A: Do you want to come over to my place to play this weekend? You can also see my doggie's new look.   

这个周末你想来我家玩玩吗？顺便看看我家小狗的新装扮。

(zhèɡè zhōumò nǐ xiǎnɡlái wǒjiā wánwán ma? shùnbiàn kànkàn wǒjiā xiǎoɡǒu de xīn zhuānɡbàn.)

B: Of course. But can you reveal some nice details about your doggie's new look?  

当然好啊,不过你能跟我透露下你家小狗有什么新装扮吗？

(dānɡrán hǎo ā, bùɡuò nǐnénɡ ɡēnwǒ tòulù xià nǐjiā xiǎoɡǒu yǒu shenme xīn zhuānɡbàn ma?)

A: It's been cold recently so I've bought a bunch of cute sweaters for it.

最近天凉了,我给它买了好多可爱的毛衣。

(zuìjìn tiān liánɡle, wǒ ɡěitā mǎile hǎoduō kěài de máoyī.)

B: Speaking of this, I've been reminded of a recent trending topic online. A netizen claimed that her dad bought their dog more than 100 different hair clips.  

说到这个,我想到最近网上的一个热搜。有位网友称她爸爸给家里的狗狗买了上百枚发卡。

(shuōdào zhèɡè, wǒ xiǎnɡdào zuìjìn wǎnɡshànɡ de yīɡè rèsōu.yǒuwèi wǎnɡyǒu chēnɡ tā bàbà ɡěi jiālǐ de ɡǒuɡǒu mǎile shànɡbǎiméi fāqiǎ.)

A: What else did the netizen say in the post? 

这个发帖的网友还说什么呢？

(zhèɡè fātiē de wǎnɡyǒu hái shuō shenme ne?) 

B: She said she never got this type of treatment when she was young. Sometimes if she wanted to use the dog's hair clips she would have to get her dad's permission. 

她说她小时候都没有这种待遇。有时候想要用小狗的发卡还必须经过爸爸的同意。

(tāshuō tā xiǎoshíhòu dōu méiyǒu zhèzhǒnɡ dàiyù.yǒu shíhòu xiǎnɡyào yònɡ xiǎoɡǒu de fāqiǎ hái bìxū jīnɡɡuò bàbà de tónɡyì.)
