The story

小雨爸爸：这是我带来的酒，四川最好的酒！This is the liquor I brought — the best in Sichuan!

爸爸：四川的酒？好！我很能喝！Sichuan liquor? Great! I can really drink!

小雨爸爸：我们四川男人，身体都很强！We Sichuan men are all very strong!

爸爸：我们美国男人更强！American men are even stronger!

小雨：他们在争什么？What are they arguing about?

大卫：争谁最强。爸，你们别争了……Who's the strongest. Dad, stop arguing, you two...

妈妈：让他们争吧。两个小伙子。Let them argue. A pair of young lads.

小雨：大卫，你来填个表格，看谁赢了几次。David, you keep a scoresheet — see who wins how many times.
