A:
哟，刘佳，没时间了。你赶快换衣服吧！
yō, Liú Jiā, méi shı́jiān le. nı̌ gǎnkuài huàn yı̄fu ba!
Hey, Liu Jia, there’s no time. Hurry up and change clothes!
B:
Monica, 我原来以为不用穿泳装......
wǒ yuánlái yı̌wéi bùyòng chuān yǒngzhuāng......
Monica, I thought we didn’t need to wear swimsuits...
C:
这是选美比赛，当然要穿咯！
zhè shı̀ xuǎnměi bı̌sài, dāngrán yào chuān lo!
It’s a beauty pageant. Of course we have to wear them!
A:
哎，你们看那个女的，肯定去隆胸了。
āi, nı̌men kàn nàge nü
ǔ de, kěndı̀ng qù lóngxiōng le.
Ah, look at that girl. She definitely had a boob job.
C:
对呀！报名的时候，她的胸部完全是平的。
duı̀ yā! bàomı́ng de shı́hou, tā de xiōngbù wánquán shı̀ pı́ng
de.
Yeah! When we signed up, her chest was totally flat.
B:
啊？比赛允许整容吗？

Huh? The pageant allows cosmetic surgery?
A:
他们才不管呢！
tāmen cái bù guǎn ne!
They don’t pay any attention to that!
C:
是啊。只要是美女就行。
shı̀ a. zhı̌yào shı̀ měinü
ǔ jiù xı́ng.
Yeah, as long as the girls are beautiful, it’s fine.
A:
这里的女孩子，大部分都是人造的。
zhèlı̌ de nü
ǔháizi, dàbùfen dōu shı̀ rénzào de.
Of the girls here, most are artificial.
B:
不会吧？我看挺自然的。
bùhuı̀ ba? wǒ kàn tı̌ng zı̀ran de.
What? They look natural to me.
C:
刘佳，你真老土。现在的整容技术很发达，根本
看不出来。
Liú Jiā, nı̌ zhēn lǎotǔ. xiànzài de zhěngróng jı̀shù hěn fādá,
gēnběn kàn bu chūlai.
Liu Jia, you’re really not with it. Nowadays the surgery is
really advanced. You can’t tell by looking.

A:
对啊。而且隆鼻、隆胸、割双眼皮都是小手术。
参加选美的人都知道。
duı̀ a. érqiě lóngbı́, lóngxiōng, gē shuāngyǎnpı́ dōu shı̀ xiǎoshǒushù. cānjiā xuǎnměi de rén dōu zhı̄dào.
Right. Besides, nose jobs, boob jobs, and eye jobs are
all minor surgery. They’re the most basic requisites for a
beauty pageant.
B:
那是不是不整容就没希望了？
nà shı̀ bu shı̀ bù zhěngróng jiù méi xı̄wàng le?
You mean if you don’t have surgery you have no hope?
A:
可以这么说吧。
kěyı̌ zhème shuō ba.
You could say that.
C:
是啊，人人都这么完美。不整容，怎么比得过她
们？
shı̀ a, rénrén dōu zhème wánměi. bù zhěngróng, zěnme
bı̌deguò tāmen?
Yeah, everyone is so perfect. If you don’t have surgery, how
can you out-compete them?
B:
看来这个比赛真的不适合我。
kànlai zhège bı̌sài zhēnde bù shı̀hé wǒ.
Looks like this pageant is really not for me.
