Tony was really excited to see his friend Kevin. They had been friends since elementary school all the way through high school. When they started college, they both headed their separate ways. Tony wanted to study electrical engineering, and Kevin wanted to become a doctor. Their career choices led them into different directions, but their friendship was still intact. 

托尼见到他的朋友凯文时非常兴奋。他们从小学到高中一直是好朋友。上大学后，他们各自走上了不同的道路。托尼想学习电气工程，凯文想成为一名医生。他们的职业选择让他们走向了不同的方向，但他们的友谊仍然完好无损。

Tony and Kevin had been very close friends. In elementary school, they started their friendship while doing a small painting assignment. When Kevin noticed Tony painting a really nice rocket, Kevin complimented him on it, and the two started talking about their interests and other things.

托尼和凯文曾经是非常亲密的朋友。在小学时，他们在做一项小小的绘画作业时开始了他们的友谊。当凯文注意到托尼画了一枚非常漂亮的火箭时，凯文称赞了他，两人开始谈论他们的兴趣和其他事情。

What really kept them together at that moment was when Tony acknowledged Kevin's reaction when Tony accidentally dropped his set of paints on the classroom floor. Tony was embarrassed and terrified, but Kevin wasn't hesitant to help him out by cleaning it up.

真正让他们在一起的是，当托尼不小心把他的颜料掉在教室地板上时，托尼意识到了凯文的反应。托尼感到尴尬和害怕，但凯文毫不犹豫地帮他清理了它。
