It felt like another city. 但我感觉像在另一个城市那么远。

I said it the whole way there, so I wouldn't forget. 一路上我嘴里就没停过，生怕忘了。

One bottle of soy sauce. 一瓶酱油。

I passed a dog, and kept saying it. 路过一条狗，我还在念叨。

I passed my friends playing, and didn't stop. 路过小伙伴在玩，我脚步都没停。

At the counter, I said it out loud, too loudly. 到了柜台前，我大声喊了出来，声音大得有点过头。

The shopkeeper smiled and gave me the change. 店老板笑了笑，把零钱找给了我。

I carried that bottle home with both arms, like a baby. 我两只手紧紧抱着那瓶酱油，像抱个婴儿一样回了家。

My mother only said, "Good. 我妈只说了句：“挺好，
