今天上海下了一整天的雨。这种天气,最适合取消所有的计划,找个地方安安静静地待着。
It rained all day in Shanghai today. This kind of weather is best for canceling all plans and finding a quiet place to stay.
没有去热闹的商场,而是去了一家常去的独立书店。点了一杯热茶,听着窗外的雨声和店里轻微的爵士乐。
Didn’t go to a lively shopping mall, but went to an independent bookstore I often visit. Ordered a hot tea, listening to the rain outside and the soft jazz music in the store.
店员:“今天雨真大,您慢慢看。”
(Dian yuan: Jin tian yu zhen da, nin man man kan.)
Clerk: “The rain is really heavy today, take your time.”你:“谢谢,正好想在这里躲躲雨。”
(Ni: Xie xie, zheng hao xiang zai zhe li duo duo yu.)
You: “Thanks, perfect timing to hide from the rain here.”
看着窗外打着伞匆匆走过的行人,突然觉得,能在这个快节奏的城市里拥有一个无所事事的下午,是一件极其奢侈的事情。
Looking at the pedestrians rushing by with umbrellas outside the window, I suddenly felt that having an idle afternoon in this fast-paced city is an extremely luxurious thing.
以前总觉得时间要用来做点什么,现在慢慢懂得,发呆也是一种生活。听着雨声,让脑袋彻底放空,其实是一种很好的休息。
I used to think time had to be spent doing something, but now I gradually understand that blanking out is also a part of life. Listening to the rain and letting the mind completely empty is actually a very good rest.
