Lesson Twenty Five: Dialogue I didn’t expect that you swim so well


  Xueyou:  	Dawei, (I) did not expect that you swim so well.
   Renmei:  	His dad is the swimming coach of the university. “The master of fame will produce excellent 
            	disciple”, which  is not unusual.
   Dawei:   	How come not unusual?! Dad is dad, (and) son is son.
   Xueyou:  	Isn’t your dad a coach?
   Dawei:   	My dad is the coach of the university team, (but) our family coach is my mom. Mom is very strict, 
            	(and her) teaching is also very earnest (she teaches very earnestly), so, the kids in my family are 
            	all skilled swimers.
   Renmei:	Really, Next time when I bump into your mom, (I) will definitely ask her for advice.
   Dawei:	You are a good swimmer (you swim not bad).
   Renmei:	Thank you.
   Xueyou:	She swims too slow.
   Dawei:	Really? I will take a look.
   Renmei:	That’s right. I teach you Chinese, (and) you got to teach me swimming.
   Xueyou:	Dawei, tell you the truth, recently, your Chinese is quite fluent (you speak Chinese fluently).
   Dawei:	“The master of fame will produce excellent disciple”. Renmei is a good teacher (Renmei teaches
         	well).
   Renmei:	Thanks, (and) you are a hard-working students (you study diligently); (you) get up so early 
         	everyday, (and) go to bed so late; all days long if you’re not memorizing the new vocabularies, 
         	(you) are listening to the tapes.  No wonder you are making a great progress ( you progress fast). 
         	Yes, are  you hungry? There is  something to eat here. Look, cheese, ham, bread; whatever you 
         	want, it is here. 
   Dawei	What is this?
   Xueyou:	This is the Chinese dimsum my mom made.
   Dawei:	Dilicious.
   Xueyou:	Have some more, (if) you like it.
   Dawei:	Thanks, I’ve had a lot. I want to have some water.
   Xueyou:	The water is in the car. Can you go and get it? Bring me a bottle of mineral water, OK?
   Dawei:	OK. Where did you park your car ?
   Xueyou:	By the river which is in the front.

Ding was embarrassed. She said: “Sorry. Today the teacher let us out late, 
so I'm... really emarrassed.” 

“It’s alright. See, I don’t lack of things to do here.” 

“You’re very nice. Nice personality, and a very nice swimming coach. 
Yesterday I told Xueyou that a nice coach like you is Bi l tio y” 

“Biltioy? Renmei , what is Biltioy? I don’t understand.” 

“Biltioy is an idiom. The Chinese meaning is ‘There is only one in the 
hundred’”.

“Then, it corresponds to English saying ‘one out of the hundred’. Right?” 

“Exactly.” 

“Me, a swimming coach out of hundred? I’m humbled. I’m humbled.”

语 法

The complement of degree:

( 1 ) Adjective or an adjective phrase as the complement of degree :
An adjective  or an adjective phrase which follows the verb to  express the degree  of the action 
is known as THE COMPLEMENT OF DEGREE. For example:

她唱得好。		She sings well.
他来得真早。		He came really early
他们吃得不多。		They did not eat much.
你睡得早吗？		Do you go to bed early?
她妹妹玩得高兴不高兴？	Did her sister play happily (did her sister have fun playing)?
她写得怎麽样？		How well does she write?


Note that：
1. The verb and adjective or an adjective phrase which function as  the complement 
   of degree must always be joined by the structural particle 得 .
2. The negation is formed by inserting  不 between structural 得  and the adjective 
   complement.
3. To form a simple question, a question particle such 吗, 吧 can be added to the 
   end  of  the statement.
4. An affirmative/negative question is formed in the complement section.
5. To question the complement of degree, the question pronoun 怎麽样   is used.

Summary: 

Subject	  verb	structural negation	Adjective 		  Question 	English translation
		particle		Adj. phrase Ques. Part.	  Particle	
她	   想	得			太多了					She thinks too much.	
我	   说	得	   不		清楚					I did not speak clearly.	
你妈妈	   买	得			多			   吗		Did your Mom buy a lot?	
你弟弟	   学	得			怎么样					How well does your younger brother learn?	




(2) When the verb has both an object and a complement of degree in a sentence, either  the verb 
    should be repeated or the object should be preposed. For example:
1.the verb is repeated:

她游泳游得很快。		She swims very fast.
我开车开得很慢。		I drive very slow.
她吃饭吃得多吗？		Does she eat a lot of rice (does she eat rice a lot)?
你的朋友说汉语说得怎麽样？  	How well does your friend speak Chinese?

Summary:

Subject	Verb	Object	Repeated verb	Structural Particle	The complement of Degree	
你妈妈	作	点心	作		得			非常好	
你	看	书	看		得			快不快	
她	回答	问题	回答		得			怎么样	


2.The object is preposed:

这个问题他回答得很好。	He answered this question perfectly.
他电影看得很多。	He sees a lot of movies (she sees movies a lot).
这件事儿我们谈得很多。	We talked about this matter a lot.

Note that the position of the object can be before or after the subject.

Summary:

Object	Subject	Object	Verb	Structural Particle	Complement of degree	
法文	他		说	得			不错	
	她	酒	喝	得			多不多	
房间	她		整理	得			很乾净	
	他	报告	昨	得			怎么样	




2.The pattern 不是....吗?


The pattern 不是....吗? can be used to expressed emphasis.  This pattern is employed when 
one feels something is not in keeping with what is believed, and wants to express his doubt. 
For example:

他不是你哥哥吗？		Isn’t he your older brother?
床上的那本书不是你的吗？	Isn’t  that book on the bed yours?
你不是认识她吗？		Don’t you recognize her?
你妈妈不是明天来吗？		Won’t your Mom come tomorrow?

Note that in the examples, the emphasized parts are highlighted, which could a noun, a noun phrase, 
a verb or a time word, etc.. No matter what  it is, 不是 must be place right before the emphasized 
element, and  吗 always appears at the end of the sentence. 


3. The pattern 再 V.(一)点儿(O.):

     
The pattern 再 V.(一)点儿(object) means “ do some more (of) something”. For example:
     
请再喝点儿矿泉水。	Please drink some more mineral water. 
我们再看点儿电视吧。	Let’s watch some more TV.
再吃点儿饭，好吗？	Eat some more food, OK?
他们想再听点儿音乐。	They want to listen to some more music.

(一)点儿  in this pattern can be substituted by 几 + measure word. For example:

请再写几个字吧。	Please write a few more words.
我们 再买几张纸吧。	Let’s buy a few more pieces of paper.




    
4. The correlative adverb (要是)...就...:

The correlative adverb (要是)...就...introduces a complex sentence of supposative relation. 
The subordinate clause introduced by 要是  puts forward an assumption, while the main clause 
signified by 就 states the results or inference drawn for the assumption. The English 
equivalent of the correlative adverb (要是)...就...is “if...then”. For example:

要是你想去，我就跟你一起去。		If you want to go, (then) I will go with you.	
要是她喜欢吃，我就买。			If she likes to eat (it), (then) I’d buy (it).
你要是喜欢她，就告诉她吧。		If you like her, then tell her.
你想家，就给爸爸妈妈 打个电话吧。	If you are home-sick, then give Mom and Dad a call.

Note that:
1.In the subordinate clause, the subject can go before or after  要是 . 
But the subject in the main clause can only appear BEFORE 就 .
2.If the subjects in both clauses are the same, then one of them can be omitted.
3.Sometimes, the correlative adverb 要是 in the subordinate clause can be omitted.

  

     
5.  在 + O. as prepositional phrase VS.  在 + O. verb complements:


We are quite familiar with  在 + O.as preposition phrase, which gives setting for main action. 
For example:

他            在图书馆           看    	书。	He reads in the library.
Subj.         Prep.  phr.        V.  	O.

小丁          在家               写    报告。	Ding writes a report at home.
Subj.         Prep. phr.         V.  	O.

From the above examples we can see that information as to where an action takes place is 
provided by the prepositional phrase  在 + O.which appears BEFORE the verb. But we also 
came across the following sentences:

我的车         停            在河边。		My car parks by the river.
Subj.          V.            Complement

他             住            在那间小卧室里。	He lives in that small bedroom.
Subj.          V.            Complement


In these two examples,  在 + O. phrase is places AFTER the verb as a complement, which 
signifies where someone or something  comes to rest as a result of the action. Most of 
the verbs in Chinese such as  学习,工作,锻炼  ,访问 etc. can only take  在 + O.as a 
prepositional phrase, for the actions they expressed are not concerned with a terminal 
point. There are a small number of verbs, such as 住,,坐,站,走,停, etc.,  can have 
在 + O.BEFORE or AFTER the verb without any substantial difference in meaning. But 
that’s not the case with some verbs. 
For example:

他在桌上写。		He writes by the table.
他写在桌上。		He writes onto the table.

你在哪儿录第十六课？	Where (in what place) did you make the recording of Lesson 16?
第十六课，你录在哪儿呢？Where (on which tape) did you record Lesson 16?
