Jianmin, I see from the big bag that you're carrying that you've gone on a shopping spree.
我刚刚从有机超市买了周末晚餐派对的食材，我上个礼拜就邀请你了，别忘了！

I just came from the organic supermarket to buy the ingredients for the dinner party at the weekend. I invited you last week, don't forget!
记得、记得，话说回来，有机超市？你什么时候也成了”有机一族”了？

I remember, I remember. Talking of that, organic supermarket? When did you become an organic food fan?
说来好笑，我本来一点都不相信有机，不过自从我女朋友大力宣扬有机的好处后，我就被洗脑了，现在都尽量吃有机食品。

It's a little funny. I didn't really believe in organic food originally. However, since my girlfriend starting selling me on the advantages of organic food, I've been brainwashed. Now I try to eat organic as much as possible.
