Late At Night

Do You Turn Off Your Cell Phone

深夜，你关机了吗

源自：网络 | 主播：孟飞Phoenix

The girl would turn her cell phone off

and put it by her photo on the desk every night

before going to bed

女孩每天临睡前会先关掉手机，

然后把它放在写字台自己的相框前

This habit has been with her ever since she bought the phone.

这个习惯从她买手机起就形成了。

The girl had a very close boyfriend.

When they couldn't meet

they would either call or send messages to each other

女孩有个很要好的男朋友

两个人不见面的时候

就打打电话或发发短信

They both liked this type of communication

两人都喜欢这样的联系方式

One night， the boy really missed the girl.

When he called her, however, the girl's cell phone was off

because she was already asleep.

有一天夜里，男孩很想念女孩

打电话过去却已关机

因为女孩已经睡下了

The next day, the boy asked the girl to leave her cell phone on at night because when he needed to find her and could not he would be worried.

第二天，男孩对女孩说：

“以后晚上不要关机，好吗?

我想找你的时候找不到你，心会不安

From that day forth, the girl began a new habit.

Her cell phone never shut down at night

从那以后

女孩开始了另一种习惯一整夜都不关机。

Because she was afraid

that she might not be able to hear the phone ring in her sleep,

she tried to stay very alert.

因为害怕电话响时

自己会因睡得太沉而听不到

女孩夜夜都很警醒

As days passed, she became thinner and thinner.

Slowly, a gap began to form between them

女孩日渐消瘦。

慢慢地，两个人之间开始有了隔阂。

The girl wanted to revive their relationship.

On one night, she called the boy

女孩很想挽回即将分手的局面

便在一个深夜给男孩打电话

However, what she got was a sweet female voice:

"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off."

回答她的却是甜美的女声：

“对不起，您拨打的电话已关机。”

The girl knew that her love had just been turned off

于是女孩知道，她的爱情也已经关机

After a long time, the girl has a new love.

No matter how well they got along,

the girl however refused to get married.

不久后，女孩有了另一场爱情。

虽然两个人感情很好，但女孩怎么也不肯嫁。

In the girl's heart, she always remembered that boy's words

and the night when that phone was power off

女孩的心里还是会想起

原来那个男孩的话和那个关机的夜晚。

The girl still kept the habit of leaving her cell phone on all throughout the night, but not expecting that it would ring

女孩还是保持着整夜不关机的习惯，

只是不再期待它会响起。

One night, the girl got ill. In a moment of fluster,

instead of calling her parents,

she dialed the new boy's cell phone

一天夜里，女孩生病了，

慌乱之中把本想拨给父母的电话拨到了新男友那里。

The boy was already asleep but his cellphone was still on

男孩早已睡下，但手机还开着。

Later, the girl asked the boy:

Why don't you turn your cell phone off at night?

后来女孩问男孩: “为什么深夜还不关机?

The boy answered:

I'm afraid that if you need anything at night

and aren't able to find me, you'll worry.

男孩说: “我怕你夜里找不到我，会不安。

The girl finally married the boy.

女孩最终嫁给了这个男孩。
