Lina sat on the garden of her small apartment, the city lights around her like stars. She had just finished her night shift at the hospital and was too tired to go inside. Her phone buzzed with a message from her friend Mark: "Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to join the book club tomorrow?" Lina smiled, typing back, "Will do. Thanks for asking."
莉娜坐在她小公寓的屋顶花园里，周围的城市灯光像星星一样闪烁。 她刚刚结束医院的夜班，太累了不想回屋里去。 她的手机震动了一下，是朋友马克发来的消息：“嘿，我在想你明天想不想参加读书会？” 莉娜笑了笑，回复道：“好的，谢谢你邀请我。”
As she looked out at the quiet streets, she . The book club was new to her, and she wasn’t so sure if she would fit in. But then she remembered Mark’s words from last week, "You’ve got this!" She took a deep breath and whispered to herself, "Keep it up, Lina."
她望着安静的街道，犹豫了片刻。 读书会对她来说很新，她不确定自己能不能融入其中。 但她想起了马克上周鼓励她的话：“你一定行的！” 她深吸一口气，轻声对自己说：“加油，莉娜。”
Suddenly, a soft voice called from below. It was her neighbor, Mr. Chen, holding a of fresh fruit. "Help yourself," he said kindly, "I picked these from my garden."
突然，楼下传来一个温柔的声音。 是她的邻居陈先生，手里提着一篮新鲜水果。 他和蔼地说：“自己拿吧，这些是我从自家花园摘的。”
Lina felt warmth spread inside her . "Good for you, Mr. Chen," she said with a smile. "Way to go with your garden!"
莉娜感到一股暖流涌上心头。 她笑着说：“陈先生，你真棒。” “你的花园真了不起！”
He laughed , "From now on, come by anytime. I’m always here if you need anything."
他轻笑着说：“以后随时来找我，有需要我一直都在。”
"Have a good one," Lina replied as she took a apple. As she ate, she thought about how small moments like this made the city feel less lonely. That said, she felt —sooner or later, she would find her place here, down the road.
莉娜接过一个多汁的苹果，回答道：“祝你一切顺利。” 她一边吃着，一边想着像这样的点滴时刻让这座城市不再那么孤单。 话虽如此，她心中充满希望——迟早她会在这里找到属于自己的位置。
