Bo goes to his friend's birthday party on Friday. The house is loud and full of people. He knows almost everyone in the room.
周五，博去参加朋友的生日派对。房子里吵吵闹闹，挤满了人。屋里的人他几乎都认识。
Near the snack table, he notices a girl standing alone. She holds a cup and looks at her phone. Nobody talks to her.
在小吃桌旁，他注意到一个女孩独自站着。她手里拿着杯子，低头看手机。没有人和她说话。
Bo walks over with a friendly smile. "Hi, I'm Bo," he says. "Do you like the party?"
博带着友好的笑容走过去。“嗨，我是博，”他说，“你喜欢这个派对吗？”
The girl looks up, a little surprised. "Not really," she admits. "I'm Nella. I don't know anyone here."
女孩抬起头，有些意外。“不太喜欢，”她承认道，“我叫内拉。这里我一个人都不认识。”
"I know almost everyone," Bo says. "Let me introduce you around." Nella smiles for the first time.
“这里的人我几乎都认识，”博说，“我来带你认识一下大家。”内拉第一次露出了笑容。
He brings her to his group of friends. They sit together by the couch. They make room for her right away. Someone hands her a slice of pizza.
他把她带到自己的朋友们那里。他们一起坐在沙发旁。大家立刻给她腾出了位置。有人递给她一块披萨。
Nella asks questions about the birthday girl. Bo tells her a funny story from last year. The whole group laughs together.
内拉问起过生日的女孩的事。博讲了一个去年发生的有趣故事。大家一起笑了起来。
An hour later, Nella talks and laughs with everyone. She tells a joke of her own. The group laughs a lot.
一个小时后，内拉已经能和每个人说说笑笑了。她也讲了一个自己的笑话。大家笑得很开心。
Near the end of the night, Bo finds Nella. She stands by the door. "Thanks for talking to me first," she says. "I had a good time tonight."
夜快结束时，博找到了内拉。她站在门边。“谢谢你先来和我说话，”她说，“我今晚玩得很开心。”
"Same time next week?" Bo asks. Nella laughs and nods. "I bring the pizza next time," she says.
“下周同一时间再见？”博问。内拉笑着点了点头。“下次我带披萨，”她说。
The next weekend, Bo texts Nella first. They meet at a different friend's party. This time, Nella already knows half the room.
下个周末，博先给内拉发了信息。他们在另一位朋友的派对上见面。这一次，内拉已经认识屋里一半的人了。
