这节目不挺好看的吗？上面全都是外国人，比赛谁的中国话说得好。你别说，有几个说得还挺顺溜的，虽然有点洋腔洋调，但能说到这水平太不容易了。这得费多大的劲儿啊？看你爸这么大年纪了，还肉弱不分，一口的家乡话，到现在还改不过来。

Isn't this show great? Everyone on it is a foreigner and they compete to see whose Chinese is the best. Actually, some of them speak quite fluently. Although it's a bit accented, being able to speak at this level is really not easy. Do you know how much effort you have to put in? Look at your old father. He still can't differentiate "meat" and "weak;" he speaks purely dialect. There's no changing it at this point.
