翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: My brother just messaged me saying he’s going to Dajia Riverside Park in Taipei this weekend to attend the S2O Taiwan Songkran Music Festival. He and his friends bought their tickets a while ago but didn’t tell me. How despicable of him!
Huahua: He managed to get tickets? That event is super popular among young people. It’s impressive he got them.
Qingqing: I’m still young too! This event, which combines Thailand’s Songkran festival with a major music party, is definitely worth attending.
Huahua: Your brother wasn’t very considerate not inviting you. But you can’t entirely blame him if you didn’t keep an eye on the event yourself.
Qingqing: True. There are a lot of international stars performing this year, from the US, Europe, South Korea, and even Taiwan. The atmosphere will be incredible.
Huahua: Just wait until your brother comes back and brags about it. Don’t be too jealous. It’s your fault for not paying attention.
Qingqing: I won’t stoop to his level. Besides, I don’t want to get all wet. I just hope he doesn’t catch a cold. Hmph.
Huahua: You’re unbelievable! So stubborn. Alright, calm down. Let’s go get something to eat.
