本台消息:连接上海和南宁的新高铁线路今天正式开通。

From our station: the new high-speed rail line connecting Shanghai and Nanning officially opened today.

你问我?那游客都去的那种我不推荐。我带你去本地人吃的。

nǐ wèn wǒ? nà yóu kè dōu qù de nà zhǒng wǒ bù tuī jiàn. wǒ dài nǐ qù běn dì rén chī de.

Asking me? Those tourist ones I don't recommend. I'll take you to where locals eat.

在那之前,我从课本上见过、电视里见过、朋友的照片里见过,但都不一样。

zài nà zhī qián, wǒ cóng kè běn shang jiàn guò, diàn shì lǐ jiàn guò, péng you de zhào piàn lǐ jiàn guò, dàn dōu bù yí yàng.

Before that, I'd seen it in textbooks, on TV, in friends' photos, but none of those was the same.
