Intermediate - My New MP3 Player (C0524)

你买新的MP3了?挺好看的嘛!
nǐ mǎi xīn de MPsān le ?tǐng hǎokàn de ma !
Did you buy a new MP3 player? It's pretty nice looking!

昨天刚买的。好像还蛮好用的。
zuótiān gāng mǎi de 。hǎoxiàng hái mán hǎoyòng de 。
I just bought it yesterday. It seems like it's pretty easy to use.

真的?容量多大啊?
zhēnde ?róngliàng duō dà a ?
Really? What's the capacity?

3G。听说可以存好几百首歌。也可以当移动硬盘用。
sān G 。tīngshuō kěyǐ cún hǎo jǐ bǎi shǒu gē 。yě kěyǐ dāng yídòng yìngpán yòng 。
3 gigs. I was told that it can hold several hundred songs. It can also be used as a portable hard drive.

可以听播客吗?
kěyǐ tīng bōkè ma ?
Can you listen to podcasts?

当然咯。我已经下载了好几个了。对了,还可以听广播呢。
dāngrán lo 。wǒ yǐjīng xiàzǎi le hǎojǐ ge le 。duì le ,hái kěyǐ tīng guǎngbō ne 。
Of course. I've already downloaded quite a few. Oh right, you can also listen to the radio.

不错嘛。哪里出的呀?
bùcuò ma 。nǎli chū de ya ?
Not bad. Where is it made?

国产的。之前我看了好几个牌子,最后还是觉得这个最好。
guóchǎn de 。zhīqián wǒ kàn le hǎojǐ ge páizi ,zuìhòu háishi juéde zhège zuì hǎo 。
It's domestic. Before, I looked at quite a few brands. In the end, I felt that this one was the best.

不过,我一直觉得MP3质量不高。以前我也有一个,结果才用了几个月就坏了。
bùguò ,wǒ yīzhí juéde MPsān zhìliàng bù gāo 。yǐqián wǒ yě yǒu yī ge ,jiéguǒ cái yòng le jǐ ge yuè jiù huài le 。
But, I have always felt that the quality of MP3 players is not that good. Before, I had one too--I only used it for a few months and it broke.

大概是你买的牌子不好吧。大一点的牌子应该不会这样。
dàgài shì nǐ mǎi de páizi bù hǎo ba 。dà yīdiǎn de páizi yīnggāi bùhuì zhèyàng 。
It was probably because it was a bad brand. A more famous brand shouldn't be like that.

反正,我不会再买。
fǎnzhèng ,wǒ bù huì zài mǎi 。
Anyway, I won't buy one again.
