Tavi planned to move to a new city soon. Her friends wanted to say goodbye properly. Two different groups planned two different parties.
塔维不久后就要搬到一座新城市了。朋友们想好好地和她道别。两个不同的小圈子各自筹划了一场聚会。
Ilse and the soccer team planned a picnic. Wynn and the art club planned a quiet café dinner. Both parties landed on the same Saturday.
伊尔斯和足球队计划办一场野餐。温和美术社计划在咖啡馆安静地吃顿晚饭。两场聚会偏偏定在了同一个星期六。
Tavi loved both groups equally. She played soccer with Ilse for six years. She painted next to Wynn every week this year.
塔维对这两群人都一样喜爱。她和伊尔斯一起踢了六年足球。今年她每周都和温并排画画。
She called Ilse first. "I want to come to the picnic," Tavi said. "But Wynn planned something for the same day."
她先给伊尔斯打了电话。“我想去参加野餐,”塔维说,“可是温在同一天也安排了活动。”
Ilse laughed. "Wynn already told me," she said. "Come to us in the afternoon. Go to them after."
伊尔斯笑了。“温已经告诉我了,”她说,“下午来我们这儿,之后再去她们那儿。”
Tavi liked that idea a lot. She called Wynn and explained the new plan. Wynn agreed right away. She just wanted to see Tavi.
塔维非常喜欢这个主意。她给温打电话,说了新的安排。温立刻就答应了。她只是想见塔维一面。
On Saturday, Tavi spent the afternoon at the picnic. The soccer team played one last game together. Tavi scored the final goal of the day.
星期六,塔维下午去参加了野餐。足球队一起踢了最后一场球。塔维踢进了当天的最后一个球。
At six o'clock, she said goodbye to the team. She walked straight to the small café down the street. Wynn already had a seat saved for her.
六点钟,她和球队的伙伴们道别。她径直走向街那头的小咖啡馆。温已经给她留好了座位。
The art club gave her a card. It held all their drawings. Tavi opened it slowly at the table. Every page held a small piece of the year.
美术社送给她一张卡片。里面贴满了大家的画。塔维在桌边慢慢地打开它。每一页都藏着这一年里的一小段时光。
She hugged Wynn and looked around the table. "Two parties, one really good day," she said. She promised to send pictures from her new city.
她拥抱了温,环视着桌边的大家。“两场聚会,一个特别美好的日子,”她说。她答应会从新城市寄照片给大家。
