很多谢谢你们。

a couple notes..

芄 = Mr. Wan, I couldn't find the right character for it.

红烧 = supposed to be red-cooked chicken, but couldn't find character for "ji"

Basically my goal for this part is to read a dialogue, and summarize it the best I can in character form.

Looking for grammatical help, or just to tell me if my summarization is 不好

[galitonwu]

Mr. Wan maybe is 万先生， and next question is “红烧鸡”

高太太对白先生，芄先生，“来吃饭，反好了。”

高太太对白先生，万先生说：“来吃饭，饭好了。”

她做了便饭，可是百先生想太麻烦了。他也想高太太做了很多菜。高先生对芄他的太太不怎么会做菜，和没甚么好菜。

sorry , I don't understand.

他们吃开始，然后百先生请，“菜都叫甚么？”

他们开始吃饭，白先生问道:“这些菜叫什么名字啊？”

他们有狮子头，炒白菜，红烧，还有炒豆腐。

它们分别叫狮子头，炒白菜，红烧?，还有炒豆腐。Who said this sentence?

he = 他

she= 她

it = 它

芄先生和百先生都想高太太的菜很好，比饭馆的菜都好。

万先生和白先生都觉得高太太的菜做的很好，甚至比饭馆的菜都好。

甚至 = moreover,furthermore

然后他们谈中国饭馆在美国。百先生说在美国的中国饭馆差不多都是广东饭馆，和没有高太太做的这么好吃。

然后他们谈论美国的中国饭馆。白先生说在美国的中国饭馆差不多都是广东饭馆，没有高太太做的这么好吃。

他也谈这个菜里头都有甚么。

他们还谈这些菜里面都有些什么。

高太太请两位再来，下次来她叫美英做。

太太请两位再来做客，下次来的话,她叫美英做。美英 who?

她把汤拿出来以后，就他们真吃饱了。

高太太把汤端了出来.喝完汤,他们觉得吃的很饱了。

然后他们和一点茶，再出走。

然后他们喝了点茶，一起离开了。

Consider the blue ones -

高太太对白先生、万先生說：「来吃饭，饭好了。」她做的是便饭，可是白先生看到她做了很多菜，覺得太麻烦她了。高先生对他們說，他的太太不怎么会做菜，而且也没甚么好菜。然后他们便开始吃饭。白先生問：「这些菜叫甚么名字？」主人回答說，它们是狮子头、炒白菜、红烧鸡，还有炒豆腐。万先生和白先生都觉得高太太的菜做得很好，甚至比饭馆的菜還好。然后他们谈起美国的中国饭馆。白先生说在美国的中国饭馆差不多都是广东饭馆，而且都没有高太太做得这么好吃。他又問到这些菜是用什么做的。高太太请他們两位下次再来，說到時她會叫美英做菜。然后她把汤端出来，喝完了汤他们就真的很饱了。他们再喝了一点茶，然后便离开了。

[xuechengfeng]

[galitonwu]

英文叫甚麼

“么﹐至﹐什﹐端﹖”

what means?

[xuechengfeng]

i'm confused? what did i do wrong?

[Quest]

“么﹐至﹐什﹐端﹖”

In the context of your composition:

什么 －what

么 (me) alone does not mean much....

甚至 = (lit. even more as to)

甚至比饭馆的菜都好

even better than restaurants' food. (lit. even more as to than restaurants' food also good)

至 alone means: to/get to

端 －carry (usually small but heavy object) at around chest level with both hands

然后她把汤端出来

then she [carried with both hands] the soup out.

[xuechengfeng]

thank you.

when i asked what they were b4 sadly i hadn't figured out how to put traditional characters into NJStar, after that though i figured most of them out or looked them up in a character dictionary.

[Quest]

然后她把汤端出来

sov btw

Is that how Japanese and Korean sentences are constructed?

我把门打开。

她将手掌摊开。

你把苹果吃了。

我们到车站走一趟。
