The wrong target

  1. Dengdeng

    看我的(kànwǒde)，我(wǒ)一定(yīdìng)能(néng)打中(dǎzhòng)靶子(bǎzi)的(de)正中(zhèngzhōng)！

    Watch this. I can definitely hit the very center of the target!

  2. Liangliang

    加油(jiāyóu)！只有(zhǐyǒu)打中(dǎzhòng)正中(zhèngzhōng)才(cái)有(yǒu)奖品(jiǎngpǐn)。

    Go! Only a hit in the very center wins a prize.

  3. Dengdeng

    看(kàn)，飞镖(fēibiāo)打在(dǎzài)正中(zhèngzhōng)了(le)！

    Look, the dart hit the very center!

  4. Liangliang

    可是(kěshì)那(nà)是(shì)旁边(pángbiān)那(nà)张(zhāng)靶子(bǎzi)的(de)正中(zhèngzhōng)，不是(bùshì)我们(wǒmen)的(de)。

    But that is the center of the target next to ours, not ours.

  5. Dengdeng

    没关系(méiguānxi)，再来(zàilái)十次(shícì)，这次(zhècì)一定(yīdìng)打(dǎ)我们(wǒmen)这(zhè)张(zhāng)的(de)正中(zhèngzhōng)！

    No problem. Ten more tries, and this time I will hit the center of ours for sure!
