然后,就像管弦乐队开始调音一样,学生们陆续到达,有人讨论着俱乐部或者合唱团的事宜,其他人则在餐厅碰面,一边吃早餐一边聊八卦。随着公交车到站,更多的学生走了下来,笑声响彻大厅,还有学生从停车场中过来加入其中。人群越聚越多,几乎可以说世某种特殊的文化。

早晨8:53,吉莉拽着她的背包从北门入口处冲进来,长长的头发乱蓬蓬的,也没有化妆。
“Even when I am late to school now,” she said, dashing down a corridor to make that 8:55 bell, “it’s only by three or four minutes.”
“现在即使我上学迟到了,”她沿着走廊飞奔,想要赶上8:55的预备铃,“最多也只是三四分钟的事儿。”
