翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, may I borrow your computer for a bit?
Huahua: What’s wrong? What happened to yours?
Qingqing: I don’t know what’s going on. It keeps crashing suddenly. My laptop and phone are the same. It’s so annoying.
Huahua: Ah, it must be because of “Mercury retrograde.” It just started this year, and you’re already feeling the effects.
Qingqing: Mercury retrograde? You actually believe that?
Huahua: So many Taiwanese people believe in astrology. What’s the big deal?
Qingqing: I think all my devices are just getting old. It’s time to replace them. It has nothing to do with Mercury retrograde.
Huahua: Oh, and they say Mercury retrograde affects relationships, too. If you don’t believe it, I won’t say anything. I’m going to the restroom. Go ahead and use my computer.
