《The Wrong Song at the Wedding》封面

Niamh went to her cousin Yolanda's wedding with her whole family. The reception was in a big tent behind the farmhouse.

尼夫和全家人一起去参加表姐约兰达的婚礼。婚宴设在农舍后面的一顶大帐篷里。

Niamh helped set up the sound system before the party started. She knew a lot about music apps from her own school events.

聚会开始前,尼夫帮忙架设音响设备。她在学校的活动上用过很多音乐软件,懂得不少。

At dinner, the DJ announced the first dance. He pressed play on his laptop, but the wrong song started.

晚宴时,DJ宣布第一支舞开始。他在笔记本电脑上按下播放,可是响起的却是另一首歌。

It was fast dance music. It was not the song Yolanda and Amadi chose. Guests looked at each other, confused.

那是一首节奏很快的舞曲,不是约兰达和阿马迪选的那首。宾客们面面相觑,一头雾水。

"That's not it," the DJ said quietly, searching through his playlist. "I don't understand. It was right here."

“不对,不是这首。”DJ小声说着,在播放列表里翻找。“我不明白,明明就在这儿的。”

Yolanda and her new husband, Amadi, stood frozen on the dance floor. Everyone waited with their phones ready for photos.

约兰达和她的新婚丈夫阿马迪僵在舞池里。所有人都举着手机,准备拍照,等着开场。

Niamh walked up to the DJ table. "Can I take a look?" she asked.

尼夫走到DJ台前。“我能看一下吗?”她问。

The DJ nodded and stepped aside. Niamh scanned the playlist. She found two songs with almost the same name.

DJ点点头,让到一边。尼夫浏览着播放列表,发现有两首歌的名字几乎一模一样。

"Here's the problem," she said. "This one is labeled wrong. The real song is right below it."

“问题在这儿,”她说,“这一首标错了。真正的那首就在它下面。”

She also found the couple's song on her own phone. The DJ pressed play on the correct track this time.

她还在自己的手机里找到了新人的那首歌。这一次,DJ按下了正确的曲目。

The right song started, soft and slow. Yolanda and Amadi began to dance together. The crowd cheered, and nobody seemed to remember the mix-up at all.

对的歌曲响起来了,轻柔而缓慢。约兰达和阿马迪开始一起跳舞。人群欢呼起来,好像谁也不记得刚才的混乱了。

"Thank you so much," the DJ whispered to Niamh. "You saved this whole moment."

“太感谢你了,”DJ对尼夫低声说,“你拯救了整个时刻。”

Niamh smiled and stepped back into the crowd. She watched her cousin dance under the string lights. Her phone was still warm in her hand.

尼夫笑了笑,退回人群中。她看着表姐在彩灯串下起舞。她的手机在手里还是热热的。
