The Little Prince in Cantonese - Chapter 2

Seguro que más de una vez te has sorprendido escuchando esa canción o esa banda sonora que te hace llorar.

马克：就这么简单吗？跟我们那里不一样。
Mǎkè: Jiù zhème jiǎndān mā? Gēn wǒmen nàlǐ bù yīyàng。
丽丽：就是这么简单，太隆重了，他们反而觉得不自然。
Lìlì:     Jiùshì zhème jiǎndān, tài lóngzhòng le, tāmen fǎnér juéde bù zìrán。
马克：我担心这样做不礼貌呢。
Mǎkè: Wǒ dānxīn zhèyàng zuò bù lǐmào ne。
丽丽：投其所好，入乡随俗。我们也请你吃一顿家常便饭。

Mark: Lili, I'm going to meet your mom and dad tomorrow. I'm going to buy some flowers for my aunt and a bottle of red wine for my uncle.  
Lili: There is no need to buy these. We all like fruit very much. Just buy some fruit.  
Mark: Is it that simple?  It's not like where we are.  
Lili: It's as simple as that. If they're too grand, they don't look natural.  
Mark: I'm afraid that would be rude.  
Lili: Do as the Romans do.  We'll treat you to a potluck dinner.
