Some weeks see more than 1, 000 lonely hearts, but thunderstorms are forecast today so it's a quiet afternoon.

有的周末，会有一千多个形单影只的人来这里寻找自己的另一半。 但是今天天气预报说可能会有雷雨，所以下午十分安静。

And from work this afternoon, the empty one walking on the road, watching the leaves falling from the trees down and suddenly feel a little sad... out for so long, why I still think it is so lonely?

今天下午下班，一个人走在空荡的道路上，看着叶子从树上飘落下来，突然觉得有些伤感…出来那么久了，为什么我还是觉得是如此的孤单呢？

It was a cold, windy Friday afternoon in March. My mother was sitting by the fire, feeling very lonely and unhappy, and crying a little.

那是在三月份的一个寒冷、多风的星期五下午，我母亲正独自坐在火炉旁，因感到孤单和不幸而轻声抽泣着。

It's quiet and comfortable, and brings to mind lonely walks down cobbled streets, or a large feather bed on a rainy afternoon, or maybe a long-distance phone commercial.
