【ENGLISH TRANSLATION】Chinese story 《新雪地靴》

Post by xiaozhans_xfx___ »

Another repost LOL.
The plotline of this story is ficticious and has nothing to do with events of real life.

小叶刚刚就下班了。她一去外面就发现下了大雪,是今年的初雪。她想马上告诉她的朋友肖战。

小叶(在微信上):战战,初雪来了!开心吗?

肖战:嗯,非常激动!我家乡没有下雪,所以每次下雪我很着迷。你想一起看初雪吗?

小叶:想!我们在哪里见面?

肖战:我去你的公司,等我啊~

小叶:好,我等你。

--

肖战坐公共汽车去小叶的公司,一看到了小叶就挥手。小叶也挥手。

肖战:看,在轻轻的风里雪花飘了!

小叶:哇,很漂亮!

肖战:非常漂亮!你看!用舌头上抓雪花

小叶笑了。肖战像一个小孩子一样。

他们开始在雪里一起走路。在路上,小叶注意到肖战的鞋子,不合适天气。若肖战不小心有可能摔倒了。

小叶:战战,你没有雪地靴吗?

肖战看他的脚,也看到了小叶的。

肖战:你也没有。

小叶:有啊,但是今早没想到会下雪,所以我没穿我的雪地靴。

肖战:站住。

小叶听他说。

肖战把小叶抱起来。

小叶受惊喜,脸红一点儿。

小叶:干嘛!小心一点!

肖战:雪很深,走路不易。我宁愿抱着你,也不愿让你摔倒。快告诉我,我们在哪里可以买雪地靴?

--

他们不久到达了鞋子店。肖战有点累坏了。他把小叶放下了,然后他们两个去找雪地靴。

他们找到了棕色的雪地靴,又便宜又好质量。他们买了两双雪地靴,马上穿。

肖战:舒服吗?

小叶:嗯,你选得好。谢谢为了买这双雪地靴给我。

肖战:没得问题。你是我的好朋友,我至少应该把这双靴子买给你。来,我们出去玩吧!

--

他们一天到晚在雪里玩。

Title: 《New Snow Boots》

Xiao Ye just got off work. As soon as she went outside, she discovered it had snowed heavily, the first snow of this year. She wanted to tell her friend Xiao Zhan right away.

Xiao Ye (on WeChat): Zhan Zhan, the first snow is here! Are you happy?

Xiao Zhan: Yeah, I am very excited! It doesn't snow in my hometown, so every time it snows I am fascinated. Do you want to see the first snow together?

Xiao Ye: Yes! Where shall we meet?

Xiao Zhan: I'll go to your workplace, wait for me~

Xiao Ye: Ok, I'll wait for you.

--

Xiao Zhan rode a bus to Xiao Ye's company and as soon as he saw Xiao Ye he waved. Xiao Ye also waved.

Xiao Zhan: Look, the snowflakes are floating in the gentle wind!

Xiao Ye: Wow, it's beautiful!

Xiao Zhan: Very beautiful! Look! Uses his tongue to catch snowflakes

Xiao Ye smiled. Xiao Zhan is exactly like a little child.

They began to walk together in the snow. On the way, Xiao Ye noticed that Xiao Zhan's shoes were not suitable for the weather. If Xiao Zhan is not careful, he may fall.

Xiao Ye: Zhan Zhan, don't you have snow boots?

Xiao Zhan looked at his feet and also saw Xiao Ye's.

Xiao Zhan: Neither do you.

Xiao Ye: I do, but I didn't expect it to snow this morning, so I didn't wear my snow boots.

Xiao Zhan: Stop.

Xiao Ye listened to him.

Xiao Zhan picked up Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was surprised and blushed a little.

Xiao Ye: What are you doing! Be careful!

Xiao Zhan: The snow is deep and it is not easy to walk. I would rather hold you than let you fall. Quickly tell me, where can we buy snow boots?

--

They arrived at the shoe shop soon. Xiao Zhan was a little tired. He put Xiao Ye down, and then the two of them went to find snow boots.

They finally found brown snow boots, both cheap and good quality. They bought two pairs of snow boots and put them on immediately.

Xiao Zhan: Are they comfortable?

Xiao Ye: Yeah, you chose well. Thank you for buying these snow boots for me.

Xiao Zhan: No problem. You are my good friend, I should at least buy you these boots. Come, let's go out and play!

--

They played in the snow all day long.
