你说李小龙成龙和李连杰谁最能打
nǐ 你shuō 说LǐXiǎolóng 李小龙ChéngLóng 成龙hé 和LǐLiánjié 李连杰shéi 谁zuì 最néng 能dǎ 打
Tell me: of Bruce Li, Jackie Chan or Jet Li, whose kung fu is the greatest?
不是李小龙就是李连杰他们有真功夫成龙就只有点花拳绣腿作秀的成分多一点
bù 不shì 是LǐXiǎolóng 李小龙jiùshì 就是LǐLiánjié 李连杰tā men 他们yǒu 有zhēn gōngfu 真功夫Chénglóng 成龙jiù 就zhǐ 只yǒudiǎn 有点huāquánxiùtuǐ 花拳绣腿zuòxiù 作秀de 的chéngfèn 成分duō 多yīdiǎn 一点
If it's not Bruce Li it's Jackie Chan. They really know kung fu. Jackie Chan's style is showy but impractical. It's more of a performance.
成龙其实也有功夫从小就师从京剧武生而且就是凭着那股能打的劲儿和天不怕地不怕的胆子才闯出来的
Chénglóng 成龙qíshí 其实yě 也yǒu 有gōngfu 功夫cóngxiǎo 从小jiù 就shīcóng 师从jīngjù 京剧wǔshēng 武生érqiě 而且jiùshì 就是píng zhe 凭着nà gǔ 那股néng 能dǎ 打de 的jìnr5 劲儿hé 和tiānbùpàdìbùpà 天不怕地不怕de 的dǎnzi 胆子cái 才chuǎng 闯chūlai 出来de 的
Jackie Chan actually knows kung fu. Since he was young he played a fighter in Peking Opera. And just relying on his enthusiasm for fighting, and the guts to be afraid of nothing at all, he burst onto the scene.
不过中国功夫能扬名天下李小龙的功劳是最大的
bùguò 不过ZhōngGuógōngfū 中国功夫néng 能yángmíng 扬名tiānxià 天下LǐXiǎolóng 李小龙de 的gōngláo 功劳shì 是zuìdà 最大de 的
The biggest part of the credit for Chinese kung fu being world-famous has to go to Bruce Li.
