The Storm During Their First Date

Owen waits outside the food trucks at six o'clock. This is his first date with Maren. He checks his phone two times.

欧文六点钟在餐车外面等着。这是他和玛伦的第一次约会。他看了两遍手机。

Maren arrives a few minutes late. "Sorry, the bus was slow," she says. "No problem at all," Owen says with a smile.

玛伦晚到了几分钟。“抱歉，公交车太慢了，”她说。“一点也没关系，”欧文笑着说。

They walk past the food trucks and pick one with noodles. They carry their food to a small table outside.

他们走过一排餐车，挑了一家卖面条的。他们端着食物，坐到外面的一张小桌旁。

The sky turns gray while they eat. Owen looks up and says, "I think it's going to rain soon."

他们吃饭的时候，天空变成了灰色。欧文抬头说：“我想快要下雨了。”

Big drops fall on the table. Maren laughs and grabs her bag. "Run!" she shouts.

大雨点落在桌子上。玛伦笑着抓起包。“快跑！”她喊道。

They run under a store roof nearby. The rain falls hard and fast. Their noodles get wet, but they don't stop laughing.

他们跑到附近一家商店的屋檐下。雨下得又大又急。面条被淋湿了，但他们笑个不停。

"Well, this isn't the date I planned," Owen says. Maren laughs again. "It's fun this way too," she says.

“唉，这可不是我计划的约会，”欧文说。玛伦又笑了。“这样也很有趣，”她说。

They stand under the roof and watch the rain. Maren asks about his job. Owen asks about her trip last month.

他们站在屋檐下看雨。玛伦问起他的工作。欧文问起她上个月的旅行。

The rain stops after twenty minutes. The street looks clean and wet. "Same time next week?" Owen asks.

二十分钟后，雨停了。街道又湿又干净。“下周同一时间？”欧文问。

Maren smiles and nods. "Bring an umbrella this time," she says. They walk to the bus stop together. They talk about the wet noodles.

玛伦笑着点点头。“这回记得带伞，”她说。他们一起走向公交车站。他们聊着那碗淋湿的面条。
