When she had gotten her coat the phone had rung, so she had stopped to answer it and talked for a couple of minutes.
她拿到外套时，她的电话响了，所以她停下来接了几分钟电话。
While the woman was on the phone, Daisy was rehearsing for performance at the Paris Opera House.
当女人接电话时，Daisy正在巴黎大剧院彩排；
And while she was rehearsing, the woman, off the phone now, had gone outside to get a taxi.

当她在彩排时，那位女士挂了电话出去准备叫一辆出租车。
Now a taxi driver had dropped off a fare earlier, and had stopped to get a cup of coffee.
And all the while Daisy was rehearsing.
drop off:[口语](让…)下车 fare: 车费
有位出租车司机刚刚放下一位乘客，然后停车去买咖啡。而与此同时，Daisy一直在彩排。

pick up: (车、船等)中途搭人(或货) cab: 出租汽车
而这位刚刚放下一位乘客又停车买了咖啡的司机载了那位要去购物却错过了前一辆出租车的女士。

because he forgot to set his alarm. While the man, late for work, was crossing the street, Daisy had finished rehearsing and was taking a shower.
alarm: 闹铃 shower: 阵雨，淋浴
因为他忘了调闹铃。当这位上班迟到的男士在过马路时，Daisy刚刚结束了彩排正在洗澡。

但东西还没有打包好，因为打包的女孩前天晚上和男友分手后忘记打包了。

打包好后，女士回到车上，却被一辆运货车堵住了路。

如果出租车司机没有停车去买咖啡；如果那位女士没有忘拿外套并上了前一辆出租车，Daisy and her friend would have crossed the street.

And the taxi would have driven by. But life being what it is, a series of intersecting lives and incidents, out of anyone's control,
intersect: 贯穿，交叉 incident: 事件，插曲 out of control: 失控
