<p>Each tape of an optional module is roughly equivalent to the five different tapes of a core-module unit, in the sense, at least， that it is intended as a self-contained presentation of a set of vords and structures • Actually, however, an optional-module tape is closer to a combination of the C-l and P-l tapes of a core-module unit with almost all explanations left in the notes• Moreover, an optional-module tape introduces considerably more vocabulary than a core-module unit.</p>
<p>Each tape is divided into several parts. Each part introduces words and sentences, some of them for comprehension only, next reviews all production items, and then reviews conqprehension in extended dialogues•</p>
<p>You may have found that you could work through the C-l and P-l tapes of a core-module unit a single time each, perhaps going back over a few sections once or twice* You are almost sure to find, however, that you need to work through an optional-module tape more than once, perhaps frequently backing up and frequently stopping to read the Notes.</p>
<p>When a new word or sentence is introduced» there is a 'pause on the tape before you hear the Chinese. On your first time through the tape, you may use this pause to gīance at the word or sentence in the Reference List. On your next time through the tape, you may use it to try to say the Chinese» using the Chinese after the pause as a confirmation.</p>
<p>In the dialogues at the end of each part, there are very short pauses &quot;between sentences. These should be Just long enough for you to stop and start the tape without missing anything. Stop the tape whenever you want to think over the previous sentence or try to translate it*</p>

<p>NOTES ON PABT I</p>
<p>chi: 'to eat<sup>1</sup>• The verb <sup>?</sup>to eat* is often expressed using a general object compound, chi fiba, instead of the simple verb chi,</p>
<p>Nl chi fān le ma? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Have you eaten?</p>
<p>WS h&amp;i měi chi fan. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I haven<sup>?</sup>t eaten yet.</p>

<p>Min ba« &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;like.</p>
<p>guōtiē: This has been translated here as <sup>1</sup>fried dumpling*, but actually a guōtiē differs from a dumpling in several respects. We usually think of a dumpling as a solid lump of leavened dough dropped in soup to cook. A guōtiē, however, is made of thin, uzxleavened dough, which serves as a wrapper for a filling. This filling may 'be Chinese cabbage<sub>f</sub> port, beef, leunb, or any combination, thereof. Secondly, a guōtiē is not dropped in soup, but is steamed and fried, so that the bottom is crisp and the top is soft.</p>
<p>bāozi: This is a round of steamed bread filled with salty stuffing (cabbage* pork, beef, shrimp, etc.) or sveet stuffing (red bean puree, valnuts, almonds, etc.)• The steamed bread is made from a raised dough and forms a thick bun, somewhat similar in concept to a hamburger.</p>
<p>suan li tang; A thick spicy soup made of pork, white bean curd, &quot;red bean curd<sup>11</sup> (actually dried chicken or pork blood), dried tiger lily flovers, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and egg.</p>

<p>NOTES ON THE DIALOGUE</p>
<p>xlSochldiiLn: This is a small place where you can grab something to eat. (Xl&amp;ochI means 'snack*.) If you are in a city in China, you are probably not far from one. A xi&amp;ochldl&amp;n is often run t&gt;y one or two people. It may be arranged so that the cooking area faces the street, in which case you'll probably valk through the kitchen as you head for a table• Putting the kitchen at the front, facing the street» makes for better ventilation and allows people on the street to see and smell vhat is being cooked. Inside you are likely to find small tables without tablecloths» and stools• There is generally no menu, some of the dishes may be written on a blackboard or on,red pieces of paper vhich are hung on the vail. Since the xiSochldi^n is often a small operation, it may only offer a few things or It may specialize in serving one type of food, such as noodles or dumplings. The vord xlSo in xl8ochidiān<sub>a</sub> refers not to the size of the establishment<sub>9</sub> but to the types of food offered.</p>
<p>Tāmen d5u y5u shgpme?: The word d5u in this sentence refers to the object» not the subject. In other words, the sentence Is translated as 'What all do they have?, in this context• In another conversation the same sentence ml典 t mean 'What do they all have?'</p>
<p>This type of question with d5u expects an ansver vith more than one item mentioned. The d5u may be thought to refer to the object in the answer•</p>

<p>tang mlln: This is the name for a class of dishes made of noodles and soup* Unlike the Western idea of soup with some noodles <sub>y</sub> tang mlctn is basically noodles vith some soup added.</p>
<p>Because Northern China is a vheat growing area» noodles are a staple in the diet of that region. A *bovl of noodles can be used to make a side dish for a large meal, or, vith a little soup and meat added<sub>y</sub> can be a meal in Itself. Noodles are coamonly made In Bix_to_ten_foot lengths In China <sub>9</sub> and are regarded &amp;8 a synfbol of longevity.</p>

<p>NOTES ON THE DIALOGUE</p>
<p>Dinner in a Szechvan Restaurant; China has a rich and varied tradition of cooking, due to the size of the country, the many different foods available, and the long history of. its culture. The nuniberoiis styles of cooking may be grouped into the following schools: The Northern School (JIng cili), The Sichuan School (Chuan CaLi) * The Hun£n School (Xiang Cili), The Shanghai School (HvL C&amp;i)7~ The F{ijian School (Min Cfii), The Canton School (Yu各 Cili) &gt;&nbsp;each vith its own distinct style ana famous dishes. It Is common to find restaurants representing most of these schools of cooking in many cities in China.</p>

The reason for this is that, unless toasts are being drunk, the Chinese do not drink beverages along with their meal. The soup, vhich is served at the end of the meal, is the main liquid of the meal.</p>

<p>NOTES ON PART I</p>
<p>kandedong: This is a compound verb of result meaning <sup>f</sup>can read and understand (It)<sup>1</sup>. Its negative counterpart is klnbudSng, han’t read and understand (it)<sup>1</sup>. See Meeting Module• Reference Notes for Unit 1 for a discussion of compound verbs of result.</p>
<p>Ta xlěde zi， vo kanbudSng. I can<sup>f</sup>t read (understand)</p>
<p>his writing.</p>
<p>HvULnghua Yň: The Seiaena Sohelegeli is translated here as ,yellow fish<sup>1</sup>. It is sometimes referred to in Chinese as hu£ng yu. In English, it is also called croaker, dnan fish, or China Bass. Since the hiaĀnghua yd is a fish native to China, any American fish name given to it, such as croaker, is at &quot;best only a rough equivalent.</p>
<p>H$ng3hao Y&lt;i: The <sup>f</sup>red-cooked* style of cooking involves steving the meat, or in this case, the fish<sub>9</sub> in soy sauce, sherry and water. It is called <sup>1</sup>red-cooked* because of the reddish^rown color the spy sauce gives the dish.</p>
<p>Cōngbao NitirSu: Beef with Spring Onions. Literally, this means <sup>1</sup> spring onions-ftried beef<sup>1</sup>. Bao is another method of cooking. It is similar to chao *sautě<sup>f</sup> <sub>9</sub> but uses less oil and highet heat.</p>
<p>ZhllcSi r5usī Tfog: Although translated here as * Szechvan Hot Pickled Cabbage • zh^ckl Is properly made from snuBtard green roots preserved with salt and hot pepper. It can be used to flavor foods or it can be eaten by itself.</p>
<p>mlfan: This word refers to cooked rice* It can also refer to rice dishes, such as chao f^n.</p>
<p>huǎJuSr: Flower-rolls are made of steamed bread, vhich 1)&amp;8 been shaped into layers resembling petals.</p>
<p>8u£n ylxiS zhSng: The verb su&amp;n means 'to figure, to calculate <sup>9</sup>. Suan zhang means ,to figure accounts*, *to calculate the bill<sup>1</sup>. Here the vord ytxi&amp; follows the verb. The use of ylxlā after a verb has an effect similar to reduplicating the verb, that is it makes the action more casual.</p>
<p>zkl helbSnshang xiSzhe ne: *Zhe is the marker of DURATION of actions and states. It indicates that an action or state lasted for an amount of time. The marker ne, on the other hand, marks ONGOING (and therefore present) actions or states. In this expression the marker -zhe tells us that at some time the dishes CONTINUE</p>
<p>in the state of being written on the blackboard, and the marker ne tells us that that state is GOING ON now. -Zhe is used in sentences to describe activities which last over a period of time, whether that time is past, present or future. A verb plus »zhe in Chinese often corresponds to the ^ing<sup>1</sup> form of the vert in English.</p>
<p>ZSuzhe qxi kěyi ma? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you get there by walking?</p>
<p>W5men zudzhe shu5 hua. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let<sup>1</sup>s sit awhile and talk,</p>

<p>Tā h£i bingzhe ne. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He is still sick.</p>
<p>g5ngn6ngbfng： This expression is a conglomeration of the vords for worker, g5ngren&gt; <sup>f</sup> farmer<sup>1</sup>, noncain• and •soldier<sup>1</sup>, blnR. Notice that the first syllable (or only syllable) of each is used to make this abbreviated form.</p>
<p>chidelll: This is a compound verb of result vith the syllable -de- inserted between the action verb and the ending verb. This</p>
<p>pattern is .used to express the meaning <sup>!</sup>able to _<sup>1</sup> _ Usually</p>
<p>the second verb of the compound expresses the specific result of the action, but here the verb l£i expresses only the general idea of result. (The verb iti in this position has &quot;been called a ’dunmiy result ending<sup>9</sup>.边 can also be used this way.) Although no specific result is expressed here, the pattern is still used because it expresses the idea of ^can<sup>1</sup> or <sup>!</sup>able to、</p>

<p>NOTES AFTER DIALOGUE IN PART I</p>
<p>Notice that in this situation the cafeteria attendant does not let the foreigners stand in line for their food. Instead he waits on them getting them special food vhen possible. The Chinese feel that foreigners are their guests and should be treated accordingly.</p>
<p>W5 bu dōu kandedSng: Notice that the American voman chooses a rather indirect way of letting the Chinese attendant know that she cannot read. In the lines following, the attendant ansvers back simply suggesting some of the more tasty dishes, a courteous and face-saving response.</p>
<p>Hut yong% keshi ySngde bfi tai hSo: This is another courteous response. Here the American lets it be known that they can handle chopsticks, &quot;but does so modestly.</p>

<p>NOTES ON PART II</p>
<p>ySunilng: <sup>!</sup>To be famous<sup>f</sup>, literally, <sup>f</sup>to have a name<sup>1</sup>, is alvays negated with měi,</p>
<p>Kao YCngrSu: This is Mongolian Barbecued Lamb. It is thin slices of leunb dipped in a sauce of soy sauce， scallions, Chinese parsley, sugar, and sherry, and other condiments you can mix to your own taste, then grilled quickly over high heat. This meal is prepared at specialty restaurants which usually serve little else.</p>
<p>Shuan Yangrou: This meal requires that a pot with a source of heat beneath it (huSguō, literally <sup>1</sup> fire pot<sup>1</sup>) be placed in the middle of the table. Usually the pot is shaped in a ring with a chimney containing the heat source in the center. Each guest cooks his meat and vegetables in the boiling water of the fire pot, often with four or five people simultaneously keeping track of their food as it is cooking. After his meat is cooked he then dips it into various sauces and eats it. By the end of the meal, the water in the pot has become a highly flavored soup. FěnsI (see below) and vegetables are then dropped into it, and it is eaten.</p>
<p>chule«•*ylvai: This pattern is used to express the idea 'except for-•.<sup>1</sup>, ’besides…<sup>1</sup>, or <sup>f</sup>aside from...<sup>1</sup>. The second part, ylvai&gt; is sometimes omitted.</p>
<p>Wo chtile mai yiběn shū, h£i In addition to buying one yko znǎi yiběn zazhi. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lx&gt;ok, I also vant to buy</p>
<p>one magazine.</p>
<p>fensī: These are called <sup>1</sup>cellophane noodles<sup>1</sup> because their appearance is clear and glass-like. They are made from pea^starch and are s咖etimes called pea-starch noodles.</p>
<p>zuSliSo: This refers to various sauces used to dip the<sup>1</sup>lamb in, and therefore translates as *condiment'. In other contexts, zuňli&amp;o can mean <sup>f</sup>ingredient*•</p>
<p>shuōde v8 dōu ě le: Here you see a verb, shuo, the syllable de, and the result of The action of talking (^S dou ě le.) A literal translation of the expression might &quot;be <sup>9</sup>Talk to (the point that) I'm already hungry. * The marker de carries the meaning <sup>f</sup>to the point of、*to the extent that*&quot;Tn this es^ession.</p>
<p>xiang cil: A coarse, leafy, strong tasting type of parsley.</p>

See the note on sufyi below.</p>
<p>Zui Ji: <sup>f</sup> Drunken Chicken<sup>1</sup>. l?he name of this dish comes from the way in vhich it is prepared.

It is served cold.</p>

<p>NOTES FOLLOWING PART II DIALOGUE</p>
<p>Most of the entertaining at a Chinese dinner party takes place at the dinner table, although there is some tea drinking and chatting both before and after the meal in other rooms. The dinner is served at a leisurely pace so that each dish may be savored and talked about. A good dish is appreciated for its appearance as much as its taste, texture and aroma. As each dish is eaten, toasts will be made* The host will start off *by toasting the guest of honor and then other guests as a group. As the evening progresses he will toast each guest in turn and each guest will probably propose a toast of his own in honor of the host. A strongly flavored liquor (gaollang &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a milder rice wine (huSng</p>
<p>Jiu) • or beer may *be served. Guests usually drink only vhen toasting. If you<sup>f</sup>d like to take a drink of something you either propose a toast or catch someon's eye and silently toast each other.</p>
