翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, do you know the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz?
Huahua: Of course. It’s a very famous American literary work. It’s not only a storybook but also often adapted into movies and stage plays.
Qingqing: Yes, but have you ever seen a Chinese version of the performance?
Huahua: No, I haven’t. It’s hard to imagine Dorothy and the Scarecrow speaking Chinese.
Qingqing: You can see it this week at the Taichung National Theater. Are you interested in going with me?
Huahua: Sure. The Taichung National Theater is a cultural landmark in Taichung, and I haven’t visited it yet. It would be a great opportunity to check it out.
Qingqing: Let me quickly check if tickets are still available. If they are, I’ll book them right away.
Huahua: No problem, thank you.
