Prove it!

  1. Dengdeng

    你(nǐ)不是(bùshì)说(shuō)你(nǐ)会(huì)做饭(zuòfàn)吗(ma)？那(nà)你(nǐ)证明(zhèngmíng)一下(yīxià)。

    Didn't you say you can cook? Then prove it.

  2. Liangliang

    好啊(hǎoa)，今晚(jīnwǎn)你(nǐ)来(lái)我(wǒ)家(jiā)，我(wǒ)证明(zhèngmíng)给(gěi)你(nǐ)看(kàn)！

    Sure! Come to my place tonight and I'll prove it to you!

  3. Dengdeng

    好(hǎo)，我(wǒ)很(hěn)期待(qīdài)，你(nǐ)做(zuò)什么(shénme)菜(cài)？

    OK, I am looking forward to it. What will you cook?

    Tomato and eggs. It's the only dish I can make.

  5. Dengdeng

    这(zhè)不够(bùgòu)证明(zhèngmíng)你(nǐ)会(huì)做饭(zuòfàn)，这(zhè)只能(zhǐnéng)证明(zhèngmíng)你(nǐ)会(huì)做(zuò)一个(yīgè)菜(cài)！

    That doesn't prove you can cook. It only proves you can make one dish!
