Sample Sentences

所以说你的品味有问题嘛。说得好听点是邻家小女孩儿，其实就一土包子。中国比她漂亮的女孩儿一抓就是一大把。她要脸蛋没脸蛋，要身材没身材。面黄肌瘦，简直就是营养不良。扔在人群里绝对没人注意。只是到了好莱坞，物以稀为贵，才被捧上了天，觉得她是沉鱼落雁的东方美人。
suǒyǐ shuō nǐ de pǐnwèi yǒuwèntí ma 。shuō de hǎotīng diǎn shì línjiā xiǎonǚháir ，qíshí jiù yī tǔbāozi 。Zhōngguó bǐ tā piàoliang de nǚháir yī zhuā jiùshì yīdàbǎ 。tā yào liǎndàn méi liǎndàn ，yào shēncái méi shēncái 。miànhuángjīshòu ，jiǎnzhí jiùshì yíngyǎng bùliáng 。rēng zài rénqún lǐ juéduì méirén zhùyì 。zhǐshì dào le Hǎoláiwù ，wùyǐxīwéiguì ，cái bèi pěngshàng le tiān ，juéde tā shì chényúluòyàn de dōngfāng měirén 。
So that's why I say there's something wrong with your taste. To put a nice gloss on it, she's the-girl-next-door. Actually, she's a country bumpkin. In China, prettier girls than her are a dime a dozen. Her face is nothing great, and neither is her figure. Her face is yellow and there's no meat on her bones. She's just not getting enough nutrition. If you had her stand in a crowd, no one would pay attention to her. It's just that when she got to Hollywood, rare things are more valuable, and she was put on a pedestal. They thought she was an unspeakably beautiful Eastern lady.

唉，没想到您对免税品成见如此之深，免税品可不只有大牌奢侈品，还有很多物美价廉的好物，购买这些性价比超高免税品，能彰显个人品味不说，还能给生活增添情趣，何乐而不为呢？

Ugh, I wouldn't have thought you'd have such deep prejudices towards duty-free shops. Duty-free shops don't just stock big brand luxury goods, there are also many good quality cheap products. Buying these really high quality-price ratio duty-free goods, not only shows individual taste, it also make life more interesting. Why wouldn’t you buy them?

诶，你怎么知道我正想说这个，心有灵犀哈。但这就是我啊，我不想为任何人改变本真的自我啊。他如果有品味，有内涵，就应该透过我不羁的外表看到我美丽的内心！

Agh, how did you know I was going to say that? You can really read my mind. But what I'm trying to say is that I don't want to change the real me for anyone. If he has taste and is a man of substance, he'll see through my unruly appearance to the beauty within!

停止意淫吧你，他如果有品味，才没有兴趣透过你邋遢的外在探讨你丰富的内心，好吗？出门洗个头，换件正常衣服，化个淡妆，不是为了要取悦别人，是取悦你自己，也是尊重你自己。

You need to stop all this fantasizing! If he has taste, he won't be interested in looking through your disheveled appearance to explore the rich beauty inside, you understand? Washing your hair before you go out, changing into some normal clothes and wearing some make-up is not to make other people happy, it's also out of respect for yourself.

Why would I? I'm always wracking my brains every time the boss asks me to pick a good bottle of wine for him to give to a client, saying that it must make the client aware of our refined taste. I always feel that I'd be better at choosing between gutter oils!

我可没这种感觉，每个人的欣赏品味都不一样嘛。不过一些严肃的场合还是美声唱法更应景些，显得比较庄重。比方说，在两国商务合作的宴会上，《祝酒歌》要比《辣妹子》合适得多啊。

I don't have that feeling at all. Every person's tastes are different. However, bel canto is a bit more suitable at serious events; it seems a bit more solemn. For instance, at a banquet celebrating a business deal between two countries, "Libiamo Ne' Lieti Calici" is more appropriate than "La Meizi."
