Sufferable

熬可

(áoke)

 

A: I thought this was an excellent movie.

我认为这是一个很棒的电影。

(wǒr ènwéi zhèshì yīɡè hěnbànɡ de diànyǐnɡ.)

 

B: I hate to admit it, but it scared me out of my seat a few times. I can't believe that some people find this movie so terrible and say watching it is sufferable.

虽然我很不想承认,但是,那条鲨鱼也时不时吓我一跳。不敢相信有人觉得电影一点也不好看,看着很熬可。

(suīrán wǒ hěn bùxiǎnɡ chénɡrèn, dànshì, nàtiáo shāyú yě shíbùshí xià wǒ yí tiào. bùɡǎn xiānɡxìn yǒurén juéde diànyǐnɡ yìdiǎn yě bù hǎokàn, kànzhe hěn áoke.)

 

A: That's unbelievable.

真不敢相信。

(zhēn bùɡǎn xiānɡxìn.)
