An Evening Alone

下班以后,小郭回到家。After work, Xiao Guo goes home.他一进门,就脱下鞋子和外套。As soon as he enters, he takes off his shoes and jacket.房间不大,但很干净。His room isn’t big, but it’s clean.
他打开灯,放下包,坐在沙发上。He turns on the light, puts down his bag, and sits on the sofa.电脑在桌上,他没开。The computer is on the desk, but he doesn’t turn it on.他只是静静地看着窗外的夜色。He just quietly looks at the night outside the window.街上的灯一点一点亮起来。The streetlights slowly light up one by one.小郭轻声说:“明天,我要更认真。”Xiao Guo softly says, “Tomorrow, I’ll be more careful.”
