pomelo / 柚子 / (yòuzǐ)

A: Today I went to the supermarket and bought your favorite fruit, can you guess what it is?   

今天我去超市买了你最喜欢的水果,你猜猜是什么？

(jīntiān wǒqù chāoshì mǎile nǐ zuì xǐhuān de shuǐɡuǒ, nǐ cāicāi shì shenme?)

B: Without a doubt, it has to be pomelo. Did I guess it right?  

那毫无疑问,当然是柚子了。我猜的对吗？

(nà háowúyíwèn, dānɡrán shì yòuzǐ le.wǒcāi de duì ma?)

A: Yup. I wanted to try my luck to see if I could buy a two-color pomelo.       

没错,我本来想试试运气看能不能买到双色柚子。

(méicuò, wǒ běnlái xiǎnɡ shìshì yùnqì kàn nénɡbùnénɡ mǎidào shuānɡsè yòuzǐ.)

B: What is a two-color pomelo? I've never heard of it. 

双色柚子是什么呢？我从来都没听说过。

(shuānɡsè yòuzǐ shì shenme ne？wǒ cónɡlái dōuméi tīnɡshuō ɡuò.)

A: Didn't you see that trending topic online? A consumer in Anhui Province, bought a pomelo in a supermarket. The one he chose just happened to have the flesh of one side being red and the other side being white.   

你没看网上的热搜话题吗？有一位安徽的消费者在超市里买柚子。他挑中的那颗刚好一半是红色的果肉,而另一半是白色的。

(nǐ méikàn wǎnɡshànɡ de rèsōu huàtí ma？yǒu yīwèi ānhuī de xiāofèizhě zài chāoshì lǐ mǎi yòuzǐ.tā tiāozhōnɡde nàkē ɡānɡhǎo yībàn shì hónɡsè de ɡuǒròu, ér lìnɡyībàn shì báisè de.) 

B: That's incredible. Hurry up and open the pomelo you bought and let's see if we get a surprise. 

这也太神奇了吧,快把你买的柚子打开,看看会不会有惊喜。

(zhè yě tài shénqí le bā, kuàibǎ nǐ mǎide yòuzǐ dǎkāi, kànkàn huìbùhuì yǒu jīnɡxǐ.)

A: I'll be totally thrilled if it is a two-color pomelo.

如果这是一个双色柚子,我会非常激动。

(rúɡuǒ zhèshì yīɡè shuānɡsè yòuzǐ, wǒ huì fēichánɡ jīdònɡ.)
