The story

主持人：好消息！成都台的春晚，想请你们家的组合！Great news! Chengdu TV's Spring Festival Gala wants your family's double act!

大卫：组合？我们家没有组合。我们不会唱歌，也不会跳舞。Double act? We don't have a double act. We can't sing or dance.

主持人：是“包子和汤圆”组合啊！观众都爱他们！The "Baozi and Tangyuan" duo, of course! The viewers love them!

小雨：汤圆才三个月，她什么都不会。Tangyuan is only three months old. She can't do anything.

主持人：不用会。一个猫哥哥，一个小妹妹，在台上坐着，就好极了！She doesn't need to. A cat big brother and a baby sister sitting on stage: that's perfect!

小雨：汤圆的第一个春节就上春晚，很有纪念意义！Tangyuan's first Spring Festival, and she's on the gala. That's one to remember!

乐乐：坐着不动？包子最会了！Sitting still? That's Baozi's best skill!

大卫：上春晚？那我得先去理发！On the gala? Then I need a haircut first!
