A: 不公平，那個研究生長得這麼一般，居然進了第二輪。
bu` go¯ ngp´ıng, na`ge ya´njiu¯ she¯ ng zhaˇng de zhe`me y¯ıba¯ n, ju¯ -
ra´n j`ın le d`ı e`r lu´n.
It’s not fair. That graduate student looks so average, and yet she made it to the second round.
B: 是呀。她身材那麼差。怎麼和你比？

she¯ nca´i na`me cha`. zeˇnme he´
nˇı bˇı?
Yeah. Her figure is terrible. How could she compare with you?
A: 就是呀。評委都是瞎子！
jiu`sh`ı ya¯ . p´ıngweˇi do¯ u sh`ı xia¯ zi!
Exactly. The judges are all blind.
B: 我覺得她肯定是和評委或者贊助商有關係。

I think she must have connections to the judges or spon- sors.
A: 對啊。我怎麼沒想到呢？怪不得評委總是色眯眯
地看著她，給她那麼高的分。
du`ı a. woˇ zeˇnme me´ixiaˇngda`o ne? gua`ibude p´ıngweˇi zoˇng-
sh`ı se`m¯ım¯ı de ka`n zhe ta¯ , geˇi ta¯ na`me ga¯ o de fe¯ n.
Yeah. Now why didn’t I think of that? No wonder the judges are always looking at her lustily, giving her such high scores.
B: 我還以為她很單純呢。真看不出她是這種人。

And I thought she was so innocent. You really can’t tell she’s that kind of person.
A: 就是，真噁心。哎，她過來了。
jiu`sh`ı, zhe¯ n eˇxin. a¯ i, ta¯ guo`lai le.
Totally. It’s disgusting. Oh, here she comes.

You must be happy to make it into the next round of the competition.
C: 是啊，我完全沒想到自己能進。
sh`ı a, woˇ wa´nqua´n me´ixiaˇngda`o z`ıjˇı ne´ng j`ın.
Yeah, I totally never imagined I would make it.
B: 我們也沒想到，你和評委的關係那麼好，下次幫我們也說說好話吧！

We never imagined it either. You’re so tight with the judges, next time help us out and put in a good word for us too.
C: 什麼？我不認識評委。
she´nme? woˇ

What? I don’t know the judges.
A: 哦。沒關係。贊助商也可以。
o. me´igua¯ nxi. za`nzhu`sha¯ ng yeˇ keˇyˇı.
Oh. It’s OK, the sponsors are fine too.
C: 對不起，我不明白你們在說什麼。我先走了。
