一个像是从上海来的人拿出一个特别的手电 (shoudian - flashlight), 上上下下地在那块石头上照着,把石头照得很漂。看了很长时间, 他对胡灯明说: "老人家, 这确实是一块不错的宝石 (baoshi - gemstone)。您愿意卖给我的话, 我可以出三十万。"...

A man who seems to be from Shanghai examined the stone intently, passing over every facet with a special flashlight. After a long while, he turned to Hu Dengming. "Sir, this is indeed an exceptional gem. If you are willing to sell it to me, I can pay 300.000 Yuan".
