A crystal bracelet for five yuan

  1. Liangliang

    灯灯(dēngdēng)，你(nǐ)看(kàn)这条(zhètiáo)水晶(shuǐjīng)手链(shǒuliàn)，真(zhēn)漂亮(piàoliang)！

    Dengdeng, look at this crystal bracelet. It's so pretty!

  2. Dengdeng

    这么(zhème)便宜(piányi)，是(shì)真(zhēn)水晶(shuǐjīng)吗(ma)？

    So cheap. Is it real crystal?

  3. Liangliang

    老板(lǎobǎn)说(shuō)，这(zhè)是(shì)玻璃(bōli)做(zuò)的(de)，不是(bùshì)水晶(shuǐjīng)。

    The owner says it's made of glass, not crystal.

  4. Dengdeng

    那(nà)为什么(wèishénme)叫(jiào)水晶(shuǐjīng)手链(shǒuliàn)？

    Then why is it called a crystal bracelet?

  5. Liangliang

    因为(yīnwèi)玻璃(bōli)也(yě)很(hěn)亮(liàng)，像(xiàng)水晶(shuǐjīng)一样(yīyàng)。

    Because glass is shiny too, like crystal.

  6. Dengdeng

    好吧(hǎoba)，我(wǒ)买(mǎi)一条(yītiáo)，反正(fǎnzhèng)才(cái)五块钱(wǔkuàiqián)。

    Okay, I'll buy one. It's only five yuan anyway.
