♦A：瞧这窗外的景色！
Qiáo zhè chuāngwài de jǐngsè!
Look at the view from the window!
♦B：哎哟，天啊！太令人失望了，根本就不像我所希望的那样好。
Āiyō, tiān a! Tài lìng rén shīwàngle, gēnběn jiù bù xiàng wǒ suǒ xīwàng dì nàyàng hǎo.
Oh, my God! It’s disappointing. It wasn’t as good as I expected.
♦A：他们说过我们可以看到美丽的海景。
Tāmen shuōguò wǒmen kěyǐ kàn dào měilì dì hǎi jǐng.
They promised us a beautiful sea view.
♦B：嗯……你勉强可以看见海-从工厂的烟囱中间看过去，这儿的空气污染太严重了。
Ń…… Nǐ miǎnqiáng kěyǐ kànjiàn hǎi-cóng gōngchǎng de yāncōng zhōngjiān kàn guòqù, zhè’er de kōngqì wūrǎn tài yánzhòngle.
Well… you can just see the sea-between the factory chimneys. The air pollution is so serious here.
♦A：这是不是太糟糕了？我实在看不下去了。我觉得在这个地方住三个星期我可受不了。
Zhè shì bùshì tài zāogāole? Wǒ shízài kàn bù xiàqùle. Wǒ juéde zài zhège dìfāng zhù sān gè xīngqí wǒ kě shòu bùliǎo.
Isn’t it awful? I can’t bear to look at it. I don’t think I can bear this place for three weeks.
♦B：不过，我们别无选择，只好凑合了。
Bùguò, wǒmen bié wú xuǎnzé, zhǐhǎo còuhéle.
Well, but we have no choice. We’ll just have to put up with it.
