(单词翻译)

 Best  to  leave  quietly,  and  no 

reunions. Move on, look to the future. Plenty more faces out there.
But  as  he  made  his  decision,  her  mouth  stretched  open  into  a  wide  smile  and  without 
opening her eyes she said:
So, what do you reckon, Dex?‘
About what, Em?‘
Me and you. Is it love, d‘you think?‘ and she gave a low laugh, her lips tightly closed.
Just go to sleep, will you?‘
Stop staring up my nose then.‘ She opened her eyes, blue and green, bright  and shrewd. 
What‘s tomorrow?‘ she mumbled1.
Today you mean?‘
Today. This bright new day that awaits us.‘
It‘s a Saturday. Saturday all day. St Swithin‘s Day as a matter of fact.‘
What‘s that then?‘
Tradition. If it rains today it‘ll rain for the next  forty days, or all summer, or something 
like that."
音频:
She frowned. "That doesn‘t make any sense."
Not meant to. It‘s a superstition2.‘
Raining where? It‘s always raining somewhere.‘
On St Swithin‘s grave. He‘s buried outside Winchester Cathedral.‘
How come you know all this?‘
I went to school there.‘
Well la-di-da,‘ she mumbled into the pillow.
―If on St Swithin it doth rain/Something dum-di-dum again.‖‘
That‘s a beautiful poem.‘
Well, I‘m paraphrasing3.‘
She laughed once again, then raised her head sleepily. "But Dex?"
Em?‘
If it doesn‘t rain today?‘
Uh-huh.‘
What are you doing later?‘ 
Tell her that you’re busy.
Nothing much,‘ he said.
So shall we do something then? Me and you, I mean?‘
Wait ’til she’s asleep then sneak4 away.
Yeah. Alright,‘ he said. "Let‘s do something."
She  allowed  her  head  to  drop  onto  the  pillow  once  more.  "Brand  new  day,‘  she 
murmured.
Brand new day.‘
