 (At the Airport)

  Xueyou: Ding, look, David and Shihai are also here.
  Ding:   David, Shihai, (you are) so busy. How come you guys have time to come?
  David:  You are leaving for China soon. (You) will be gone for a year. It won’t 
          be nice (if) we don’t come to say good-bye.
  Ding:   Thank you.
  Shihai: Ding, the plane is going to take off. You are leaving for China. 
          How do you feel?
  Ding:   I feel both excited and sad.
  David:  (Being) excited, I can understand, but, what are you sad about?
  Ding:   We are about to part. I really don’t want to leave you guys.
  David:  Don’t be sad. Next year we will go to China, too.
  Xueyou: When do you plan to go to China? We will definitely go and pick you up 
          at the airport.
  David:  I will go either next summer or autumn. Shihai has not made up his mind yet.
  Ding:   Shihai, why?
  Shihai: This summer I have an opportunity to intern at the World Bank. I want to 
          go to China, and I also want to intern in DC. That’s why I can’t make 
          up my mind.
  Ding:   Write to tell us when you make the decision. OK?
  Shihai: OK.
  David:  The plane is about to take off. Get ready for the boarding.
  Shihai: Xueyou, Ding, wish you healthy and study well! Bon voyage!

Lesson Twenty Nine: Article On the Airplane

Xueyou and Ding was on board an Air China plane from New York to Beijing. 
The plane was quite crowded (the people on board were many). (Among them) 
there were people of different colors. All of them went to China. A few 
well-dressed young women were serving the passengers tea and water. 
(They) were cordials, and very attentive. They were stewards, and they 
spoke both Chinese and English. Xueyou and Ding told the stewards that 
they were American students going to China to study, and asked the 
stewards to speak Chinese with them. The stewards’ Mandarin were very 
good. Listening to their speaking Chinese, Xueyou and Ding had no problem 
at all (comprehending). (And) the stewards understood all Xueyou and Ding 
said in Chinese. The stewards asked Xueyou and Dong for how many years 
they had learned Chinese, (and) how they had made such a good progress. 
Ding said: “We have been learning Chinese for almost two years. I liked 
Chinese culture even when I was little. When I attended college, I had 
a chance to learn Chinese. I was very happy. So (I) was very serious 
about the study, and also worked very hard. In addition, we had some 
good teachers. (They) worked earnestly, and taught effectively. That’s 
why, all of us made tremendous progress.”

New York was far away from Beijing. It took twenty hours by air. During 
the trip (on the plane), Xueyou and Ding saw two Chinese movies: one 
feature film and one animated film. Both were very interesting. Ding 
and Xueyou also brought quite a lot of magazines and books to read on 
the plane. So they felt the time flew. When the captain said through 
the loudspeaker that they were approaching Beijing, Ding felt a rush 
of excitement and uneasiness: what would be awaiting them in China, 
this beautiful and mysterious country?

学友和小丁乘坐中国民航的飞机从纽约去北京。飞机上的人很多，各种肤色的人都有。

去中国留学的美国学生，请航空小姐跟他们说中国话。航空小姐的汉语很标准。听他
们说汉语，学友和小丁一点问题也没有。学友和小丁说的汉语，航空小姐也都懂。航
空小姐问学友和小丁学汉语学了几年，怎麽进步得这麽快。小丁回答说：" 我们学
汉语学了快两年了。我从小就喜欢中国文化，上了大学，有机会学汉语，我很高兴，
所以学得很认真，也很努力。再说，我们的老师也很好。工作非常认真，教得也很好，
所以我们都进步得很快。"

纽约离北京很远，坐飞机要二十个小时。在飞机上，学友和小丁看了两个中国电影，
一个故事片，一个动画片，都很有意思。小丁和学友还带了很多杂志和书在飞机上看。
所以，他们觉得时间过得快。当机长在广播里告诉大家北京就要到了的时候，小丁又
激动又不安。中国，这个美丽，神秘的国家，等待他们的将是什麽呢？

语 法

1.The Impending Aspect:
In Chinese, when indicating an action is going to happen very soon, one can (1)put any of the adverbs 
要,快,就要,快要  before the main verb or the predicative adjective; and (2)put the particle 了at the 
end of the sentence. For example:

飞机        就要       起飞      了。	The airplane is about to take off.	
subj.	    	v.

电影         快	       开始      了。	The movie is going to begin soon.
subj.	      	v.

晚饭	     要         冷       了。	The dinner is going to be cold soon.
subj.	            pred. adj.


Note:
(1)To form a question, one can add 吗 or 吧 to the end of the sentence. 
For example:
你爸爸快起床了吗/吧？	Is your Dad getting up soon?
你就要回台湾了吗/吧？	Are you about to return to Taiwan?
The affirmative answer to the question is 对 or 是 .The negative answer will be 
没 (有)or 还没(有)呢 . 
For example:

天气快热了吧？  对/是。                Is the weather getting hot? Yes.
你们就要考试了吗？  还没呢。           Are you having an exam? Not yet.    

(2) If there is a time phrase such as 明天,五点,in the sentence to indicate the specific time when
the action is going to take place, ONLY   就要...了  can be used. 
For example:
我弟弟五点半就要吃饭了。                 My younger brother is having dinner at 5:30. 
他说他妈妈明天就要来了。                 He said that his mom is coming tomorrow.
他们十一点就要到北京了。                 They are arriving at Beijing at 11:00.




2.The Imperative Sentence:
We have come across sentences such as:

吃饭！	Eat!
请喝茶！	Have tea, please!
我们走吧。	Let’s go.

Sentences like those are known as IMPERATIVE SENTENCE.  An imperative sentence is used to express a 
suggestion, advice, or to make a command. To form a negative imperative sentence, one can put 
either 别     or   不要 before the main verb or the predicative adjective. 
For example:

别/不要吃饭！	Don’t eat!
请别/不要喝茶！	Please don’t drink tea.
我们别/不要走吧！	Let’s not go.

Note that to soften the tone of an imperative sentence, one can add the particle 了 to the end of the sentence. 
For example:
上飞机了！                                On borad (the plane)!
别说话了！电影就要开始了。                Don't talk! The movie is about to start.



3.The expression 怎麽行:
The expression 怎麽行 is often used as a rhetorical question. It translates into English roughly as
“Would it be OK?” For example:

你不吃饭，怎麽行？	You won’t eat. Would it be OK?
学汉语不作作业，怎麽行？	Study Chinese, and won’t do the homework. Would it work?
