Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

这是明天你出差要带的毛巾、牙膏和牙刷,把它们放到箱子里吧。 不用拿这些,宾馆都会免费提供的。再说,箱子已经够重的了! 我当然知道宾馆里有。你不是一直说要保护环境吗?现在就从身边的小事做起吧。 行,没问题。我明天上午10点的飞机,你能开车把我送到机场吗? 那个时间路上堵车多严重啊!你还是坐地铁去机场吧。这样不仅省油钱,而且还不会污染空气。 好,那就听你的。

Pinyin

Zhè shì Míngtiān nǐ chūchāi yào dài de Máojīn, Yágāo hé Yáshuā, bǎ tāmen fàngdào Xiāngzi lǐ ba. Bùyòng ná zhèxiē, Bīnguǎn dōu huì miǎnfèi tígōng de. Zàishuō, Xiāngzi yǐjīng gòu zhòng de le!

Wǒ míngtiān shàngwǔ shí diǎn de fēijī, nǐ néng kāichē bǎ wǒ sòng dào jīchǎng ma? Nàge shíjiān lùshàng dǔchē duō yánzhòng a! Nǐ háishì zuò dìtiě qù jīchǎng ba. Zhèyàng bùjǐn shěng yóuqián, érqiě hái búhuì wūrǎn kōngqì. Hǎo, nà jiù tīng nǐ de.

English

These are the towel, toothpaste, and toothbrush you need to bring for your business trip tomorrow. Put them in the suitcase. You don’t need to take these; the hotel will provide them for free. Besides, the suitcase is already heavy enough! Of course I know there are some in the hotel. Haven't you always said we should protect the environment? Let's start now with the small things around us. Okay, no problem. I have a 10 a.m. flight tomorrow morning; can you drive me to the airport? The traffic on the road is really bad at that time! You'd better take the subway to the airport. This way not only saves gas money, but also won't pollute the air. Okay, we'll do it your way.
