Where did these screws come from?

  1. Liangliang

    我(wǒ)装(zhuāng)了(le)一个(yīgè)小时(xiǎoshí)，书架(shūjià)还是(háishi)歪(wāi)的(de)。

    I've assembled it for an hour, and the bookshelf is still crooked.

  2. Dengdeng

    你(nǐ)看(kàn)手册(shǒucè)了(le)吗(ma)？

    Did you read the manual?

  3. Liangliang

    手册(shǒucè)？盒子(hézi)里(lǐ)还(hái)有(yǒu)手册(shǒucè)？

    A manual? There's a manual in the box?

  4. Dengdeng

    在(zài)最(zuì)下面(xiàmiàn)。你(nǐ)看(kàn)，第一页(dìyīyè)就(jiù)有(yǒu)图(tú)。

    It's at the bottom. Look, the first page has a picture right away.

  5. Liangliang

    原来(yuánlái)这(zhè)块(kuài)板子(bǎnzi)要(yào)放(fàng)在(zài)这里(zhèlǐ)！装好(zhuānghǎo)了(le)，还(hái)剩(shèng)两颗(liǎngkē)螺丝(luósī)。

    So this board goes here! It's done, but two screws are left over.

  6. Dengdeng

    手册(shǒucè)上(shàng)说(shuō)，那(nà)两颗(liǎngkē)是(shì)备用(bèiyòng)的(de)。

    The manual says those two are spares.
