Noor comes home from work one evening. She walks into her kitchen and stops. Something looks different today.
一天傍晚,努尔下班回到家。她走进厨房,停住了脚步。今天有些不一样。
The plates are not in their usual place. The cups sit on a different shelf. Even the spice jars stand in a new order.
盘子不在平时放的地方。杯子放在了另一层架子上。就连调料罐也换了顺序。
Noor feels confused and a little worried. She sets down her bag slowly. Did someone come into her home?
努尔觉得很困惑,也有一点担心。她慢慢放下包。有人进过她的家吗?
She checks the front door lock. She checks the back door too. Both doors are locked, just like always.
她检查了前门的锁,又检查了后门。两扇门都锁着,和平常一样。
Noor calls her roommate, Sana, right away. "Did you move things in the kitchen?" she asks. She waits nervously for the answer.
努尔马上给室友萨娜打了电话。“你动过厨房里的东西吗?”她问。她紧张地等着回答。
"Yes, I did!" Sana says happily. "I saw a video about organizing kitchens. I wanted to surprise you with it."
“对,是我!”萨娜高兴地说,“我看了一个整理厨房的视频,想用它给你一个惊喜。”
Noor lets out a small laugh of relief. She looks around the kitchen again. The new order actually makes good sense.
努尔松了一口气,轻轻笑了一声。她又环顾了一遍厨房。新的摆放方式其实很合理。
Plates sit near the table now. Cups are close to the coffee machine. Even the spices are easier to find.
现在盘子放在餐桌附近,杯子离咖啡机很近,连调料也更容易找了。
"This is actually really helpful," Noor says. She thanks Sana for the surprise. "Let's make dinner together," Sana says with a smile.
“这真的很方便,”努尔说。她谢谢萨娜给她的惊喜。“我们一起做晚饭吧,”萨娜笑着说。
