The office got a brand new coffee machine on Monday. It had five buttons and one small screen. Nobody knew the right way to use it.
星期一，办公室来了一台崭新的咖啡机。它有五个按钮和一块小屏幕。没有人知道正确的用法。
Several coworkers tried the machine that morning. One got only hot water. Another got coffee grounds all over the counter.
那天早上，好几位同事都试了试这台机器。有人只接到了热水。还有人弄得整个台面都是咖啡渣。
Wanjiru watched everyone struggle from her desk. She decided to read the small manual. It sat unopened in a drawer.
万吉鲁在自己的座位上看着大家手忙脚乱。她决定去看看那本小说明书。它一直没拆封，放在抽屉里。
She found the manual under old takeout menus. She read the first page carefully. The trick was one hidden button on the side.
她在一堆旧外卖菜单下面找到了说明书。她仔细读了第一页。诀窍在于侧面有一个隐藏的按钮。
Wanjiru pressed the power button and waited five seconds. She pressed the hidden side button next. Perfect coffee poured into her cup.
万吉鲁按下电源键，等了五秒钟。接着她按了侧面那个隐藏的按钮。一杯完美的咖啡流进了她的杯子里。
Her coworkers gathered around in surprise. "How did you do that?" one asked. "There's a hidden button," Wanjiru said.
同事们惊讶地围了过来。“你是怎么做到的？”一个人问。“有一个隐藏的按钮。”万吉鲁说。
She showed them the button one by one. Everyone tried it and got real coffee. The office cheered a small, happy cheer.
她一个一个地给他们演示那个按钮。每个人试了之后，都接到了真正的咖啡。办公室里响起了一阵小小的欢呼。
Wanjiru printed simple instructions on one page. She taped the page above the machine. Everyone read it before their next cup.
万吉鲁把简单的使用说明打印在一页纸上。她把这页纸贴在机器上方。每个人在接下一杯咖啡之前都会看一看。
The coffee machine worked well all week.
这台咖啡机整个星期都运转良好。
