Dialogue 1

Jingjing: Hey Mark. How's your week going?
京晶：嘿，马克，这周过得怎么样？
Mark: Hey Jingjing. It's been a smooth week so far.
马克：嘿，京晶。目前还比较顺利。
Jingjing: You look like you're a little under the weather—if you don't mind me pointing it out.
京晶：你看上去有些不舒服的样子，如果你不介意我指出来的话。
Mark: Yeah, it might look that way; but I'm fine. I had to work late yesterday, and forgot to use night cream. So, my eyes look a little dark.
马克：是的，可能看上去有点，但是我很好。我昨天不得不工作到很晚，还忘了用晚霜。所以，我的眼睛看着有点黑。
Jingjing: Yeah, that's what I noticed. Anyway, it's good you're feeling well. Mark, I wonder if you could give me some advice.
京晶：对，那就是我注意到的。好吧，你感觉身体还好就好。马克，我在想你能否给我一点建议。
Mark: Sure. What's up?
马克：当然，怎么了？
Jingjing: Well, I have to go to a pageant, and am wondering about make-up.
京晶：是这样的，我要去参加一个盛典，我想知道怎么化妆。
Mark: I don't think you need any make-up.
马克：我不觉你需要任何的化妆。
Jingjing: Hah! Guys always say that. But seriously, I want to get away from the casual look for an evening. How do you think I should handle it? I could go to a salon and get a make-over, go to a cosmetics shop and buy a kit, or just use whatever lipstick I have already.
京晶：哈，男生们总是这么说。但说真的，我想为这个晚上打扮的得不同一些。你觉得我应该如何操作一下呢？我可以去一个美容店弄一弄，去化妆品店买一个化妆套装，或者就用我手里有的不管什么颜色的唇膏。
Mark: Hmm. At the salons, they always overdo it, you know, with foundation and all kinds of stuff. On the other hand, I've seen people after they've done their own make-up, and it looked a little wrong.
马克：嗯，在美容沙龙里，他们经常会弄过头，比如涂粉底或者其他什么的。另一方面，我也见过一些人自己化妆，看上去总是哪里不对。
Jingjing: I don't really have much make-up. I'd have to buy a lot of products and might not use them again.
京晶：我真的没有太多化妆品。我必须得买一大堆以后可能不会再用的产品了。
Mark: You have lipstick already. I think if you just added to that an eyebrow pencil, mascara, and a small pallet, it'd be enough. Oh, and don't forget to pick up some make-up remover.
马克：你已经有唇膏了。我想如果你再添一支眉笔，睫毛膏，和一个小彩妆色盘的就足够了。噢, 对了，别忘了再买一些卸妆液。
Jingjing: You think that's all I need?
京晶：你觉得我就需要这些了吗？
Mark: If the pallet doesn't include rouge or eyeshadow, you'd want to add those.
马克：如果色盘不包括腮红和眼影，你就得再买上那些。
Jingjing: The salon might work out well for me, because I can go there on the way to the pageant.
京晶：去沙龙可能能很好地解决我的问题，因为我可以在去盛典的路上就去那儿了。
Mark: That might work better for you. Just don't let them make you look like you're gonna be in a Peking opera. By the way, are you hosting the pageant or just going as a guest.
马克：这办法可能更好。就是不要让他们把你打扮得像要演京剧了。对了，你是要主持这个盛典呢还是只是作为一个嘉宾去。
Jingjing: I'll be there mostly as a guest. But the organizers told me to be ready to take the stage for a short time.
京晶：主要是宾客身份吧。但是组织者告诉我准备短暂上会儿台。
Mark: Yeah, so go mostly for the natural look. A few accents should be enough.
马克：所以，基本以最自然的面貌去参加就行了，稍事打扮即可。
Jingjing: Thanks for your advice, Mark.
京晶：谢谢你的建议哦，马克。
