The story

乐乐：搬家了！大卫，小雨，你们的新家在这座楼的三楼！Moving day! David, Xiaoyu, your new home is on the third floor of this building!

师傅：这些家具都很旧了，你们还要吗？This furniture is all pretty old. Do you still want it?

大卫：我想买新家具，可是小雨说，旧的不能扔。I wanted to buy new furniture, but Xiaoyu says the old stuff can't be thrown out.

小雨：旧家具很好用。新家具太贵了，钱要留给宝宝。The old furniture works fine. New furniture is too expensive. The money's for the baby.

乐乐：大卫，你怎么一个人搬三个箱子？David, why are you carrying three boxes all by yourself?

大卫：小雨的肚子这么大了，不能搬重的。她只能拿最轻的东西：大大。Xiaoyu's bump is this big now, so she can't carry anything heavy. She's only allowed the lightest thing: Dada.

马爷爷：搬家具，搬箱子，这么吵……还有一只猫？Furniture, boxes, all this racket... and a cat, too?

马爷爷：以前楼上住的是两个留学生，多安静啊！Two international students used to live upstairs. So nice and quiet!
