Lesson:80  我 一共 花 了 四十八块六毛钱。

I spent a total of 48.6 Yuan.

今天 下午 没有 课,我 和 朋友 骑 自行车 去 市场 买 了 很多 水果。那个 市场 水果 很 新鲜,价格 也 很 便宜,苹果 五块五 一斤,梨 十块钱 三 斤。我 买 了 四 斤 苹果、六 斤 梨,还 买 了 一 把 香蕉。西瓜 太 大,我 没 买。我 一共 花 了 四十八块六毛钱。我 朋友 买 了 两斤半 葡萄、一斤 草莓,花 了 二十块五毛钱。
There is no class this afternoon. My friend and I went to the market by bike and bought a lot of fruit. The fruit in that market is very fresh and the price is very cheap. The apple is 5.5 Yuan one Jin and the pear is ten yuan three jin. I bought four Jin of apples, six Jin of pears and a handful of bananas. Watermelon is too big, I didn't buy it. I spent a total of 48.6 Yuan. My friend bought 2.5 Jin of grapes and 1 JIn of strawberries, which cost 20.5 Yuan.
那 个 市场 也 有 许多 热带 水果,如 芒果、椰子 等,还 有 不少 进口 的 水果,如 美国 的 橙子、新西兰 的 猕猴桃 等。
There are also many tropical fruits in that market, such as mango, coconut, etc., as well as many imported fruits, such as oranges in the United States, kiwifruit in New Zealand, etc.
我们 从 市场 出来 的 时候,在 市场 大 门口 碰到 了 乔治 和 珍妮,他们 也 来 买 水果。我们 四 个 人 在 市场 大门口 照 了 一 张 相。
When we came out of the market, we met George and Jenny at the market gate. They also came to buy fruit. Four of us took a picture at the gate of the market.
这 张 照片 是 我们 在 中国 买 水果 的 纪念。
This picture is a souvenir of our buying fruit in China.
