A: 哎，我們還是請別人裝吧。自己裝實在太累了，還得特地買個工具箱。
āi, wǒmen háishì qǐng biérén zhuāng ba. zìjǐ zhuāng shízài tài lèi le, hái děi tèdì mǎi ge gōngjùxiāng.
Agh, let's hire somebody to build it for us. Building it ourselves is so tiring. Plus you have to buy a tool chest just for this.
B: 宜家的樂趣就是自己裝。要不幹嗎大老遠地跑到宜家來買？
Yíjiā de lèqù jiùshì zìjǐ zhuāng. yàobu gànmá dàlǎoyuǎn de pǎodào Yíjiā lái mǎi?
The fun of IKEA is building things yourself. Otherwise, why on earth would anyone go so far away to buy something from IKEA?
A: 好吧好吧，自己裝！
hǎoba hǎoba, zìjǐ zhuāng!
Fine, fine. Let's build it ourselves.
B: 今天給你個動手機會。我看說明書，你來裝。先把包裝拆了，然後把小配件拿出來。
jīntiān gěi nǐ gè dòngshǒu jīhuì. wǒ kàn shuōmíngshū, nǐ lái zhuāng. xiān bǎ bāozhuāng chāi le, ránhòu bǎ xiǎo pèijiàn ná chūlai.
Today is a good chance for you to do-it-yourself. I'll read the instruction manual, and you build it. First, take apart the packaging and then take out the little fittings and accessories.
A: 這個不用你說。接下來呢？
zhè ge bùyòng nǐ shuō. jiē xiàlái ne?
You don't need to say that. What's next?
B: 把小木銷裝到底板和頂板的眼子裡。喏，木銷給你。
bǎ xiǎo mùxiāo zhuāng dào dǐbǎn hé dǐngbǎn de yǎnzi lǐ. nuò, mùxiāo gěi nǐ.
Put the small dowels into the eyes in the base board and the top board. Here are the dowels.
A: 好了。這麼簡單！像小學手工課。還好我們沒讓別人裝。
hǎo le. zhème jiǎndān! xiàng xiǎoxué shǒugōngkè. háihǎo wǒmen méi ràng biérén zhuāng.
OK. It's so simple. It's like shop class in elementary school. Good thing we didn't hire anyone to assemble it.
B: 我說的吧！現在，把背板豎起來，裝到底板上。
wǒ shuō de ba! xiànzài, bǎ bèibǎn shù qǐlái, zhuāng dào dǐbǎn shàng.
Didn't I say so? Now, stand the back panel up, and put it into the bottom panel.
A: 你幫我扶一把。扶上面，別讓它倒了。好了，輕鬆搞定！
nǐ bāng wǒ fú yī bǎ. fú shàngmian, bié ràng tā dǎo le. hǎo le, qīngsōng gǎodìng!
Help me support it. Hold the top part, don't let it fall down. OK! All taken care of, and it was easy!
B: 嗯，怎麼搖搖晃晃的？
ng5, zěnme yáoyáohuànghuàng de?
Hey, why is it so wobbly?
A: 會嗎？你拿個榔頭給我，我敲敲緊。這下結實了。你把旁邊的兩塊板拿來。你還是幫我扶一下。還有，螺絲給我。
huì ma? nǐ ná ge lángtou gěi wǒ, wǒ qiāo qiao jǐn. zhèxià jiēshi le. nǐ bǎ pángbiān de liǎng kuài bǎn nálái. nǐ háishì bāng wǒ fú yīxià. háiyǒu, luósī gěi wǒ.
Is it? Give me a hammer. I'll tap it and tighten it up. Now it's more solid. Bring over the two side panels. Help me hold it up. And give me the screws.
B: 哎哎，螺絲歪了，你用螺絲刀擰吧。
ài ài, luósī wāi le, nǐ yòng luósīdāo nǐng ba.
Hey, hey- the screws are crooked. Use the screwdriver to twist them.
A: 差一點兒，沒關係的。
chà yīdiǎnr5, méiguānxi de.
It's a little off. No big deal.
B: 豆腐渣工程！這樣會倒的！
dòufuzhā gōngchéng! zhèyàng huì dǎo de!
Shoddy construction! This will fall over!
A: 我做事，你放心吧。現在裝中間的隔板。嗯，怎麼放不進去啊？
wǒ zuòshì, nǐ fàngxīn ba. xiànzài zhuāng zhōngjiān de gébǎn. ng5, zěnme fàng bu jìnqù a?
When I do things, you can rest easy. Now, let's install the partition in the middle. Huh?! How come it doesn't fit?
B: 側板歪了，太窄了。我叫你用螺絲刀，你不用。這種東西不能差一分一毫。
cèbǎn wāi le, tài zhǎi le. wǒ jiào nǐ yòng luósīdāo, nǐ bùyòng. zhèzhǒng dōngxi bùnéng chà yīfēnyīháo.
The sides are crooked. It's too narrow. I told you to use the screwdriver, and you didn't. You can't be off on this kind of stuff, even by the tiniest bit.
A: 你幫我把側板往外撐一點。
nǐ bāng wǒ bǎ cèbǎn wǎng wài chēng yīdiǎn.
Help me push the sideboards out a bit.
B: 不行的。那樣整個書櫃就歪了。
bùxíng de. nàyàng zhěnggè shūguì jiù wāi le.
It's no good. The entire book case is crooked.
A: 我來撐，你來扶住櫃子。呃、呃。
wǒ lái chēng, nǐ lái fú zhù guìzi. è、 è.
I'll push it, you hold it steady. Ugh, ugh.
B: 喂喂喂，你住手！會弄壞的！拆了重裝吧。
wèi wèi wèi, nǐ zhùshǒu! huì nònghuài de! chāi le chóngzhuāng ba.
Hey, hey! Hold on! You'll destroy it! Let's take it apart and start again!
A: 哎！白費力氣了！我去外面找個工人裝。
āi! bái fèi lìqi le! wǒ qù wàimian zhǎo gè gōngrén zhuāng.
Agh! We wasted our energy! I'm going out to find someone to build it for us.
