(A peddler, Mary, Diana and Yangyang)
(In a free market)
小販： Look look, see see. You say how much is how much.
走壹走看壹看哈，妳說多錢就多錢！
Mary： What did she mean?
她啥意思？
Diana：I don’t know. Let me ask her. Hey, What did you say?
我也不知道，我來問問她。（過來問小販）剛才妳說啥？
小販： Wh………What? I can’t say English good.
我。。。我英語說的不好。
Diana：How strange she is. I think she doesn’t speak English. She speaks some foreign language, but not Chinese.
這個人好奇怪啊。我想她說的不是英語，也不是漢語，可能是其他的語言。
Mary： I think so too. Let’s go away!
我也這麽覺得，走吧。
Yang： Wait a moment! I think the peddler DID speak English, but she can’t speak very well. Let me be your interpreter, OK?
等壹下！我覺得那個小販說的是英語，但是她說不好。我來給妳們做翻譯好不好？
Mary： Good! Then I can understand what she just said.
好啊！那我就明白她說的是什麽啦！
Yang： 妳剛才想對這位外國人說什麽？
小販： 我就是想讓她買我的東西啊！
Yang： She wants you to buy her things.
她想要妳們買她的東西。
Diana: Oh! What does she have?
哦，那她有些什麽貨物呢？
Yang： 她問妳，妳有什麽？
小販： 壹些中國的折傘。Chinese umbrella. Red. Beautiful!
中國傘。紅色，漂亮！
Diana: Good! I’m looking for them! Do you have some other colors?
好啊，我正要找呢。妳有多少種顏色？
Yang： Oh. Red is really wonderful. Do you know Chinese color?
哦，紅色最好看了，妳不了解中國幸運色嗎？
Mary： No.
Yang： It’s Red. Because red means good luck.
就是紅色。意味首幸運。
Diana：Why?
為啥？
Yang： What color is fire?
火是啥顏色？
Mary： Red.
紅的。
Yang： Yes. In China, people believe fire can sweep away bad luck, so, red means good luck.
是啊，中國人覺得火能掃清壞運氣，所以紅色意味幸運。
Diana: Oh, interesting. OK, I want this red one. How much is it?
好玩。我要把紅的。多少錢？
小販： 這句我明白了。Fifteen yuan.
50元。
Diana: That’s very cheap! I’ll buy it. Here is the money.
好便宜！我來壹把。給妳錢。
小販： And, your umbrella!

不客氣，我叫楊洋。白白～
Diana & Mary: See you.
再見！
(LATER)
Mary: That little student, Yangyang, really helped us a lot.
那個學生楊洋，真的幫了我們大忙。
Diana: Yes! And I think Chinese people really changed a lot. They can speak English! Wow! That’s amazing!
是啊。我覺得中國人有很大改變。他們會說英語拉。真不錯！
Mary: Someday we should learn Chinese,too.
以後我們也應該學學漢語。

我也這麽覺得。
不知道這個長度夠不？ 不夠告訴我，我再改長些。
