You said it. I've always wanted to go to see the West Lake too. I can even recite the lines of "The Legend of White Snake", so I should really try to go to the actual place to have a look whatever I do. However, we should do a little homework before going.

欸，虽然没得奖，苏亚雷斯、伊布拉希莫维也都是传奇人物啊。总之，这些人射门、传中、点球、任意球样样行，根本就是超能力者啊。

Ah! Although they haven't won the Ballon d'Or, Luis Suárez and Zlatan Ibrahimović are also legendary. Simply speaking, these guys have superpowers when it comes to striking, crossing, taking penalties and free kicks and so on.

你也别不信，我小时候还有个广播节目，专门讲这些乡野传奇，大人小孩都爱听呢！有什么绿毛僵尸、飞天僵尸，一般的僵尸只能跳，飞天僵尸可是会飞的呢！

You shouldn't take things so lightly, when I was younger there was a radio show which focused on these kind of folk tales, adults and children both would listen to it, it talked about green haired zombies and flying zombies. Normal zombies can only jump, flying zombies can fly!

那我一定看不懂。生活压力这么大，为什么还要看这些需要动脑子的电影？所以我还是最喜欢搞笑片、科幻片这类轻松的题材。还有《指环王》这样的史诗传奇也不错。

I definitely wouldn't understand those. There are so many pressures in real life, why would I want to watch movies that require mental exertion? So, my favorites are still silly comedies, science fiction, and similar light-hearted themes. Also, Lord of the Rings and similar legendary epic-style dramas are also pretty good.

那你今年要失望了，他拍了一部武侠传奇片，完全颠覆了以往的风格。我真不明白为什么中国导演现在一窝蜂地去拍这类电影。还是王家卫坚持自我，不同题材都能拍得非常有自己的个性。

Well, this year you are going to be disappointed because he shot a medieval period style film instead. It's completely different from his previous style. I really don't understand why all the Chinese directors are flocking to this type of film now. Wang Kar-wai has stayed true to himself. He can make movies about different themes that all have his own personal ``stamp."
