你今天穿得这么美,还化了精致的妆,做了发型,是有约会吗?

(nǐ jīntiān chuān de zhème měi, hái huà le jīnɡzhì de zhuānɡ, zuò le fàxínɡ, shì yǒu yuēhuì ma?)

B: Nope, I just feel that I want to live a little bit more exquisitely, so I'm being more particular about what I wear when I go out.

不是呀,就是觉得自己以后的生活应该过得精致一些,出门穿着要讲究。

A: Not bad, not bad. I should learn from your example. I should be more particular about things as well, so I can have a good quality of life and attitude. Your clothing is matched so well, you have to teach me!

不错不错,向你学习,我也要讲究起来,有一个好的生活品质和生活态度。你的衣服穿搭很棒,教教我吧!
