赵露，你跟我来。别怕，我是好人。我是真心想帮你。
Zhào Lù ，nǐ gēn wǒ lái 。bié pà ，wǒ shì hǎorén 。wǒ shì zhēnxīn xiǎng bāng nǐ 。
Zhao Lu, come with me. Don't be afraid, I'm a good guy. I truly want to help you.
这到底是怎么一回事？佳燕为什么说没见过健明？他们昨天还说过话呀！
zhè dàodǐ shì zěnme yī huí shì ？Jiāyàn wèishénme shuō méi jiàn guo Jiànmíng ？tāmen zuótiān hái shuō guo huà ya ！
Just what is going on here? Why did Jiayan say she had never seen Jianming? They even spoke to each other yesterday!
哎，佳燕这个人说不清。我女朋友失踪以后，我每年都会来这儿找她。每次都住在佳燕的旅馆里。她不太说自己的事情。我只知道她不是本地人。
āi ，Jiāyàn zhè ge rén shuōbuqīng 。wǒ nǚpéngyou shīzōng yǐhòu ，wǒ měinián dōu huì lái zhèr5 zhǎo tā 。měicì dōu zhùzài Jiāyàn de lǚguǎn lǐ 。tā bùtài shuō zìjǐ de shìqing 。wǒ zhǐ zhīdào tā bù shì běndì rén 。
Ah, Jiayan is a hard one to figure out. After my girlfriend disappeared, I come here every year to look for her. Every time I stay in Jiayan's hostel. She doesn't talk about herself much. I just know she's not a local.
我不管她是什么人。我只知道她肯定和健明的失踪有关系。如果不是，她为什么说没见过健明？难道她有失忆症？
wǒ bùguǎn tā shì shénme rén 。wǒ zhǐ zhīdào tā kěndìng hé Jiànmíng de shīzōng yǒu guānxi 。rúguǒ bù shì ，tā wèishénme shuō méi jiàn guo Jiànmíng ？nándào tā yǒu shīyìzhèng ？
I don't care where she's from. I just know she must have something to do with Jianming's disappearance. If not, why would she say she's never seen Jianming? Does she have amnesia?
