Lesson Twenty Six: Article Why do you study Chinese?

(Ten Minutes Later)

   David:  What are you going to do in the lab?
   Ding:   I want to prepare the new lesson we are going to have tomorrow.
   David:  I’m going there too. I still don’t know the vocabulary for tomorrow’s ( class ). By 	
           The way, Ding, can I ask you a question?
   Ding:   What question?
   David:  Why do you want to study Chinese? Isn’t it because of the reason that Xueyou is a 
           Chinese American?
   Ding:   It is not just that (But not that alone). Tell you the truth, Since young, I has been 
           interested in Chinese history and culture. Every time, when I went to library with 
           my Mom, I always looked for the books and pictorials which are related to China.
           Now I am attending college, (and) isn’t it natural for me to take Chinese classes 
           and study the language? 
   David:  So, what (kind of ) work do you want to do in the future?  Be an interpreter or a
           teacher?
   Ding:   I don’t know that yet. It is very interesting to be an interpreter. ( It ) will deepen 
           the understanding of the people in two countries. It is also not bad to be a teacher.
          “Teaching by example”, which is very meaningful.(So), being an interpreter or a
           teacher are the same (make no difference ).
   David:  Then, you have to enter the graduate school.
   Ding:   That’s for sure. I’m now busy with preparing my GRE.
   David:  What field are you going to be in?
   Ding:   Either History or Anthropology. I like to study Chinese history , and I 
           also like to study Chinese culture.
   David:  Do you like Chinese literature?
   Ding:   I’m very interested in Chinese literature. I enjoy reading the quite a books written by the famous 
           contemporary writers from China and Taiwan. But, I don’t want to 
           study Chinese literature, for I’m more interested in Chinese history and culture. 
           How about you, David? Why do you study Chinese?
   David:  My learning Chinese is serendipitous. Foreign language is composure at college. 
           I was not interested in European languages, therefore, I chose Chinese. Now, the 
           More I learn, the more interested I become, and the more I learn the more I enjoy
           it.
   Ding:   Also (at the same time), the more Chinese you speak the more fluent you are.
   David:  Thank you. But, to tell the truth, it is not easy for an American to study Chinese.
   Ding:   “There is a will there is a way.
   David:  You are right.



初级第二十六课: 短文 你为什麽要学中文


(十分钟以後)
   大为 ： 你去实验室作什麽？ 
   小丁 ： 我想预习一下明天要上的新课。 
   大为 ： 我也去那儿。明天的生词我还不会。对了，小丁我问你一个问题，好吗？ 
   小丁 ： 什麽问题？ 
   大为 ： 你为什麽要学中文呢？是不是因为学友是华裔的缘故？ 
   小丁 ： 是也不是。说实在的 ，我从小对中国的历史，文化就有兴趣。每次 
           跟妈妈去图书馆，我总是找跟中国有关的书和画报。现在我上大学，选 
           中文课，学汉语，不是很自然吗？
   大为 ： 那麽，以後你想作什麽工作呢？当翻译还是当老师？ 
   小丁 ： 我还不知道呢。当翻译很有意思，可以加深两国人民的了解。当老师 
           也不错，"为人师表"也很有意义。当老师或者当翻译都一样。 
   大为 ： 那你一定得上研究院了。 
   小丁 ： 那当然。我现在忙着准备研究生的考试呢。 
   大为 ： 你想选什麽专业呢？ 
   小丁 ： 不是历史学就是人类学。我喜欢研究中国历史，我也喜欢研究中国文化。 
   大为 ： 你喜欢中国文学吗？ 
   小丁 ： 我对现代中国文学很有兴趣。几个有名的中国和台湾现代作家写的书 
           我都爱看。可是，我不想研究中国文学，因为我对中国历史和文化更 
           有兴趣。你呢？ 大为， 你为什麽要学中文呢？ 
   大为 ： 我学中文很偶然。上大学，外语是必修课。我对欧洲语言没有兴趣， 
           所以就学中文。现在我越学越有兴趣，越学越爱学。 
   小丁 ： 同时，你的中文越说越流利。 
   大为 ： 哪里。不过，说实在，美国人学中文真不容易。 
   小丁 ： "有志者事竟成"嘛。 
   大为 ： 你说得很对。

语 法

1.Common auxiliary verbs and their usage:

Verbs which assist the main verb in a sentence to express necessity, possibility and willingness are known as 
AUXILLARY VERBS. The six most commonly used auxiliary verbs, their meanings, their negative verbs and examples 
of their usage are listed below:

Aux. verb	Meaning										Neg. form		Examples	
会		1.Express the grasp skill through learning 	2. Express possibility			不会			我会说汉语。 I can (learn how to) speak Chinese. 她不会游泳。 She can’t (don’t know how to) swim. ------- 王老师会来吗？ Can Teacher Wang come? 她很忙，不会来。She is busy. (She) can’t come.	
能		1.Express capability 				2.Possibility provided by circumstances	不能			他能教你跳舞。 He can teach you dance. 她能不能开车？ Can she drive? -------- 大夫说他能吃鱼 。 Doctor says he can eat fish.	
想		1.Express a desire to do something  		2.Express an actual need		不想,不用		我想上研究院。 I want to attend graduate school. 我不想学吸烟。 I don’t want to learn smoking. -------- 你要去看你妈妈。You need to do and visit your Mom. 你不用给我打电话。 You don’t need to call me.	
可以		1.Express the ability  				2.Express permission 			不可以			学中文可以了解中国。 Learning Chinese can understand China.  ------- 这儿不可以喝酒。 Drinking is not allowed here. 	
应该		Ought to										不应该			你应该去中国看看。 You ought to visit China.  他不应该看那本书。 He should not read that book.	
愿意		To be willing to									不愿意			他愿意跟你去纽约。 He is willing to go to NY with you.	
				


2.或者  vs.   还是:
Both conjunctions means “or” in English. But,  还是 is mainly used in an alternative question 
or in a subordinate clause following such verbs as 知道, 告诉  .  For example:

明天她还是你去看爸爸？		Tomorrow will she or you  go to see Dad?
你想喝茶还是喝咖啡？		Do you want to drink tea or coffee?		
我不知道她是中国人还是日本人。	I don’t know weather she is Chinese or Japanese.

或者 is used in declarative sentences or in questions except alternative questions. For example:

以後你想当翻译或者老师吗？	In the future will you want to work as an 
				interpreter or a teacher?

小王或者小张明天开车来接你。	Tomorrow Wang or Zhang will come and pick 
				you up.


3. The pattern 越...越....:
This is a construction for describing progression in one process that is related to another process. 
It’s English equivalent is “the more...the more...”. For example:

我越学中文越爱学。		The more I learn Chinese, the better I like it.
他越走越快。			The more he walked, the faster he got. 
				(He walked faster and faster)
认识的字越多越好。		The more characters one knows, the better.

Note that after the appearances of 越, we can use both adjectives : 越多越好; a verb and an adjective: 越走越快 ,
or both verbs where the second verb stands for a feeling or emotion: 越学中文越爱学.
      
Summary of the pattern:

Subject       越         Verb/adjective 越        Verb/adjective.
