Zh: 但天公不作美,傍晚时分乌云密布,沉甸甸地压在头顶上。
En: However, the weather does not cooperate.

Zh: 不久,大雨倾盆而下,一时之间电也停了。
En: In the evening, the sky is overcast with heavy clouds looming overhead.

Zh: 但小妹和良却提议趁机来个即兴烛光聚会。
En: He is determined to restore the electricity, even venturing out into the rain to check the fuses.

Zh: "我们可以讲故事,玩游戏,雨一会儿就停了。
En: But Xiaomei and Liang suggest seizing the opportunity for an impromptu candlelight gathering.

Zh: "小妹提议道,语气轻快。
En: "We can tell stories, play games, the rain will stop soon," proposes Xiaomei, in a cheerful tone.
