中文原文

今天是休息日,我原本打算早上出门去爬山。我提前准备好了背包、水和一些小零食,闹钟定在了七点。起床后发现外面下起大雨,爬山计划只能取消。我转而在家整理房间,中途翻出几本很久没看的旧书,不知不觉看了很久,度过了安静的一天

My translation

Today is a off-work day, I was planning to climb a mountain in the morning. I had my backpack, water and some snacks ready, and the alarm clock was set at 7 am. When I got up, it was pouring outside, so I had to cancle the original climbing plan. Then I stayed at home, and came across several old books that I hadn’t been reading for a long time. So I started to read, and before I knew it, a quiet day has passed.

Revised version

When I woke up, it was pouring outside, so I had to cancel the original climbing plan. I stayed home instead and found some old books that I hadn’t read in a long time. I started reading them, and before I knew it, a quiet day had passed.
