　　A few years ago, I was lucky enough to have a friend working on the grounds at Wimbledon Tennis tournament, held annually in June. My friend helped a group of my friends and I to get tickets at a reduced price. We were thrilled at the prospect of going to the hallowed grounds of British Tennis during the big event itself, and we chose what might be the busiest day of the tournament. 中文：几年前，我有一个朋友在温布尔登网球锦标赛工作，每年六月举行一次锦标赛。我朋友帮我买到了降价票。我们很激动因为我们要在这个大赛期间进入到这个神圣的英国网球场地，我们选择了比赛中最热闹的一天。

　　Little did we know, the weather forecast for our chosen day was not a positive one predicting perfect Tennis weather. Far from it! At around lunchtime, when we’d just sat down to watch a match between our favourite Tennis player (Rafael Nadal) and his big rival, it began to rain. Slow and lightly at first, then faster, heavier droplets began to fall. The match had only just begun when it was suspended due to the rain. 中文：我们没料到我们选择的那天的天气预报并不是一个预测完美的天气。完全不是。午餐时间，当我们刚刚坐下来观看我们最喜欢的网球选手(纳达尔)和他的大对手比赛时，就开始下雨了。一开始雨缓慢而轻，然后更急、更大的雨滴开始下降。这场比赛才刚刚开始就因雨暂停。

　　At first, we were resolved to wait. We’d queued for hours for the match, looked forward to it for months, and had paid good money for our tickets! British weather can be fickle, so we thought the rain clouds would soon blow away. We were wrong. We had to leave the stadium and the rest of the match was postponed for another day. 中文：起初，我们决心等待。我们为了这比赛排了好几小时的队,期待了好几个月，为这个门票花了好多钱啊。英国天气变化无常，所以我们觉得雨云很快就会吹走。我们都错了，我们不得不离开体育场，其余的比赛被推迟一天。

　　Disappointed, we decided we ought to do something to cheer ourselves up. So we went to our friend’s house (who had got the day off due to the rain) and watched our favourite movie, curled up under the blankets in the warm house, and drank hot chocolate, vowing to get Wimbledon tickets the following year. 中文：失望之余，我们决定做些什么让自己高兴起来。于是我们去了一个由于下雨天在家休息的朋友家看最喜欢的电影。我们在温暖的房子中蜷缩在毯子里喝热巧克力奶，大家发誓要在第二年再买到温布尔登网球赛的门票。
