Hey I heard a well-known speaker came here to give a speech yesterday. Did you go?

Vicky: 哎。。。我去了。别提了。你什么也没错过。都是一些陈词滥调。没什么意思. (Āi... Wǒ qùle. Biétíle. Nǐ shénme yě méi cuòguò. Dōu shì yīxiē chéncílàndiào. Méishénme yìsi.)

Ah...I went. Don't ask. You didn't miss anything. It was just the usual cliche BS. Totally meaningless.

Lindi: 啊啊OK。跟我猜的一样，所以我才没去。(A a OK. Gēn wǒ cāi de yīyàng, suǒyǐ wǒ cái méi qù. )

Oh OK, that's what I thought so I didn't go.
