瞬间秒杀听力 第539期:雨中小歇

 

 One afternoon,on the way home from work,

Gina got caught in a horrible rainstorm.

It was pouring outside,

and she didn't have an umbrella 

or anything else to cover her head.

She decided¹ to get out of the rain 

and wait out the storm.

In front of her was a little coffee shop.

She found a table and ordered a cup of coffee.

She enjoyed sitting there in that little coffee shop,

listening to the soothing² music.

Just as the waitress brought her coffee,

it stopped raining.

某个下午，吉娜在下班回家的路上

遇上了一场很大的暴风雨。

外面是倾盆大雨，

而她又没有伞或其他东西来遮头。

她决定避一下雨，等到这场暴风雨停止再说。

在她前面有一家小咖啡店。

她找了一张桌子并点了一杯咖啡。

她喜欢坐在小咖啡店里听抒情的音乐。

正当女服务生端咖啡来的时候，雨停了。
