把整件事讲给乔纳听。他们都同意,下次要仔细看清自己的伞。
