Lily's Chinese 对话

Doing the shopping in Moscow is hard.
 I thought it would be simple. But it’s not like that.
 What’s written there? What does this word mean?
 I don’t understand this label. Where’s the price?
 Where’s the expiry date? But I don’t get nervous.
 On the contrary, I often laugh at myself.
 For example, yesterday I wanted sugar and bought flour.
 Now I know that coffee with flour isn’t tasty.
 Living in Russia is an interesting adventure!
*********************************************
在莫斯科购物很难。
 我想这会很简单。 但不是那样的。
 那里写了什么？ 这个词是什么意思？
 我不明白这个标签。 价格在哪里？
 到期日在哪里？ 但我不紧张。
 相反，我经常嘲笑自己。
 例如，昨天我想要糖，买了面粉。
 现在我知道加面粉的咖啡不好吃了。
 生活在俄罗斯是一个有趣的冒险！
********************************************************
Faire les courses à Moscou est difficile.
 Je pensais que ce serait simple. Mais ce n'est pas comme ça.
 Qu'est-ce qui est écrit là? Que signifie ce mot?
 Je ne comprends pas cette étiquette. Où est le prix?
 Où est la date d'expiration? Mais je ne deviens pas nerveux.
 Au contraire, je ris souvent de moi-même.
 Par exemple, hier, je voulais du sucre et j'ai acheté de la farine.
 Maintenant, je sais que le café avec de la farine n'est pas savoureux.
 Vivre en Russie est une aventure intéressante!
