22、Jayden Elster ...
-
从中午开始,外面就一直雷霆暴雨。东方余悠跟她的辅导老师请了假,自己在宿舍学习。
门突然开了,Lily从外面狼狈地冲进来,手里拿着一只球拍。
东方余悠:“Where have you been? It's raining cats and dogs!(你去哪儿了?外面雨下得跟下刀子似的!)”
Lily噗嗤一声笑了:“Raining cats and dogs? Who taught you that?(下刀子?谁教你的?)”
东方余悠:“I just think it's interesting, don't you?(我觉得挺有意思的,你不觉得吗?)”
Lily:“Kind of,(有一点儿吧)” 说着,Lily把手里的球拍递给她,“You play tennis?(你打网球?)”
东方余悠一脸疑惑:“No? Why?(不啊?为什么?)”
Lily:“Well, Jayden asked me to give this to you.(Jayden让我把它给你。)”
东方余悠半信半疑地接过球拍,拿在手里仔细地看了看。
Lily:“I don't think it's a bad thing.(我不觉得是件坏事。)”
东方余悠:“what?(什么?)”
Lily :“Playing tennis. We know you are going through some hardship. It's not easy, you are here by yourself, all alone. Sports can help.(打网球。我们知道你很难。这不容易,你自己一个人在这儿。运动可以帮到你。)”
东方余悠:“Yeah...(嗯...)” 她摆弄着手里的球拍,思绪还没有从中走出来。
Lily:“He said he's gonna be at East Meadow Court this Saturday.(Jayden说他周六会在East Meadow球场。)”
东方余悠抬起头看着Lily,不知道该说什么。她还没做好决定。她很想去,但却在犹豫。
Lily:“You know you better take a good advantage of him, he's good. He was world junior number 1 or something at some point. (你知道你最好好好占占他便宜,他还挺厉害的。他好像之前是青少年世界第一还是什么的。)”
东方余悠不敢相信自己听到的:“Are you serious?(真的假的?)”
这跟现实版“网球王子”有什么区别?!
Lily:“No kidding. Don't know why he didn't enter pro tho. What a shame! (当然了。不知道他为什么最后没转职业。太遗憾了!)”
东方余悠:“Oh My God...(我的天啊...)”
她赶紧打开电脑,在搜索框打下“Jayden”, 但是她突然意识到她还不知道他的姓氏。
东方余悠:“What's his last name?(他姓什么?)”
Lily:“Elster. Jayden Elster.”
东方余悠把名字输入进搜索框,回车。
第一条检索出的标题:“Tennis Phenom Jayden Elster, Tipped to Be Youngest Grand Slam Champion, Shocks Fans by Declining Pro Career(被誉为最有望成为最年轻大满贯得主的网球新星Jayden Elster,意外宣布不转为职业选手,引发热议)”
Lily也俯下身把脸凑向屏幕。
Lily:“Click in.(点进去。)”
东方余悠照做了。
全文并没有给出任何他拒绝转职业的理由。只是说和家人有关,家庭发生了一些变故。
东方余悠:“Family incidents. Sounds like my story.(家庭变故。听起来怎么跟我的故事差不多。)”
Lily:“That's weird. What kind of incident? His parents are fine, I've met both of them.(好奇怪。什么变故?他父母好好的,我还见过他们。)” 她接着说:“I knew he was good, but I didn't know he was THIS GOOD. I can't believe he's ever been on the news. I want to take a lesson from him.(我知道他很厉害,但是我不知道这么厉害。我不敢相信他还上过新闻。我都想跟他学了!)”
东方余悠:“You wanna go together this Saturday?(那周六要一起吗?)”她试探性地问。
Lily:“I can't, I’ve got a date.(我没办法,我有约了。)”她的脸上尽显遗憾,不知道是故意做出来的还是真的如此。
无论如何,东方余悠听到后松了一口气。
