Boone finds a bunch of flowers on his doorstep one morning. There is no card and no name.
一天早上,布恩在门前台阶上发现了一束花。没有卡片,也没有署名。
He asks his neighbor Soleil if she saw anyone. Soleil is good at noticing small details.
他问邻居索莱伊有没有看见什么人。索莱伊很善于留意小细节。
"I saw a delivery van around seven," Soleil says. "But I didn't see who rang your bell."
“我七点左右看见一辆送货车,”索莱伊说,“但我没看见是谁按了你家的门铃。”
Boone checks the flowers for any clue. He finds a small shop sticker on the wrapping paper.
布恩在花束里找线索。他在包装纸上发现了一个小小的花店标签。
"The sticker says 'Corner Blooms,'" he says. "That shop is on Fifth Street."
“标签上写着‘街角花坊’,”他说,“那家店在第五街。”
Soleil offers to help him find out who sent the flowers. "Let's walk over and ask," she says.
索莱伊提出帮他查出是谁送的花。“我们走过去问问吧,”她说。
At the shop, a worker checks the order book. "These went to house number 12 this morning," she says.
在花店里,一位店员查了订单簿。“今天早上这些花送到了12号,”她说。
"That's my house," Boone says. "But who paid for them?"
“那是我家,”布恩说,“可是谁付的钱呢?”
The worker looks closer. "The name is hard to read. Let me check the computer," she says.
店员凑近看了看。“名字不太好认。我查一下电脑,”她说。
She checks the computer and smiles. "Your sister ordered these. She says happy birthday."
她查了电脑,笑了起来。“是你姐姐订的。她说生日快乐。”
Boone laughs and slaps his forehead. "I completely forgot my own birthday," he says.
布恩笑着拍了一下自己的额头。“我竟然把自己的生日忘得一干二净,”他说。
Soleil laughs too. "Well, your sister didn't forget," she says. "Let's get a coffee to celebrate."
索莱伊也笑了。“可你姐姐没忘,”她说,“我们去喝杯咖啡庆祝一下吧。”
They leave the shop together. Boone carries the flowers all the way home.
他们一起离开了花店。布恩捧着花一路走回了家。
