Lesson Thirty One: Article Beijing University Hospital


Renmei Ding and Xueyou Xie came to Beijing University to attend a short-
term Chinese training program.  Three weeks later, Renmei got a serious 
cold.  Teacher Liu was very concerned about Renmei.  He asked Renmei if 
she had seen a doctor or not.  Renmei said, not yet.  Teacher Liu told
Renmei that to see a doctor in China, (people) don't make a phone call to
the doctor('s office) to make an appointment.  They go to the hospital 
directly.  Beijing University has its own hospital.  Therefore, it is 
convenient to see a doctor (in Beijing University).

This day, Xueyou accompanied Renmei to the Beijing University Hospital to
see a doctor.  After they arrived at the hospital,  Xueyou stood in the 
line to register for Renmei.  Since Renmei had a cold, Xueyou registered 
for the Department of Internal Medicine.  They found the Internal Medicine
Outpatient Department.  The nurse was very cordial.  She told Xueyou and 
Renmei that the doctor was seeing a patient, and asked them to wait for a
while.  After the nurse took Renmei's tempareture and blood pressure, the
doctor was ready to see Renmei.  The doctor asked Renmei where she felt 
uncomfortable, and what medicine she had taken.  Renmei told the doctor, 
she had a headache, a runny nose and a sore throat.  She had been coughing
all day long, and could not sleep well at night.  She took some cold pills 
that she brought from the U.S.  However, they seemed not to be very 
effective.  The doctor used the stethoscope to examine Renmei.  Then, he
told Renmei, she had the flu, and she should drink a lot of water, and get
a lot of rest.  He also prescribed some medicine for Renmei.

After seeing the doctor,  Xueyou and Renmei went to the hospital's 
pharmacy to buy medicine.  There were many people buying medicine in the 
pharmacy.  It turned out that in China, all patients buy medicine in the
hospital's pharmacy where they see a doctor.

Renmei went back to her dorm.  She took a good and thorough rest for a few
days, and recovered from her illness.


初级第三十二课: 短文 北大医院


丁人美和谢学友到北京大学参加一个短期中文训练班。 三个星期以後，
人美得了重感冒。 刘老师很关心人美。 他问人美，去看过大夫了没有。
人美说，还没有。 刘老师告诉人美，在中国看病，不是打电话给大夫
约时间，而是直接去医院。北大有自己的医院，所以看病比较方便。 
 
 
这一天，学友陪人美去北大医院看病。 到了北大医院，学友先排队给
人美挂号。因为人美得了感冒，所以学友给她挂了一个内科的号。 他们
一起找到了内科门诊。 护士小姐很热情。 她告诉学友和人美，大夫现
在正在给一个病人看病，请他们等一下儿。 护士小姐给人美量过体温
和血压以後，大夫可以给人美看病了。大夫问人美哪儿不舒服，吃过什
麽药。 人美告诉大夫，她头疼，流鼻涕，嗓子也很疼，一直咳嗽，晚上
睡不好觉。 她吃了从美国带来的感冒药，可是效果不大。大夫用听诊器
给人美做了检查。 然後，他告诉人美，她得的是流行性感冒，要多喝水，
多注意休息。 他还给人美开了一些药。 看过大夫以後，学友和人美到
医院的药房买药。 在药房买药的人很多。 原来，在中国看病，病人都
在医院的药房买药。 人美回到宿舍，好好休息了几天，她的病就好了。

语 法

1. The Aspect Particle "过" Indicating Past Experience

(1.)The aspect particle "过" is used to indicate past experience.  It 
is placed after the verb.  In sentences with two verbal constructions in
a series, "过" is usually placed after the second verb.  The sentence 
patterns for the aspect particle "过" should be:
   S + V + "过" + O
or S + V1 + O1 + V2 + "过" + O

For examples:
1.) 我最近检查过身体。

(2.)The negative and interogative forms of the aspect particle "过"
a. The negative form of the aspect particle "过" is as follows:
   S + (还)没有 + V + "过" + O (呢)
or S + (还)没有 +V1 + O1 + V2 + "过" + O(呢)

For examples:
1.)学友(还)没有在北大医院作过体检(呢)。

physical exam.
2.)王老师的太太(还)没有去美国看过王老师(呢)。

b. The interogative forms of the aspect particle "过" are as follows:
1.)General questions using the question word 吗 at the end of an
affirmative sentence. 
   S + V + "过" + O + 吗？
or S + V1 + O1 + V2 + "过" + O + 吗？

For examples:
1.)你最近在美国作过体检吗？
Have you had a physical exam in the U.S. recently?
2.)小丁去北大医院看过病吗？

2.)Affirmative-negative questions using negation words 没有 at the end of

or S + V1 + O1 + V2 + "过" + O + 没有？

For examples:
1.)你最近检查过身体没有？
Have you had a physical exam in the U.S. recently?
2.)小丁去北大医院看过大夫没有？

(3.) The differences between the aspect particle 过 indicating past 
experience and the aspect particle 了 indicating the completion of an 
action     
a. The aspect particle 过 always indicates an action that took place in 
the past, and is often used to emphasize past experience.  The aspect 
particle 了 indicates the completion of an action, which can happen either
in the past, or in the future. 

For examples:
1.)护士小姐给小丁量过体温。
The nurse has taken the body tempreture for Xiaoding.
(The nurse does not have to take the tempareture again.)
2.)护士小姐给小丁量了体温。
The nurse took the body tempareture for Xiaoding.
(Simply stating the fact that the nurse took the tempareture.)
3.)护士小姐告诉小丁：“看了病你就可以去药房买药。”
The nurse told Xiaoding: "After you see the doctor, you can go to the 
pharmacy and buy medicine."

b. Diffent negation patterns between the aspect particle 过 and the aspect
particle 了

For the aspect particle 过, the pattern should be:
   S + (还)没有 + V + "过" + O (呢)
or S + (还)没有 +V1 + O1 + V2 + "过" + O(呢)
( 过 remains in the negation pattern)

For the aspect particle 了，the pattern should be:
   S + (还)没有 + V + O (呢)
or S + (还)没有 +V1 + O1 + V2 + O(呢)
(了 is left out in the negation pattern)

For examples:
1.)小丁(还)没有吃过中药(呢)。
Xiaoding has never had the exerience of taking Chinese medicine.
2.)小丁(还)没有吃中药(呢)。
Xiaoding has not yet taken her Chinese medicine.
3.)小丁和学友(还)没有去王老师的家看过他的太太和儿子(呢)。

4.)小丁和学友(还)没有去王老师的家看他的太太和儿子(呢)。

his wife and his son.

c. When talking about a past experience, if the speaker would like to 
indicate that the event referred to has already taken place and is 
relevant to the present situation, the modal particle 了 (not the aspect
particle 了) can be added at the end of a sentence that contains 
the aspect particle 过. 

For examples:
1.)小丁看过中国大夫了。
Xiaoding has had the experience of seeing a Chinese doctor.
2.)小丁和学友去北京大学学过中文了。
Xiaoding and Xueyou have had the experience of going to the Beijing 
Univeristy to study Chinese.

2. The Action Measure Words "次"，"遍"，"一下儿"
   When counting the number of times that an action takes place, an 
action measure word is used together with numerals.  The unit of 
numeral + action measure word is usually placed after the verb and 
functions as a complement.  While both "次" and "遍" mark the number of 
times that an action takes place, "遍" is different from "次" in that it 
emphasizes the entire process of an action.  As to "一下儿", it is an 
action measure word that indicates the quickness or short duration of an 
action.  Sometimes, the action measure word "一下儿" also indicates the 
casual manner of an action.

The aspects of the verb can be past aspect or future aspect.  The patterns
are as follows:

a. The past aspect of verb
   S + V + Past Aspect Particle (过,了) + Numeral + Action Measure Word + O

For examples:
1.)去年我作过一次体检。
Last year I had a physical exam once.
2.)护士小姐给小丁检查了一遍身体。 
The nurse did a complete medical check-up (including tempreture, blood pressure, 
weight, height, etc.) for Xiaoding. 
3.)刘老师昨天见了一下儿学友。
Teacher Liu met Xueyou for a little while yesterday.

b. The future aspect of verb
   S + Future Aspect Particle (要，想) + V + Numeral + Action Measure Word + O

1.)王老师的太太想去一次美国。
Teacher Wang's wife would like to go to the U.S. one time.
2.)我要看一遍这本有名的中国小说。 
I would like to read through (from the first page to the last page) this
famous Chinese novel.
3.)刘老师请学友去一下儿他的办公室。
Teacher Liu asked Xueyou to go the his office for a little while. 

3. The Structure "不是...而是..." 
The Structure "不是...而是..." means "not...but/rather".  It is used when
the speaker would like to explain that situation B is different from 
situation A，and situation B is the one that really happens.  The basic 
pattern is:
    不是 + Situation A, 而是 + Situation B

For examples:
1.)在中国看病，不是打电话给大夫约时间，而是直接去医院。
For seeing a doctor in China, (people) do not call the doctor('s office) 
to make an appointment, rather, (people) go to the hospital directly.
