Dad: Daniel, here is some money for the tickets.

Daniel: OK, it's my pleasure. How many tickets?

Dad: Oh, like a gentleman. Two tickets for two people.

Daniel: But I am only half a person as you and they charge both of us the same price tickets.

Dad: They may unless we get a half-price ticket for you.

Daniel: Dad, it makes no sense.

Dad: You may ask if you can take a half-price ticket.

(a while later)

Daniel: Yeah, I make certain. A half-price ticket cuts us one point five Yuan.

Dad: Oh, cool. I need to check if we need to change from the Loop 1 line to the Line1?

Daniel: Yes, we'll take the Loop line and then change to Line 1 at the Jianguo Men station.

Dad: Oh, so cool, superboy. Do we need to take buses to the Xidan bookstore after we get off the subway?

Daniel: No, firstly, I am superman. Secondly 2, we don't need to change.

Dad: OK, you are the guide.

Daniel: Ha, am I cool? I've got all the messages we need.

Dad: Will we miss this time?

Daniel: I am not like you. I am like mother, and I am a smart superman.

Dad: OK, let's go.

爸爸：丹尼尔，给你些钱去买票吧。

丹尼尔：好的，我很乐意。要买几张票？

爸爸：啊，像个绅士。两人得两张票啊。

丹尼尔：但我只是个像你一半大的人啊，他们居然也收同样价格的票。

爸爸：是啊，除非我们能买到一张半价票。

丹尼尔：爸爸，这讲不通哦。

爸爸：你可以问一下你是否可以买一张半价票。

（过了一小会儿）

丹尼尔：好了，我买到了半价票，节省了一块五。

爸爸：噢，酷。我要核实一下我们是否需要从环线换乘到一号线。

丹尼尔：要换乘，我们乘环线然后在建国门站换乘一号线。

爸爸：噢，真酷，小超人。我们出地铁后需要再坐公交车去西单图书大厦吗？

丹尼尔：不，首先，我是超人。其次我们不需要换乘。

爸爸：好吧，你领路。

丹尼尔：哈，我酷吗？我把我们需要的所有信息都搜集到了。

爸爸：我们会错过时间吗？

丹尼尔：我可不是你，我和妈妈一样，我是个聪明的超人。

爸爸：好吧，走吧。
