The story

小雨：大卫，你看包子。他是不是又胖了？David, look at Baozi. Has he got fat again?

大卫：婚礼的十道菜和蛋糕，外卖的二十个包子！肯定胖了。Ten wedding courses and the cake, twenty takeout buns! He's definitely got fat.

小雨：我们称一称他吧。包子，站在上边！Let's weigh him. Baozi, stand on there!

大卫：好，我来看……十一公斤。十一公斤是多少斤？OK, let me look... eleven kilos. How many jin is eleven kilos?

小雨：一公斤是两斤。所以，包子二十二斤！One kilo is two jin. So Baozi is twenty-two jin!

大卫：减肥以后，他是多少斤？How many jin was he after his diet?

小雨：十八斤。增加了四斤！Eighteen. He's put on four jin!

大卫：四斤……就是两公斤。增加了两公斤！Four jin... that's two kilos. He's put on two kilos!
