A couple stands outside a comedy club after the show, debating whether the performance was worth the ticket price and deciding where to go next.

说实话,这场演出真的值这个票价吗?
shuō shí huà, zhè chǎng yǎn chū zhēn de zhí zhè ge piào jià ma?
Honestly, was this show really worth the ticket price?
W
我觉得挺值的啊,开场那个段子把我笑坏了。
wǒ jué de tǐng zhí de a, kāi chǎng nà ge duàn zi bǎ wǒ xiào huài le.
I think it was totally worth it—that opening bit cracked me up.
L
开场是不错,可是后面那半个小时太没意思了。
kāi chǎng shì bú cuò, kě shì hòu miàn nà bàn ge xiǎo shí tài méi yì si le.
The opening was good, but that last half hour was so boring.
W
你可能就是不太喜欢那个演员的风格吧。
nǐ kě néng jiù shì bú tài xǐ huan nà ge yǎn yuán de fēng gé ba.
You probably just don't really like that performer's style.
L
也许吧,不过两百块的票,我还是觉得有点儿贵。
yě xǔ ba, bú guò liǎng bǎi kuài de piào, wǒ hái shì jué de yǒu diǎnr guì.
Maybe, but for a two-hundred-yuan ticket, I still think it's a bit pricey.
W
现场的气氛也得算进去啊,跟在家看视频不一样。
xiàn chǎng de qì fēn yě děi suàn jìn qù a, gēn zài jiā kàn shì pín bù yí yàng.
You have to count the live atmosphere too—it's different from watching a video at home.
L
这倒是真的,大家一起笑起来确实更带劲。
zhè dào shì zhēn de, dà jiā yì qǐ xiào qǐ lái què shí gèng dài jìn.
That's true—everyone laughing together really is more fun.
W
对吧,所以我觉得这票价还能接受。
duì ba, suǒ yǐ wǒ jué de zhè piào jià hái néng jiē shòu.
Right? So I think the ticket price is still acceptable.
L
行吧,那我们接下来去哪儿?我还不太想回家。
xíng ba, nà wǒ men jiē xià lái qù nǎr? wǒ hái bú tài xiǎng huí jiā.
Fine, so where should we go next? I don't really want to go home yet.
W
前面那条街有家酒吧,要不咱们去喝一杯?
qián miàn nà tiáo jiē yǒu jiā jiǔ bā, yào bù zán men qù hē yì bēi?
There's a bar on the street up ahead—how about we go grab a drink?
L
喝酒有点儿晚了吧,不如去吃点儿夜宵吧。
hē jiǔ yǒu diǎnr wǎn le ba, bù rú qù chī diǎnr yè xiāo ba.
It's a bit late for drinking—why don't we go grab a late-night snack instead?
W
好主意,那咱们去吃烧烤,边吃边聊今晚的演出。
hǎo zhǔ yì, nà zán men qù chī shāo kǎo, biān chī biān liáo jīn wǎn de yǎn chū.
Good idea—let's go for barbecue and chat about tonight's show while we eat.
