Got it yet?

知道了吗?

Still looking?

还在看?

Don’t cheat…think about it!

不能作弊…再想想!

.

Ok, I will tell you…

好吧,我来告诉你…

Yes, you got it – WHY THE HELL DOES THAT WOMAN HAVE AN UMBRELLA WHEN IT’S NOT RAINING?!

对,你说对了-为什么这个女人在不是下雨的天气打伞?

Ah yes, of course, cultural barrier #6817681 – Chinese people think being pastey as a milk bottle is some sort of status symbol (and you people asked me why I chose to come here?!).

哦~对,当然,文化差异第6817681条-中国人认为苍白得像牛奶一样是一种社会地位的标志(然后你们会问我为什么选择来这里?!)

But that’s not all…not only is she under and umbrella, she’s also UNDER THE BUS SHELTER!

可是根本不是…她不只是在伞下,她还坐在车站的候车亭!

I have learned to live with the folly of trying to stay pale…but c’mon…if the sun’s strong enough to go through three inches of steel, it’s sure as hell strong enough to go through your 10rmb parasol…

我已经学会了和这些死命要变白的傻瓜生活了…可是拜托…如果太阳大到足够穿过3英寸的钢材,毫无疑问能穿过这10块钱的阳伞…
