Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

昨天晚上我给你打电话一直没人接,你忙什么呢? 昨天妻子让我陪她去超市买果汁。 我把手机忘在家里了。 买这么点儿东西也用不了那么长时间啊! 我们先去逛了会儿商场。 一进门,售货员就热情地为我们介绍这、介绍那,她买了一条裤子、一件衬衫、两双袜子,然后我们就高高兴兴地回家了。 买东西时我只看自己想买的,而且喜欢自己看、自己选,不希望被别人打扰。 是啊! 回家以后,我才发现,竟然忘了去商场的超市买果汁!

English

I called you last night but no one answered. What were you busy with? Yesterday my wife asked me to go with her to the supermarket to buy juice. I left my phone at home. It shouldn't take that long to buy so few things! We first went to look around the mall for a bit. As soon as we walked in, the shop assistant enthusiastically introduced this and that to us. She bought a pair of pants, a shirt, and two pairs of socks, and then we happily went home. When shopping, I only look at what I want to buy, and I like to look and choose by myself, and I don't want to be disturbed by others. Yeah! After I got home, I realized I had actually forgotten to go to the supermarket at the mall to buy juice!
