中心位

(zhōnɡxīnwèi) 

A: Have you seen the Youth With You Season 2 finale recently? I noticed that after the program aired it took over multiple trending lists on Sina Weibo. 

你最近看《青春有你2》的决赛了吗？ 我看节目播出后霸占了微博的多个热搜。

(nǐ zuìjìn kàn qīnɡchūnyǒunǐèr de juésàilema? wǒkàn jiémù bōchūhòu bàzhànle wēibóde duōɡè rèsōu.) 

B: Of course! I was so happy that the one I liked, Liu Yuxin, got the center position!

当然了！我太开心了,我喜欢的刘雨昕最终拿下了中心位！

(dānɡránle. wǒ tài kāixīnle, wǒxǐhuānde liúyǔxīn zuìzhōnɡ náxiàle zhōnɡxīnwèi.)

A: She really is talented! But at the start, I thought her boyish looks did not suit the girl group member aesthetic.

她确实很优秀啊！不过我一开始以为她比较男孩子气的外表不会太符合成为女团成员的审美。

(tā quèshí hěn yōuxiùa.bùɡuò wǒ yīkāishǐ yǐwéi tābǐjiào nánháizǐqìde wàibiǎo bùhuì tài fúhé chénɡwéi nǚtuánchénɡyuánde shěnměi.)

B: Your thinking is too narrow-minded! I think people shouldn't be bound by certain aesthetic standards. Liu Yuxin's success tells me that you can be who you want! 

你的想法也太狭隘了吧！我觉得大家不应该被一些标准的审美所捆绑。刘雨昕的成名告诉我我可以是我想要的样子！
