| Hey, that older gentlemen playing the erhu must be quite old! |

| A: | 你看那边，他们在吹笛子。 |

| Look over there. They're playing the bamboo flute. |
| B: | 哦。长的，短的都是笛子吗？ |
| ò. cháng de, duǎn de dōu shì dízi ma? |
| Wow. The long ones and the short ones are both bamboo flutes? |
| A: | 不是。横吹的是笛子，竖吹的是箫。你再看那边，他们在打鼓！ |
| bùshì. héng chuī de shì dízi, shù chuī de shì xiāo. nǐ zài kàn nàbiān, tāmen zài dǎgǔ! |

| Wow. Hey, there's so many women over there and only one man. What are they doing? |

| tāmen zài tán pípa! yǐqián yībān shì nǚrén tán pípa, xiànzài nánrén yě liúxíng tán pípa le. |
| They're playing the pipa. In the past, it was normally only women who played the pipa. These days though, it's become popular with men as well. |
| B: | 哈哈！那我也要学。 |
