  • Even free pizza couldn't attract any pint-size partygoers for a 6-year-old's birthday.

    即使是免费的披萨,也无法吸引任何人去参加一个6岁孩子的小型生日宴会。

    An Arizona mom says none of her son's kindergarten friends showed up to his birthday party -- after she sent 32 invitations to his classmates.

    一位来自亚利桑那州的母亲称,她邀请儿子幼儿园的32位同学参加儿子的生日聚会,结果居然没一个人来参加。

    The boy, Teddy, held a birthday bash at Peter Piper Pizza in Tucson, where he and his mother, Sil Mazzini, had been expecting dozens of little girls and boys -- as well as the children's parents -- to join them at the restaurant.

    这个名叫泰迪的男孩近日在图森市的彼得派珀披萨店举办了一场生日派对。他和他的母亲西尔·马兹尼一直期待着那几十个小男孩和小女孩,以及孩子们的父母和他们一起在餐厅聚餐。

    Mazzini said a few people told her in advance that they couldn't make it, but she wasn't prepared for everyone to be no-shows.

    马兹尼称,有几个人提前告诉她他们没空参加,但她没想到居然没一个人来。

    "I'm done with parties for a while," Mazzini told KNXV.

    马兹尼向KNXV电视台透露:“我很长一段时间内都不会再办派对了。”

    Mazzini shared a photo of her son sitting alone in front of several pizzas with a reporter at KVOA who then shared the image on his Facebook page.

    马兹尼和KVOA电视台的一名记者分享了一张她儿子独自坐在几个披萨前的照片,该记者随后把照片公布在了他的Facebook上。

    That prompted dozens and dozens of birthday wishes from around the country, as well as other gifts and offers -- including a free ride in a "mouse limo" owned by a local exterminator1.

    于是他们收到了来自全国各地的几十个生日祝福,以及其他礼物和优惠,包括免费乘坐一辆当地灭虫员开的“老鼠车”。

    "I live near Tampa, Florida, and heard about you via my local news," one woman wrote on Facebook. "I hope you have a wonderful year and I'm sending you a big hug."

    一名女子在Facebook上写道:“我住在佛罗里达州坦帕市附近,通过当地的新闻了解到你的情况。我希望你度过美好的一年,给你一个大大的拥抱。”

    Another woman, meanwhile, warned Teddy to expect more of the same as he gets older.

    与此同时,另一名女子提醒泰迪,随着年龄的增长,他还会遇到更多这样的事情。

    "People are flaky and inconsiderate sometimes," she wrote. "It happens, that doesn't mean you aren't great, just that people are silly. Best wishes kiddo!"

    她写道:“人们有时很脆弱,不体谅别人。这并不意味着你不伟大,只是人们愚蠢而已。祝福你,孩子!”

    But the biggest unexpected birthday present for Teddy came from the Phoenix2 Suns, who invited him to watch Wednesday night's game at the Talking Stick Resort Arena3 against the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James.

    但最让泰迪想不到的生日礼物来自菲尼克斯太阳队,他们邀请泰迪观看周三晚上球队在托金斯迪克度假酒店球馆与洛杉矶湖人队以及勒布朗·詹姆斯的比赛。

    "How about we celebrate with thousands at our place!" the team tweeted. "Tickets to Wednesday's #SunsVSLakers game are all yours Teddy! Talk soon!"

    太阳队在推特上写道:“我们在赛场上和成千上万的人一起庆祝生日怎么样!周三太阳队VS湖人队的比赛门票都是你的,泰迪! 等会联系你!”A replica4 of the RMS Titanic5 is preparing to set sail.

    复造版“泰坦尼克号”正在准备扬帆起航。

    The Titanic II is making its maiden6 voyage in 2022 after its production was halted due to financial constraints7.

    曾因资金紧张而停工的“泰坦尼克2号”,将于2022年进行处女航。

    The Titanic II will sail from Dubai and then trace the original route from Southampton, England to New York.

    “泰坦尼克2号”将从迪拜出发,然后沿着“泰坦尼克号”当年的路线,从英国的南安普敦航行至纽约。

    敢坐吗? 泰坦尼克2号将于2022年下水启航

    The luxury ship will look just like the original but will be outfitted8 with the most current technology and safety equipment. It'll cost about $500 million.

    这艘豪华巨轮外观和原版非常相似,但配备了最高端的科技和安全设备。造价高达5亿美元。

    The new ship will also carry 2,400 passengers and 900 crew, nearly the same as the original.

    几乎和原版一样,这艘新邮轮也将搭载2400名乘客和900名船员。

    The original Titanic sank in 1912 after crashing into an iceberg9 in the North Atlantic Ocean.

    1912年,泰坦尼克号在北大西洋撞上冰山后沉没。
