Wrong character

  1. Dengdeng

    菜单(càidān)上(shàng)写着(xiězhe)牛餐(niúcān)，那(nà)是(shì)什么(shénme)？

    The menu says 牛餐. What is that?

  2. Liangliang

    那(nà)是(shì)午餐(wǔcān)，你(nǐ)把(bǎ)午(wǔ)看成(kànchéng)牛(niú)了(le)。

    That is lunch. You mistook the character for noon as the one for beef.

  3. Dengdeng

    我(wǒ)真的(zhēnde)看成(kànchéng)牛(niú)了(le)，我(wǒ)太(tài)饿(è)了(le)。

    I really read it as cow. I am too hungry.

  4. Liangliang

    那(nà)你(nǐ)要(yào)午餐(wǔcān)，还是(háishi)牛肉(niúròu)饭(fàn)？

    Then do you want the lunch set, or beef rice?

  5. Dengdeng

    两个(liǎnggè)都(dōu)要(yào)！

    Both!
