Nour walks up to the bakery counter. She looks at the last chocolate croissant on the shelf. At the same moment, another hand reaches for it too.
努尔走到面包店的柜台前。她看见架子上最后一个巧克力牛角包。就在这时,另一只手也伸向了它。
"Oh, sorry," the man says, and pulls his hand back. "You go ahead."
“哦,抱歉,”那个男人说着,把手缩了回去,“你先拿吧。”
"No, please," Nour says. "You were here first."
“不用,请你先拿,”努尔说,“是你先到的。”
They both step back and look at each other.
两个人都退后一步,看着对方。
"Let's split it," the man says. "I'm Tomasz."
“我们分着吃吧,”男人说,“我叫托马什。”
"Nour," she says. "That sounds fair."
“我叫努尔,”她说,“这样听起来很公平。”
The woman behind the counter smiles and cuts the croissant in half. She wraps each piece and hands them over the counter.
柜台后面的女店员笑了笑,把牛角包切成两半。她把两块分别包好,从柜台上递了过去。
Nour and Tomasz sit down at a small table near the window. Each holds half a croissant and a cup of coffee.
努尔和托马什在靠窗的小桌旁坐下。两人各拿着半个牛角包和一杯咖啡。
"I almost never come here this early," Tomasz says. "I had an early meeting today."
“我几乎从来不会这么早来这儿,”托马什说,“我今天有个早会。”
"I usually come at noon," Nour says. "Today I woke up early for no reason."
“我一般中午来,”努尔说,“今天我无缘无故醒得很早。”
They talk about the bakery's other pastries. They agree the chocolate croissant always sells out fast.
他们聊起了这家面包店的其他点心。两人都同意,巧克力牛角包总是卖得很快。
"Next time, I'll come early and buy two," Tomasz says.
“下次我早点来,买两个,”托马什说。
"Or we can just share again," Nour says with a smile.
“或者我们可以再分着吃,”努尔笑着说。
They finish their coffee. Tomasz asks for her number before they leave for work.
他们喝完了咖啡。临走去上班之前,托马什向她要了电话号码。
