The Food I Made Doesn't Taste Good
dà wèi大卫dì yī第一cì次zuò做zhōng guó cài中国菜shī bài失败le了,liú nà刘娜ān wèi安慰tā他dì yī第一cì次dōu都shì是zhè yàng这样。

David's first attempt at cooking Chinese food didn't go well. Liu Na comforts him by saying everyone's first attempt is like that.

大卫
lǎo shī老师,wǒ我zuó tiān昨天dì yī cì第一次zì jǐ自己zuò做zhōng guó cài中国菜。

Teacher, yesterday I cooked Chinese food by myself for the first time.

刘娜
zhēn de真的ma吗?nǐ你zuò做le了shén me什么cài菜?

Really? What did you make?

大卫
wǒ我zuò做le了jī dàn鸡蛋hé和mǐ fàn米饭,kě shì可是……bù不hǎo chī好吃。

I made eggs and rice, but... they didn't taste good.

刘娜
zěn me怎么bù不hǎo chī好吃le了?

What was wrong with them?

大卫
jī dàn鸡蛋hēi黑le了,mǐ fàn米饭tài太yìng硬,wǒ我zì jǐ自己dōu都bù xiǎng不想chī吃。

The eggs got burnt, and the rice was too hard. Even I didn't want to eat them.

刘娜
bié别nán guò难过,dì yī cì第一次dōu都zhè yàng这样,wǒ我dì yī cì第一次zuò fàn做饭yě也bù不hǎo chī好吃。

Don't be sad. Everyone's first time is like that. My cooking wasn't good the first time either.

大卫
zhēn de真的ma吗?lǎo shī老师nǐ你yě也yǒu有dì yī cì第一次?

Really? Even you had a first time, Teacher?

刘娜
dāng rán当然!wǒ我dì yī cì第一次zuò做miàn tiáo ér面条儿,wǒ我mā mā妈妈xiào笑le了hěn jiǔ很久。

Of course! The first time I made noodles, my mom laughed for a long time.

大卫
nà那wǒ我jiù就fàng xīn放心le了。wǒ我kě yǐ可以wèn问mā mā妈妈zěn me怎么zuò做。

Then I feel better. I can ask my mom how to cook.

刘娜
hǎo好zhǔ yì主意!duō多zuò做jǐ cì几次,xià cì下次zuò做gěi给wǒ我chī吃,hǎo bù hǎo好不好?

Good idea! Practice a few more times, and next time you can cook for me, okay?

大卫
hǎo好!bù guò不过lǎo shī老师,nǐ你yào要màn màn慢慢chī吃,xiǎo xīn小心yì diǎn ér一点儿!

Okay! But Teacher, you'd better eat slowly and be careful!

刘娜
méi没wèn tí问题,wǒ我děng等zhe着chī吃nǐ你zuò做de的cài菜!

No problem. I'm looking forward to trying your cooking!
