你看看，一个中国富豪在法国买了30万的红酒。咱们中国人总算扬眉吐气了！过两天，再造个航空母舰给他们看看。
nǐ kànkan ，yī ge Zhōngguó fùháo zài Fǎguó mǎi le sānshí wàn de hóngjiǔ 。zánmen Zhōngguórén zǒngsuàn yángméitǔqì le ！guò liǎng tiān ，zài zào ge hángkōngmǔjiàn gěi tāmen kànkan 。
Check this out: a Chinese millionaire bought a bottle of wine in France for 300,000 RMB. We Chinese people are finally feeling proud and looking good! In no time at all, we'll build an aircraft carrier and have them take a look!
这叫什么扬眉吐气？人家都笑话我们是暴发户呢！再说，我们是和平崛起，又不想在世界上称王称霸，造什么航母？
zhè jiào shénme yángméitǔqì ？rénjiā dōu xiàohuà wǒmen shì bàofāhù ne ！zài shuō ，wǒmen shì hépíng juéqǐ ，yòu bù xiǎng zàishìjièshàng chēngwángchēngbà ，zào shénme hángmǔ ？
What is there to be proud of? Everyone jokes that we're new money. Plus, we're rising peacefully. We don't want to become world tyrants. Why would we build an aircraft carrier?
哎，我们有钱买红酒，造航母，关他们什么事？他们就是不爽我们中国现在强大了，还觉得是八国联军那时候，我们好欺负。
ai ，wǒmen yǒuqián mǎi hóngjiǔ ，zào hángmǔ ，guān tāmen shénme shì ？tāmen jiùshì bùshuǎng wǒmen Zhōngguó xiànzài qiángdà le ，hái juéde shì bāguóliánjūn nà shíhou ，wǒmen hǎo qīfu 。
Agh, what does it have to do with them if we have the money to buy wine and build aircraft carriers? They're just not happy to see that we're powerful now. They still think it's the time of the Boxer Rebellion and they can pick on us!
人家也没有这么说。国内有些人太偏激了，老打着爱国主义的旗号漫骂外国人。其实这才是没自信呢！
rénjiā yěméiyǒu zhème shuō 。guónèi yǒuxiērén tài piānjī le ，lǎo dǎzhe àiguózhǔyì de qíhào mànmà wàiguórén 。qíshí zhè cái shì méi zìxìn ne ！
They haven't said that. Some people in China are too extreme. They're always railing against foreigners under the pretense of patriotism. Actually, that's really low self-confidence!
