Earphones on the subway

    亮亮(liàngliàng)，在(zài)地铁(dìtiě)里(lǐ)能不能(néngbùnéng)戴上(dàishang)耳机(ěrjī)？

    Liangliang, could you put on earphones in the subway?

    Why? My volume isn’t loud.

    That makes sense. We should think of others.

    对(duì)。你(nǐ)戴上(dàishang)耳机(ěrjī)，大家(dàjiā)都(dōu)清静(qīngjìng)了(le)。

    Right. Once you put on earphones, everyone has some peace.

    可是(kěshì)对面(duìmiàn)的(de)叔叔(shūshu)说(shuō)，他(tā)想(xiǎng)听完(tīngwán)那首(nàshǒu)歌(gē)。

    But the uncle opposite says he wants to hear the whole song.
