(In the) time (that is) not long ago, my friend Zhou Jing for me introduced one “zhi” (of) Beijing band, (and they were) called “New Pants”. Zhou Jing has five “zhang” (of) “New Pants” CD, she (-) “ba”{indicating the handling of} (-) this five “zhang” (of) CD (-) all lent to me. I listened to several “ten”s (of) songs (of) theirs, every one “shou” (of song) (-) (I) all very like, so I very want to go see their performance, but (I) for-the-whole-time (did) not have (any) chance, because their tickets (are) difficult-to-buy.
(In) recent times, I finally waited-till this “ge” (of) chance! (The) tickets (that) for-the-whole-time (I) was-not-able-to buy, finally (were) bought-back by me! So last “ge” Saturday night, I invited Zhou Jing together to go see one “chang” (of) “New Pants” band performance. (The) performance was held at Beijing Stadium, (and it at) evening 8 o’clock started. I and Zhou Jing “as early as” afternoon 7 o’clock came-arrived (the) stadium.
(The) tickets (that) I bought were (the ones that are in) “the-most” front, (it) quickly (will) arrive 8 o’clock, people (in the) stadium are more and more, (and) finally, (the) performance started! The first “shou” (of) song is “(Do) You Want To Dance”. “Immediately after” hearing (the) music, me and Zhou Jing (-) “ba”{indicating the handling of} (our) hands raise-upwards (-) additionally (we) jump while loud(ly) shouting “New Pants! New Pants!”
That night, they altogether sang 14 “shou” (of) songs. (At the) time (they) finished-singing the last one “shou” (of) song, I (-) “ba”{indicating the handling of} (my) cellphone (-) from (my) bag took-out, (and) took-“down” one “zhang” (of) picture. Now, this “zhang” (of) picture “exactly” is-in my cellphone-inside, every time (when) I see this “zhang” (of) picture, (it) “exactly” is-like (that I) again returned that “ge” (of) night (when I) watched (the) performance.
