Description

In this episode, I head to work after a happy morning surprise! You’ll learn how to describe multitasking with 一边…一边…, talk about what’s happening with 正在, and express feelings caused by others with 让. 💻☕

到了公司,我一边喝咖啡,一边回复邮件。同事走过来笑着说:“你今天看起来心情很好呀!”我说:“对啊,我正在想那只可爱的猫!”她笑了笑,说:“猫真的让人开心。”

Dào le gōng sī, wǒ yì biān hē kā fēi, yì biān huí fù yóu jiàn.Tóng shì zǒu guò lái xiào zhe shuō: “Nǐ jīn tiān kàn qǐ lái xīn qíng hěn hǎo ya!”Wǒ shuō: “Duì a, wǒ zhèng zài xiǎng nà zhī kě ài de māo!”Tā xiào le xiào, shuō: “Māo zhēn de ràng rén kāi xīn.”

(When I arrived at the office, I drank coffee while replying to emails.A colleague walked over and said, “You look really happy today!”I said, “Yeah, I’m thinking about that cute cat.”She laughed and said, “Cats really make people happy.”)

  • 一边…一边… — doing two actions at once

  • 正在 — in the middle of (doing something)

  • — to make / to cause (someone to feel something)
