My first bowling game

  1. Liangliang

    周末(zhōumò)去(qù)打(dǎ)保龄球(bǎolíngqiú)吧(ba)！

    Let's go bowling this weekend!

  2. Dengdeng

    我(wǒ)没(méi)打(dǎ)过(guò)保龄球(bǎolíngqiú)，球(qiú)很(hěn)重(zhòng)吧(ba)？

    I've never bowled. The ball is heavy, right?

  3. Liangliang

    不(bù)重(zhòng)，你(nǐ)选(xuǎn)一个(yīgè)最(zuì)轻(qīng)的(de)保龄球(bǎolíngqiú)。

    Not heavy. Pick the lightest bowling ball.

  4. Dengdeng

    看(kàn)！我(wǒ)的(de)保龄球(bǎolíngqiú)一个(yīgè)球瓶(qiúpíng)也(yě)没(méi)倒(dǎo)。

    Look! My bowling ball did not knock down a single pin.

  5. Liangliang

    它(tā)跑(pǎo)到(dào)别的(biéde)球道(qiúdào)上(shàng)，别人(biéren)的(de)球瓶(qiúpíng)全(quán)倒(dǎo)了(le)！

    It rolled into another lane, and everyone else's pins all fell!
