Rina went to her friend's housewarming party on Saturday. Her friend's new boyfriend stood by the kitchen. Rina met him only once, months ago.
星期六，丽娜去参加朋友的乔迁派对。朋友的新男友站在厨房旁边。丽娜只在几个月前见过他一次。
She walked over with a big smile. "It's very good to see you again, Nico!" she said loudly. The man's face went blank for a second.
她笑容满面地走了过去。“很高兴再见到你，尼科！”她大声说。那个男人的脸上有一瞬间一片茫然。
"Actually, my name is Petros," he said gently. Rina's cheeks turned bright red at once. She covered her mouth with her hand.
“其实，我叫彼得罗斯。”他温和地说。丽娜的脸一下子红了。她用手捂住了嘴。
"I am very sorry," Rina said quickly. "I mixed you up with someone else." She felt terrible about her mistake.
“真对不起。”丽娜连忙说。“我把你和别人搞混了。”她为自己的失误感到难堪极了。
Petros laughed and waved a hand. "It happens all the time," he said. "Nico is my brother. We look alike."
彼得罗斯笑着摆了摆手。“这种事常有。”他说。“尼科是我哥哥。我们长得很像。”
Rina laughed too. The awkward moment passed quickly.
丽娜也笑了。尴尬的时刻很快过去了。
"Well, Petros, it's nice to meet you properly," Rina said. She held out her hand for a handshake.
“好吧，彼得罗斯，很高兴正式认识你。”丽娜说。她伸出手要握手。
Petros shook her hand warmly. "I remember names well," he said with a grin. "Let's start over. Hello, Rina."
彼得罗斯热情地握了握她的手。“我很会记名字。”他咧嘴笑着说。“我们重新开始吧。你好，丽娜。”
For the rest of the party, Rina said his name. She said it often, loud and clear. She introduced him to three other guests correctly. By the end of the night, everyone knew his name.
派对的剩余时间里，丽娜不停地叫他的名字。她叫得很勤，又大声又清楚。她还把他正确地介绍给了另外三位客人。到晚上结束时，大家都知道了他的名字。
A month later, Rina saw Petros at another party. She said his name first, loud and clear. Petros laughed and gave her a high five.
一个月后，丽娜在另一场派对上见到了彼得罗斯。她先叫出了他的名字，又大声又清楚。彼得罗斯笑了，和她击了个掌。
