The New Neighbor

A new neighbor moves in next door, and the family lends a hand and gets to know her.

At the Front Door

下午,门外有很多东西。

xiàwǔ,ménwàiyǒuhěnduōdōngxī。

In the afternoon, there was a lot of stuff outside the door.

一个阿姨在一个大,不动。

yígèāyízàibānyígèdàxiāngzi,bānbúdòng。

A woman was trying to move a big box, but she couldn't budge it.

Xiao Hua

妈妈,那个太了,她一个人不行。

māma,nàgexiāngzitàizhòngle,tāyígèrénbùxíng。

Mom, that box is way too heavy. She can't manage it on her own.

Mom

那你快去呀,我也来。

nànǐkuàiqùya,wǒyělái。

Then hurry and go help her. I'll come too.

Carrying the Things

Xiao Hua

阿姨,您是新来的吧?我您拿。

āyí,nínshìxīnláideba?wǒbāngnínná。

Ma'am, you just moved in, right? Let me carry that for you.

The Neighbor

啊,谢谢你!这个里都是书,真。

a,xièxiènǐ!zhègexiāngzilǐdōushìshū,zhēnzhòng。

Oh, thank you! This box is full of books, so it's really heavy.

两个人一前一后,慢慢把上楼。

liǎnggèrényìqiányīhòu,mànmànbǎxiāngzibānshànglóu。

One in front and one behind, the two of them slowly carried the box upstairs.

Xiao Hua

下面还有,我再下去拿。

xiàmiànháiyǒuyǐzi,wǒzàixiàqùná。

There's still a chair downstairs. I'll go back down and get it.

A Glass of Water

The Neighbor

了吧?进来喝杯水,坐一会儿。

lèileba?jìnláihēbēishuǐ,zuòyíhuìr。

You must be tired. Come in for a glass of water and sit down for a bit.

Xiao Hua

好。您家的书真多,我也喜欢看书。

hǎo。nínjiādeshūzhēnduō,wǒyěxǐhuankànshū。

Okay. You have so many books! I love reading too.

The Neighbor

是吗?这本你拿回去看吧。

shìma?zhèběnnǐnáhuíqùkànba。

Really? Here, take this one home to read.

小华笑着回家,手里多了一本书。

xiǎohuáxiàozhehuíjiā,shǒulǐduōleyìběnshū。

Xiao Hua headed home with a smile, a new book in hand.
