The Puppy Goes to Daycare
xiǎo bǎo小宝tīng shuō听说yǒu rén有人bǎ把gǒu狗sòng送qù去chǒng wù宠物yòu zhì yuán幼稚园,xiǎo gāng小刚yòng用shēng huó生活lì zi例子jiě shì解释yuán yīn原因。

Xiaobao hears that someone sends their dog to a pet kindergarten, and Xiaogang explains the reason using everyday examples.

小宝
gē gē哥哥,wèi shén me为什么nà zhǐ那只xiǎo bái gǒu小白狗měi tiān每天dōu都zuò chē坐车chū qù出去?

Big brother, why does that little white dog ride in a car every day?

小刚
tā它qù去chǒng wù宠物yòu zhì yuán幼稚园。tā它de的zhǔ rén主人bái tiān白天yào要shàng bān上班,jiā lǐ家里méi没rén人péi陪tā它。

It goes to a pet kindergarten. Its owner has to work during the day, so no one is home to keep it company.

小宝
yòu zhì yuán幼稚园?xiǎo gǒu小狗yě也yào要shàng kè上课ma吗?

Kindergarten? Do puppies have to go to class too?

小刚
bú shì不是xué学yǔ wén语文shù xué数学,shì是yǒu rén有人péi陪tā它wán玩,dài带tā它sàn bù散步,yě也jiào教tā它bú yào不要luàn jiào乱叫、bú yào不要yǎo咬dōng xī东西。

It doesn’t learn Chinese or math. Someone plays with it, takes it for walks, and teaches it not to bark randomly or bite things.

小宝
ó哦,jiù就xiàng像mā mā妈妈máng忙de的shí hòu时候,nǐ你péi陪wǒ我wán玩yī yàng一样。

Oh, it’s like when Mom is busy and you play with me.

小刚
duì对,chà bu duō差不多。xiǎo gǒu小狗yí gè一个rén人zài jiā在家huì会hài pà害怕,yě也huì会luàn pǎo乱跑。qù去nà lǐ那里bǐ jiào比较ān quán安全。

Yes, pretty much. A puppy might feel scared alone at home and run around. It’s safer there.

小宝
nà那tā它huì会jiāo交péng yǒu朋友ma吗?

Will it make friends there?

小刚
huì会a啊。bù guò不过lǎo shī老师yào要xiān先kàn kàn看看měi zhǐ每只gǒu狗de的xìng gé性格,zài再ràng让tā men它们yì qǐ一起wán玩。

Yes. But the teachers first check each dog’s personality before letting them play together.

小宝
nà那wǒ我míng bái明白le了。tā它bú shì不是qù去dú shū读书,shì是qù去yǒu有rén人zhào gù照顾de的dì fāng地方。

Now I understand. It’s not going to study; it’s going somewhere where someone takes care of it.

小刚
duì对。děng等tā它fàng xué放学huí lái回来,wǒ men我们kě yǐ可以zài在lóu xià楼下kàn kàn看看tā它。

Right. When it comes back after school, we can go downstairs and see it.
