Thirty kilometres?

  1. Dengdeng

    小王(xiǎowáng)说(shuō)他(tā)一天(yītiān)跑(pǎo)了(le)三十(sānshí)公里(gōnglǐ)。

    Xiao Wang says he ran thirty kilometres in one day.

  2. Liangliang

    这(zhè)是(shì)鬼话(guǐhuà)！谁(shéi)能(néng)跑(pǎo)那么(nàme)远(yuǎn)？

    That is nonsense! Who can run that far?

  3. Dengdeng

    他(tā)还(hái)给(gěi)我(wǒ)看(kàn)了(le)手机(shǒujī)上(shàng)的(de)照片(zhàopiàn)。

    He also showed me a photo on his phone.

  4. Liangliang

    让(ràng)我(wǒ)看看(kànkan)……哎(āi)，他(tā)是(shì)骑(qí)自行车(zìxíngchē)去(qù)的(de)。

    Let me see... oh, he went by bicycle.

  5. Dengdeng

    原来(yuánlái)不是(bùshì)鬼话(guǐhuà)，他(tā)只是(zhǐshì)把(bǎ)骑(qí)说(shuō)成(chéng)了(le)跑(pǎo)。

    So it is not nonsense. He just said running instead of riding.
