女团

(nǚtuán) 

A: I was watching Youth With You Season 2 recently. I don't feel that it is a competition show, the competitors really suck. 

我最近在看《青春有你2》,感觉更像是个综艺,他们的实力太差了。

(wǒ zuìjìn zàikàn qīnɡchūnyǒunǐèr, ɡǎnjué ɡènɡxiànɡ shìɡè zōnɡyì, tāménde shílì tàichàle.) 

B: I think so too. Compared to the South Korean girl bands, they fall really short. But I do think that there are some competitors that have strong potential, they just lack a professional training team. 

我也觉得,和韩国的女团相比差太多了。其实我觉得里面的一些选手有很好的潜力,只是缺少专业的培训队伍。

(wǒ yějuédé, hé hánɡuóde nǚtuán xiānɡbǐ chà tàiduōle. qíshí wǒjuédé lǐmiànde yīxiē xuǎnshǒu yǒu hěnhǎode qiánlì, zhīshì quēshǎo zhuānyède péixùn duìwǔ.)

A: I agree. Investors aren't philanthropists. Bringing up trainees isn't to help their dreams come true but so the company can make money. This way of making "fast money" will never be able to produce a great girl band. 

同意。资本家都不是慈善家,培养练习生并不是为了帮助他们实行明星梦,而是为了自己赚钱的。他们这种"赚快钱"的模式永远不会培养出优秀的女团。
