Damaris went to her coworker's wedding on Saturday. The room was full of family and old friends. She only knew the bride and groom well.
星期六，达马里斯去参加她同事的婚礼。大厅里满是亲戚和老朋友。她只和新娘新郎比较熟。
At table nine, she noticed a quiet man sitting alone. He wore a nice suit. He looked uncomfortable in the crowd.
在九号桌，她注意到一个安静的男人独自坐着。他穿着一身漂亮的西装。他在人群中显得不自在。
Damaris walked over and sat down beside him. "I don't think we know each other," she said. "I'm Damaris. I work with the groom."
达马里斯走过去，在他身旁坐下。“我们好像不认识，”她说，“我叫达马里斯。我和新郎是同事。”
"I'm Aurelio," he said. "I came with my sister. She's the bride's old roommate."
“我叫奥雷利奥，”他说，“我是和我姐姐一起来的。她是新娘以前的室友。”
"That's a good reason to be here," Damaris said. She smiled warmly. "Do you know anyone else at this wedding?"
“这是个很好的来这儿的理由，”达马里斯说。她温暖地笑了。“这场婚礼上你还认识别人吗？”
"I don't know many people here," Aurelio admitted.
“这里的人我认识的不多，”奥雷利奥承认道。
"Well, now you know me," Damaris said. "Do you want to dance? The band just started."
“那现在你认识我了，”达马里斯说，“想跳舞吗？乐队刚开始演奏。”
Aurelio smiled for the first time. "Yes, let's dance," he said.
奥雷利奥第一次笑了。“好，我们跳舞吧，”他说。
They danced through two whole songs. Aurelio was a good dancer, too.
他们一连跳了整整两首曲子。奥雷利奥也是个舞跳得很好的人。
Damaris introduced him to her table of friends. Aurelio told a funny story about his sister. The whole table laughed together.
达马里斯把他介绍给自己那一桌的朋友。奥雷利奥讲了一个关于他姐姐的有趣故事。整桌人都笑了起来。
Near the end of the night, Aurelio found Damaris again. "Thank you for talking to me first," he said. "Can I call you sometime?"
夜晚快结束时，奥雷利奥又找到了达马里斯。“谢谢你先来跟我说话，”他说，“我以后能给你打电话吗？”
Damaris smiled and pulled out her phone. "Give me your number," she said. "Let's dance again next time."
达马里斯笑着掏出手机。“把你的号码给我，”她说，“下次我们再一起跳舞。”
The next weekend, Aurelio called Damaris as promised. They met for coffee near her office. It was an easy, fun date.
下个周末，奥雷利奥如约给达马里斯打了电话。他们在她办公室附近见面喝咖啡。那是一次轻松又愉快的约会。
