The story

马克：安娜，现在是早上五点。开业是九点啊。Anna, it's five in the morning. We don't open till nine.

安娜：今天开业，每一个包子，我都要亲自做。It's opening day. I'm making every single bun myself.

马克：我们可以请一个师傅帮忙，或者用机器制造。We could hire a cook to help, or have a machine make them.

安娜：不行。我第一次经营一家店，我要亲自做。No. It's the first time I've run a shop. I want to do it myself.

安娜：你看，这是我们店的创新：猫脸包子！Look, this is our shop's big idea: cat-face buns!

马克：有耳朵，有眼睛，跟包子一样！Ears, eyes... just like Baozi!

马克：好吃，又好看。这个创新，一定能满足顾客的需求！Tasty and cute. This idea is sure to give customers what they want!

安娜：包子，你是我们店的形象。坐在窗户旁边，别动。Baozi, you're the face of our shop. Sit by the window and don't move.
