夏休みに私は京都へ旅行した。I traveled to Kyoto during summer vacation. 有名な寺院を見て回った後、最後の新幹線に乗り遅れてしまった。After visiting famous temples, I unfortunately missed the last Shinkansen.
駅のベンチに座って困っていると、隣にいたおばあさんが話しかけてきた。While I was sitting on a station bench feeling stuck, the old lady next to me started talking to me. 「若い人はいつも急いでいるね。"Young people are always in a hurry, aren't they? でも、旅の途中で道を間違えるのも楽しいものだよ」と優しく言った。But making a wrong turn during a journey can also be enjoyable," she said gently.
その言葉で心が軽くなり、予定が変わった夜の京都をゆっくり楽しむことにした。Her words lightened my heart, and I decided to enjoy the unplanned night in Kyoto at a relaxed pace.
