jīn今tiān天zǎo早shàng上wǒ我qǐ起chuáng床de的shí时hou候，zhǎo找bú不dào到wǒ我de的shǒu手jī机。
When I got up this morning I couldn't find my phone.
wǒ我zài在fáng房jiān间lǐ里zhǎo找le了hěn很cháng长shí时jiān间。
I searched the room for a long time.
zhuō桌zi子shàng上méi没yǒu有，yǐ椅zi子shàng上yě也méi没yǒu有。
It wasn't on the table, and it wasn't on the chair either.
wǒ我wèn问qī妻zǐ子：nǐ你kàn看jiàn见wǒ我de的shǒu手jī机le了ma吗？
I asked my wife: have you seen my phone?
tā她shuō说méi没yǒu有，dàn但shì是tā她yě也lái来bāng帮zhù助wǒ我zhǎo找。
She said no, but she came to help me look anyway.
wǒ我men们liǎng两gè个rén人zhǎo找le了èr二shí十fēn分zhōng钟。
The two of us searched for twenty minutes.
wǒ我de的gōng公sī司bā八diǎn点shàng上bān班，xiàn现zài在yǐ已jīng经qī七diǎn点wǔ五shí十le了。
My office starts at eight, and it was already ten to eight.
wǒ我de的nǚ女ér儿zài在páng旁biān边xiào笑。
My daughter was standing next to us, laughing.
tā她shuō说：bà爸ba爸，nǐ你kàn看yī一xià下nǐ你de的yī衣fu服。
She said: Dad, take a look at your clothes.
wǒ我kàn看le了yī一xià下，shǒu手jī机jiù就zài在wǒ我de的yī衣fu服lǐ里！
I looked — and my phone was right there in my clothes!
wèi为shén什me么shǒu手jī机zài在yī衣fu服lǐ里ne呢？
Why was the phone in my clothes?
yīn因wèi为zuó昨tiān天wǎn晚shàng上wǒ我chuān穿nà那jiàn件yī衣fu服qù去pǎo跑bù步。
Because last night I wore those clothes when I went running.
wǒ我pǎo跑bù步huí回lái来de的shí时hou候，méi没yǒu有kàn看yī衣fu服，jiù就shuì睡jiào觉le了。
When I got back from running I didn't check the clothes, I just went to bed.
wǒ我hé和qī妻zǐ子dōu都xiào笑le了。
My wife and I both laughed.
nǚ女ér儿shuō说：bà爸ba爸de的yǎn眼jīng睛bù不hǎo好。
My daughter said: Dad's eyes aren't very good.
wǒ我shuō说：duì对，xià下cì次wǒ我yào要kàn看yī一xià下yī衣fu服。
I said: true — next time I'll check my clothes first.
jīn今tiān天wǒ我dào到gōng公sī司de的shí时hou候，dà大jiā家yǐ已jīng经kāi开shǐ始gōng工zuò作le了。
When I got to the office today everyone had already started working.
dàn但shì是wǒ我zhǎo找dào到le了wǒ我de的shǒu手jī机，suǒ所yǐ以huán还shì是hěn很gāo高xìng兴。
But I'd found my phone, so I was happy all the same.
zhè这jiàn件shì事qíng情fēi非cháng常yǒu有yì意si思。
It was a pretty funny business.
