Idris arrives early to math class every day. He likes the quiet room before the bell. He usually reads a book alone.
伊德里斯每天都早早来到数学课教室。他喜欢铃响前安静的教室。他通常一个人看书。
Today, a classmate named Priscilla sits two seats away. She stares at her homework with a worried face. She erases the same problem three times.
今天，一位名叫普里西拉的同学坐在隔了两个座位的地方。她盯着自己的作业，一脸忧愁。她把同一道题擦了三遍。
Idris notices her frustration from across the room. He does not know Priscilla very well. He decides to offer help.
伊德里斯从房间的另一头注意到了她的烦恼。他和普里西拉不太熟。他决定主动帮忙。
"Do you want help with that problem?" he asks quietly. Priscilla looks up, surprised. "Yes, please," she says. "I don't understand this part."
“你需要我帮你看看那道题吗？”他轻声问。普里西拉抬起头，有些意外。“好啊，谢谢。”她说。“这一部分我不明白。”
Idris moves to the seat next to her. He points at the first step of the problem. "Try this part first," he says.
伊德里斯换到了她旁边的座位。他指着这道题的第一步。“先试试这一部分。”他说。
Priscilla tries his idea on her paper. The numbers start to look clear. She solves the rest of the problem herself.
普里西拉在纸上试了他的思路。数字开始变得清晰起来。剩下的题她自己做完了。
"Thank you very much," Priscilla says. "I did not understand this for a long time."
“非常感谢，”普里西拉说，“这个我很久都没弄明白。”
"You're welcome," Idris says. "I like math a lot."
“不客气，”伊德里斯说，“我很喜欢数学。”
The teacher walks in and starts the lesson. Priscilla smiles at Idris across the room.
老师走进来，开始上课。普里西拉隔着教室对伊德里斯笑了笑。
