2 Xiao Wang is not helpful.


Xiao Li and Xiao Wang are roommates. They are discussing the courses they
are going to take next semester. Translate their dialogue into Mandarin, paying
attention to the conjunctions used in each of their exchanges. Remember that
Mandarin does not use conjunctions everywhere that English does.
Xiao Li: I don’t know whether it is better to take a Chinese language class
or a Chinese history class. (Literally, I don’t know whether taking
a Chinese class is better or a Chinese history class is better.)
Xiao Wang: Which one do you like more, Chinese language or Chinese
history?
Xiao Li: I like them both, Chinese language and Chinese history. (Chinese
language and Chinese history, I like them both.)
Xiao Wang: Then just take both Chinese language and Chinese history.
Xiao Li: I do not have that much time.
Xiao Wang: Then you can choose either Chinese language or Chinese history.
Xiao Li: So you also don't know whether I should take Chinese language
or Chinese history.
Xiao Wang: Of course not, because it has nothing to do with me.
Xiao Li: Thanks a lot!
