The bookshelf manual

  1. Dengdeng

    这个(zhège)书架(shūjià)怎么(zěnme)装(zhuāng)？我(wǒ)先(xiān)瞎(xiā)试(shì)一下(yīxià)。

    How do I assemble this bookshelf? Let me try randomly first.

  2. Liangliang

    别(bié)瞎(xiā)试(shì)，看(kàn)说明书(shuōmíngshū)吧(ba)。

    Don't try randomly. Read the manual.

  3. Dengdeng

    说明书(shuōmíngshū)都(dōu)是(shì)图(tú)，我(wǒ)看(kàn)不懂(bùdǒng)。

    The manual is all pictures. I can't understand it.

  4. Liangliang

    那(nà)你(nǐ)也(yě)不能(bùnéng)瞎(xiā)装(zhuāng)，会(huì)装错(zhuāngcuò)。

    Then you can't assemble it randomly either. You'll get it wrong.

  5. Dengdeng

    好(hǎo)，我(wǒ)不(bù)瞎(xiā)装(zhuāng)了(le)，我(wǒ)给(gěi)琦琦(qíqí)打(dǎ)视频电话(shìpíndiànhuà)。

    OK, I won't assemble it randomly any more. I'll video-call Qiqi.

  6. Qiqi

    灯灯(dēngdēng)，你(nǐ)的(de)说明书(shuōmíngshū)拿反(náfǎn)了(le)。

    Dengdeng, you're holding your manual upside down.
