00:00.000 --> 00:02.760
Standard Chinese, a modular approach.

00:02.760 --> 00:07.960
Meeting module, Unit 4, Comprehension Tape 1.

00:07.960 --> 00:11.200
The situations on this tape are set in the ROC.

00:11.200 --> 00:16.400
On this tape, you'll learn questions and answers you might use when you're invited to someone's house.

00:16.400 --> 00:20.520
In the last unit, Mr. Franklin, an American businessman in Taipei,

00:20.520 --> 00:25.120
invited Section Chief Huang, an official at his bank, to come to dinner.

00:25.120 --> 00:29.920
Listen to the conversation as Mrs. Franklin opens the door for the Huangs.

00:29.920 --> 00:33.200
Section Chief Huang, Mrs. Huang, welcome.

00:33.200 --> 00:38.120
黄客长,黄太太,欢迎,欢迎。

00:38.120 --> 00:41.960
黄客长,黄太太,欢迎,欢迎。

00:41.960 --> 00:43.400
Please come in.

00:43.400 --> 00:47.240
请进,请进。

00:47.240 --> 00:49.800
Here's the verb to welcome.

00:49.800 --> 00:53.560
欢迎,欢迎。

00:53.560 --> 00:56.040
And here's the verb to enter.

00:56.040 --> 00:59.200

00:59.200 --> 01:02.160
Listen to the remarks live.

01:02.160 --> 01:05.760
黄客长,黄太太,欢迎,欢迎。

01:05.760 --> 01:07.640

01:07.640 --> 01:09.880

01:09.880 --> 01:12.880
黄客长,黄太太,欢迎,欢迎。

01:12.880 --> 01:14.680
请进。

01:14.680 --> 01:17.680
Check your comprehension.

01:17.680 --> 01:25.760
黄客长,黄太太,欢迎,欢迎。

01:25.760 --> 01:29.320
Section Chief Huang, Mrs. Huang, welcome.

01:29.320 --> 01:32.280
请进。

01:32.280 --> 01:34.800
Please come in.

01:34.800 --> 01:37.280
The conversation continues.

01:37.280 --> 01:39.560
How are you, Mrs. Franklin?

01:39.560 --> 01:42.760
副太太,您好。

01:42.760 --> 01:45.640
副太太,您好。

01:45.640 --> 01:49.600
Here's a small token of appreciation.

01:49.600 --> 01:54.200
这是一点小意思。

01:54.200 --> 01:57.480
这是一点小意思。

01:57.480 --> 02:03.200
This sentence might also be translated more informally as here's a little for you.

02:03.200 --> 02:06.720
Here's the phrase that means token of appreciation.

02:06.720 --> 02:08.680
小意思。

02:08.680 --> 02:10.960
小意思。

02:10.960 --> 02:16.840
Literally, the word意思 means meaning, idea, or intention.

02:16.840 --> 02:21.800
You've seen it before in the expression 有意思, to be interesting.

02:21.800 --> 02:24.880
Here are the remarks live.

02:24.880 --> 02:26.920
副太太,您好。

02:26.920 --> 02:29.320
这是一点小意思。

02:29.320 --> 02:31.000
Again.

02:31.000 --> 02:33.280
副太太,您好。

02:33.280 --> 02:35.640
这是一点小意思。

02:35.640 --> 02:37.680
Check your comprehension.

02:37.680 --> 02:41.680
副太太,您好。

02:41.680 --> 02:44.080
How are you, Mrs. Franklin?

02:44.080 --> 02:49.920
这是一点小意思。

02:49.920 --> 02:53.360
Here's a small token of appreciation.

02:53.360 --> 02:59.360
Let's leave Section Chief Huang for a moment and listen to how Mrs. Franklin might have greeted an earlier guest.

02:59.360 --> 03:02.560
Here's the conversation live.

03:02.560 --> 03:06.920
梁先生,欢迎欢迎,请进。

03:06.920 --> 03:10.680
这是一点点心给你们的小孩子。

03:10.680 --> 03:12.520
你真太客气。

03:12.520 --> 03:16.880
没什么,就是一点小意思。

03:16.880 --> 03:18.640
Again.

03:18.640 --> 03:22.080
梁先生,欢迎欢迎,请进。

03:22.080 --> 03:25.320
这是一点点心给你们的小孩子。

03:25.320 --> 03:26.840
你真太客气。

03:26.840 --> 03:30.440
没什么,就是一点小意思。

03:30.440 --> 03:33.080
Check your comprehension.

03:33.080 --> 03:41.280
梁先生,欢迎欢迎,请进。

03:41.280 --> 03:45.040
Mr. Liang, welcome. Please come in.

03:45.040 --> 03:54.120
这是一点点心给你们的小孩子。

03:54.120 --> 03:56.920
Here are some cookies for your children.

03:56.920 --> 04:00.800
你真太客气。

04:00.800 --> 04:03.160
You're really too polite.

04:03.160 --> 04:11.440
没什么,就是一点小意思。

04:11.440 --> 04:16.040
It's nothing. It's just a small token of appreciation.

04:16.040 --> 04:18.720
Now let's go back to Section Chief Huang.

04:18.720 --> 04:24.320
You'll remember he had just handed Mrs. Franklin a gift.

04:24.320 --> 04:28.480
I know you like landscape paintings.

04:28.480 --> 04:35.040
我知道您喜欢山水画。

04:35.040 --> 04:39.760
我知道您喜欢山水画。

04:39.760 --> 04:44.080
I especially requested a friend to paint one for you.

04:44.080 --> 04:51.560
特别请朋友给您画了一张。

04:51.560 --> 04:56.280
特别请朋友给您画了一张。

04:56.280 --> 05:00.400
Here's the word for a painting or for the verb to paint.

05:00.400 --> 05:03.840
画。

05:03.840 --> 05:07.840
In peaking speech, the word for a painting ends with an R.

05:07.840 --> 05:11.920
Listen, 画。

05:11.920 --> 05:14.600
Here's how you say landscape painting.

05:14.600 --> 05:18.920
山水画。

05:18.920 --> 05:22.360
Literally, the word 山 means hill or mountain.

05:22.360 --> 05:24.960
And the word 水 means water.

05:24.960 --> 05:29.920
In this case, of course, the word 水 refers to rivers or lakes.

05:29.920 --> 05:33.280
Here's the word for special or especially.

05:33.280 --> 05:37.560
特别。

05:37.560 --> 05:42.960
In the last sentence, the verb 画 is followed by a completed action marker 乐。

05:42.960 --> 05:46.840
特别请朋友给您画了一张。

05:46.840 --> 05:52.840
The marker 乐 must be added when a completed action is followed by an object with a number and a counter.

05:52.840 --> 05:56.400
See the reference notes for further discussion.

05:56.400 --> 06:00.040
Now listen to the comments live.

06:00.040 --> 06:02.880
我知道您喜欢山水画。

06:02.880 --> 06:07.080
特别请朋友给您画了一张。

06:07.080 --> 06:08.960
Again。

06:08.960 --> 06:11.680
我知道您喜欢山水画。

06:11.680 --> 06:16.320
特别请朋友给您画了一张。

06:16.320 --> 06:18.960
Check your comprehension.

06:18.960 --> 06:26.360
我知道您喜欢山水画。

06:26.360 --> 06:29.840
I know you like landscape paintings.

06:29.840 --> 06:37.040
特别请朋友给您画了一张。

06:37.040 --> 06:42.320
I especially requested a friend to paint one for you.

06:42.320 --> 06:46.520
Here's how Mrs. Franklin responds to the gift.

06:46.520 --> 06:50.480
您真是太客气。谢谢。

06:50.480 --> 06:53.440
来,我给你们介绍介绍。

06:53.440 --> 06:58.640
On the way to the living room, Section Chief Huang notices a painting on the wall.

06:58.640 --> 07:00.760
Listen to his comment live.

07:00.760 --> 07:05.880
这张山水画真漂亮。

07:05.880 --> 07:08.600
是朴先生画的吧?

07:08.600 --> 07:09.600
是的。

07:09.600 --> 07:12.720
我特别喜欢朴先生的画。

07:12.720 --> 07:14.720
Again。

07:14.720 --> 07:18.040
这张山水画真漂亮。

07:18.040 --> 07:20.440
是朴先生画的吧?

07:20.440 --> 07:21.440
是的。

07:21.440 --> 07:24.920
我特别喜欢朴先生的画。

07:24.920 --> 07:27.680
Check your comprehension.

07:27.680 --> 07:32.320
这张山水画真漂亮。

07:32.320 --> 07:38.640
这张山水画真漂亮。

07:38.640 --> 07:42.320
是朴先生画的吧?

07:42.320 --> 07:48.320
It must be painted by Mr. Poo.

07:48.320 --> 07:50.120
是的。

07:50.120 --> 07:52.240
That's right.

07:52.240 --> 07:56.040
我特别喜欢朴先生的画。

07:56.040 --> 08:02.280
I especially like Mr. Poo's paintings.

08:02.280 --> 08:06.160
The conversation continues in the living room.

08:06.160 --> 08:11.600
This is Professor Hollands, who teaches economics at Taida.

08:11.600 --> 08:17.160
这位是何教授,在台大教经济学。

08:17.160 --> 08:23.840
这位是何教授,在台大教经济学。

08:23.840 --> 08:27.040
Here's the word for Professor.

08:27.040 --> 08:29.520
教授。

08:29.520 --> 08:31.880
教授。

08:31.880 --> 08:37.320
Notice that the tone on the verb to teach is high.

08:37.320 --> 08:38.320
教。

08:38.320 --> 08:42.120
While the tone on the first syllable of the word for Professor is falling.

08:42.120 --> 08:43.120
教。

08:43.120 --> 08:47.800
Here's the abbreviated name for Taiwan University.

08:47.800 --> 08:48.800
台大。

08:48.800 --> 08:49.800
台大。

08:49.800 --> 08:53.800
Listen to the whole introduction live.

08:53.800 --> 08:59.200
这位是何教授,在台大教经济学。

08:59.200 --> 09:05.080
何教授,这位是黄科长,在台湾银行工作。

09:05.080 --> 09:07.680
这位是黄太太。

09:07.680 --> 09:08.680
Again。

09:08.680 --> 09:15.480
这位是何教授,在台大教经济学。

09:15.480 --> 09:20.680
何教授,这位是黄科长,在台湾银行工作。

09:20.680 --> 09:22.680
这位是黄太太。

09:22.680 --> 09:25.680
Check your comprehension.

09:25.680 --> 09:37.480
这位是何教授,在台大教经济学。

09:37.480 --> 09:42.880
This is Professor Hollands, who teaches economics at台大。

09:42.880 --> 09:55.240
何教授,这位是黄科长,在台湾银行工作。

09:55.240 --> 10:00.680
Mr. Hollands, this is Section Chief Huang, who works at the Bank of Taiwan.

10:00.680 --> 10:05.520
这位是黄太太。

10:05.520 --> 10:08.720
This is Mrs. Huang.

10:08.720 --> 10:12.760
The conversation continues.

10:12.760 --> 10:14.760
Glad to meet you.

10:14.760 --> 10:15.760
久仰。

10:15.760 --> 10:16.760
久仰。

10:16.760 --> 10:17.760
久仰。

10:17.760 --> 10:18.760
久仰。

10:18.760 --> 10:19.760
久仰。

10:19.760 --> 10:21.760
How long have you been here?

10:21.760 --> 10:28.760
您来了多久了?

10:28.760 --> 10:31.760
您来了多久了?

10:31.760 --> 10:33.760
Glad to meet you.

10:33.760 --> 10:36.760
It's only been two months since I came.

10:36.760 --> 10:37.760
久仰。

10:37.760 --> 10:40.760
我刚来两个月。

10:40.760 --> 10:42.760
久仰。

10:42.760 --> 10:45.760
我刚来两个月。

10:45.760 --> 10:48.760
Here's how you say, glad to meet you.

10:48.760 --> 10:50.760
久仰。

10:50.760 --> 10:52.760
久仰。

10:52.760 --> 10:56.760
This greeting is only used to someone you've heard of before.

10:56.760 --> 11:02.760
Notice that in the sentence,我刚来两个月,no love is used.

11:02.760 --> 11:08.760
The focus is not on an amount of time having passed, but on the shortness of the period.

11:08.760 --> 11:10.760
Listen to the exchange live.

11:10.760 --> 11:12.760
久仰。

11:12.760 --> 11:14.760
久仰。

久仰。

11:23.760 --> 11:24.760

11:27.760 --> 11:29.760

11:29.760 --> 11:32.760

11:36.760 --> 11:39.760
Glad to meet you.

11:39.760 --> 11:45.760
您来了多久了?

11:45.760 --> 11:48.760
You've been here.

11:48.760 --> 11:49.760
久仰。

11:49.760 --> 11:57.760
我刚来两个月。

11:57.760 --> 11:59.760
Glad to meet you.

11:59.760 --> 12:02.760
It's only been two months since I came.

12:02.760 --> 12:05.760
The conversation continues.

12:05.760 --> 12:09.760
There's still much I'm not familiar with.

12:09.760 --> 12:14.760
还有很多不熟悉的地方。

12:14.760 --> 12:19.760
Later I want to request more advice from you.

12:19.760 --> 12:24.760
以后还要向您请教。

12:24.760 --> 12:28.760
以后还要向您请教。

12:28.760 --> 12:32.760
Here's the adjectival verb to be familiar with.

12:32.760 --> 12:34.760
熟悉。

12:34.760 --> 12:36.760
熟悉。

12:36.760 --> 12:43.760
Here's how you say to ask advice, literally to request teaching.

12:43.760 --> 12:46.760
请教。

12:46.760 --> 12:48.760
请教。

12:48.760 --> 12:53.760
And here's the preposition of verb translated from in the second sentence above.

12:53.760 --> 12:54.760
向。

12:54.760 --> 12:56.760
向。

12:56.760 --> 13:01.760
Literally the word 向 means facing.

13:01.760 --> 13:03.760
Listen to the comments live.

13:03.760 --> 13:07.760
还有很多不熟悉的地方。

13:07.760 --> 13:11.760
以后还要向您请教。

13:11.760 --> 13:12.760
Again.

13:12.760 --> 13:15.760
还有很多不熟悉的地方。

13:15.760 --> 13:19.760
以后还要向您请教。

13:19.760 --> 13:21.760
Check your comprehension.

13:21.760 --> 13:29.760
还有很多不熟悉的地方。

13:29.760 --> 13:34.760
There's still much I'm not familiar with.

13:34.760 --> 13:42.760
以后还要向您请教。

13:42.760 --> 13:47.760
Later I want to request more advice from you.

13:47.760 --> 13:50.760
The conversation concludes.

13:50.760 --> 13:53.760
Not at all.

13:53.760 --> 13:55.760
哪里哪里。

13:55.760 --> 13:58.760
哪里哪里。

13:58.760 --> 14:03.760
I hope that we'll have an opportunity to meet more later.

14:03.760 --> 14:13.760
希望以后有机会多见面。

14:13.760 --> 14:21.760
As you can see, the verb 希望 can mean to hope that as well as to hope to and to wish to.

14:21.760 --> 14:26.760
Here's a verb that means to meet or see someone.

14:26.760 --> 14:30.760
见面。

14:30.760 --> 14:33.760
Literally, the element 面 means space.

14:33.760 --> 14:39.760
So 见面 is a verb object compound meaning to see someone's face.

14:39.760 --> 14:42.760
Here's how you say to meet more.

14:42.760 --> 14:46.760
多见面。

14:46.760 --> 14:52.760
In this phrase, the adjective verb 多 is acting as an adverb.

14:52.760 --> 14:56.760
Listen to the final remarks live.

14:56.760 --> 14:58.760
哪里哪里。

14:58.760 --> 15:02.760
希望以后有机会多见面。

15:02.760 --> 15:04.760
Again.

15:04.760 --> 15:05.760
哪里哪里。

15:05.760 --> 15:09.760
希望以后有机会多见面。

15:09.760 --> 15:11.760
Check your comprehension.

15:11.760 --> 15:14.760
