Walking on the streets in China, we can see many people playing mobile phone, what about it in America?
在中国，我们可以看到很多人在路上玩手机，美国呢？
I haven’t had a chance to see a Chinese library. Their aren’t many here. The only one I know of is too far to bother.Especially considering there won’t be much of an English section.
我还没有机会看中国图书馆。这边不是很多。有一个知道的又太远。又特别考虑到不会有很多英文（书籍）。
It’s very quiet and the librarians make sure to keep it that way. I love biographies, epic poems, greek philosophy, and America classics. There’s something about the smell of books that’s so enchanting. I don’t know what it is.
图书馆非常安静，图书馆员也会让这种氛围一直保持。我爱传记、 咏史诗、 古希腊哲学和美国经典之作。还有书的味道是如此迷人。虽然我不知道它是什么。
Depends on what you’re buying. A new book is always gonna cost you but since most of the books I read were written well over a hundred years ago, I never have to worry about it. in fact, most of the books I get are free since the authors are all dead.
取决于你买什么。一本新书总需要你花钱，但因为我读的书大部分是在一百多年前写的，不用担心这件事。事实上，我得到的书大部分都是免费，因为作者们都死了。
Why are all the books wrapped up in plastic?! I can’t read them? Take for example Books-A-Million in America. You can walk in, take a book up, sit down and order a cup of coffee and enjoy a book on your lunch break.
为什么所有的书都用塑料包裹？ ！我不能读吗？在美国的Books-A-Million，你可以走进来、 拿起一本书，坐下来然后买一杯咖啡，在午休的时候享受一本书。
