Baoyu: (苦笑。我是说客套话而已啊。) OK, OK. You can come tonight.

Jim: （惊喜）You are my good friend. Oh, very very very good friend. I really want to try some special Chinese food. I like Beijing duck, dumplings, mapo tofu, shuizhu fish, gongbao chicken, hongshao pork ….

Baoyu: （无奈）Oh, my god! You are a chihuo.

Jim: No, thank you. I can help myself.

Baoyu: Don’t be courteous.

Baoyu’s mother: Please eat some chicken. Please eat some duck. Please eat some tofu. Please eat some egg…

Jim: （眼睛瞪大）You are so hospitable. I can help myself.

Baoyu: Don’t be courteous. Eat… eat…（继续夹菜给Jim）

Jim: （尴尬无奈地吃）

Baoyu: I am so happy you can come. Let’s drink some wine. Cheers.

Jim: （喝了一口）Good wine. Good wine.

Baoyu: Oh, you must drink it all. Yes, yes, one cup again. （继续倒酒）

Jim: Oh, no no no … I can’t drink so much wine.

Baoyu: Give me face, friend. Drink it all…

Jim: （无奈喝掉, 结果因为吃太饱喝太多晕倒。）

Baoyu: Call 110.
