Two friends sit in the library during the last days of the school year. One dreams of going abroad, while the other just wants to open a little coffee shop.
Two Months Until Graduation
图书馆快关门了,小丽还在看一本厚厚的书。
The library was about to close, but Xiaoli was still buried in a thick book.
Xiaoming
你怎么还在看英语呀?都晚上九点了。
How come you're still studying English? It's already nine o'clock at night.
Xiaoli
再过两个月就了,我想出国,外语得快点提高。
We graduate in two months. I want to study abroad, so I need to get my language skills up fast.
Xiaoming
出国?那护照、什么的,你都准备好了吗?
Go abroad? So your passport, visa, and all that—have you got everything ready?
Xiaoli
护照办好了,还在等。你呢,将来想做什么?
The passport's done; I'm still waiting on the visa. What about you—what do you want to do in the future?
A Little Coffee Shop
Xiaoming
我啊,我想开一家小小的。
Me? I want to open a tiny little coffee shop.
Xiaoming
店里放点音乐,谁累了都能进来坐坐、聊聊天。
Some music playing inside, where anyone who's tired can drop in, sit for a while, and chat.
Xiaoli
听起来真不错,可是开店哪有那么容易,钱呢?
That sounds really nice, but opening a shop isn't that easy—what about the money?
Xiaoming
我周末一直在咖啡店,一边,一边学怎么。
I've been working part-time at a café every weekend—saving up money and learning how to run the place at the same time.
Xiaoli
原来你早就开始准备了,我还以为你只是说说呢。
So you've been preparing for ages—I thought you were just talking.
A Promise for Years to Come
图书馆的灯一盏一盏地灭了,两个人慢慢往门口走。
The library lights went out one by one as the two of them slowly walked toward the door.
Xiaoli
我们的路不一样,可都得拼命才行啊。
Our paths are different, but we both have to work our hardest to make it.
Xiaoming
几年以后,等你回国,我的肯定开起来了。
A few years from now, by the time you come home, my coffee shop will definitely be up and running.
Xiaoli
那第一杯咖啡可得给我留着,免费的!
Then you'd better save the first cup of coffee for me—on the house!
Xiaoming
没问题,咱们各自加油吧!
No problem—let's each give it our all!
