آنا والتطبيق
Ana and the app
لوسيا تسكن في مدينة مكسيكو. عمرها 34 سنة. هي محاسبة في مكتب كبير.
Lucía lives in Mexico City. She is thirty-four. She is an accountant in a big office.
طوال اليوم هي تعمل مع الأرقام. أرقام على الورق، وأرقام على حاسوبها. هي ماهرة في الأرقام.
All day, she works with numbers. Numbers on paper, numbers on her computer. She is good with numbers.
في الساعة 6 هي تركب المترو إلى البيت. شقتها صغيرة وهادئة.
At six o’clock, she takes the metro home. Her apartment is small and quiet.
هي تأكل العشاء وحدها. وتشاهد التلفاز وحدها. وتنام في الساعة 10.
She eats dinner alone. She watches TV alone. She goes to bed at ten.
في مساء الجمعة صديقتها آنا تأتي. عند آنا زجاجة نبيذ وابتسامة كبيرة.
On Friday evening, her friend Ana comes. Ana has a bottle of wine and a big smile.
تسأل آنا: «كيف أسبوعك؟»
“How is your week?” asks Ana.
«جيد. أرقام كثيرة.»
“Good. Lots of numbers.”
«وكيف مساءاتك؟»
“And your evenings?”
«مساءاتي هادئة. عندي تلفازي وشايي.»
“My evenings are quiet. I have my TV and my tea.”
آنا تنظر إليها. «يا لوسيا، عمرك 34 سنة. أنت لست في الثمانين. أعطيني هاتفك.»
Ana looks at her. “Lucía, you are thirty-four. You are not eighty. Give me your phone.”
«هاتفي؟ لماذا؟»
“My phone? Why?”
«لأنك تحتاجين إلى تطبيق للمواعدة.»
“Because you need a dating app.”
«تطبيق للمواعدة؟ لا، لا، لا. أنا محاسبة. المحاسبة لا تستخدم تطبيقات المواعدة.»
“A dating app? No, no, no. I am an accountant. An accountant doesn’t do dating apps.”
