enter fall

入秋

(rùqiū) 

A: Time is flying by too fast. It's September already. We are going to enter fall before we know it. 

时间过得太快了。居然已经九月了。转眼就要入秋了。

(shíjiān ɡuòdé tài kuài le. jūrán yǐjīnɡ jiǔyuè le. zhuǎnyǎn jiùyào rùqiū le.) 

B: I know right? I still feel like I haven't enjoyed the summer. There are a lot of things I wanted to do but I haven't had time to do.

可不是？我感觉夏天还没过够呢。好多想干的事情都没来得及干。

(kěbúshì? wǒ ɡǎnjué xiàtiān háiméi ɡuòɡòu ne. hǎoduō xiǎnɡɡàn de shìqínɡ dōu méi láidéjí ɡàn.)

A: What did you want to do?

你想干什么呀？

(nǐ xiǎnɡ ɡànshénme ya?)

B: Like paddling a boat on a lake or reading a book in a park.

比如去湖边划划船,去公园看看书。

(bǐrú qù húbiān huáhuá chuán, qù ɡōnɡyuán kànkàn shū.)

A: Those things can also be done in the fall. I wanted to go to a water park but didn't get the chance. I think it's a bit too cold to go now. 

这些秋天也可以去。我是想去水上乐园,没去成。我觉得现在去天气有点冷了。

(zhèxiē qiūtiān yě kěyǐ qù. wǒshì xiǎnɡqù shuǐshànɡ lèyuán, méi qùchénɡ. wǒ juédé xiànzài qù tiānqì yǒudiǎn lěnɡ le.)
