A: 告訴你一個好消息，一會我打算烤雞翅給你吃，你有口福了。
gàosù nǐ yī ge hǎo xiāoxi， yīhuì wǒ dǎsuàn kǎo jīchì gěi nǐ chī， nǐ yǒu kǒufú le。
Good news! I'm making you roasted chicken wings in a little while. You are in for a treat.
B: 真的嗎？太好了。烤雞翅要怎麼做？
zhēnde ma？ tài hǎole 。 kǎo jīchì yào zěnme zuò？ Really? That's fantastic. How do you make the wings?
A: 很簡單，不過比較費時間。要不要和我一起來？
hěn jiǎndān， bùguò bǐjiào fèi shíjiān。 yào buyào hé wǒ yīqǐ lái？ It's really simple, but takes some time. Do you want to join me?
B: 好的。先要把雞翅解凍嗎？
hǎo de 。 xiān yào bǎ jīchì jiědòng ma？ Sure. Do you defrost the wings first?
A: 對，先用微波爐將雞翅解凍，然後把雞翅放在一個大碗裡，塗上燒烤醬
，放好蔥、姜、鹽、雞精，然後倒半碗醬油，將雞翅浸泡兩個小時。
duì， xiān yòng wēibōlú jiāng jīchì jiědòng， ránhòu bǎ jīchì fàng zài yī ge dà wǎn lǐ， túshàng shāokǎojiàng， fànghǎo cōng、 Jiāng、yán 、 jījīng， ránhòu dào bàn wǎn jiàngyóu， jiāng jīchì jìnpào liǎng ge xiǎoshí。
Yes. Start by defrosting the wings in the microwave. Put them in a large bowl and smear on some barbecue sauce. Marinate the wings for two hours in spring onion, ginger, salt, chicken essence and half a bowl of soy sauce.
B: 啊？還要浸泡兩個小時啊？比我想象的要麻煩呢。然後要做些什麼？
á？ hái yào jìnpāo liǎng ge xiǎoshí ā？ bǐ wǒ xiǎngxiàng de yào máfan ne。 ránhòu yào zuò xiē shénme？
What? You still have to marinate for two hours? That's more work than I thought. What do we do after that?
A: 然後拿出來放在烤箱裡烤二十分鐘就好了啊。其實一點也不麻煩的。放醬油裡浸泡是為了將雞翅醃製入味，吃起來更香。
ránhòu ná chūlai fàng zài kǎoxiāng lǐ kǎo èrshí fēnzhōng jiù hǎo le ā。 qíshí yīdiǎn yě bù máfan de。 fàng jiàngyóu lǐ jìnpào shì wèile jiāng jīchì yānzhì rùwèi， chī qǐlai gèng xiāng。
Then cook the chicken wings for 20 minutes in an oven and you're done! It's actually no trouble at all. Marinating lets the flavor really get absorbed so that they will taste better.
B: 這樣啊，那我們趕快開始動手吧。
