你说，李小龙、成龙和李连杰，谁最能打？
nǐ shuō ，LǐXiǎolóng 、ChéngLóng hé LǐLiánjié ，shéi zuì néng dǎ ？
Tell me: of Bruce Li, Jackie Chan or Jet Li, whose kung fu is the greatest?
不是李小龙就是李连杰，他们有真功夫。成龙就只有点花拳绣腿，作秀的成分多一点。
bù shì LǐXiǎolóng jiùshì LǐLiánjié ，tā men yǒu zhēn gōngfu 。Chénglóng jiù zhǐ yǒudiǎn huāquánxiùtuǐ ，zuòxiù de chéngfèn duō yīdiǎn 。
If it's not Bruce Li it's Jackie Chan. They really know kung fu. Jackie Chan's style is showy but impractical. It's more of a performance.
成龙其实也有功夫，从小就师从京剧武生。而且就是凭着那股能打的劲儿，和天不怕地不怕的胆子，才闯出来的。
Chénglóng qíshí yě yǒu gōngfu ，cóngxiǎo jiù shīcóng jīngjù wǔshēng 。érqiě jiùshì píng zhe nà gǔ néng dǎ de jìnr5 ，hé tiānbùpàdìbùpà de dǎnzi ，cái chuǎng chūlai de 。
Jackie Chan actually knows kung fu. Since he was young he played a fighter in Peking Opera. And just relying on his enthusiasm for fighting, and the guts to be afraid of nothing at all, he burst onto the scene.
不过中国功夫能扬名天下，李小龙的功劳是最大的。
bùguò ZhōngGuógōngfū néng yángmíng tiānxià ，LǐXiǎolóng de gōngláo shì zuìdà de 。
The biggest part of the credit for Chinese kung fu being world-famous has to go to Bruce Li.
