The story

小雨：今天别做饭了，我们叫外卖吧！Let's not cook tonight. Let's order takeout!

大卫：好……我做的菜不好吃，连包子都不吃。OK... my cooking is no good. Even Baozi won't eat it.

小黄：不好吃！不好吃！No good! No good!

大卫：好了，小黄，我知道了！All right, Xiaohuang, I get it!

小雨：你看菜单。中餐还是西餐？Have a look at the menu. Chinese or Western?

大卫：中餐！菜单上，哪个菜最受欢迎？Chinese! Which dish on the menu is the most popular?

小雨：菜单上，最受欢迎的是……包子。The most popular thing on the menu is... buns.

大卫：不行！包子在这儿，我们不能点包子！No way! Baozi's right here — we can't order buns!
