Mom likes the photo

  1. Dengdeng

    我(wǒ)昨天(zuótiān)发(fā)了(le)做饭(zuòfàn)的(de)照片(zhàopiàn)。

    Yesterday I posted a photo of my cooking.

  2. Liangliang

    我(wǒ)看到(kàndào)了(le)，给(gěi)你(nǐ)点(diǎn)了(le)一个(yīgè)赞(zàn)。

    I saw it. I gave you a like.

  3. Dengdeng

    谢谢(xièxie)！可是(kěshì)只有(zhǐyǒu)你(nǐ)一个(yīgè)人(rén)点(diǎn)赞(zàn)。

    Thanks! But you are the only one who liked it.

  4. Liangliang

    你(nǐ)妈妈(māma)呢(ne)？她(tā)没有(méiyǒu)给(gěi)你(nǐ)点赞(diǎnzàn)吗(ma)？

    What about your mom? Didn't she like it?

  5. Dengdeng

    她(tā)点(diǎn)了(le)赞(zàn)，还(hái)说(shuō)照片(zhàopiàn)很(hěn)好看(hǎokàn)，菜(cài)有点(yǒudiǎn)黑(hēi)。

    She did, and she said the photo is nice but the food looks a bit black.

  6. Liangliang

    所以(suǒyǐ)你(nǐ)妈妈(māma)的(de)赞(zàn)是(shì)给(gěi)照片(zhàopiàn)的(de)，不是(bùshì)给(gěi)菜(cài)的(de)。

    So your mom's like is for the photo, not the food.
