星期五下班后,我给同事发消息。我说:“今晚一起吃晚饭吧?你想吃中国菜还是日本菜?”她回我:“我想吃日本菜!要不要去那家新开的餐厅?”我说:“好啊,我听说那里的寿司很好吃!”

Xīng qī wǔ xià bān hòu, wǒ gěi tóng shì fā xiāo xī.Wǒ shuō: “Jīn wǎn yì qǐ chī wǎn fàn ba? Nǐ xiǎng chī Zhōng guó cài hái shì Rì běn cài?”Tā huí wǒ: “Wǒ xiǎng chī Rì běn cài! Yào bù yào qù nà jiā xīn kāi de cān tīng?”Wǒ shuō: “Hǎo a, wǒ tīng shuō nà lǐ de shòu sī hěn hǎo chī!”
