I practice paddling boat every Sunday afternoon, so every week (I) can see him (for) one time.

Who knows (that) today(’s) morning, I saw Little Zhou in the school! (At) that time, he was riding (a) bicycle, at a place very far away from me, so I (did) not call to him. I (was) especially happy, (and I) was thinking. “Would he be our school’s student or not? ” I planned to ask him really quick when paddling boat (on the) weekend.
(In the) afternoon, I was sitting in (a) coffee shop drinking tea (and) reading (a) book, (I) saw there was a very tall boy outside, (and he) was wearing one “jian” (of) very nice-looking clothing. Isn’t that Little Zhou? He also saw me, (and) entered (the) coffee shop smiling, (and) said to me, “I (have) seen you before, we paddle boat together (on the) weekend, you paddle very well every time! Are you also this school’s (student)?”
Together sitting(,) we drank coffee drank (for) 30 minutes. He said to me very many things about him, who knew (that) he already (has) been in a relationship with (his) girlfriend (for) 8 years (now), next year (they) already plan to get married! After hearing these (stuff that) he said, I closed (my) book, (and) said to him, “(It is) already 6 o’clock, my friend is waiting (for) me in the sports field, (it is time for) me (to) go (now).” After him hearing (that), (he) said(,) smiling, “OK, We (will) meet when paddle boat (on the) weekend!”
After coming out from the coffee shop, I (, ) one person (alone,) walked on the school’s street (surface), thinking, “why all boys looking handsome already have girlfriends?”

（一个长得帅的男孩）
上个月我开始学划船，和我一起学划船的学生里，有一个男孩叫周士文，老师叫他小周，他长得真帅！我每个星期天下午练习划船，所以每个星期可以看见他一次。练习了回家以后，我有时候会想给他打电话、发邮件，但是我没有，因为我觉得我们还不是朋友。
谁知道今天上午，我在学校里看见小周了。那个时候，她正在骑着自行车，在离我很远的地方，所以我没有叫他。我特别高兴，在想“他会不会是我们学校的学生呢？”我打算周末划船的时候问问他。
下午，我在咖啡馆坐着喝茶，看书，看见外边有一个很高的男孩，穿着一件很好看的衣服。那不是小周吗？他也看见我了，笑着进了咖啡馆，对我说：“我见过你，我们周末一起划船，你每次划得很好！你也是这个学校的吗？”
我们在一起坐着喝咖啡喝了三十分钟。他对我说了很多他的事情，谁知道他已经和女朋友谈恋爱谈了八年了，明年都打算结婚了！听了她说这些以后，我关了书，对他说：“都六点了。”他听了以后笑着说：“好的，我们周末划船的时候见。”
从咖啡馆出来以后，我一个人在学校的路上，想着：“为什么长得帅的男孩都已经有女朋友了。”
