学英文重要吗？

你说。
Nǐ shuō.
Say it.

你觉得学英文重要吗？
Nǐ juéde xué Yīngwén zhòngyào ma?
Do you think it‘s important to learn English?

对啊，我觉得非常重要。
Duì a, wǒ juéde fēicháng zhòngyào.
Yes, I think it’s very important.

为什么？
Wèishénme?
Why?

因为我之前第一份工作是在一家港货店,
Yīnwèi wǒ zhīqián dìyī fèn gōngzuò shì zài yì jiā gǎng huò diàn
Because my first job was in a store which sold Hongkong goods.

然后就是因为英文这些不太好，
ránhòu jiùshì yīnwèi Yīngwén zhèxiē bú tài hǎo,
Then because my English was not good, .

导致我出了一些乌龙事件。
dǎozhì wǒ chū le yìxiē wūlóng shìjiàn.
that led to a couple of my own mistakes.

么搞笑的事？
Shénme gǎoxiào de shì?
What was the funny thing?

我刚开始去的时候，
Wǒ gāng kāishǐ qù de shíhou,
When I started to work there,

因为的确对英文一窍不通。
yīnwèi díquè duì Yīngwén yíqiào bùtōng.
because I really didn’t know anything about English,

然后呢它们那些是没有中文的，
ánhòu ne tāmen nàxiē shì méiyǒu Zhōngwén de,
and those goods didn’t have Chinese on the packaging.

所以说导致我在摆货架的问题上，
suǒyǐ shuō dǎozhì wǒ zài bǎi huòjià de wèntí shàng,
so I didn’t know how to put them on the right shelves.

就是出现一些事情。
jiùshì chūxiàn yìxiē shìqíng.
and something happened.

然后我去问我的老板。
Ránhòu wǒ qù wèn wǒ de lǎobǎn.
Then I went to ask my boss.

我的老板告诉我说，
Wǒ de lǎobǎn gàosu wǒ shuō,
My boss told me,

你觉得它像什么就摆什么就好了。
nǐ juéde tā xiàng shénme jiù bǎi shénme jiù hǎo le.
just put them on the shelves wherever you think they look like they should go.

然后呢，我就按照他的一个思路去摆了一些东西。
Ránhòu ne, wǒ jiù ànzhào tā de yí gè sīlù qù bǎi le yìxiē dōngxi.
Then according to his idea, I put those things on the shelves.

但是因为英文真的很差，看不懂，
Dànshì yīnwèi Yīngwén zhēn de hěn chà, kàn bù dǒng.
But because my English was really bad, I couldn’t understand anything，

然后把我们用的避孕套摆在了棒棒糖的位置。
Ránhòu bǎ wǒmen yòng de bìyùn tào bǎi zài le bàngbàngtáng de wèizhì.
then I put the condoms on the shelf for the lollipops.

你觉得它们看起来很像吗？
Nǐ juéde tāmen kàn qǐlái hěn xiàng ma?
Do you think they look similar?

对，因为它们摇起来都是一样的声音。
Duì, yīnwèi tāmen yáo qǐlái dōu shì yíyàng de shēngyīn.
Yes, they made the same sound when I shook those boxes.

好。还有吗？
Hǎo. Hái yǒu ma?
Alright. Anything else?

对，还有一个，
Duì, hái yǒu yí gè,
Yes, there is another one.

就是有一次把女生的那个姨妈巾卫生巾摆在了一个棉花糖的位置。
jiùshì yǒu yí cì bǎ nǚshēng de nàge yímā jīn wèishēng jīn bǎi zài le yí gè miánhuā táng de wèizhì.
Once I put those ladies’ sanitary napkins on the shelf for the marshmallows.

因为我觉得它们捏起来都很软，
Yīnwèi wǒ juéde tāmen niē qǐlái dōu hěn ruǎn,
Because I thought they were very soft when I pinched them,

而且那一款的卫生巾的包装是比较可爱的那种，
érqiě nà yì kuǎn de wèishēng jīn de bāozhuāng shì bǐjiào kě'ài de nà zhǒng,
and the packaging of that sanitary napkin was the cute type，

我就觉得就是棉花糖。
wǒ jiù juéde jiùshì miánhuā táng.
so I thought it was marshmallow.

好，所以我觉得很有意思。
Hǎo, suǒyǐ wǒ juéde hěn yǒuyìsi.
Ok, so I think it’s so interesting.

那现在你开始学英文了吗？
Nà xiànzài nǐ kāishǐ xué Yīngwén le ma?
Are you starting to learn English now?

是的，我现在已经准备开始学习了。
Shì de, wǒ xiànzài yǐjīng zhǔnbèi kāishǐ xuéxí le.
Yes, I’m ready to start learning now.

好啊，那祝你学得越来越好。
Hǎo a, nà zhù nǐ xué de yuè lái yuè hǎo.
Good, then I hope you learn (and progress) more and more.

好。
Hǎo.
Ok.

好啊，谢谢！
Hǎo a, xièxie!

jiùshì yǒu yí cì bǎ nǚshēng de nàge yímā jīn wèishēng jīn bǎi zài le yí gè miánhuā táng de wèizhì.
