On Monday, a new girl named Ada stands alone at lunch. All the tables are full. She holds her tray and looks at the floor.
星期一,一个叫艾达的新女孩独自站在午餐队伍旁。所有桌子都坐满了。她端着餐盘,低头看着地面。
Sam waves from the window table. “We have one empty seat,” he calls. Ada walks over, but another boy puts his bag on the chair.
萨姆从窗边的桌子朝她挥手。“我们这儿有一个空位,”他喊道。艾达走过去,另一个男孩却把书包放在了椅子上。
“The bag can sit on the floor,” Sam says. He moves it and smiles. Ada sits down. By Friday, nobody needs to ask where she will sit.
“书包可以放地上,”萨姆说。他把书包挪开,笑了笑。艾达坐了下来。到了星期五,已经没人需要问她该坐哪儿了。
