Sample Sentences

这些游戏都是打打杀杀，我实在是没什么兴趣。不过好在现在游戏被细分成很多种类，我居然看到一个游戏叫“欲望都市”，就和那部电视剧差不多。任务就是竭尽所能打扮得漂亮，然后出去寻找艳遇。游戏开发商真是无所不能。

These games are all about fighting and killing. I'm really not that interested in them. But the good news is, these days, games have been divided into many different kinds. Amazingly, I saw a game called ''Sex and the City"-- it's more or less like the TV show. You have to get dressed up as pretty as possible, and then go looking for love. There's really nothing that game developers can't do.
