DIALOGUE 对话 duìhuà
在客厅
女儿:奇怪!为什么弟弟比我矮,但是手比我的长?
妈妈:不奇怪。他是男孩儿。男孩儿的手比较大。他很快就会比你还高。
女儿:好吧。妈妈,你看我们俩谁的腿比较长?谁的腿比较短?
妈妈:哎呀,别比了。你们帮我看看墙上这幅画。好像一边高,一边低,是不是?
TRANSLATION
In the living room
Daughter: It's strange. Why is my younger brother shorter than me but with longer hands?
Mom: It is not surprising. He is a boy. Boys have big hands. He will even be taller than you soon.
Daughter: Fine. Mom, look who of us has longer legs and who has shorter legs.
Mom: Oh, no more comparing. Please have a look at this picture on the wall for me. It seems that one side of it is higher than the other side, right?
