《English Translation》
李芳: 小美, do you know why we use measure words?
小美: I don't know, is it because they sound nice?
李芳: That's part of it, but the most important reason is to make things clearer.
小美: How does it make things clearer?
李芳: For example, if we say 'a cup of water' and 'a fish,' 'cup' tells us the water is in a cup, and 'fish' tells us it's something long and thin.
小美: Oh~ so we can't just use any measure word?
李芳: Right, each measure word has a special meaning to help us tell what things are like.
小美: Then I want to learn more measure words too!
