Jenny: 那么在中国我没有很多面包房-bakeries。然后这些面包房，你可以自己选面包。
John: They usually give you a little basket or a little tray.
Jenny: 对。
John: And a little pair of tongs, and you go around carefully selecting yourself without it with your fingers.
Jenny: Or if you're my son, 他 touch.
John: You just stick your face in there and ...
Jenny: Anyway, 所以对话一开设，这个人说：我选好了，我们去结账吧。

John: 选好了. 选 meaning 'choose'.
Jenny: 对。
John: So 选好 is not 'choose well'.
Jenny: 不是。选好［那这］是会［jing?］完成了我的choosing。
John: So 'I'm done choosing'. 'I've decided'.
Jenny: 对的。
John: So they're going to go and do what?
Jenny: 结账。结账。
John: Pay the bill. So that's what tones?
Jenny: 结，第二声。账，第四声。

John: 结账。You can use that in a restaurant too, right?
Jenny: 可以。你可以和服务员说：结账。结账。
John: Instead of 买单.
Jenny: ［对］的。
John: Got it.
Jenny: 好。那对话里呢还有一个人。他说：你等等呀。这里那么多面包，我不知道选哪种好。
John: 'I don't know which one to choose'. But how does she say it. There's a 好 in there.
Jenny: 我不知道选哪种好。
John: Its kind of like: I don't know if I choose which one that it will be good.

Jenny: 对。
John: Its kind of like 'I don't know which one I should choose', but there's no should in there, there's a 好 on the end.
Jenny: 对。其实这个pattern很常用的。当你有很多选择，很多choice的时候，［yu??］经常就是：不知道选哪种好。
John: So you can almost just memorise that sentence.
Jenny: 对。比如有很多男的追你，John选哪个好？
John: [Butch man??].
Jenny: 好。
John: Speaking of 哪种, we hear some of the types of brad in the next line.

Jenny: 对的。有全麦面包和燕麦吐司。
John: 全麦 quite literally is 'whole wheat'.
Jenny: 这个我很喜欢吃。全麦面包。
John: And the tones are ...
Jenny: 全麦, 第二声和第四声。
John: 全麦. So 'whole wheat bread'. And then ...
Jenny: 燕麦吐司。燕麦吐司。都有这个麦啊。

John: But in this case it doesn't match up to English too well. 燕麦, 'swallow wheat', is actually 'oatmeal'.
Jenny: 对。燕麦。Oatmeal.
John: Oatmeal what?
Jenny: 吐司。吐司。
John: 3rd tone, 1st tone. 吐司 is a little bit misleading.
Jenny: 这个词，对，很有意思。
John: It comes from the word 'toast', but the word 'toast' as 吐司 has come to mean 'sliced bread'.
Jenny: 对。所以中文里面你说吐司，还就是着个［fang fang］的。
