Sato, a Japanese student, goes to a smiling class in Beijing. (S=Sato; T=teacher)
S : Konbanwa, evali-badi! (everybody!) (The whole class laughs.) Ha! Ha! Ha!
T : What on earth is that?
S : Wow! You see. It works. My classmates are so happy they're laughing their heads off.
T : They're laughing at you, Mr. Shatou.
S : No, no, no. My name is Sato, not Shatou. (The class laughs again.) I think they're laughing at you.
T : Whatever! Anyway, try to just say, "Good evening!" in English next time. OK?
S : OK. Gud-e-va-ling! (Good evening!) How's that?
T : I haven't got a clue what you're saying.
S : Thank you. Ha! Ha! Ha!
