Small Talk at a Laundromat

自助洗衣店里的闲聊

You are waiting beside the dryers at a laundromat on a weekend afternoon.

对话节选

先看看这个场景说了什么

  1. 对话 1

    Looks like we both chose the popular time to do laundry. Every dryer is having a very busy weekend.

    看起来我们都选了洗衣服的热门时段。每台烘干机这个周末都没闲着。

    中文提示

    Yes, I thought the afternoon would be quieter, but apparently everyone had the same idea.

    是啊,我以为下午会空一点,结果大家想法都一样。

  2. 对话 2

    I always tell myself I'll come early, and then Saturday morning disappears before I notice.

    我总跟自己说要早点来,然后周六早上还没反应过来就过去了。

    中文提示

    Same here. By the time I remember, the laundry basket was already overflowing.

    我也是。等我想起来时,洗衣篮已经满得不能再满了。

  3. 对话 3

    At least this place has chairs. The old laundromat near my apartment made waiting feel like punishment.

    至少这地方有椅子。我公寓附近旧的自助洗衣店让等待像受罚一样。

    中文提示

    Chairs really matter. I brought a book, but reading while standing is not relaxing at all.

    有椅子真的很重要。我带了书,但站着看一点都不放松。
