North-south is a funny position! If you’re on the bottom, you’re looking at your opponent’s private parts, and if you’re on top, it’s the same thing, just the other way around.

Got it?

A

O norte-sul é uma posição meio engraçada! Se você tá por baixo, você fica olhando pra região íntima do adversário, e se você tá por cima, é a mesma coisa, só que ao contrário.

Sacou? Tá ligando?

Q

(zh)
I’ve been trying to watch a lot of Chinese content lately, but those cheesy romantic soap operas really put me off, and it’s hard to find some really good crime or suspense shows. But I’m watching “The Story of the Pearl Girl” on Netflix right now. Have you heard of it? It’s definitely one of the best Chinese dramas I’ve ever seen. The plot is super good, and the heroine is very inspiring. I really like it. It reminds me a little bit of the movie “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”.

A

我最近在努力看很多中文的内容,但那些俗气的浪漫肥皂剧真的让我很倒胃口,很难找到一些真正好的犯罪或者悬疑类的剧。不过我现在在 网飞上看《珠帘玉幕》,你听说过吗?绝对是我看过最棒的中文剧之一,剧情超级赞,女主角叫端午,她的故事很励志,我真的很喜欢。让我有点想起电影《卧虎藏龙》。

This is a conversation between us, don’t tell anyone else. Why? Because if others knew, they would be jealous of how happy we were chatting. Haha, you are so sweet-mouthed, do you practice it often? No, this is the first time. Maybe it’s because the right person appeared and the inspiration came all of a sudden. Hum, it sounds like you are quite good at talking.

这是我们之间的对话,别告诉别人。为什么呀?因为如果别人知道了,肯定会嫉妒我们聊得这么开心。哈哈,你嘴巴这么甜,平时是不是经常练?没有啊,这是第一次。可能是因为对的人出现了,灵感一下子就来了。哼,听起来还挺会说话的。

Hey, bro, you’re joking, right? That’s impossible. I’m joking, don’t take it seriously!

Little steamed bun, it’s still early and I haven’t started working yet, don’t worry!

I’m the boss, so I can plan my own hours. I usually start working between 9 and 10 in the morning, so we have plenty of time before my employees interrupt me. Now you have my full attention!
