How can you buy movie tickets in China?
.
昨天我终于去电影院看电影了。
Zuótiān wǒ zhōngyú qù diànyǐngyuàn kàn diànyǐng le.
Yesterday I finally went to watch a movie in the theater.
.
你们常常在哪里买电影票呢？
Nǐmen chángcháng zài nǎlǐ mǎi diànyǐng piào ne？
Where do you often buy movie tickets?
.
我喜欢在Apps上买票，
Wǒ xǐhuan zài Apps shàng mǎi piào,
I like to buy tickets on Apps.
.
你不仅可以提前选好自己喜欢的座位，
bùjǐn kěyǐ tíqián xuǎn hǎo zìjǐ xǐhuan de zuòwèi,
not only can you choose the seats you like in advance,
.
而且会比在电影院买的更便宜。
érqiě huì bǐ zài diànyǐngyuàn mǎi de gèng piányi.
also the tickets are cheaper online than they are in the theater.
.
买了票以后，
Mǎi le piào yǐhòu,
After buying the ticket,
.
你可以用电影院里的这台机器扫描你的验证码，
nǐ kěyǐ yòng diànyǐngyuàn lǐ de zhè tái jīqì sǎomiáo nǐ de yànzhèng mǎ,
you can use this machine in the theater to scan your code,
.
然后就可以取票了。
ránhòu jiù kěyǐ qǔ piào le.
and then pick up your ticket.
.
不过现在去电影院看电影，
Búguò xiànzài qù diànyǐngyuàn kàn diànyǐng,
But watching the movies in the theater now，
.
会和以前不一样。
huì hé yǐqián bù yíyàng.
isn’t the same as before.
.
比如说，
Bǐrú shuō,
For example,
.
进门前需要测体温，
jìn mén qián xūyào cè tǐwēn,
before you enter, your temperature is taken,
.
还要登记好自己的个人信息，
hái yào dēngjì hǎo zìjǐ de gèrén xìnxī,
then you have to register your personal info,
.
并且观影的时候必须戴着口罩。
bìngqiě guān yǐng de shíhou bìxū dài zhe kǒuzhào.
in addition, you must wear a mask during the entire movie.
.
但是对我来说，
Dànshì duì wǒ láishuō,
But in my opinion,
.
这些都不是问题。
zhèxiē dōu bú shì wèntí.
these are not a problem.
.
因为可以坐在电影院看电影，
Yīnwèi kěyǐ zuò zài diànyǐngyuàn kàn diànyǐng,
Because being able to sit in a theater and watch a movie
.
就已经是一件很开心的事了。
jiù yǐjīng shì yí jiàn hěn kāixīn de shì le.
is already a fun thing.
.
我的电影开始了！
Wǒ de diànyǐng kāishǐ le！
My movie has started！
.
我们有空再聊吧！
Wǒmen yǒu kòng zài liáo ba！
Let’s chat when we are free！
.
大家，byebye！
Dàjiā，byebye！
Bye bye y’all！
