翻译实践原文

Chapter Eleven

We had practised for less than ten minutes when she got a stomach cramp. She held her stomach and gestured to stop the game.

‘I'm not fully okay after the viral attack,’ she said.

She walked off the court and sank to the ground. She buried her face in her hands.

‘I need to rest. And I’m a little cold in these（days）.’ She pointed to her extra-small red shorts.They barely covered her upper thighs.

‘You should have told me. We need not have played today,’ I said. ‘I’ll be fine,’ she said. She removed her hands from her face and smiled at me.

It had been a week since my panel recommended taking Riya to my room.‘Make Bihar proud, else you don’t matter’ is what they had repeated to me all week. Today, I had the chance.

“Hey, you want to rest in my room?” I said.

I played it cool.‘Yeah.You rest. Take a nap. I can study, or will even leave the room if you want me to.’

‘You don’t have to leave your own room.’ She stood up.

She had said I didn’t have to leave. It meant she had agreed to come to Rudra. Girls never tell you anything straight out anyway. You have to interpolate and extrapolate their responses to figure out what’s on their mind.
