Sometimes we can't distinguish one person from another because their names sound similar or they look alike.
有时候把两个人搞混没什么好奇怪的，有可能因为他们的名字听着相近，或者他们长得很像。

If they're both painters, it may be because their styles or subjects are similar.
如果他们都是画家，那么也有可能因为他们的风格太相似，或者喜欢画相同的主题。

那么《三十而已》里的王太太是如何把哪哪儿都不像的这两位搞混的呢？因为他们的作品现在在市场上都很贵？
