Sample Sentences

可以是可以，就是很麻烦。网上有攻略，一般是先去深圳，然后在深圳的通关口岸找个旅行社，花五十块钱做个假名单。我上次就是这么做的。
kěyǐ shì kěyǐ ，jiùshì hěn máfan 。wǎngshàng yǒu gōnglüè ，yībān shì xiān qù Shēnzhèn ，ránhòu zài Shēnzhèn de tōngguān kǒuàn zhǎo gè lǚxíngshè ，huā wǔshí kuài qián zuò gè jiǎ míngdān 。wǒ shàngcì jiùshì zhème zuò de 。
You still can, but it's just a pain. Online there's a guide. You usually go to Shenzhen first, then at the border in Shenzhen you find a travel agency and pay 50 kuai to get on a fake list. I did it last time.

你这样做，说白了就是想绕过广东的海关口岸，把鸡翅走私进内地呗！别怪哥们儿没提醒你，现在平均一个月有好几十起查缴非法走私禽肉的案子。上回一个人把鸡翅用铁板封在集装箱夹层里，也没逃过边防警犬的鼻子。
nǐ zhèyàng zuò ，shuō bái le jiùshì xiǎng rǎoguò Guǎngdōng de hǎiguān kǒuàn ，bǎ jīchì zǒusī jìn nèidì bēi ！bié guài gēmenr méi tíxǐng nǐ ，xiànzài píngjūn yī ge yuè yǒu hǎojǐshí qǐ chájiǎo fēifǎ zǒusī qínròu de ànzi 。shànghuí yī ge rén bǎ jīchì yòng tiěbǎn fēng zài jízhuāngxiāng jiācéng lǐ ，yě méi táoguò biānfáng jǐngquǎn de bízi 。
Frankly, the way you're doing it, you really just want to get around Guangdong customs, and smuggle the chicken wings into the mainland! Can't blame your buddies for not reminding you, but lately, every month there's an average of a few dozen cases of people getting caught for smuggling poultry products. There was just a guy who tried to smuggle chicken wings in a false bottom in a shipping container. In the end, he couldn't get past the border police dogs' noses!

我当然是做过调查才和你说的呀！这个有固定套路的。就是利用香港作为自由港的便利，把鸡翅运到香港，然后再分批从广东各个口岸运进内地。
wǒ dāngrán shì zuò guo diàochá cái hé nǐ shuō de ya ！zhè ge yǒu gùdìng tàolù de 。jiùshì lìyòng Xiānggǎng zuòwéi zìyóu gǎng de biànlì ，bǎ jīchì yùndào Xiānggǎng ，ránhòu zài fēnpī cóng Guǎngdōng gègè kǒuàn yùn jìn nèidì 。
I looked into this before talking to you, of course! There's an established way to do this. You can use Hong Kong's status as a free harbor. You ship the chicken wings to Hong Kong, and then separate them into batches and import them to different ports in Guangdong.
