A monologue by a cute panda

Hi, I'm a panda, the ever cutest animal on the earth. I'm called by my Chinese fans, "胖达" (pànɡ dá), "团子" (tuán zi) or "滚滚" (gǔn gun), but I don't like these names. Instead, I prefer to be called "萌萌" (méng meng; cutie). You know I'm the cutest.

嗨，大家好，我是全世界最可爱的大熊猫。我的粉丝喜欢叫我"胖达"、"团子"或者"滚滚"，但是这些名字我都不喜欢，我喜欢你们叫我"萌萌"，因为我是最萌的。

Come on, give me five. Just call me "萌萌" in future.

来，跟我击个掌，以后就叫我"萌萌"了。

I have fan clubs all over the world. Some of the fans have even flown to China to see my climbing show.

我在全世界都有粉丝后援会，有的人还会特地坐飞机过来看我的爬树秀。

Why am I so poplar? I just want to enjoy my bamboo meal and climb the trees, quietly without being disturbed. Go away! You strange panda slaves. 

哎为什么我这么火？我只想安安静静地吃我的竹子爬我的树。走开，你们这些奇怪的熊猫奴。

Some say they like me because of my "baby face", lumpy but cute. Well, they just don't understand the sadness of those with a big face. Nevertheless, when I see myself in the mirror, I can't help complimenting myself, "so cute".

有的人说喜欢我的"娃娃脸"，肉嘟嘟圆鼓鼓的特别萌，哎你们怎么会懂脸大的悲伤。不过有时候看到镜子里的自己，也会忍不住想夸自己一句"真萌啊"。

Some say they like me because of my big eyes. In fact, it's the "smoky eye makeup" that makes my eyes look bigger. Let me show you what I look like after it is "removed", but do promise me that you will still love me. 

有的人说喜欢我的大眼睛，朋友那其实是我的烟熏妆啦。给你们看看我卸妆后的样子，答应我看完了依旧爱我好吗？

Well, still quite cute, isn't it? Despite of the little eyes, I have a big face. 

嗯……还是挺萌的对吧。虽然我的眼睛小了，但是我的脸大呀。

Some say they like my dressing style. Undoubtedly, the classic black-white suit will never get outdated! Moreover, I have the top-quality flocky fur clothing. Many people are eager to have a touch of it. 

有的人说喜欢我的穿衣风格，那是当然了，黑白经典搭配，永不过时！而且我这还是上好的皮草，毛茸茸的，很多人都想摸呢。

Some say they like my temperament. Although I'm of the bear family, I live on bamboo and steamed bread. Usually I eat or sleep all day long, but I also do sports leisurely sometimes. 

也有人说喜欢我的性格，明明是一只熊科动物，竟然以吃竹子和窝窝头为生。整天除了吃就是睡觉了，偶尔做一下运动也是慢悠悠的。 

Well, it is me. So distinctive. I'm not an ordinary bear. I'm your "萌萌".

哼，我就是这么与众不同。我可不是一只一般的熊，我是你们的"萌萌"啊。

I have to stop now. My climbing show will be on soon. See you next time!

哎先不说了，我的爬树秀马上要开始了，下次再见我的朋友们。
