Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

我早上跟你打招呼,你没看见。想不到又在这儿碰见你了。 真是对不起,我不是故意的,今天早上我忘戴眼镜了,看不清楚。 刚才我在旁边看到你跳中国舞了,没看出来你跳得这么好!难道你以前在你们国家就学过中国舞蹈吗? 我小时候妈妈教我跳过两年的舞,所以稍微有点儿基础。再说,舞蹈不仅是一门艺术,也是一种“语言”,这种语言与国籍无关,无论哪个国家的人都能看懂。 太好了!我刚学习跳这种舞没多久,你帮我看看,我的这个动作对不对。 你这个动作做得还是不太标准,我给你跳一遍。你仔细看看,应该像我这样:先抬胳膊,然后抬腿,最后头再向右转一下。

English

I said hi to you this morning, but you didn't notice. I didn't expect to run into you here again. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it. This morning I forgot to wear my glasses and couldn't see clearly. Just now I saw you dancing Chinese dance nearby. I couldn't tell you danced so well! Did you learn Chinese dance in your country before? When I was a child, my mom taught me dance for two years, so I have a bit of a foundation. Besides, dance is not only an art, it is also a "language", and this language has nothing to do with nationality; people from any country can understand it. Your move is still not quite standard; I'll do it once for you. Look carefully; it should be like I do: first raise your arms, then raise your leg, and finally turn your head to the right a bit.
