Dilu: 他觉得可能是这个女孩子的追求者。追求者。

John: 追求, 1st-2nd, that's a verb meaning 'to pursue'.

Dilu: 没错。第一声和第二声。追求。那追求者就是追求你的人。喜欢你的人。

John: It sounds 'stalkery', is it?

Dilu: 不是。应该是对你有好感。然后你也认识的人。

John: Someone who's pursuing you - a pursuer. But its not that, right?

Dilu: 不是。是一个销售。

John: 销售 - that means 'salesperson'.

Dilu: 是的。第一声和第四声。销售。

John: So its the same word for 'sales' in general as it is for 'salesperson'.

Dilu: 没错。这个动词和名词是一样的。销售的人和销售。 这个动作就是一样。

John: 销售 - 1st tone, 4th tone. Then what does the guy say?

Dilu: 那你不接不就行了?那你不接不就行了?

John: So notice the end - its like this rhetorical question. What have you tacked on the end?

Dilu: 什么什么...不就行了。不就行了。

John: Its kind of like in English when you say 'Why don't you just ...'. 'The solution is so simple - just do this'.

Dilu: 对的。它是一个发问句。[加强]他的语气。就是这么简单。你[只要]这么做就可以了。

John: So first - solution - and then 不就行了.

Dilu: 比如说:你说这个东西这么贵,那别人会说:那你不买,不就行了。

John: Like all the people complaining about the new iPhone being expensive - 'so just don't buy it'.

Dilu: 对。还有人说:啊呀我[zhang pao ??]了。And the guys will probably say: 那你不吃,不就行了。

John: 'Stop eating'. Ok, that's pretty clear. Then what does the girl say?

Dilu: 就算不接,经常打来也很烦的。

John: 'Even if I don't answer, him calling me all the time is still annoying'. How do we say 'even if'?

Dilu: 这里有一个结构,叫:就算...什么什么...也...什么什么。

John: 就算, that's two 4th tones.

Dilu: 对。两个第四声。就算。

John: So: 就算 - some kind of situation - and then 也.

Dilu: 就算不接,经常打来也很烦的。

John: So: 就算 - you do this - 也 - its still that way.

Dilu: 对对对。这个男的又有另外一个suggestion。他说:那你把他的号码加入黑名单。把他的号码加入黑名单。

John: Here we have the 把 pattern. You take something and you do something with it.

Dilu: 没错。

John: He's saying take what?

Dilu: 把他的号码加入黑名单。

John: 'Take his number and add it to a blacklist'.

Dilu: 对。这是一个[典型]的把[字/子]句。把号码加入黑名单。

John: 加入, 1st tone - 4th tone, that means to 'add into', 'to add to'.

Dilu: 是的。

John: And its a little bit formal. Its not a word that you use in everyday conversations. But the reason its a little formal is because that's what the actual cellphone will say in its menu.
