Too sweet

  1. Dengdeng

    我(wǒ)每天(měitiān)都(dōu)喝(hē)一瓶(yīpíng)酸奶(suānnǎi)。

    I drink a bottle of yogurt every day.

  2. Liangliang

    你(nǐ)看(kàn)瓶子(píngzi)上(shàng)写(xiě)的(de)，这瓶(zhèpíng)酸奶(suānnǎi)很(hěn)甜(tián)。

    Look at what the bottle says. This yogurt is very sweet.

  3. Dengdeng

    真的(zhēnde)？酸奶(suānnǎi)怎么会(zěnmehuì)这么(zhème)甜(tián)？

    Really? How can yogurt be so sweet?

  4. Liangliang

    里面(lǐmiàn)放(fàng)了(le)很多(hěnduō)糖(táng)。

    They put a lot of sugar in it.

  5. Dengdeng

    那(nà)我(wǒ)换成(huànchéng)无糖(wútáng)的(de)酸奶(suānnǎi)。

    Then I will switch to sugar-free yogurt.

  6. Liangliang

    好(hǎo)，不过(bùguò)无糖(wútáng)的(de)很(hěn)酸(suān)，你(nǐ)喝(hē)一口(yīkǒu)就(jiù)会(huì)皱眉(zhòuméi)！

    Okay, but the sugar-free one is very sour. You will frown after one sip!
