　　BOSTON (AP) — When Marty Walsh won the Boston mayor's race, Vice President Joe Biden was quick to pick up the phone to congratulate him.

　　波士顿(美联社)——当马蒂•沃尔什赢得波士顿市长竞选后，副总统乔•拜登第一时间拿起电话向他表示祝贺。

　　But, there was a problem. The Marty Walsh who Biden had on the other end of the phone wasn't the Marty Walsh who had been elected to succeed longtime Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.

　　但是问题是，接到电话的马蒂•沃尔什并不是被选举为接替托马斯•梅尼诺市长的马蒂•沃尔什。

　　The Marty Walsh who Biden had connected with was actually a former aide to the late U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy.

　　拜登打电话祝贺的马蒂是已故美国参议员爱德华•肯尼迪的助手。

　　That Marty Walsh said before he could explain the mix-up, Biden launched into his congratulations, saying "Marty, you did it, you son of a gun."

　　马蒂•沃尔什说在他解释副总统把人名搞混了之前，拜登就突然说出了他的祝贺“马蒂，你做到了，你这个坏小子。”

　　Walsh, who said he has received misplaced calls for the other Marty Walsh in the past, said he quickly set Biden straight and passed along the cellphone number for the mayor-elect.

　　沃尔什说他在意识自己街道错误的电话之后，马上纠正了拜登并把获选市长的人的电话告诉了他。

　　Walsh said Biden then jokingly congratulated him for not being mayor.

　　拜登然后就开玩笑说祝贺他没有成为市长。

　　Biden's office did not immediately return a call for comment Wednesday.

　　拜登的办公室并没有马上对此时做出解释。
