Diego works late most evenings, finishing reports after everyone else has gone home. Lately, he's noticed something odd: small things on his desk are never quite where he left them. His stapler ends up on the wrong side. His pens get lined up in a neat row instead of scattered the way he likes them.
迭戈大多数晚上都加班，等别人都回家了才把报告写完。最近，他注意到一件奇怪的事：他桌上的小东西从来都不在他放的位置上。订书机跑到了另一边。他的笔被排成整整齐齐的一排，而不是像他喜欢的那样随意散放。
At first, he assumes he's simply forgetting how he left things the night before. But this happens again, for the fifth night in a row. He starts to suspect someone else is involved.
起初，他以为只是自己忘了前一天晚上是怎么放的。可是这种事又发生了，已经是连续第五个晚上。他开始怀疑有别人参与其中。
He decides to stay a little later than usual to see who comes through the office after hours. Around nine o'clock, he hears the soft sound of a cart in the hallway. A man he's never spoken to before pushes it into the room. He's the night cleaner, and his name tag reads Felix.
他决定比平时多待一会儿，看看下班后是谁会来办公室。九点左右，他听到走廊里传来手推车轻轻的声音。一个他从没说过话的男人把车推进了房间。他是夜班保洁员，名牌上写着费利克斯。
"Sorry if I've disturbed anything," Felix says, noticing Diego is still there. "I like to straighten up a bit while I clean. It's a habit from my last job."
“要是打扰到什么了，不好意思，”费利克斯发现迭戈还在，就说，“我打扫的时候喜欢顺手收拾一下。这是我上一份工作留下的习惯。”
Diego laughs, relieved to finally understand the mystery. "No harm done. I was starting to think I was losing my mind."
迭戈笑了，终于弄明白了这个谜，如释重负。“没有妨碍。我还以为自己要疯了呢。”
They talk for a few minutes. Diego learns that Felix has been working nights for over a year. He studies during the day. He's saving money for a certification course that could help him change careers.
他们聊了几分钟。迭戈得知，费利克斯已经上了一年多的夜班。他白天学习。他正在存钱，准备上一个资格认证课程，这能帮他转行。
Diego has some spare time before his next deadline. He offers to look over Felix's study notes. He once tutored students in the same subject, so he knows the material well. Felix seems surprised but grateful, and they agree to meet for twenty minutes each week.
在下一个截止日期之前，迭戈有一些空闲时间。他提出帮费利克斯看看学习笔记。他以前给学生辅导过同一门科目，所以对内容很熟悉。费利克斯看起来有些惊讶，但很感激，他们约定每周见面二十分钟。
Now, when Diego stays late, he doesn't mind the rearranged desk at all. If anything, he looks forward to Felix's visits. The strange little mystery has turned into an unexpected friendship.
现在，迭戈加班的时候，一点也不介意桌子被重新整理。如果说有什么不同，那就是他期待着费利克斯的到来。这个奇怪的小谜团，变成了一段意想不到的友谊。
