💃: giant pandas are as famous as Sichuan cuisine. 🕺: Yes,

🕺说到四川，

🕺: shuō dào Sìchuān,

🕺: Speaking of Sichuan,

🕺大家一定会想到大熊猫，

🕺: dàjiā yīdìng huì xiǎngdào dàxióngmāo,

🕺: everyone must think of giant pandas,

🕺也会想到火锅。 💃对，

🕺: yě huì xiǎngdào huǒguō. 💃: Duì,

🕺: and also hotpot. 💃: Yes,

💃熊猫是动物，

💃: xióngmāo shì dòngwù,

💃: Pandas are animals,

💃火锅是美食，

💃: huǒguō shì měishí,

💃: hotpot is food,

💃都很特别。

💃: dōu hěn tèbié.

💃: both are very special.

🕺我记得在成都吃火锅的时候，

🕺: Wǒ jìde zài Chéngdū chī huǒguō de shíhou,

🕺: I remember eating hotpot in Chengdu,

🕺桌子上有一个小熊猫的图案。

🕺: zhuōzi shàng yǒu yīgè xiǎoxióngmāo de tú'àn.

🕺: there was a red panda pattern on the table.

💃是吗？ 💃很有意思。

💃: Shì ma? 💃: Hěn yǒu yìsi.

💃: Really? 💃: That’s interesting.

💃四川人很喜欢把熊猫放在纪念品上。

💃: Sìchuānrén hěn xǐhuān bǎ xióngmāo fàng zài jìniànpǐn shàng.

💃: Sichuan people love putting pandas on souvenirs.

🕺对，有熊猫玩具，

🕺: Duì, yǒu xióngmāo wánjù,

🕺: Yes, there are panda toys,

🕺熊猫钥匙扣，

🕺: panda keychains,

🕺还有熊猫图案的衣服。

🕺: hái yǒu xióngmāo tú'àn de yīfu.

🕺: and clothes with panda patterns.

💃我有一件熊猫T恤，

💃: Wǒ yǒu yī jiàn xióngmāo T xù,

💃: I have a panda T-shirt,

💃白色的，上面有黑色的熊猫眼睛。

💃: báisè de, shàngmiàn yǒu hēisè de xióngmāo yǎnjīng.

💃: wǒ péngyǒu kàndào, dōu wèn wǒ zài nǎlǐ mǎi de.

💃: My friends saw it and asked where I bought it.

🕺你知道吗？

🕺: Nǐ zhīdào ma?

🕺: Did you know?

🕺大熊猫其实不怕冷，

🕺: Dàxióngmāo qíshí bùpà lěng,

🕺: Giant pandas aren’t afraid of the cold,

🕺因为四川有山，有竹林。 💃对，

🕺: yīnwèi Sìchuān yǒu shān, yǒu zhúlín. 💃: Duì,

🕺: because Sichuan has mountains and bamboo forests. 💃: Yes,

💃四川的天气比较湿润，

💃: Sìchuān de tiānqì bǐjiào shīrùn,

💃: Sichuan’s weather is quite humid,

💃竹子长得好。

💃: zhúzi zhǎng de hǎo.

💃: and bamboo grows well.

🕺所以熊猫在四川很开心。

🕺: Suǒyǐ xióngmāo zài Sìchuān hěn kāixīn.

🕺: So pandas are very happy in Sichuan.

💃我觉得大熊猫和四川人有点像。

💃: Wǒ juéde dàxióngmāo hé Sìchuānrén yǒudiǎn xiàng.

💃: I think giant pandas are a bit like Sichuan people.

🕺哪里像呢？

🕺: Nǎli xiàng ne?

🕺: How so?

💃大熊猫安静，

💃: Dàxióngmāo ānjìng,

💃: Giant pandas are peaceful,

💃四川人生活也慢，

💃: Sìchuānrén shēnghuó yě màn,

💃: and Sichuan people live slowly,

💃很喜欢坐在茶馆里聊天。 🕺对，

💃: hěn xǐhuān zuò zài cháguǎn lǐ liáotiān. 🕺: Duì,

💃: they love sitting in teahouses chatting. 🕺: Yes,

🕺生活节奏不快，

🕺: shēnghuó jiézòu bù kuài,

🕺: Their pace of life isn’t fast,

🕺很舒服。 💃所以

🕺: hěn shūfu. 💃: Suǒyǐ

🕺: very comfortable. 💃: So

💃大熊猫和四川文化有联系。

💃: dàxióngmāo hé Sìchuān wénhuà yǒu liánxì.

💃: giant pandas are connected to Sichuan culture.

🕺说到文化，

🕺: Shuō dào wénhuà,

💃一个是红色的。

💃: yīgè shì hóngsè de.

🕺: Dàxióngmāo hé huǒguō,

🕺: Giant pandas and hotpot,

🕺都是四川的代表。

🕺: dōu shì Sìchuān de dàibiǎo.

🕺: both represent Sichuan.

💃一个是辣，

💃: yīgè shì là,

🕺辣是辣椒的味道，

🕺: má shì huājiāo de wèidào.

🕺: The first time I ate it, I was surprised,

🕺舌头都麻了。

🕺: You can put meat,

🕺菜、豆腐，

🕺: cài, dòufu,

🕺: vegetables, tofu,

🕺什么都可以。

💃火锅很热闹，

💃: Huǒguō hěn rènào,

💃: Hotpot is lively,

💃大家坐在一起，边吃边说。

💃: dàjiā zuò zài yīqǐ, biān chī biān shuō.

🕺: Yes,

🕺吃火锅的时候，人们会觉得很开心。

🕺: chī huǒguō de shíhou, rénmen huì juéde hěn kāixīn.

🕺: People feel happy when eating hotpot.

💃除了火锅，

💃: Chúle huǒguō,

💃: Besides hotpot,

💃四川还有很多好吃的菜。

💃: Sìchuān hái yǒu hěnduō hǎochī de cài.

💃: Sichuan has many delicious dishes.

🕺比如说麻婆豆腐。

🕺: Chicken cut into small pieces,

🕺加花生，酸甜辣都有。

🕺: jiā huāshēng, suāntiánlà dōu yǒu.

💃: Wǒ hěn xǐhuān gōngbǎojīdīng,

💃: I really like kung pao chicken,

💃不太辣，味道很平衡。

💃: bù tài là, wèidào hěn pínghéng.

💃: it’s not too spicy, very balanced.

🕺四川人真的很会用调料。

🕺: Sìchuānrén zhēnde hěn huì yòng tiáoliào.

🕺: Sichuan people are really good at using seasonings.

💃对，盐、

💃: Duì, yán,

💃: many flavors together.

🕺所以四川菜味道很丰富。

🕺: Suǒyǐ Sìchuāncài wèidào hěn fēngfù.

🕺: So Sichuan cuisine is very rich in flavor.

💃我觉得四川人很喜欢“辣”，

💃: Wǒ juéde Sìchuānrén hěn xǐhuān “là”,

💃: I think Sichuan people love “spicy,”

💃因为辣让人更有精神。

💃: yīnwèi là ràng rén gèng yǒu jīngshén.

🕺可是很舒服。

💃在四川，很多人每天都吃辣。

💃: Zài Sìchuān, hěnduō rén měitiān dōu chī là.

💃: In Sichuan, many people eat spicy food every day.

🕺我听说，有的四川人如果一天不吃辣，

🕺: Wǒ tīngshuō, yǒu de Sìchuānrén rúguǒ yītiān bù chī là,

🕺: I heard some Sichuan people feel something’s missing

🕺就觉得少了什么。

🕺: jiù juéde shǎo le shénme.

💃对，他们说没有辣，饭不好吃。

💃: Duì, tāmen shuō méiyǒu là, fàn bù hǎochī.

🕺: Yes, that’s the feeling.

🕺又怕辣，又想吃。

🕺: Yòu pà là, yòu xiǎng chī.

💃我觉得这就是四川美食的魅力。

💃: Wǒ juéde zhè jiùshì Sìchuān měishí de mèilì.

💃: I think that’s the charm of Sichuan cuisine.

🕺吃四川菜，不只是味道，

🕺: Chī Sìchuāncài, bù zhǐshì wèidào,

🕺: Eating Sichuan food isn’t just about taste,

🕺也是一个体验。

🕺: yě shì yīgè tǐyàn.

🕺也是文化。 💃对，

🕺: yě shì wénhuà. 💃: Duì,

🕺: mindset is very optimistic. 💃: Yes,

💃他们觉得生活要简单，

💃: tāmen juéde shēnghuó yào jiǎndān,

💃要快乐。 🕺我有一个四川朋友，

💃: yào kuàilè. 🕺: Wǒ yǒu yīgè Sìchuān péngyǒu,

💃: and joyful. 🕺: I have a Sichuan friend,

🕺他常说一句话：

💃这句话很好，

💃: Zhè jù huà hěn hǎo,

💃: That’s a great saying,

💃很轻松。

💃: hěn qīngsōng.

💃: very relaxed.

🕺所以四川人给人的印象就是：热情、

🕺: Suǒyǐ Sìchuānrén gěi rén de yìnxiàng jiùshì: Rèqíng,

🕺: So the impression of Sichuan people is: warm,

🕺乐观、会享受生活。

💃喜欢聊天，

💃: xǐhuān liáotiān,

🕺我觉得这和四川的环境也有关系。

🕺: Wǒ juéde zhè hé Sìchuān de huánjìng yě yǒu guānxì.

🕺: I think this is also related to Sichuan’s environment.

💃对，四川有山，有河，

💃: Yes, Sichuan has mountains, rivers,

💃风景美，人也自然放松。

💃: fēngjǐng měi, rén yě zìrán fàngsōng.

🕺: chili peppers, teahouses,

🕺麻将，还有人，都在一起。

🕺: májiàng, hái yǒu rén, dōu zài yīqǐ.

💃: These things together,

💃就是四川的生活画面。

💃: jiùshì Sìchuān de shēnghuó huàmiàn.
