| A: | 小刚，发什么呆呢？ |
| Xiǎogāng, fā shénme dāi ne? |
| Xiao Gang, what are you spacing out about? |
| B: | 女朋友快过生日了，我在想送她什么比较好。 |
| nǚpéngyou kuài guò shēngrì le, wǒ zài xiǎng sòng tā shénme bǐjiào hǎo. |
| It's almost my girlfriend's birthday. I'm thinking about what would be a good gift to get her. |
| A: | 项链、耳环、香水、化妆品都行啊。 |
| xiàngliàn、 ěrhuán、 xiāngshuǐ、 huàzhuāngpǐn dōu xíng a. |
| A necklace, earrings, perfume, make up; those are all OK. |
| B: | 每次都是这些，多俗啊！ |
| měicì dōu shì zhèxiē, duō sú a! |
| I get her those things every time. They're co cliché! |
| A: | 哎，她喜欢看时尚杂志吗？ |
| āi, tā xǐhuan kàn shíshàng zázhì ma? |
| Hey, does she like reading fashion magazines? |
| B: | 喜欢。老在街上买那个什么…… |
| xǐhuan. lǎo zài jiēshang mǎi nàge shénme…… |
| Yeah. She's always buying those when she's out and about... |
| A: | 那你可以订一年的送给她啊！ |
| nà nǐ kěyǐ dìng yī nián de sònggěi tā a! |
| Then you can order her a year's subscription as a gift! |
| B: | 不错，好主意！ |
| bùcuò, hǎo zhǔyi! |
| Not bad! That's a good idea! |
| A: | 订月刊的话，一个月一期，一期大概20块，一年两百多。 |
| dìng yuèkān dehuà, yī ge yuè yī qī, yī qī dàgài èrshí kuài, yī nián liǎng bǎi duō. |
| If you order it monthly, you'll get one issue per month. One issue is about 20 kuai, so one year is about 200. |
| B: | 就算是半月刊，一年也不到五百块。 |
| jiùsuàn shì bànyuèkān, yī nián yě bù dào wǔbǎi kuài. |
| Even if it's bi-monthly, one year wouldn't be more than 500 kuai. |
| A: | 就是，又划算又有创意。 |
| jiùshì, yòu huásuàn yòu yǒu chuàngyì. |
| That's right. Not only is it worth the price, it's creative too. |
| B: | 好，我明天就去邮局订。谢啦，美女。 |
| hǎo, wǒ míngtiān jiù qù yóujú dìng. xiè la, měinǚ. |
| OK, tomorrow I'll go to the post office and order it. Thanks, sweetheart. |
