Unfortunately, we had already arranged with friends to go someplace else.

103
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:50,420
我已经请他的秘书转告他,我不能去。

104
00:07:50,420 --> 00:07:55,620
I already asked the secretary to inform him that I can't go.

105
00:07:55,620 --> 00:08:01,520
Let's go back and listen to how the receptionist responds to the invitation being turned down.

In the sentence,我替你转告一下。

115
00:08:54,620 --> 00:09:01,020
The addition of 一下 acts like reduplication of the verb to make the statement more casual.

116
00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:04,220
Here's the response live.

117
00:09:04,220 --> 00:09:07,720

00:13:30,820 --> 00:13:35,020
We have a previous engagement that day. We have no way of going.

161

没办法。

166
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:11,120
By itself, the word 办法 means method or way.

167
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,820
Here's the reply live.

168

We have a previous engagement that day. We have no way of going.

176
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:02,520
An invitation from someone you don't know very well might be refused more politely. Listen.

177
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,120
I hope that later we'll again find a chance to get together.

178
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:16,420
希望以后再找机会聚聚吧。

179
00:15:16,420 --> 00:15:22,120
希望以后再找机会聚聚吧。

180
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:29,120
Here's the verb to get together, to gather or to assemble.

181
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:34,120
聚。

182
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,120
Here's the exchange live.

183
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,620
希望以后再找机会聚聚吧。

184
00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:44,120
好啊。Again.

185
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,620
希望以后再找机会聚聚吧。

186
00:15:47,620 --> 00:15:52,120
好啊。Check your comprehension.

187
00:15:52,120 --> 00:16:03,620
希望以后再找机会聚聚吧。

188
00:16:03,620 --> 00:16:08,620
I hope that later we'll again find a chance to get together.

189
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:11,620
好啊。

190
00:16:11,620 --> 00:16:14,120
Fun.

191
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:21,120
Let's change the scene and listen to another short conversation reviewing the material just covered.

192
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,620
朱子强,我还没去过长城呢。

193
00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:33,620
这个星期天我要约几个同学到长城去玩,你能不能跟我们一起去?

194
00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:47,120
对不起,那天真不巧,我已经跟别人约好了,有几个朋友在一起聚聚,没办法去谢谢。

195
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,620
Again,朱子强,我还没去过长城呢。

196
00:16:52,620 --> 00:16:59,620
这个星期天我要约几个同学到长城去玩,你能不能跟我们一起去?

197
00:16:59,620 --> 00:17:13,620
对不起,那天真不巧,我已经跟别人约好了,有几个朋友在一起聚聚,没办法去谢谢。

198
00:17:13,620 --> 00:17:21,620
So if you understood what we said,朱子强,我还没去过长城呢?

199
00:17:21,620 --> 00:17:29,620
对不起,那天真不巧,我已经跟别人约了,有几个朋友在一起聚聚,没办法去谢谢。

200
00:17:29,620 --> 00:17:33,620
朱子强,我还没去过长城呢。

201
00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:47,620
这个星期天我要约几个同学到长城去玩。

202
00:17:47,620 --> 00:17:59,620
这个星期天我要约几个同学到长城去玩,你能不能跟我们一起去?

203
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:10,620
对不起,那天真不巧。

204
00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:21,620
I really can't make that.

205
00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:26,620
I've already made arrangements with other people.

206
00:18:26,620 --> 00:18:38,620
有几个朋友在一起聚聚。

207
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:42,620
There's a group of friends who are going to get together.

208
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:49,620
没办法去谢谢。

209
00:18:49,620 --> 00:18:53,620
There's no way I can go. Thank you.

210
00:18:53,620 --> 00:18:58,620
The following live conversation reviews all the material introduced on this tape.

211
00:18:58,620 --> 00:19:03,620
You'll hear the conversation twice live and once with pauses in English.

212
00:19:03,620 --> 00:19:13,620
This conversation takes place on the campus of Peking University right before the beginning of a new school year between a Chinese and a Canadian student who had attended together the year before.

213
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:17,620
Here's the conversation live.

214
00:19:17,620 --> 00:19:26,620
下星期天我们有几个同学计划到长城去玩,想请你和扭顿一起去。

215
00:19:26,620 --> 00:19:28,620
好啊。

216
00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:34,620
我不知道扭顿现在在哪儿,没办法当面和他说。

217
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:36,620
你能替我转告他一下吗?

218
00:19:36,620 --> 00:19:38,620
可以。

219
00:19:38,620 --> 00:19:43,620
今天下午我看见他的时候告诉他。

220
00:19:43,620 --> 00:19:46,620
今天晚上你有事吗?

221
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:50,620
咱们去找法国同学聚一聚,好不好?

222
00:19:50,620 --> 00:19:52,620
可惜不巧。

223
00:19:52,620 --> 00:19:56,620
我借到我们大使馆的一个清铁。

224
00:19:56,620 --> 00:19:59,620
今天晚上我得到大使馆去。

225
00:19:59,620 --> 00:20:07,620
大使的秘书还告诉我,乔部长李斌斯的几位同志也来。

226
00:20:07,620 --> 00:20:13,620
我还没见过乔部长呢,这是一个很好的机会。

227
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:19,620
很遗憾,不能和你一起去找法国同学。

228
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:21,620
没关系。

229
00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:23,620
Again,

230
00:20:23,620 --> 00:20:32,620
下星期天我们有几个同学计划到长城去玩,想请你和扭顿一起去。

231
00:20:32,620 --> 00:20:34,620
好啊。

232
00:20:34,620 --> 00:20:40,620
我不知道扭顿现在在哪儿,没办法当面和他说。

233
00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:43,620
你能替我转告他一下吗?

234
00:20:43,620 --> 00:20:48,620
可以,今天下午我看见他的时候告诉他。

235
00:20:48,620 --> 00:20:50,620
今天晚上你有事吗?

236
00:20:50,620 --> 00:20:54,620
我们去找法国同学聚一聚,好不好?

237
00:20:54,620 --> 00:20:56,620
可惜不巧。

238
00:20:56,620 --> 00:21:03,620
我借到我们大使馆的一个清铁,今天晚上我得到大使馆去。

239
00:21:03,620 --> 00:21:11,620
大使的秘书还告诉我,乔部长李斌斯的几位同志也来。

240
00:21:11,620 --> 00:21:17,620
我还没见过乔部长呢,这是一个很好的机会。

241
00:21:17,620 --> 00:21:22,620
很遗憾,不能和你一起去找法国同学。

242
00:21:22,620 --> 00:21:24,620
没关系。

243
00:21:24,620 --> 00:21:28,620
Now see if you understood what was said.

244
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:41,620
下星期天我们有几个同学计划到长城去玩。

245
00:21:41,620 --> 00:21:47,620
Next Sunday a few of our students are planning to go to the Great Wall for an outing.

246
00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:56,620
想请你和扭顿一起去。

247
00:21:56,620 --> 00:21:59,620
We'd like to invite you and Newton to come along.

248
00:21:59,620 --> 00:22:01,620
好啊。

249
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:03,620
Fine.

250
00:22:03,620 --> 00:22:10,620
我不知道扭顿现在在哪儿。

251
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:13,620
I don't know where Newton is now.

252
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:22,620
没办法当面和他说。

253
00:22:22,620 --> 00:22:26,620
I don't have any way to speak to him in person.

254
00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:34,620
你能替我转告他一下吗?

255
00:22:34,620 --> 00:22:37,620
Can you pass all the message to him for me?

256
00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:39,620
可以。

257
00:22:39,620 --> 00:22:41,620
Sure.

258
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:50,620
今天下午我看见他的时候告诉他。

259
00:22:50,620 --> 00:22:54,620
I'll tell him when I see him this afternoon.

260
00:22:54,620 --> 00:22:59,620
今天晚上你有事吗?

261
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:02,620
Are you busy tonight?

262
00:23:02,620 --> 00:23:11,620
我们去找法国同学聚一聚好不好。

263
00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:15,620
Let's go find the French students and get together okay?

264
00:23:15,620 --> 00:23:22,620
可惜不巧。

265
00:23:22,620 --> 00:23:26,620
What a pity, I can't make that.

266
00:23:26,620 --> 00:23:34,620
接着我们大使馆的一个清铁。

267
00:23:34,620 --> 00:23:38,620
I've received an invitation from our embassy.

268
00:23:38,620 --> 00:23:46,620
今天晚上我得到大使馆去。

269
00:23:46,620 --> 00:23:49,620
I have to go to the embassy tonight.

270
00:23:49,620 --> 00:24:06,620
大使的秘书还告诉我,乔部长,李斌斯的几位同志也来。

271
00:24:06,620 --> 00:24:14,620
The ambassador secretary also told me that Minister Qiao and a few comrades from the protocol department are coming too.

272
00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:21,620
没见过乔部长呢。

273
00:24:21,620 --> 00:24:24,620
I haven't met Minister Qiao yet.

274
00:24:24,620 --> 00:24:31,620
这是一个很好的机会。

275
00:24:31,620 --> 00:24:35,620
This is a very good opportunity.

276
00:24:35,620 --> 00:24:46,620
可惜不能和您一起去找法国同学。

277
00:24:46,620 --> 00:24:51,620
I really regret that I can't go with you to find the French students.

278
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:55,620
没关系。

279
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:58,620
That doesn't matter.

280
00:24:58,620 --> 00:25:04,620
As a final review, see if you can translate the following sentences and exchanges from the target list.

281
00:25:04,620 --> 00:25:07,620
Number one.

282
00:25:07,620 --> 00:25:13,620
很遗憾他不能来。

283
00:25:13,620 --> 00:25:16,620
We regret that he can't come.

284
00:25:16,620 --> 00:25:23,620
我替你转告一下。

285
00:25:23,620 --> 00:25:26,620
I'll pass on the message for you.

286
00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:28,620
Number two.

287
00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:35,620
大使接着你们的琴铁了。

288
00:25:35,620 --> 00:25:38,620
The ambassador received your invitation.

289
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:50,620
很可惜因为他有事,8月9号不能来。

290
00:25:50,620 --> 00:25:56,620
Unfortunately, because he has a previous engagement, he can't come on August 9th.

291
00:25:56,620 --> 00:26:02,620
请你转告乔部长。

292
00:26:02,620 --> 00:26:04,620
Please inform Minister Qiao.

293
00:26:04,620 --> 00:26:07,620
很抱歉。

294
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:10,620
I'm very sorry.

295
00:26:10,620 --> 00:26:12,620
Number three.

296
00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:19,620
喂,这是离边司。

297
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:23,620
Hello, this is the protocol department.

298
00:26:23,620 --> 00:26:30,620
喂,我是来登大使的秘书。

299
00:26:30,620 --> 00:26:34,620
Hello, I'm Ambassador Lydon's secretary.

300
00:26:34,620 --> 00:26:36,620
Number four.

301
00:26:36,620 --> 00:26:45,620
希望以后再找机会聚聚吧。

302
00:26:45,620 --> 00:26:49,620
I hope that later we'll again find a chance to get together.

303
00:26:49,620 --> 00:26:51,620
Number five.

304
00:26:51,620 --> 00:26:59,620
真不巧,没办法去。

305
00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:01,620
I really can't make that.

306
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:03,620
I have no way of going.

307
00:27:03,620 --> 00:27:06,620
Number six.

308
00:27:06,620 --> 00:27:16,620
我们有几个同学计划到长城去玩。

309
00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:21,620
A few of us students are planning to go to the Great Wall for an outing.

310
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:25,620
If you think you're ready, go on to the P1 tape.

311
00:27:25,620 --> 00:27:29,620
This is the end of the tape.

312
00:27:29,620 --> 00:27:47,620
Number seven module, unit eight, comprehension tape one.
