星期五下午，天突然黑了下来。
Xīngqī wǔ xiàwǔ, tiān tūrán hēi le xiàlái.
On Friday afternoon the sky suddenly turned dark.
我刚走出地铁站，大雨就下来了。
Wǒ gāng zǒu chū dìtiě zhàn, dà yǔ jiù xiàlái le.
I had just walked out of the subway station when the heavy rain came.
我没有带伞，只好站在一家小店的门口。
Wǒ méiyǒu dài sǎn, zhǐhǎo zhàn zài yì jiā xiǎo diàn de ménkǒu.
I had no umbrella with me, so I had to stand at the door of a small shop.
雨越下越大，路上的人跑来跑去。
Yǔ yuè xià yuè dà, lùshang de rén pǎo lái pǎo qù.
The rain fell harder and harder, and people on the street ran here and there.
我旁边站着一位阿姨，她手里拿着两把伞。
Wǒ pángbiān zhàn zhe yí wèi āyí, tā shǒu lǐ ná zhe liǎng bǎ sǎn.
Next to me stood an auntie holding two umbrellas.
她看了看我，把一把黑伞递给我。
Tā kàn le kàn wǒ, bǎ yì bǎ hēi sǎn dì gěi wǒ.
She looked at me and handed me a black umbrella.
她说自己家就在前面，走几步就到了。
Tā shuō zìjǐ jiā jiù zài qiánmiàn, zǒu jǐ bù jiù dào le.
She said her home was just ahead, only a few steps away.
我问她住在哪儿，想把伞还给她。
Wǒ wèn tā zhù zài nǎr, xiǎng bǎ sǎn hái gěi tā.
I asked where she lived so that I could return the umbrella.
她笑着说不用了，这没有什么。
Tā xiào zhe shuō búyòng le, zhè méiyǒu shénme.
She smiled and said no need, it was nothing.
我一直问，她才说了自己家的地址。
Wǒ yìzhí wèn, tā cái shuō le zìjǐ jiā de dìzhǐ.
I kept asking, and only then did she give her address.
她家在一条小路上，门口有一棵大树。
Tā jiā zài yì tiáo xiǎo lùshang, ménkǒu yǒu yì kē dà shù.
Her home was on a small road, with a big tree at the door.
第二天是晴天，我拿着伞去找她。
Dì èr tiān shì qíng tiān, wǒ ná zhe sǎn qù zhǎo tā.
The next day was sunny, and I took the umbrella to find her.
我在那条小路上走了三遍，也没有找到大树。
Wǒ zài nà tiáo xiǎo lùshang zǒu le sān biàn, yě méiyǒu zhǎo dào dà shù.
I walked that small road three times but could not find the big tree.
一位老爷爷告诉我，路边的树去年就没有了。
Yí wèi lǎo yéye gàosu wǒ, lùbiān de shù qùnián jiù méiyǒu le.
An old grandpa told me the trees by the road had been gone since last year.
原来我把树记错了地方。
Yuánlái wǒ bǎ shù jì cuò le dìfang.
It turned out I had remembered the wrong place for the tree.
我又急又不好意思，在路边站了很久。
Wǒ yòu jí yòu bù hǎoyìsi, zài lùbiān zhàn le hěn jiǔ.
Feeling anxious and embarrassed, I stood by the road for a long time.
这时，那位阿姨从小路那边走了过来。
Zhè shí, nà wèi āyí cóngxiǎo lù nàbiān zǒu le guòlái.
Just then, that auntie came over from the other end of the road.
她手里提着一些水果，看见我就笑了。
Tā shǒu lǐ tí zhe yìxiē shuǐguǒ, kànjiàn wǒ jiù xiào le.
She was carrying some fruit, and she smiled when she saw me.
她说她每个星期六都来这里看老朋友。
Tā shuō tā měi gè xīngqī liù dōu lái zhèlǐ kàn lǎo péngyou.
She said she came here every Saturday to visit an old friend.
我把伞还给她，又说了好几次谢谢。
Wǒ bǎ sǎn hái gěi tā, yòu shuō le hǎo jǐ cì xièxie.
I returned the umbrella to her and said thank you several times.
她说，借出去的东西能回来，就很高兴。
Tā shuō, jiè chūqù de dōngxi néng huílái, jiù hěn gāoxìng.
She said she was just happy that something lent out could come back.
回家的路上，太阳很大，一点雨也没有。
Huí jiā de lùshang, tàiyáng hěn dà, yì diǎn yǔ yě méiyǒu.
On my way home the sun was bright and there was no rain at all.
可我把那把黑伞记在了心里。
Kě wǒ bǎ nà bǎ hēi sǎn jì zài le xīnlǐ.
But I kept that black umbrella in my heart.
从那以后，我的包里总放着两把伞。
Cóng nà yǐhòu, wǒ de bāo lǐ zǒng fàng zhe liǎng bǎ sǎn.
Since then, I have always kept two umbrellas in my bag.
