high-quality gentleman/ 高质量男士/ (ɡāo zhìliànɡ nánshì)

A: Have you seen the news? I heard that a single woman in Beijing spent 70,000 yuan to have a matchmaking agency find her a high-quality gentleman.

您看新闻了吗?听说一位北京的单身女士花了7万元要求婚介公司给自己找位高质量男士。

(nínkàn xīnwén le ma?tīnɡshuō yīwèi běijīnɡ de dānshēn nǚshì huāle qiwànyuán yàoqiú hūnjiè ɡōnɡsī ɡěi zìjǐ zhǎowèi ɡāozhìliànɡ nánshì.)

B: What is a high-quality gentleman? 

高质量男士是什么意思?

(ɡāozhìliànɡ nánshì shì shenme yìsī?)

A: It means about the same as a tall, rich and handsome man, they have to be excellent in all requirements. 

意思和高富帅差不多,各方面条件都很优秀。

(yìsī hé ɡāofùshuài chàbùduō, ɡèfānɡmiàn tiáojiàn dōu hěn yōuxiù.)

B: Haha, I get it. I never imagined that real life could have someone so childish that they would spend so much money in the belief this type of company could help them. I'm guessing she was scammed?

哈哈哈,明白了。没想到现实中还真有这么幼稚的人,竟然花这么多钱相信一家中介,我猜她被骗了吧?

(hāhāhā, mínɡbái le.méixiǎnɡdào xiànshí zhōnɡ hái zhēnyǒu zhème yòuzhìde rén, jìnɡrán huā zhèmeduō qián xiānɡxìn yījiā zhōnɡjiè, wǒcāi tā bèi piànle bā?)

A: Yup! It is ridiculous. She discovered that the guys she was meeting weren't tall, rich or handsome at all, some were even in debt. So she was feeling very angry and  set out to embark on a journey to protect her consumer rights. 

是啊!可是很荒唐。后来她发现自己见的男士并不是高富帅,有的还负债,一气之下便开始了自己的维权之路。

(shìā!kěshì hěn huānɡtánɡ.hòulái tā fāxiàn zìjǐ jiànde nánshì bìnɡ bùshì ɡāofùshuài, yǒude hái fùzhai,yīqì zhīxià biàn kāishǐle zìjǐ de wéiquán zhīlù.)
