@ 30432 Watching a DVD
A: 你想看哪張碟？
nˇı xiaˇng ka`n naˇ zha¯ ng Die´?
Which DVD would you like to watch?
B: 看《越獄》吧。
ka`n ”yue4yu`” ba5.
Let’s watch “Prison Break.”
A: 好的，我也正想看這部呢。上次買了張盜版碟，
畫面太模糊了，害得我實在看不下去。

OK. I was just thinking I’d like to watch that too. Last time I bought a pirated DVD the picture was too fuzzy. It was so bad that I couldn’t even watch it.
B: 那這次你買的不會也是盜版的吧？

sh`ı da`obaˇn de ba?
So, the one you bought this time isn’t also a pirated one then, is it?
A: 放心吧，這次買的絕對是正版的。有了上次的教訓我還敢買盜版的嗎？雖然正版的比較貴，但質量絕對是可靠的。

Don’t worry. The one I bought this time is definitely legit. After learning my lesson last time, do you think I would dare to buy a pirated copy again? Although official copies are more expensive, the quality is absolutely reliable.
B: 好了，好了。你別光顧著說話了，快開始放吧。
對了，有字幕嗎？

All right, all right. Don’t just go on and on talking hurry up and start it. Oh, are there subtitles?
A: 賣碟的說有。啊，出來了。

The person selling it said there are. Ah, there they are.
B: 這裡看過了。能不能快進一下？
zhe`lˇı ka`n guo` le. ne´ng bu`ne´ng kua`ij`ın y¯ıxia`?
I’ve seen this part before. Can you fast forward it a bit?
A: 不行，我好像還沒看過。
bu`x´ıng, woˇ haˇoxia`ng ha´i me´i ka`n guo`.
No way, I don’t think I’ve seen it yet.
