| A | 小宝，乖，别哭了。爷爷带你去河边钓鱼，好不好？ |
| Xiǎo Bǎo, guāi, bié kū le. yéye dài nǐ qù hébiān diàoyú, hǎo bu hǎo? |
| Darling, be good, don't cry. Grandpa will take you fishing--how does that sound? |
|
|
| B | 钓鱼？好！ |
| diàoyú? hǎo! |
| Go fishing? Great! |
|
|
| A | 那我们走吧。 |
| nà wǒmen zǒu ba. |
| Then let's go. |
|
|
| B | 爷爷，我要用小鱼竿。 |
| yéye, wǒ yào yòng xiǎo yúgān. |
| Grandpa, I want to use the little fishing pole. |
|
|
| A | 好。爷爷用大的。 |
| hǎo. yéye yòng dà de. |
| OK. I'll use the big one. |
|
|
| B | 这个钩子是干什么用的？ |
| zhè ge gōuzi shì gàn shénme yòng de? |
| What's this hook for? |
|
|
| A | 这是鱼钩。我们把小鱼爱吃的东西挂在上面。 |
| zhè shì yúgōu. wǒmen bǎ xiǎoyú ài chī de dōngxi guà zài shàngmian. |
| That's a fish-hook. We'll put something the fish like to eat on the end. |
|
|
| B | 小鱼爱吃什么呀？ |
| xiǎoyú ài chī shénme ya? |
| What do little fish like to eat? |
|
|
| A | 鱼饵。有了鱼饵就能钓到鱼了。 |
| yúěr. yǒu le yúěr jiù néng diào dào yú le. |
| Bait. Once you've got bait, you can catch fish. |
|
|
| B | 哦。爷爷，是不是可以开始钓了？ |
| ò. yéye, shì bu shì kěyǐ kāishǐ diào le? |
| Oh. Grandpa, can we start fishing now? |
|
|
| A | 可以了，你把鱼钩放到水里。如果有鱼上钩，你就赶快拉上来。 |
| kěyǐ le, nǐ bǎ yúgōu fàngdào shuǐ lǐ. rúguǒ yǒu yú shànggōu, nǐ jiù gǎnkuài lā shànglái. |
| Sure. Put the fish hook into the water. If a fish gets hooked, pull it out right away. |
|
|
| B | 好，小鱼，小鱼，快过来，这里有好吃的。 |
| hǎo, xiǎoyú, xiǎoyú, kuài guòlai, zhèlǐ yǒu hǎochī de. |
| OK. Little fish, little fish, quick, come on over. There's something tasty here! |
|
|
| A | 嘘！钓鱼的时候要安静，你一说话，鱼就跑了。 |
| xū! diàoyú de shíhou yào ānjìng, nǐ yī shuōhuà, yú jiù pǎo le. |
| Shhh! When you're fishing, you need to be quiet. As soon as you talk, the fish run away. |
|
|
| B | 怎么鱼还不来？真没意思！ |
| zěnme yú hái bù lái? zhēn méiyìsi! |
| How come the fish still haven't come? Bo-ring! |
