Dialogue - Mike cannot find his USB flash disk!

mài kè de yōu pán zhǎo bú dào le!
麦克的U盘找不到了！
Mike cannot find his USB flash disk!

U盘，也叫USB闪存盘，是一种小型的硬盘。在便携式媒体高速发展的今天，U盘很容易丢失或被盗，因此要注意U盘的安全和保管。另外，随着U盘的不断更新换代，年轻人越来越重视U盘的外观。这里要提醒大家的是，在看重U盘外表的同时，也不要忽略U盘的性能和性价比。
A U disk, or USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash drive, is a small type of hard drive. With the rapid development of portable media today, a USB flash disk is easily lost or stolen, so pay close attention to the safety and custody of your USB flash disks. Now, with the continuous upgrading of USB flash disks, young people are paying more attention to the appearance of them. But we'd like to remind you that, while paying attention to the appearance, don't neglect the performance and the price.
