Maria was on her way home from school. Mike had called her telling her he was locked out of the house. She was about twenty minutes away from the apartment. It was raining like there was no tomorrow, and Maria had to drive a little slower because of it. Maria did not like this kind of weather. As Maria was driving home, she had the radio on. She was listening to talk radio.
玛丽亚在她放学回家的路上，迈克打电话给她，告诉她他被关在外面。她离公寓大约还有二十分钟的路程。雨很大，感觉天就要塌下来一样，因此玛丽亚把车开慢了一点。她不喜欢这样的天气，玛丽亚开车回家的路上，她打开了收音机在听广播。
There was not a lot of traffic on the road, so Maria was able to arrive sooner than she had expected. Maria pulled up to the driveway and saw Mike"s car parked. She noticed that he was not in the car. She parked her car on the curb and called Mike on her cell phone. "Where are you?" she asked over the phone. Mike told her of what had happened, and that he was at the neighbor"s house. Maria said she was unlocking the door, and that it was safe to come home now.
路上没有堵车，所以玛丽亚能比她预期的更早回到了家。玛丽亚开到车道上，看到了迈克的车停在了这里，发现到他不在车里。她把车停在路边然后打了迈克的电话。“你在哪里？”她在电话里问道。迈克告诉她发生了什么事，他在邻居的房子。玛丽亚说马上把门打开，现在可以回家了。
The rain had stopped falling. The clouds in the sky had not cleared. Maria turned off her car and got out of it. She walked towards her apartment, avoiding puddles along the way. She made her way into the apartment. Mike arrived shortly after, wearing the clothes the neighbor had given him. "You look nice," Maria said to Mike when he came in through the door.
雨停了下来，天空中乌云还是没有散开。玛丽亚关上了车门。她朝她的公寓走去，避免路上的水坑。她走到了公寓，迈克不一会儿也到家了，穿着邻居借给了他的衣服。“你看起来不错哦。”当他从门口进来时玛丽亚对他说。
He laughed and told Maria about what had happened. The two of them went into the kitchen and sat down at the table. A few minutes later the rain came back. Mike and Maria looked out the window. Lighting struck the sky and the sound of thunder followed after. All of a sudden, the lights through out the apartment went out. Mike and Maria were looking at each other with eyes wide open. It was going to be dark soon.
他笑着告诉玛丽亚所发生的事情。他们两个走进厨房，坐在桌子上。几分钟后雨又下了起来。迈克和玛丽亚看着窗外，在一阵电闪雷鸣之后，突然间，房间里的灯光熄灭了。迈克和玛丽亚睁大眼睛看着对方，夜幕降临。
