中文原文
本来打算今晚在家好好看一部存了很久的电影。我提前准备好零食和饮料，关掉房间大灯，打开电脑。电影才放了二十分钟，突然家里停电了。屏幕一下子变黑，房间里一片暗。我摸出手机打开手电筒，检查电闸，试了好几次都没用，只好放弃看电影。
My translation
I’d planned to watch a movie that I’ve saved for long time tonight at home. I’ve prepared snacks and drinks. I turned off the light, opened my computer. Unfortunately, when the movie went along for only 20 minutes, the electricity was cut off, and the screen went black. The room was full of darkness, so I opened the lighter on my phone, then checked electricity gate. I’ve tried for several times, but it didn’t work, so I had to give up.
Revised version
I’d planned to watch a movie that I’d saved for a long time at home tonight. I got some snacks and drinks ready. I turned off the lights and opened my laptop. Unfortunately, the movie had only been playing for twenty minutes when the power went out. The screen went dark. The room was completely black, so I turned on my phone’s flashlight and checked the circuit breaker. I tried resetting it several times, but nothing work. I had to give up.
