中文原文
今天是工作日，早上出门时天气晴朗。我像往常一样坐地铁去公司。地铁到站后，我快步走向办公楼，走到半路才发现自己把装有重要文件的 U 盘落在家里了。我很纠结：回家拿 U 盘会迟到，但下午开会必须用到它。最后我决定打车回家取。等我赶回公司，会议刚好快要开始。
My translation
Today is a workday. It was sunny when I left home. I took subway to the company as usual. When subway was arrived, I stepped fast to the office. On the halfway of it, I realized I left my U disk that contained important documents at home. I was struggling: if I went back home to take it, I would be late for work, but on the other hand, I had to use it at the afternoon’s meeting. Finally, I decided to call a taxi to go home and take it back. When I was back to the company, the meeting was just about to start.

Halfway there, I realized I had left my USB drive with important documents at home. I was torn: if I went back to get it, I would be late for work. On the other hand, I needed it for the afternoon meeting. In the end, I decided to take a taxi home to pick it up. When I got back to the company, the meeting was just about to start.
