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。

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.
