    67. 

  67. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Standard. Chinese: A Modular Approach</span><span class="font9"> originated in an interagency-conference held at the Foreign Service Institute in August 1973 to address the need generally felt in the U.S. Government language training community for improving and updating Chinese materials to reflect current usage in Beijing and Taipei.</span></p>
    68. 

  68. <p><span class="font9">The conference resolved to develop materials which were flexible enough in form and content to meet the requirements of a wide range of government agencies and academic institutions.</span></p>
    69. 

  69. <p><span class="font9">A Project Board was established consisting of representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency Language Learning Center, the Defense Language Institute, the State Department’s Foreign Service Institute, the Cryptologic School of the National Security Agency, and the U.S. Office of Education, later joined by the Canadian Forces Foreign Language School. The representatives have included Arthur T. McNeill, John Hopkins, John Boag, and Hugh Clayton (CIA); Colonel John F. Elder III, Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy Gibian, Major Bernard Muller-Thym, and Colonel Roland W. Flemming (DLl); James R. Frith and John B. Ratliff III (FSl); Kazuo Shitama (NSA); Richard T. Thompson and Julia Petrov (OE); and Lieutenant Colonel George Kozoriz (CFFLS).</span></p>
    70. 

  70. <p><span class="font9">The Project Board set up the Chinese Core Curriculum Project in 197^ in space provided at the Foreign Service Institute. Each of the six U.S. and Canadian government agencies provided funds and other assistance.</span></p>
    71. 

  71. <p><span class="font9">Gerard P. Kok was appointed project coordinator, and a planning council was formed consisting of Mr. Kok, Frances Li of the Defense Language Institute, Patricia O’Connor of the University of Texas, Earl M. Rickerson of the Language Learning Center, and James Wrenn of Brown University. In the fall of 1977j Lucille A. Barale was appointed deputy project coordinator. David W. Dellinger of the Language Learning Center and Charles R. Sheehan of the Foreign Service Institute also served on the planning council and contributed material to the project. The planning council drew up the original overall design for the materials and met regularly to review their development.</span></p>
    72. 

  72. <p><span class="font9">Writers for the first half of the materials were John H. T. Harvey, Lucille A. Barale, and Roberta S. Barry, who worked in close cooperation with the planning council and with the Chinese staff of the Foreign Service Institute. Mr. Harvey developed the instructional formats of the comprehension and production self-study materials, and also designed the communication-based classroom activities and wrote the teacher’s guides. Ms. Barale and Ms. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. From 1978 until the project’s completion, writers for the course were Ms. Barale and Thomas E. Madden. They revised the field-test editions of the first six core modules and accompanying optional modules, and produced the materials subsequent to Module 6.</span></p>
    73. 

  73. <p><span class="font9">All Chinese language material was prepared, or selected hy Chuan Ouyang Chao, Yunhui Chao, Ying-chih Chen, Hsiao-Jung Chi, Eva Diao, Jan Hu, and Tsung-mi Li, assisted for part of the time hy Leslie L. H. Chang, Chieh-fang Ou Lee, Ying-ming Chen, and Joseph Yu Hsu Wang. Anna Affholder, Mei-li Chen, and Henry Khuo helped in the preparation of a preliminary corpus of dialogues.</span></p>

The Chinese script was voiced hy Mr. Chang, Ms. Chao, Ms. Chen, Mr. Chen, Ms. Diao, Ms. Hu, Mr. Khuo, and Mr. Li. The English script was read hy Ms. Barale, Ms. Barry, Mr. Basciano, Ms. Ellis, Mr. Madden, Ms. Pola, and Ms. Strype.</span></p>

  177. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">How to Study an Optional-Module Tape</span></p>
    178. 

  178. <p><span class="font9">The format of the optional modules is quite different from the format of the core modules, although both focus on what you need to know to deal with particular practical situations.</span></p>
    179. 

  179. <p><span class="font9">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 words and structures. Actually, however, an optional-module tape is closer to a combination of the C-l and P-1 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.</span></p>
    180. 

  180. <p><span class="font9">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 comprehension in extended dialogues.</span></p>
    181. 

  181. <p><span class="font9">You may have found that you could work through the C-l and P-1 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.</span></p>
    182. 

  182. <p><span class="font9">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 glance 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.</span></p>
    183. 

  183. <p><span class="font9">In the dialogues at the end of each part, there are very short pauses 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.</span></p>

We usually think of a dumpling as a solid lump of leavened dough dropped in soup to cook. A </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">guōtiē</span><span class="font9">, however, is made of thin, unleavened dough, which serves as a wrapper for a filling. This filling may be Chinese cabbage, port, beef, lamb, or any combination thereof.

  281. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Hái yào jige baozi, zēnmeyàng?</span><span class="font9">: The toneless syllable </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">ji-</span><span class="font9">means ’a few’ or ’several’. It may be difficult to distinguish between </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">jige</span><span class="font9">, ’a few', from </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">jige</span><span class="font9">, 'how many' in rapid speech. Usually there will be other clues such as intonation and context to help you distinguish them. This is discussed again in Unit 3 ‘ of the </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Directions</span><span class="font9"> Module.</span></p>

You'll learn more about this in the </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Transportation</span><span class="font9"> Module. The marker </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font9"> for new situation is used here to reinforce the idea of 'excessive'. Whenever a speaker says something is excessive, he is actually saying that it has BECOME excessive.</span></p>

If you are in a city in China, you are probably not far from one. A </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">xiǎochīdiàn</span><span class="font9"> is often run by one or two people. It may be arranged so that the cooking area faces the street, in which case you'll probably walk 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 what is being cooked. Inside you are likely to find small tables without tablecloths, and stools. There is generally no menu, but some of the dishes may be written on a blackboard or on red pieces of paper which are hung on the wall. Since the </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">xiǎochīdiàn</span><span class="font9"> 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.

  375. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhēng jiao</span><span class="font9">: These are crescent-shaped, dumplings filled with cabbage and meat which are steam cooked. The ste</span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">ami</span><span class="font9">ng is done by placing the dumplings in a bamboo basket, which is one layer in a stack of bamboo baskets called a </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhēng long</span><span class="font9">, and then placing the whole stack over a container of boiling water.</span></p>

The word </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">gěi</span><span class="font9"> is the prepositional verb 'for'.</span></p>

    378. 

  378. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">tāng miàn</span><span class="font9">: This is the name for a class of dishes made of noodles and soup. Unlike the Western idea of soup with some noodles, </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">tāng miàn</span><span class="font9"> is basically noodles with some soup added. Because Northern China is a wheat growing area, noodles are a staple in the diet of that region. A bowl of noodles can be used </span><span class="font18">to make </span><span class="font9">a side dish for a large meal, or, with a little soup and meat added, can be a meal in itself. Noodles are commonly made in six-to-ten-foot lengths in China, and are regarded as a symbol of </span><span class="font18">longevity.</span></p>
    379. 

  379. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">chǎo miàn</span><span class="font9">: One of the verbs translated 'to fry' is </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">chǎo</span><span class="font9">. It is also sometimes translated as 'stir fry'. The Chinese language has several verbs meaning 'to fry'. </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Chǎo</span><span class="font9"> means to fry in a little oil, stirring rapidly and constantly, not unlike sautéing.</span></p>
    380. 

  380. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">niúròu miàn</span><span class="font9">: This dish consists of noodles in soup with pieces of beef. The word for 'beef is </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">niúròu</span><span class="font9">, literally 'cow', </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">niú</span><span class="font9">, and 'meat', </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">ròu</span><span class="font9">. In the names of Chinese dishes, the thing the dish is primarily composed of, in this case noodles, is at the end of the phrase. Those words coming before describe the additional foods with which the dish is prepared or the style in which it is prepared.</span></p>
    381. 

  381. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">jiǎozi</span><span class="font9">: A crescent-shaped dumpling, made of white dough and stuffed with a mixture of meat and scallions or mixed vegetables. </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Jiǎozi</span><span class="font9"> may be served steamed, </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhēng jiǎo</span><span class="font9"> or boiled, </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">shuì jiǎo</span><span class="font9">.

    382. 

  382. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">ròusī miàn</span><span class="font9">: This is noodles in soup with shreds of pork and vegetables. Actually, the word </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">ròu</span><span class="font9"> means simply 'meat', not 'pork'. But the basic meat of China has always been pork, and therefore </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">ròu </span><span class="font9">on a menu refers to pork unless otherwise specified.</span></p>
    383. 

  383. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">shénmede</span><span class="font9">: This word, used after a series of nouns, means 'and so on' or 'etcetera'.</span></p>

    489. 

  489. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">chǎo jǐdàn</span><span class="font9">: This is literally translated as ’fried eggs’. Since </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">chǎo</span><span class="font9"> means ’to stir fry’, however, it actually refers to scrambled eggs.</span></p>
    490. 

  490. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">kǎo miànbāo</span><span class="font9">: ’Toast’. This phrase is the verb </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">kǎo</span><span class="font9"> ’to roast’ and the word for ’bread’, </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">miànbāo</span><span class="font9">.</span></p>

The word </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài</span><span class="font9"> is the adverb ’again’. Literally translated, this phrase means something like 'Please again bring...'. This is the standard way to ask someone to bring more of something.</span></p>
    492. 

  492. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">shāobing</span><span class="font9">: This is a baked roll with layers of dough and covered with sesame seeds.

  493. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">liǎnggēn yóutiáo</span><span class="font9">: This is a long, twisted, puffy roll which is deep-fried. It resembles a cruller, but it is not sweet. Literally, the name means ’oil stick’. It is usually eaten at breakfast, along with </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">dòujiāng</span><span class="font9"> and perhaps a </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">shāobing</span><span class="font9">.

The fried apples are then dipped in a hot mixture of sugar-syrup and sesame seeds. The apples are coated much in the same way taffy apples are. These hot sugar-coated apples are then dropped into a bowl of ice water, which hardens the sugar syrup covering into a crisp candy coating. The result is a dessert which combines a number of textures and tastes. The name for this dessert is translated many ways: 'spun taffy apples', 'caramel apple fritters', 'pulled silk apples'. Bananas can also be prepared in this way.</span></p>

  1073. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Dinner in a Szechwan Restaurant</span><span class="font9">; 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 numberous styles of.cooking may be grouped into the following schools: The Northern School (Jīng cài), The Sichuan School (</span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Chuān Cài</span><span class="font9">), The Hunan School (</span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Xiang Cài</span><span class="font9">), The Shànghǎi School (</span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Hù Cài</span><span class="font9">), The Fújiàn School (</span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Mǐn Cài</span><span class="font9">), The~Canton School (</span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Yuè Cài</span><span class="font9">)» each with its own distinct style and famous dishes.

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

    1196. 

  1196. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">kàndedòng</span><span class="font9">: This is a compound verb of result meaning ’can read and understand (it)’. Its negative counterpart is </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">kànbudǒng</span><span class="font9">, ’can’t read and understand (it)’. See </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Meeting Module</span><span class="font9">. Reference Notes for Unit 1 for a discussion of compound verbs of result.</span></p>
    1197. 

  1197. <p><span class="font9">Tā xiěde zì, wǒ kànbudǒng. I can’t read (understand) his writing.</span></p>
    1198. 

  1198. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Huánghuā Yu</span><span class="font9">: The </span><span class="font9" style="font-style:italic;">Sei-aena SchetegeVi</span><span class="font9"> is translated here as -'yellow fish’. It is sometimes referred to in Chinese as </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">huáng yu</span><span class="font9">. In English, it is also called croaker, drum fish, or China Bass. Since the </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">huánghuā yu</span><span class="font9"> is a fish native to China, any American fish name given to it, such as croaker, is at best only a rough equivalent.</span></p>
    1199. 

  1199. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Hongshāo Yu</span><span class="font9">: The ’red-cooked’ style of cooking involves stewing the meat, or in this case, the fish, in soy sauce, sherry and water. It is called ’red-cooked’ because of the reddish-brown color the soy sauce gives the dish.</span></p>
    1200. 

  1200. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Cōngbào Niúròu</span><span class="font9">: Beef with Spring Onions. Literally, this means ’spring onions-fried beef*. </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Bao</span><span class="font9"> is another method of cooking. It is similar to </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">chao</span><span class="font9"> ’sauté’, but uses less oil and higher heat.</span></p>
    1201. 

  1201. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Zhàcài Ròusi Tāng</span><span class="font9">: Although translated here as ’Szechwan Hot Pickled Cabbage , </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">zhàcài</span><span class="font9"> is properly made from mustard green roots preserved with salt and hot pepper. It can be used to flavor foods or it can be eaten by itself.</span></p>
    1202. 

  1202. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">mǐf àn</span><span class="font9">: This word refers to cooked rice. It can also refer to rice dishes, such as </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">chǎo fàn</span><span class="font9">.</span></p>
    1203. 

  1203. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">huājuār</span><span class="font9">: Flower-rolls are made of steamed bread, which has been shaped into layers resembling petals.</span></p>
    1204. 

  1204. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">suan yíxià zhang</span><span class="font9">: The verb </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">suan</span><span class="font9"> means ’to figure, to calculate’. </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Suan zhang</span><span class="font9"> means ’to figure accounts’, ’to calculate the bill’. Here the word </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">yíxià</span><span class="font9"> follows the verb. The use of </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">yíxià </span><span class="font9">after a verb has an effect similar to reduplicating the verb, that is it makes the action more casual.</span></p>
    1205. 

  1205. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">zài hēibǎnshang xiězhe ne</span><span class="font9">: </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">-Zhe</span><span class="font9"> is the marker of DURATION of actions and states. It indicates that an action or state lasted for an amount of time. The marker </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">ne</span><span class="font9">, on the other hand, marks ONGOING (and therefore present) actions or states. In this expression the marker </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">-zhe</span><span class="font9"> tells us that at some time the dishes CONTINUE</span></p>
    1206. 

  1206. <p><span class="font9">in the state of being written on the blackboard, and the marker </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">ne </span><span class="font9">tells us that that state is GOING ON now. </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">-Zhe</span><span class="font9"> 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 </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">-zhe</span><span class="font9"> in Chinese often corresponds to the ’-ing’ form of the verb in English.</span></p>

    1221. 

  1221. <p><span class="font9">the second verb of the compound expresses the specific result of the action, but here the verb </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">lai</span><span class="font9"> expresses only the general idea of result.

The host sits nearest the door, on the serving side of the table.</span></p>
    1833. 

  1833. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Bié jǐn gěi wo jiǎn cài</span><span class="font9">: This expression is often used at dinner parties. It is good hospitality for the host or hostess to serve the guests individually from time to time, picking out tender morsels for them. Fellow guests may also do this for the guest of honor.</span></p>
    1834. 

  1834. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">gān yìbēi</span><span class="font9">: ’Drink a glass’, literally ’dry a glass’ (meaning ’to make the glass dry by emptying it). Since wine cups are small, the usual toast is </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Gān bēi</span><span class="font9">!, ’Bottoms up!’ For people who don’t like to drink too much, the phrase </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Suíyì</span><span class="font9">, ’As you like’, will serve as a reply indicating that the whole cup need not be emptied. See the note on </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">suíyì</span><span class="font9"> below.</span></p>
    1835. 

  1835. <p><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">Zuì Ji</span><span class="font9">: ’Drunken Chicken’. The name of this dish comes from the way in which it is prepared. The verb </span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">zuì</span><span class="font9"> 'to get drunk’, refers to the fact that the chicken is marinated in wine at least over-night. This dish originates with the Shanghai school of cooking. It is served cold.</span></p>

    1888. 

  1888. <p><span class="font9">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 (</span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">gāoliang jiǔ</span><span class="font9">), a milder rice wine (</span><span class="font9" style="text-decoration:underline;">huáng jiǔ</span><span class="font9">), or beer may be served. Guests usually drink only when toasting. If you’d like to take a drink of something you either propose a toast or catch someon’s eye and silently toast each other.</span></p>
