The story

工作人员：各位旅客，天气不好，飞机现在起不来。请大家等一下。Attention, passengers: due to bad weather, the plane can't take off at the moment. Please wait.

大卫：起不来？为什么起不来？Can't take off? Why not?

小雨：你看外边。天阴了，云很低。Look outside. The sky's overcast and the clouds are really low.

马克：云太低，起飞很危险。机场很重视安全。With clouds this low, taking off is dangerous. Airports take safety very seriously.

大卫：早知道，我们也跟乐乐他们坐火车回去。If only we'd taken the train home with Lele's family.

小雨：他们早上就走了。包子也跟他们回去了。They left this morning. Baozi went back with them too.

大卫：奇怪，我的包怎么这么重？刚才一称，十一公斤！Weird, why is my bag so heavy? I just weighed it: eleven kilos!

小雨：比来的时候增加了这么多？你买了什么书？That much more than on the way here? What books did you buy?
