网游

(wǎnɡyóu) 

A: It's really frightening to see kids so immersed in games. After my little brother gets home from school, he never lets go of his cell phone. He just keeps playing.

现在的孩子沉迷游戏的样子真可怕。我弟弟放学回家,手机就没放下来过。一直在玩。

(xiànzài de háizi chénmí yóuxì de yànɡzi zhēn kěpà. wǒ dìdi fànɡxué huíjiā, shǒujī jiù méi fànɡxià lái ɡuò. yīzhí zài wán.) 

B: So isn't that why the country introduced that policy? From 10 pm to 8 am, minors are prohibited from playing online games. The amount of money they can put on their account is also limited.

所以国家不是出台政策了嘛？未成年人晚上10点到早上八点禁止玩网游。充值金额也有了限制。

(suǒyǐ ɡuójiā bùshì chūtái zhènɡcè le ma? wèichénɡnián rén wǎnshànɡ shídiǎn dào zǎoshànɡ bādiǎn jìnzhǐ wán wǎnɡyóu. chōnɡzhí jīn'é yě yǒu le xiànzhì.)

A: I am in full support of this. He's already failed three classes this semester.

我全力支持。他这个学期考试已经挂了三科了。

(wǒ quánlì zhīchí. tā zhèɡè xuéqī kǎoshì yǐjīnɡ ɡuà le sānkē le.)

B: Well, since I'm an adult, I can stay up all night playing. 

还好我已经成年了,我今晚就玩个通宵。

(háihǎo wǒ yǐjīnɡ chénɡnián le, wǒ jīnwǎn jiù wán ɡè tōnɡxiāo.)
