欸！这不是演唱会的票根吗？你去看了那个你喜欢很久的韩国团体了吗？怎么样？过不过瘾？

Ah! Isn't this a ticket stub for a concert? Did you go to see that South Korean group you've liked for ages? How was it? Did you have a great time?
过瘾啊！上礼拜三去看的，到现在想到都还会心跳加快呢！真的超开心，他们每一个都好高、好帅啊。

It was great! I went last Wednesday, even now my heartbeat speeds up when I think about it! It was a really good time, they are all really tall and very handsome.
哈哈哈，讲到他们，你马上变花痴耶！对了，你有没有被邀请上台啊？

Hahaha, you seem really lovestruck all of a sudden! Oh yes, did you get invited on stage?
唉，说到这个就难过，被邀请上台的竟然是我旁边的女生！这千载难逢的机会竟然不是我！
ǎi ，shuōdào zhè ge jiù nánguò ，bèi yāoqǐng shàngtái de jìngrán shì wǒ pángbiān de nǚshēng ！zhè qiānzǎinánféng de jīhuì jìngrán búshì wǒ ！
