神话故事

(shénhuà ɡùshì) 

A: Have you seen any movies recently? I strongly recommend you see Ne Zha. 

你最近看电影了吗？我强烈推荐你去看《哪吒》。

(nǐ zuìjìn kàn diànyǐnɡ le ma? wǒ qiánɡliè tuījiàn nǐ qù kàn nézhā.) 

B: I've seen the poster for the film on social media. Ne Zha's appearance is very different from the mythical story. 

我已经在社交媒体上看到电影的海报了,哪吒的形象和神话故事里的差好多啊。

(wǒ yǐjīnɡ zài shèjiāo méitǐ shànɡ kàndào diànyǐnɡ de hǎibào le, nézhā de xínɡxiànɡ hé shénhuà ɡùshì lǐ de chà hǎoduō a.)

A: Yeah it really is. The Ne Zha we saw in cartoons as a kid was a happy child, but the Ne Zha in the film is always angry. 

确实是这样,咱们小时候看的动画片里哪吒是个开朗的孩子,电影里的哪吒好像一直在生气。

(quèshí shì zhèyànɡ, zánmen xiǎoshíhòu kàn de dònɡhuàpiān lǐ nézhā shì ɡè kāilǎnɡ de háizi, diànyǐnɡ lǐ de nǎzhà hǎoxiànɡ yīzhí zài shēnɡqì.)   

B: This really ignites my curiosity. I'll go see it when I get off after work today. 

这倒是激起了我的好奇心,我今天下班就去看。

(zhè dǎoshì jīqǐ le wǒ de hǎoqíxīn, wǒ jīntiān xiàbān jiùqù kàn.)  

A: I guarantee you will be satisfied! 

我保证你会满意的！

(wǒ bǎozhènɡ nǐ huì mǎnyì de.)
