Chinese Conversation – lesson 490
到达士林夜市
盖柏：老兄，看看这么多人！我们怎么挤得进去？
莫理：我们一定可以。你只要走进去，然后变成人潮的一部分。
盖柏：在老家没有像这样的地方。甚至购物中心也从不会这么挤。
莫理：中国人喜欢夜市这个样子。他们称做‘热闹’，意思有点像‘这是个刺激的地方’。
盖柏：哇，那个乞丐在做什么啊？你有看到他头后面隆起来吗？
莫理：有啊。他总是在这里。
Arriving at Shilin Night Market
Gabe: Dude, look at all the people! How are we ever going to cram ourselves in there?
Morley: We’ll be OK. You just walk in and become part of the flow.
Gabe: There’s nothing like this at home. Malls don’t even get this packed.
Morley: Chinese people love night markets to be like this. They call it “renao”, which kind of just means “this place is happening.”
Gabe: Holy cow, what’s wrong with that beggar? Do you see all those ridges in the back of his head?
Morley: Yeah. He’s always here.
