UNLUCKY PRINCE

7--THE CHIU FAMILY

POV OF LUIS

 I heard voices.

As I peek at the door of our study room.

"Hāi bù lài ēn, zhè shì yàlìshāndà. Nǐ zěnme yàng?"

-Hi Brian, this is Alexander. How are you doing?

It was my dad speaking in Mandarin over a videophone. That's why its kinda sounds hard to comprehend.

[Wǒ gānggāng cóng zǒngbù huílái. Tiānqì shì tài bàngle! Bōshìdùn shì yīgè wěidà de chéngshì!]

-I've just returned from the Head Office. The weather is great! Boston is a great city!

"Nǐ jiànguò fúlánkè ma?"

-Have you met Frank yet?

[Bù, wǒ hái méiyǒu jiànguò tā ne. Wǒmen yǒu yīgè huìyì zài míngtiān zǎoshang 10 diǎn zhōng. Wǒmen yào mǎnzú jí kě]

-No, I haven't seen him yet. We have a meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. We are going to meet then.

"Nǐ yǒu nǐ de yǎnjiǎngle ma?"

-Have you made your presentation yet?

[Shì de, wǒ suǒzuò de jièshào, zuótiān xiàwǔ. Wǒ dāngshí hěn jǐnzhāng, dàn yīqiè dōu jìnxíng dé hěn shùnlì..]  

-Yes, I made the presentation yesterday afternoon. I was very nervous, but everything went well.

"Yǐ guǎnlǐ gěi nǐ méiyǒu rènhé fǎnkuì?"

-Has management given you any feedback yet?

 

[Shì de, wǒ yǐjīng huìjiànle xiāoshòu zǒngjiān. Wǒmen zài huìyì jiéshù hòu lìjí jǔ háng huìyì, tā shì wǒmen de gōngzuò liú xià shēnkè de yìnxiàng].
