A: 又到午饭时间了。今天吃什么？Yòu dào wǔfàn shíjiān le. Jīntiān chī shénme?
It's lunchtime again. What shall we eat today?
B: 别提了，我每天都在为这个问题发愁。我们部门十几个人，每次问「吃什么」，没人能给出答案。Bié tí le, wǒ měitiān dōu zài wèi zhè ge wèntí fāchóu. Wǒmen bùmén shí jǐ ge rén, měi cì wèn 'chī shénme', méi rén néng gěi chū dá'àn.
Don't even mention it, I worry about this every day. There are over ten people in our department, and every time someone asks "what to eat," no one can give an answer.
A: 我们办公室也一样。大家都说「随便」，但真的随便点个外卖，又有人不满意。Wǒmen bàngōngshì yě yíyàng. Dàjiā dōu shuō 'suíbiàn', dàn zhēn de suíbiàn diǎn ge wàimài, yòu yǒu rén bù mǎnyì.
Our office is the same. Everyone says "anything goes," but if you really just order any takeout, someone ends up unhappy.
