体力活

(tǐlì huó)

咱们都在商场逛了两个小时了,你还没有找到合适的鞋吗？

(zánmen dōu zài shānɡchǎnɡ ɡuànɡ le liǎnɡɡe xiǎoshí le, nǐ háiméiyǒu zhǎodào héshì de xiéma?)

B: Hang in there. I think the shop in front of us there will definitely have what I want. Let's take a look.

坚持住,我觉得前面那家店里一定有,咱们去看看。

(jiānchí zhù, wǒ juéde qiánmiàn nàjiā diàn lǐ yīdìnɡ yǒu, zánmen qù kànkàn.)

你自己去吧,我在这边的长椅上休息一下。

B: You're really lacking exercise. Window shopping is a physical activity, how are you going to go window shopping with your girlfriend in the future?

你真是缺乏锻炼,逛街可是个体力活,你以后怎么陪你未来的女朋友逛街？

A: I will have her order her stuff online.

我会让她直接在网上下单的。
