Mooncake Dilemma 月饼之难 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo
Description
上次我们聊过
Shàngcì wǒmen liáo guò
We talked about this last time
现在大家都不想吃月饼了
Xiànzài dàjiā dōu bù xiǎng chī yuèbing le
Now no one wants to eat mooncakes anymore
今年的中秋节和预料的一样
Jīnnián de Zhōngqiū Jié hé yùliào de yīyàng
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is just as expected
我们又收到了好多月饼礼盒
Wǒmen yòu shōudào le hǎoduō yuèbing lǐhé
We received a lot of mooncake gift boxes again
一个比一个精致
Yīgè bǐ yīgè jīngzhì
Each one is more exquisite than the last
每一盒都是几百元人民币
Měi yī hé dōu shì jǐ bǎi yuán rénmínbì
Each box costs several hundred yuan (RMB)
可是没有人想吃
Kěshì méiyǒu rén xiǎng chī
But no one wants to eat them
我们尝了几个
Wǒmen cháng le jǐ gè
We tried a few
实在不能多吃了
Shízài bù néng duō chī le
We really can't eat more
这次度假我们带了些去
Zhècì dùjià wǒmen dài le xiē qù
We took some with us on this vacation
朋友们也不吃
Péngyǒumen yě bù chī
Our friends don't want to eat them either
确实热量太高了
Quèshí rèliàng tài gāo le
They really have too many calories
那么多盒月饼
Nàme duō hé yuèbing
There are so many boxes of mooncakes
不知道送给谁
Bù zhīdào sòng gěi shuí
We don't know who to give them to
每家也都收到了至少一盒月饼吧
Měi jiā yě dōu shōudào le zhìshǎo yī hé yuèbing ba
I think every family has received at least one box of mooncakes too
过了中秋节这一天
Guò le Zhōngqiū Jié zhè yī tiān
After the day of Mid-Autumn Festival
这些月饼就没有礼品价值了
Zhèxiē yuèbing jiù méiyǒu lǐpǐn jiàzhí le
These mooncakes will no longer have gift value
只能吃掉或者扔掉
Zhǐ néng chī diào huòzhě rēng diào
We can only eat them or throw them away
它们的包装都很精美
Tāmen de bāozhuāng dōu hěn jīngměi
Their packaging is all very beautiful
扔了可惜
Rēng le kěxī
It's a pity to throw them away
留着没用
Liú zhe méi yòng
But keeping them is useless
这真的是一种资源浪费
Zhè zhēn de shì yī zhǒng zīyuán làngfèi
This is really a waste of resources
星巴克每年也有月饼礼券出售
Xīngbākè měinián yě yǒu yuèbing lǐquàn chūshòu
Starbucks also sells mooncake gift vouchers every year
今年我们又收到了星巴克月饼券
Jīnnián wǒmen yòu shōudào le Xīngbākè yuèbing quàn
This year we received Starbucks mooncake vouchers again
真的不想去兑换了
Zhēn de bù xiǎng qù duìhuàn le
We really don't want to redeem them
就等中秋节过了后
Jiù děng Zhōngqiū Jié guò le hòu
We'll just wait until after Mid-Autumn Festival
去换成咖啡券吧
Qù huàn chéng kāfēi quàn ba
and exchange them for coffee vouchers
真希望这些人不要送月饼
Zhēn xīwàng zhèxiē rén bù yào sòng yuèbing
I really hope these people stop giving mooncakes as gifts
而是送现金,哈哈哈
Ér shì sòng xiànjīn, hā hā hā
and give cash instead, hahaha
真是个头疼的问题
Zhēn shì gè tóuténg de wèntí
This is really a troubling problem
