The Cat Doesn't Like Me
péng yǒu朋友jiā家de的māo猫zǒng shì总是pǎo kāi跑开,dà wèi大卫hěn很nán guò难过,liú nà刘娜ān wèi安慰tā他shuō说māo猫jiù shì就是zhè yàng这样。

The cat at his friend's house always runs away, which makes David very sad. Liu Na comforts him and says that's just how cats are.

大卫
lǎo shī老师,wǒ我péng yǒu朋友jiā家yǒu有yī zhī一只māo猫,kě shì可是tā它bù不xǐ huān喜欢wǒ我。

Teacher, my friend has a cat, but it doesn't like me.

刘娜
wèi shén me为什么?tā它zuò做shén me什么le了?

Why? What did it do?

大卫
wǒ我yī一guò qù过去,tā它jiù就pǎo跑kāi开,pǎo跑dào到chuáng床xià miàn下面。

Whenever I go near it, it runs away and hides under the bed.

刘娜
māo猫jiù shì就是zhè yàng这样,bié别nán guò难过。

Cats are just like that. Don't be sad.

大卫
kě shì可是tā它hěn很xǐ huān喜欢wǒ我de的péng yǒu朋友,tiān tiān天天gēn zhe跟着tā他。

But it really likes my friend. It follows him around every day.

刘娜
māo猫rèn shí认识nǐ你de的péng yǒu朋友hěn很duō nián多年le了,tā它hái还bù不rèn shí认识nǐ你。

The cat has known your friend for many years. It doesn't know you yet.

大卫
nà那wǒ我zěn me怎么zuò做,tā它cái才huì会xǐ huān喜欢wǒ我?

Then what should I do to make it like me?

刘娜
nǐ你bié kàn别看tā它,bié别dòng动,zuò坐zài在páng biān旁边jiù就hǎo好。

Don't look at it or move. Just sit nearby.

大卫
zhēn de真的ma吗?zhè me这么róng yì容易?

Really? It's that easy?

刘娜
duì对,māo猫huì会zì jǐ自己guò lái过来kàn看nǐ你。nǐ你děng yī děng等一等,tā它jiù就lái来le了。

Yes. The cat will come over to check you out on its own. Just wait a little, and it'll come.

大卫
hǎo好,xià cì下次wǒ我qù去péng yǒu朋友jiā家,jiù就zuò坐zhe着bù不dòng动!

Okay, next time I go to my friend's house, I'll just sit still!

刘娜
xī wàng希望nà那zhī只māo猫kuài diǎn快点xǐ huān喜欢nǐ你。

I hope that cat warms up to you soon.
