A：Are you ok, Chuck? You look pale.

查克，你沒事吧？你臉色看起來不太好．

B：I'm fine, Katherine. I just stayed up late last night working on my Chinese.

我沒事，凱瑟琳，就是昨天晚上熬夜學漢語，很晚才睡．

A：Oh, poor you. You know what? I found a new way to learn Chinese and it works very well.

真可憐．你知道嗎，我發現一個學漢語的新方法，還挺有效的呢．

B:You did? Do tell me. I've spent all these months trying to learn something new about it, but I've made little progress!

是嗎？你可一定要告訴我。我這幾個月一直在學，可幾乎什么都沒學到．

A:Sure. I'm learning Chinese through songs.

當然可以啦，我的方法就是“唱歌學中文”

B:So you're learning Chinese songs?

那你就是在學中文歌啦？

A:You can say that. I can actually sing some of them now.

沒錯！我現在都會唱幾首

B:That's a real achievement. How did you do that?

真了不起！你是怎么學會的

A:I start by listening to the song a few times and after several times I am able to follow the singer.

一開始，我先聽聽，幾遍下來，我就能跟上節奏啦．

B:It makes sense.

挺有道理的。

A:It does. I've learned some Chinese folk songs this way. They are clearly presented and easy to follow.

是啊。我這么學了幾首中國民歌，這些歌都唱得很清楚，很好學．

B:Can I join you, Katherine? I do want to have a try.

凱瑟琳，我照跟你一塊兒嗎？我也想試試這個方法．

A:Why not? I downloaded a beautiful song the other day. We can learn it together now.

當然．可以,幾天前我下了首好聽的歌，我們可以—塊兒學．

B:Great. Do you think we need a Chinese dictionary?

太好了．我們要帶本漢語字典嗎？

A:Yes, just in case we run into me new characters.

帶吧，要是我們遇上生字，可以查一查。

B:Ok. I will bring it with me.

好的，我把我的字典帶上．
