        <para><emphasis role="bold">Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach</emphasis> originated in an
            inter-agency 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. </para>
        <para>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.</para>
        <para> A Project Board was established consisting of representatives of the Central
            Intelligence Agency Language Learning Center, the Defense Language Institute, the State
            Department1s 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, and
            John Boag (CIA); Colonel John F. Elder III，Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy Gibian, and Major
            Bernard Muller-Thym (DLI); James R. Frith and John B. Ratliff III（FSI); Kazuo Shitama
            (NSA); Richard T. Thompson and Julia Petrov (OE); and Lieutenant Colonel George Kozoriz
            (CFFLS).</para>
        <para>The Project Board set up the Chinese Core Curriculum Project in 1974 in space provided
            at the Foreign Service Institute. Each of the six U.S. and Canadian government agencies
            provided funds and other assistance. </para>
        <para>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 0'Connor
            of the University of Texas9 Earl M. Rickerson of the Language Learning Center, and James
            Wrenn of Brown University. In the fall of 1977， 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.</para>
        <para>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.
            Lucille A. Barale and Roberta S. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. By
            1978 Thomas E. Madden and Susan C. Pola had joined the staff. Led by Ms, Barale, they
            have worked as a team to produce the materials subsequent to Module 6. </para>
        <para>All Chinese language material was prepared or selected by Chuan 0. Chao, Ying-chi
            Chen, Hsiao-Jung Chi, Eva Diao, Jan Hu, Tsung-mi Li, and Yunhui C. Yang, assisted for
            part of the time by 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.</para>
        <para>Administrative assistance was provided at various times by Vincent Basciano, Lisa A,
            Bowden, Jill W. Ellis, Donna Fong, Renee T.C. Liang, Thomas E. Madden, Susan C. Pola,
            and Kathleen Strype.</para>
        <para>The production of tape recordings was directed by Jose M. Ramirez of the Foreign
            Service Institute Recording Studio. The Chinese script was voiced “by Ms. Chao, Ms.
            Chen, Mr. Chen, Ms. Diao, Ms. Hu, Mr. Khuo, Mr. Li, and Ms. Yang. The English script was
            read “by Ms. Barale, Ms. Barry, Mr. Basciano, Ms. Ellis, Ms. Pola, and Ms. Strype. The
            graphics were produced by John McClelland of the Foreign Service Institute Audio-Visual
            Staff, under the general supervision of Joseph A. Sadote, Chief of Audio-Visual. </para>
        <para><emphasis role="bold">Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach</emphasis> was field-tested

            <title>Section 1 : To the student</title>
            <para>With the Society module, you are taking a step up to a new level of expression in
                Chinese. Up till now, you have been dealing with relatively short sentences about
                concrete situations. In this module, you will start to encounter longer sentences
                and more abstract statements. The transition will take some time, but you can make
                it easier on yourself by developing methodical ways of approaching the new material
                in each unit. The following suggestions may help.</para>
            <para> Keep in mind from here on in that the two skills you will continue to work on,
                production and comprehension, are no longer expected to stay at approximately the
                same level. It is natural for your ability to understand what others say to increase
                more rapidly than your ability to express your own thoughts. As you work through the
                Society module, bear in mind that, while you are asked to understand all the
                dialogues, you are required to be able to produce only a limited part of the
                language you will hear. This is specified in the module objectives, the unit
                vocabulary lists, and the introductions to the units.</para>
        </section>
        <section>
            <title>How to use the book</title>
            <para>Each unit of this “book presents quite a “bit of new information much more than
                anyone can master in a few days time. This is because information has also been
                included simply for comparison or for your future reference. This is what you should
                master in each unit:</para>
            <para>
                <orderedlist>
                    <listitem>
                        <para>The new grammar listed in the introduction for each unit.</para>
                    </listitem>
                    <listitem>
                        <para> The “basic meanings of each vocabulary item. (Related meanings may be
                            given in the reference notes for purposes of comparison, “but you are
                            not required to remember them.)</para>
                    </listitem>
                    <listitem>
                        <para> The cultural “background information discussed in some reference
                            notes and contained in each unit1s review dialogue.</para>
                    </listitem>
                </orderedlist>
            </para>
            <para> You may find it helpful to read through the reference notes three times. On the
                first time through, read only the notes on cultural “background. The second time, go
                through the notes that explain new grammatical structures.</para>
            <para>The third time, read only the notes on the meanings and usage of new words. For
                review, <emphasis role="bold">test yourself</emphasis> on the example sentences in
                the notes by covering the Chinese column and trying to translate the English column
                into Chinese. Check your answer immediately.</para>
        </section>
        <section>
            <title>How to use the tapes</title>
            <para> Starting with Module7, there will be only two thirty-minute tapes per
                unit,</para>
            <para> instead of five.</para>
            <para>
                <emphasis role="bold">Tape 1</emphasis> introduces the material on the Reference
                List, giving you a chance to learn to understand these sentences and to practice
                saying them. Tape 1 replaces both the C-l and P-l tapes which you used in Modules 1
                through 6.</para>
            <para> You will find that the Tape 1 is denser in content and faster paced than either
                the C-l or P-l tapes. The number of new vocabulary items in each unit has been
                increased from 20-25 to 30-35- You will also notice that the sentences have
                increased in length. Since you must learn to understand as well as say these
                sentences from a single tape, you may find that you need to rewind the tape and
                review the presentation of each sentence several times. In addition, explanations
                which were formerly found on the C-l and P-l tapes are now found only in the
                Reference Notes.</para>
            <para>
                <emphasis role="bold">Tape 2</emphasis> replaces the C—2 and P-2 tapes. Each Tape 2
                will start off with a review of the sentences from the Reference List. This will be
                followed by-three exercise dialogues. You should listen to each dialogue until you
                under-stand it thoroughly. The workbook which accompanies Tape 2 describes the
                setting of the conversation and provides you with the new vocabulary you need to
                understand it. (You are not required to learn these additional vocabulary items.)
                The workbook also contains questions about each dialogue for which you will need to
                prepare answers in Chinese. Your teacher will ask you to answer these and other
                questions about the conversation in class.</para>
            <para> When you listen to the recorded dialogues, aim only for comprehension of the
                ideas. Whether or not you can repeat the sentences word for word is not critical.
                Since they are in colloquial style, the dialogues sometimes contain phrasing which
                you are not expected to be able to imitate at this stage, yet with a little effort
                (it is expected to take repeated listening), you will understand.</para>

        <section>
            <title>Section 2 : To the teacher</title>
            <para>The format of the core modules from this point on differs considerably from those
                preceding, and teaching methods should be adapted to the requirements of this new
                format. Below are a few suggestions on how to use this and subsequent core
                modules.</para>
            <section>
                <title>How to Use the Reference Notes</title>
                <para> The reference notes in Society include grammatical explanations, discussions
                    of the usage of new words, and some cultural “background information.</para>
                <para>They are called “reference” notes for a reason: they are here for the student
                    1 s present and future reference. They are not intended as material for
                    classroom study or discussion, for in these later modules，as in the first six,
                    the “bulk of classroom time should “be spent in the actual use of Chinese. The
                    thoroughness of the notes is intended to relieve you of the need to give
                    lectures on grammar and usage and allow you to devote most of your time with
                    students to live practice of the language. You should familiarize yourself with
                    the content of the notes so that when students pose questions on word usage or a
                    new structure, you can simply refer them to the relevant note.</para>
                <para> The copiousness of example sentences in the notes has a double purpose.
                    First, along with the idiomatic English translations, they show the versatility
                    of the vocabulary items they introduce; at this level of study, a single English
                    translation can seldom fully do Justice to the range of nuances expressed by a
                    Chinese word. Second, students can use the example sentences at home for
                    translation practice, either Chinese-English or English-Chinese, using a strip
                    of paper to cover the target-language column and then checking their answer for
                    immediate reinforcement.</para>
                <section>
                    <title>How to Use the Exercise Dialogues</title>
                    <para>The three exercise dialogues in each unit (exercises 2, 3 and 4) present
                        completely different situations and characters from the unit review
                        dialogue, but include the same new vocabulary and structures. They provide
                        extra listening comprehension practice at normal conversational speed, an
                        area which should receive increased attention from both student and teacher
                        beginning with this module.</para>
                    <para> The language of many of the exercise dialogues is very colloquial and
                        thus a change from the style of the preceding modules. At this stage,
                        students must accustom themselves to hearing everyday Chinese and if given
                        ample practice, their comprehension will improve quickly. But bear in mind
                        that students are not expected to be able to produce sentences in this
                        colloquial style, only to understand them.</para>
                    <para> The taped exercises 2, 3, and 4，are to be listened to outside of class as
                        many times as is necessary for the student to answer the questions in the
                        workbook section. In class, the teacher should ask the questions, rephrased
                        in Chinese, and have students answer from their notes or, preferably, from
                        memory. If students bring up questions on colloquialisms contained in the
                        dialogues at this time, handle them quickly; avoid digressions on
                        expressions which are not required for production. The point of this
                        activity is for the students to talk-- to practice saying the new words and
                        structures of the unit.</para>

                            <para>Use the subjects discussed in the dialogues as points of departure
                                for class discussions in which the teacher takes the part of the
                                Chinese who wants to understand American society and the American
                                students try to explain their ways of thinking and doing things.
                                Depending on class size, the level of the students, and individual
                                students competitiveness or reticence, these conversations will need
                                to be more or less structured. If necessary in order to maintain the
                                flow of ideas or to keep a small number of students from dominating
                                the discussion, everyone can be asked to outline possible answers
                                “before coming to class, or the teacher may prepare an outline for

                                story, another student can remind him of it or supply it
                                himself.</para>

                                certain sentences which serve a particular communicative function.
                                The Chinese material in this book is especially suited to this type
                                of exercise because of the colloquial tone of the dialogues and the
                                range of emotions and linguistic functions displayed within them.
                                For example, the students may be asked to find a sentence that
                                conveys enthusiasm toward an idea, one that conveys tentativeness
                                when asking a question about a delicate subject， or one that conveys
                                a desire to be helpful. Using the sentences thus found as take-off
                                points, the teacher can then ask the students to come up with other
                                sentences with the same linguistic function, or ask them to change
                                elements of the sentence to vary its function.</para>
                            <para>For example, Unit 1 of Society -presents some sentences (in the

                        vocabulary introduced in order to handle one kind of situation occurs in
                        that one module only. However, if desired, one of each unit1s exercise
                        dialogues can be reserved for review: have students listen to only two
                        instead of all three exercise dialogues while doing the unit, and then
                        return to the third dialogue several units later to brush up on the
                        vocabulary and structures.</para>

        <para>The Society Module (SOC) will provide you with the linguistic skills and cultural
            background information you need to visit a Chinese family, discuss some aspects of
            family life and society, to find out how someone’s family fits into the pattern of
            traditional Chinese society, and how it reflects the changes of modern society. Before
            starting this module, you must take and pass the MTG Criterion Test. In addition, it is
            assumed that by this point you will have already completed the optional modules Personal
            Welfare, Restaurant, and Hotel; vocabulary from these modules is now considered taught.
            The SOC Criterion Test will focus largely on this module, but material from the first
            six core modules and associated resource modules is also included. </para>

                            >zhèngzhi</foreignphrase> from a Chinese dictionary.</para>
                    <para>
                        <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zhèngzhi</foreignphrase> : The
                        concentrated expression of economics. It comes into being on a particular
                        economic base, serves the economic base, and has a tremendous influence on
                        economic development. In a class society, economic interests are the most
                        fundamental interests of the different classes. In order to safeguard their
                        own interests, the classes inevitably wage intense class struggle among each
                        other. Therefore, class struggle and handling relations between the classes
                        becomes the main content of politics. The relations which politics must
                        handle are the internal relations of a class, relations between the classes,
                        relations between nationalities, and international relations. Politics is
                        manifested in policies and activities in the areas of national life and
                        international relations of political parties, social groups, and social
                        forces which represent certain classes. The politics of the exploiting class
                        has as its aim to oppress the working people and to preserve its own narrow
                        interests. In the politics of the proletariat, bourgeois rule is overthrown
                        with revolutionary violence under the leadership of the proletarian
                        political party, and the dictatorship of the proletariat is established;
                        after power has been seized, socialist revolution is carried through to the
                        end, class struggle is properly waged, and contradictions between ourselves
                        and the enemy as well as contradictions among the people... are properly
                        handled; then the focus of struggle is progressively turned towards engaging
                        in the cause of socialist construction and devoting major efforts to
                        developing production, and creating the conditions needed to completely
                        abolish classes and bring about communism.</para>
                    <para> Note in particular how the politicization of everyday personal relations

                        ending before, as in <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >náxialai</foreignphrase>, “bring down and here,” or <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">pǎolái</foreignphrase> “run here.” There are
                        two things to notice about the meaning of <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">lái</foreignphrase> as a directional ending:
                        1) <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Lái</foreignphrase> can be used
                        after verbs which tell of movement from one place to another, like
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">pǎo</foreignphrase>, “to run”
                        or <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">nà</foreignphrase>, “to carry”;
                        OR after verbs which describe an action without movement from one place to
                        another, such as <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >dào</foreignphrase>, “to pour.” 2) The thing <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">lái</foreignphrase> refers to, which is what
                        ends up “here”, may be the subject OR the object of the sentence . For
                        example, in <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā pǎolai
                            le</foreignphrase>, “He ran here,” it is the subject <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">tā</foreignphrase> who performs the action of
                        running and comes here. In <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā
                            xiělai yifēng xìn le</foreignphrase>, “He has written a letter which has
                        come here,” it is the object <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >xìn</foreignphrase> which is written and comes here. <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">In Yīfu dōu yǐjīng xǐlai le</foreignphrase>,
                        “All the clothes have already been washed and brought here,” it is the topic
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yīfu</foreignphrase> which
                        were washed and brought here.</para>
                    <para> You will often split <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >lai</foreignphrase> from the verb by inserting an object like
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yìbēi chá</foreignphrase>, as
                        in sentence In fact, in sentence 7B, <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">dào</foreignphrase> and <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">lai</foreignphrase> must be split up;
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">lai</foreignphrase> may not
                        precede the object. The rules allowing <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">lái</foreignphrase> to precede the object are
                        complex, and here we will just give some examples of usage.<informaltable

                        Generally speaking, this <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >-de</foreignphrase> is used in emphatic assertions or denials,
                        especially those expressing probability, necessity, desire, etc.</para>

                        that this -de is <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">nánfāng

                            >-de</foreignphrase>; in fact, you will see that in most of the

                        “equality of the sexes,” literally “man-woman equality.” The marriage law of
                        May 1, 1950, established a policy in the PRC which has remained basically
                        the same up to the present day. It forbade bigamy polygamy, and the
                        traditional practice of adopting a young girl for the purpose of later
                        marrying her to one’s son. It also fixed a minimum age for marriage, urged
                        the acceptance of remarriage of widows, allowed divorce by mutual consent,
                        and gave women the choice not to take their husband’s surname at marriage.
                        Today, although traditional attitudes toward women and marriage persist
                        especially in rural China, official policy has made some tangible inroads
                        toward the goal of equality. Most importantly, men and woman are regarded as
                        equal under the law. They receive the same schooling. They must receive
                        equal compensation for equal work. (it is expected, however, that women
                        doing heavy physical work are not as strong or productive as men, and so
                        their pay will be correspondingly lower.) In addition, the leadership of
                        communes, production teams, and unions must include special women personnel
                        who represent the interests of women in matters of politics, finance, work,
                        and personal relations.</para>

                    <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Jiù</foreignphrase>: The adverb
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">jiù</foreignphrase> is often
                        used after expressions of time, and stresses that the time when the event
                        happens is comparatively prompt, soon, or early. The English translations
                        may vary; this use of <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >jiù</foreignphrase> has the flavor of ’“as soon as that” or “as early
                        as that,” but it can also be conveyed in English simply by putting extra
                        stress on the time expression. For example, “He's coming
                            TODAY.”(<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā jīntiān jiu
                            láile.</foreignphrase>). When used this way, <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">jiù</foreignphrase> is always unstressed or
                        neutral tone.</para>

                    <para>In the traditional Chinese family, a son had a starring role. One reason
                        was that sons assured the family’s continuity, something which every man
                        felt was his duty to his ancestors. In addition, the son usually became the
                        family representative after the father’s death or retirement. A daughter, on
                        the other hand, was expected to leave the family and become part of her
                        husband’s household, so her importance was considerably less than that of a

                                usually quoted in its original classical style: <foreignphrase

                        personality, were able to exert great influence on the family, but this was

                    <para> In traditional society, filial obedience was regarded as the primary
                        virtue in life and the source of all other virtues. It consisted of respect
                        for one’s parents and ancestors, obedience in all cases to one’s parents’
                        will, consideration and care for their daily welfare,continuation of the
                        family line, and avoidance of any actions which would shame the good name
                        and reputation of the family. But more than formal adherence to rules of
                        good conduct, filial obedience was also an attitude of warmth, founded in
                        the deep love of son and daughter for their parents. And although its origin
                        and center is the relationship of child to parents, this important concept
                        extended outside the family to govern all other relationships in the life of
                        a Chinese. It was said that if a son was not filial to his parents, he would
                        probably not fulfill the duties of a good husband, a faithful friend, or a
                        loyal citizen.</para>

                        it is normally negated. To summarize what you learned back in the Biographic
                        Information module, STATE verbs (which include adjectival verbs and
                        auxiliary verbs) are always negated with <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bù</foreignphrase>. PROCESS verbs are always
                        negated with <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">méi</foreignphrase>
                        when referring to an actual state of affairs. ACTION verbs can be negated
                        with <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bù</foreignphrase> or
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">méi</foreignphrase> depending
                        on the meaning. While there are grammar rules for choosing <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bù</foreignphrase> or <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">méi</foreignphrase> to negate your verb,
                        there are also semantic reasons for choosing one or the other: Are you

                        “large family” and “small family,” are often used in a specific sense. In
                        traditional Chinese society, <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">dà
                            jiātíng</foreignphrase> referred not merely to the number of people in
                        the family, but to the number of generations living together. Although
                        opinions on this vary greatly, you need at least three generations living
                        together to be considered a <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">dà
                            jiātíng</foreignphrase>—an “extended family”—and each generation must be
                        several people “deep.” Ideally, such a family contained a father and mother,
                        all their sons and their wives, their sons’ sons and their wives, and all
                        their children, extending to about the fourth generation. A classic example
                        of a <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">dà jiātíng</foreignphrase>,
                        like the <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Jiǎ</foreignphrase>
                        family in the novel Dream of the Red Chamber, might include over 130 people
                        all living in households within one complex of houses and courtyards.</para>
                    <para>Do not misuse <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >jiātíng</foreignphrase>, which refers to the family as an entity, for

                        It is not considered impolite to ask someone’s age, even women and old
                        people. As in the West, old people are often proud of their age and glad to
                        let you know it.</para>

                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Měitiān</foreignphrase> is
                        needed in Chinese to express the idea of “habitual” which in English is
                        conveyed simply by the present tense of “goes.” Without <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">měitiān</foreignphrase>, the Chinese sentence
                        might refer to one particular instance only. For example, it might mean that
                        grandfather went to bed early the night before.</para>
                    <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">shuì</foreignphrase>, which you
                        may know from the Welfare module, means “to sleep,” but also “to go to bed,
                        to retire.” It is like many verbs in Chinese which can indicate either the
                        continuing performance of an action (sleeping)or the start of an action
                        (trying to sleep, i.e., going to bed). In the following examples, the pair
                        of translations show the ambiguity. In real conversation, of course, the
                        ambiguity rarely causes problems because the listener interprets one way or
                        the other according to the context:<informaltable frame="none" rowsep="1"

                    <para>To remove this ambiguity, you can use more specific phrasing. For example,
                        the aspect marker <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >ne</foreignphrase> specifies absence of change, lack of completion, and
                        so rules out the second translation for each of the above three sentences:
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā shuì ne</foreignphrase>,
                        “He is sleeping,” <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Xià yǔ
                            ne</foreignphrase>, “It’s raining,” <foreignphrase

                        is ringing.” To be even more specific you could use -<foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zhe</foreignphrase>, the marker of duration
                        (usually used in combination with <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >ne</foreignphrase>): <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā

                        could use the marker <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >zài</foreignphrase> for ongoing action:<foreignphrase

                            -<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zhe</foreignphrase>, and

                        to address children directly or to talk about them in the third person. The
                        host of a children's television show, for example, would address the young

                    <para>This exchange illustrates that old ways of thinking persist in China
                        today. Although in urban areas an increasing number of women are
                        self-sufficient, great variations in social and economic conditions are
                        starkly obvious in a comparison of city and country life.</para>
                    <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zǎohūn</foreignphrase>: “early
                        marriage” This can refer to two different things, sometimes causing
                        confusion.</para>
                    <para>First, it refers to the Chinese practice of marrying a young girl off long
                        before she was an adult in order to bring some money into her parents’ home
                        and to add to the number of able-bodied workers in her in-laws’ home. Her
                        “husband” was also very young—as young as twelve to fourteen years old, and
                        often younger than she.</para>
                    <para>Second, these days <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >zǎohūn</foreignphrase> can simply mean marrying at a somewhat younger
                        age than is normally expected. This is the meaning in exchange

                            >fēngsú</foreignphrase> in a Chinese dictionary reads: ’“the sum total

                            >Gòngqǐngtuaán</foreignphrase>. This is a nationwide organization for
                        working youth and students between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five. Its
                        aim is to cultivate members’ political awareness and their cultural and
                        scientific knowledge. </para>
                    <para>The League’s history goes back to 1922, but its name, goals, and influence
                        have changed over the years. During the Cultural Revolution, the functions
                        of the League were largely taken over by the Red Guards (see note on next
                        page), but in 1973 the League began to recover its former influence. </para>
                    <para>Today, the League organizes political study sessions as well as
                        educational and recreational activities at schools, universities, factories,
                        and other places of work. The League also provides leadership for the Young
                        Pioneers (<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"

                        to fourteen.</para>
                    <para>The connection between the Communist Party and the League is a close one,
                        although the League is independently organized and has its own central
                        committee with a national congress that meets periodically.</para>
                    <para>Policy leadership for the League comes from the Youth Department of the
                        Communist Party Central Committee. By no means do all League members go on
                        to become Party members, but leadership experience in League activities
                        makes many likely candidates for later Party membership.</para>

                    <para>After their inception, the thousands of Red Guard groups nationwide had
                        difficulty forming a cohesive organization, and after the first three years
                        of the Cultural Revolution (1966 to 1968) their power began to wane. They
                        remained a prestige group, however, until their official abolishment in
                        1978.</para>
                    <para>Outside observers, as well as many Chinese, had mixed opinions of the Red
                        Guards. That they were a major force in stirring the country to join in the
                        movements of the time is beyond question. But the zealous excesses and
                        cruelties of many Red Guards toward people of “undesirable” political or
                        family backgrounds are equally well known.</para>

                    <para>The verb <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">sǐ</foreignphrase>, for
                        example, describes the instantaneous transition from a living state to a
                        dead state. It makes no sense to speak of being “in the midst of dying”; a
                        person is either alive or dead. <footnote>
                            <para>In English, “ He is dying” may look like an ongoing action, but it
                                actually means "He is very near to passing from a living state to a
                                dead state.” The passing itself is instantaneous. So to translate
                                “He is dying” in Chinese, you have to rephrase the thought, e.g.,
                                    <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā kuài yào sǐ
                                    le</foreignphrase>, “He is going to die soon”, or <foreignphrase
                                    xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Tā huóbuháng le</foreignphrase>, “He
                                won't live long.”</para>
                            <para/>
                        </footnote>Likewise, you have either arrived (<foreignphrase

                        or still moving; are either gone (<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                            >qùle</foreignphrase>) or still present.</para>
                    <para>You can make <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài</foreignphrase>

                    <para>I usually read the Washington Post. It’s a pretty good paper. It

                    <para>Some people say that religion is one way. No matter what the
                        religion,</para>
                    <para>it always teaches people to do good. But I think education is

                    <para>The more educated people there are, the fewer social problems there

                    <para>And also, a developed economy is important. In places where the

                    <para>isn’t well-developed, there are more opportunities for people to

                    <para>Exactly. People have to eat. If they can’t even get enough to eat,

                    <para>can you expect them not to commit crimes?</para>
                    <para>I don’t think it’s so simple. Crime is related to many different

                    <para>also, both parents have jobs and are very busy, so they don’t have
                        time</para>
                    <para>to take good care of the children. Some young parents seldom think

                    <para>That makes sense. But what about the situation on the mainland? What

                    <para>you two think?</para>
                    <para>Yeah, the mainland’s economy isn’t developed, and furthermore

                    <para>has a sense of attachment to the family. But read the papers: there
