00:00.000 --> 00:02.880
Standard Chinese, a modular approach.

00:02.880 --> 00:07.680
Meeting module, Unit 6, Comprehension Tape 1.

00:07.680 --> 00:11.200
The situations on this tape are set in the ROC.

00:11.200 --> 00:17.360
On this tape, you'll learn questions and answers used in inviting someone for a meal in a restaurant.

00:17.360 --> 00:20.400
This conversation takes place between Virginia Sanders,

00:20.400 --> 00:23.360
who works at the USIS library in Taipei,

00:23.360 --> 00:26.560
and Chen Huiwen, her Chinese assistant.

00:26.560 --> 00:33.200
Listen as Ms. Chen begins.Let's go have lunch together today, okay?

00:33.200 --> 00:38.320
今天我们一起去吃中饭好吗?

00:38.320 --> 00:42.800
今天我们一起去吃中饭好吗?

00:42.800 --> 00:46.720
Alright, why don't we go to the East Gate Restaurant?

00:46.720 --> 00:52.480
好啊,到东门餐厅去吃吧。

00:52.480 --> 00:58.000
Here's the word for lunch, more literally, middle meal.

00:58.000 --> 01:02.000
中饭中饭。

01:02.000 --> 01:06.000
The word for breakfast is 早饭, early meal,

01:06.000 --> 01:10.000
and the word for supper is 晚饭, late meal.

01:10.000 --> 01:13.200
The word 门 can mean either door or gate,

01:13.200 --> 01:18.000
and the word 餐厅 is commonly used in names of restaurants.

01:18.000 --> 01:22.000
Here's the explanation for this video.

01:22.000 --> 01:24.880
Here's the exchange live.

01:24.880 --> 01:28.000
今天我们一起去吃中饭好吗?

01:28.000 --> 01:31.920
好啊,到东门餐厅去吃吧。

01:31.920 --> 01:36.480
Again,今天我们一起去吃中饭好吗?

01:36.480 --> 01:40.640
好啊,到东门餐厅去吃吧。

01:40.640 --> 01:43.200
Check your comprehension.

01:43.200 --> 01:51.840
今天我们一起去吃中饭好吗?

01:51.840 --> 01:55.360
Let's go have lunch together today, okay?

01:55.360 --> 02:04.080
好啊,到东门餐厅去吃吧。

02:04.080 --> 02:08.880
Alright, why don't we go to the East Gate Restaurant?

02:08.880 --> 02:13.360
The conversation continues.

02:13.360 --> 02:18.880
I'm afraid that the food at the East Gate isn't as good as the food at the Great China.

02:18.880 --> 02:29.600
东门的菜恐怕没有大华的菜那么好吧。

02:29.600 --> 02:33.760
Here's the word for food, literally, vegetables.

02:33.760 --> 02:37.200
菜,菜.

02:37.200 --> 02:41.120
The word 菜 is also used for the dishes that are eaten along with rice,

02:41.120 --> 02:44.400
which may, of course, include some meat.

02:44.400 --> 02:50.800
The verb 没有 can be used to express that one thing doesn't come up to another in terms of some quality.

02:50.800 --> 02:54.880
And the verb 有 can be used to express that it does.

02:54.880 --> 03:02.320
The word expressing the quality comes after the word 没有 to that extent or 这么 to this extent.

03:02.320 --> 03:04.560
Here are some examples.

03:04.560 --> 03:07.760
Your car is as large as mine.

03:07.760 --> 03:11.760
你的车有我的车这么大。

03:11.760 --> 03:15.600
你的车有我的车这么大。

03:15.600 --> 03:18.800
My car isn't as large as his.

03:18.800 --> 03:23.200
我的车没有他的车那么大。

03:23.200 --> 03:27.520
我的车没有他的车那么大。

03:27.520 --> 03:31.040
Now listen to Ms. Chen's statement live.

03:31.040 --> 03:35.520
东门的菜恐怕没有大华的菜那么好吧。

03:35.520 --> 03:41.600
Again,东门的菜恐怕没有大华的菜那么好吧。

03:41.600 --> 03:44.160
Check your comprehension.

03:44.160 --> 03:56.800
东门的菜恐怕没有大华的菜那么好吧。

03:56.800 --> 04:02.960
I'm afraid that the food at the east gate isn't as good as the food at the great china.

04:02.960 --> 04:06.240
The conversation continues.

04:06.240 --> 04:09.600
Even though it's not too good, it is close to us.

04:09.600 --> 04:20.160
虽然不太好,可是离我们这里近。

04:20.160 --> 04:24.000
Here's the word for although or even though.

04:24.000 --> 04:28.160
虽然

04:28.160 --> 04:34.880
The word 虽然 in chinese must always be followed in the second part of the sentence by the word 可识.

04:34.880 --> 04:38.400
This 可识 is usually not translated.

04:38.400 --> 04:47.680
Sometimes, however, it may be expressed by the word still, as in, even though it's not too good, still it is close to us.

04:47.680 --> 04:50.000
Here's the sentence live.

04:50.000 --> 04:54.240
虽然不太好,可是离我们这里近。

04:54.240 --> 05:00.640
Again,虽然不太好,可是离我们这里近。

05:00.640 --> 05:03.520
Check your comprehension.

05:03.520 --> 05:13.040
虽然不太好,可是离我们这里近。

05:13.040 --> 05:17.840
Even though it's not too good, it is close to us.

05:17.840 --> 05:20.320
The conversation continues.

05:20.320 --> 05:25.600
Oh, there's also a newly opened restaurant that's even closer to us.

05:25.600 --> 05:32.080
Oh,还有一个新开的饭馆子,离我们这里更近。

05:32.080 --> 05:37.440
Oh,还有一个新开的饭馆子,离我们这里更近。

05:37.440 --> 05:41.680
Here's the word for recently, newly or new.

05:41.680 --> 05:45.200
新

05:45.200 --> 05:47.760
And here's the word for even more.

05:47.760 --> 05:51.360
更

05:51.360 --> 05:54.480
Here's Mr. Chen's sentence live.

05:54.480 --> 05:59.760
Oh,还有一个新开的饭馆子,离我们这里更近。

05:59.760 --> 06:01.520
Again

06:01.520 --> 06:06.560
Oh,还有一个新开的饭馆子,离我们这里更近。

06:06.560 --> 06:09.120
Check your comprehension.

06:09.120 --> 06:21.040
Oh,还有一个新开的饭馆子,离我们这里更近。

06:21.040 --> 06:27.120
Oh, there's also a newly opened restaurant that's even closer to us.

06:27.120 --> 06:30.000
The conversation continues.

06:30.000 --> 06:33.040
The food there is extremely good.

06:33.040 --> 06:37.040
他们那里的菜非常好。

06:37.040 --> 06:41.040
他们那里的菜非常好。

06:41.040 --> 06:44.240
Today I'm going to invite you to go eat there.

06:44.240 --> 06:48.560
今天我请你到那里去吃。

06:48.560 --> 06:52.000
今天我请你到那里去吃。

06:52.000 --> 06:54.160
I can't let you do that.

06:54.160 --> 06:56.720
那不好意思。

06:56.720 --> 06:59.840
那不好意思。

06:59.840 --> 07:04.080
Here's the adverb for extremely or unusually.

07:04.080 --> 07:08.240
非常

07:08.240 --> 07:10.640
And here's how you say embarrassing.

07:10.640 --> 07:14.480
不好意思。

07:14.480 --> 07:22.160
The sentence那不好意思 could be translated more literally as that would be too embarrassing.

07:22.160 --> 07:24.800
Here's the exchange live.

07:24.800 --> 07:27.280
他们那里的菜非常好。

07:27.280 --> 07:29.680
今天我请你到那里去吃。

07:29.680 --> 07:32.240
那不好意思。

07:32.240 --> 07:36.000
Again,他们那里的菜非常好。

07:36.000 --> 07:38.240
今天我请你到那里去吃。

07:38.240 --> 07:40.880
那不好意思。

07:40.880 --> 07:43.280
Check your comprehension.

07:43.280 --> 07:49.200
他们那里的菜非常好。

07:49.200 --> 07:52.400
The food there is extremely good.

07:52.400 --> 07:59.600
今天我请你到那里去吃。

07:59.600 --> 08:03.920
Today I'm going to invite you to go eat there.

08:03.920 --> 08:09.120
那不好意思。

08:09.120 --> 08:12.240
I can't let you do that.

08:12.240 --> 08:15.280
Let's change the scene for a similar conversation.

08:15.280 --> 08:18.320
You'll need one new expression for this conversation.

08:18.320 --> 08:21.200
Here's how you say much cheaper.

08:21.200 --> 08:26.080
便宜的多。

08:26.080 --> 08:28.960
Here's the conversation live.

08:28.960 --> 08:33.360
我们到大华餐厅去吃中饭好不好。

08:33.360 --> 08:39.360
他们的菜非常好,离这里也近。

08:39.360 --> 08:46.640
还有一个新开的饭馆子,叫西门餐厅,离这里更近。

08:46.640 --> 08:51.040
虽然没有大华那么好,可是便宜的多。

08:51.040 --> 08:54.480
好,我们到那里去吧。

08:54.480 --> 08:58.240
今天我请你,那不好意思。

08:58.240 --> 09:00.560
别客气。

09:00.560 --> 09:06.560
Again,我们到大华餐厅去吃中饭好不好。

09:06.560 --> 09:10.720
他们的菜非常好,离这里也近。

09:10.720 --> 09:17.840
还有一个新开的饭馆子,叫西门餐厅,离这里更近。

09:17.840 --> 09:21.920
虽然没有大华那么好,可是便宜的多。

09:21.920 --> 09:24.480
好,我们到那里去吧。

09:24.480 --> 09:27.440
今天我请你,那不好意思。

09:27.440 --> 09:29.680
别客气。

09:29.680 --> 09:32.720
See if you understood what was said.

09:32.720 --> 09:41.040
我们到大华餐厅去吃中饭好不好。

09:41.040 --> 09:44.160
Let's go to the great china for lunch okay.

09:44.160 --> 09:53.920
他们的菜非常好,离这里也近。

09:53.920 --> 09:58.160
他们的菜非常好,而且离这里也近。

09:58.160 --> 10:12.560
还有一个新开的饭馆子,叫西门餐厅,离这里更近。

10:12.560 --> 10:19.280
There's also a newly opened restaurant called the West gate restaurant that's even closer.

10:19.280 --> 10:32.320
虽然没有大华那么好,可是便宜的多。

10:32.320 --> 10:36.720
Even though it's not as good as the great china, it is a lot cheaper.

10:36.720 --> 10:43.120
好,我们到那里去吧。

10:43.120 --> 10:45.680
Alright, let's go there.

10:45.680 --> 10:51.920
今天我请您。

10:51.920 --> 10:54.720
Today I'm going to invite you.

10:54.720 --> 10:59.360
那不好意思。

10:59.360 --> 11:01.280
I can't let you do that.

11:01.280 --> 11:05.760
别客气。

11:05.760 --> 11:08.800
Don't be polite.

11:08.800 --> 11:12.560
Let's go back to Miss Chun's conversation with Miss Sanders.

11:12.560 --> 11:15.600
You'll remember that Miss Sanders had just said that she couldn't let

11:15.600 --> 11:17.680
Miss Chun pay for lunch.

11:17.680 --> 11:20.560
Listen as Miss Chun replies.

11:20.560 --> 11:22.880
Don't be polite, it's nothing.

11:22.880 --> 11:28.880
别客气,没什么。

11:28.880 --> 11:31.920
The food there is both good and cheap.

11:31.920 --> 11:36.960
那个地方的菜又好又便宜。

11:36.960 --> 11:45.040
那个地方的菜又好又便宜。

11:45.040 --> 11:47.760
Any place you suggest is sure to be good.

11:47.760 --> 11:55.040
你说的地方一定好。

11:55.040 --> 11:58.640
Here's how you say both good and cheap.

11:58.640 --> 12:04.800
又好又便宜。

12:04.800 --> 12:09.600
Here's the word for certainly, definitely or sure.

12:09.600 --> 12:13.920
一定。

12:13.920 --> 12:16.240
Listen to the exchange live.

12:16.240 --> 12:18.560
别客气,没什么。

12:18.560 --> 12:22.000
那个地方的菜又好又便宜。

12:22.000 --> 12:25.280
你说的地方一定好。

12:25.280 --> 12:28.560
Again,别客气,没什么。

12:28.560 --> 12:31.600
那个地方的菜又好又便宜。

12:31.600 --> 12:35.040
你说的地方一定好。

12:35.040 --> 12:37.200
Check your comprehension.

12:37.200 --> 12:43.440
别客气,没什么。

12:43.440 --> 12:46.880
Don't be polite, it's nothing.

12:46.880 --> 12:54.560
那个地方的菜又好又便宜。

12:54.560 --> 12:58.800
The food there is both good and cheap.

12:58.800 --> 13:06.960
你说的地方一定好。

13:06.960 --> 13:11.360
Any place you suggest is sure to be good.

13:11.360 --> 13:14.400
The conversation continues.

13:14.400 --> 13:18.720
They have a good many dishes there that you can't find other places.

13:18.720 --> 13:24.880
他们那里有好些菜,别的地方吃不着。

13:24.880 --> 13:29.920
他们那里有好些菜,别的地方吃不着。

13:29.920 --> 13:33.040
Here's the word for a good many.

13:33.040 --> 13:37.440
好些。

13:37.440 --> 13:41.120
You'll remember the element 些 from the words 这些

13:41.120 --> 13:46.240
and 这些,these and those.

13:46.240 --> 13:50.080
Here's the word for other in the sense of different.

13:50.080 --> 13:54.160
别的,别的。

13:54.160 --> 13:56.080
And here's the compound we translated.

13:56.080 --> 13:58.320
Can't find.

13:58.320 --> 14:02.720
吃不着,吃不着。

14:02.720 --> 14:04.240
The ending 着

14:04.240 --> 14:07.840
indicate success in obtaining or getting something.

14:07.840 --> 14:10.080
In this case, Ms. Chen is saying

14:10.080 --> 14:12.080
there are a lot of dishes in this restaurant

14:12.080 --> 14:15.520
that you can't succeed in getting to eat in other places.

14:15.520 --> 14:17.920
Here's the statement live.

14:17.920 --> 14:22.560
他们那里有好些菜,别的地方吃不着。

14:22.560 --> 14:24.240
Again.

14:24.240 --> 14:29.440
他们那里有好些菜,别的地方吃不着。

14:29.440 --> 14:32.080
Check your comprehension.

14:32.080 --> 14:39.920
他们那里有好些菜,别的地方吃不着。

14:39.920 --> 14:48.880
They have a good many dishes there that you can't find other places.

14:48.880 --> 14:50.880
Here's another brief conversation,

14:50.880 --> 14:54.880
reviewing the material just introduced.

14:54.880 --> 15:00.880
我家附近的菜市场很小,有好些东西买不着。

15:00.880 --> 15:04.880
我得到别的菜市场去买。

15:04.880 --> 15:07.920
这附近有没有菜市场?

15:07.920 --> 15:15.920
有,从这里一直走,过三条街就有一个很大的菜市场。

15:15.920 --> 15:19.920
他们那里的东西又好又便宜。

15:19.920 --> 15:23.760
今天下午我一定去看看。

15:23.760 --> 15:25.920
Again.

15:25.920 --> 15:31.280
我家附近的菜市场很小,有好些东西买不着。

15:31.280 --> 15:34.240
我得到别的菜市场去买。

15:34.240 --> 15:36.720
这附近有没有菜市场?

15:36.720 --> 15:42.720
有,从这里一直走,过三条街就有一个很大的菜市场。

15:42.720 --> 15:46.720
他们那里的东西又好又便宜。

15:46.720 --> 15:50.720
今天下午我一定去看看。

15:50.720 --> 15:54.720
So if you understood what was said,

15:54.720 --> 16:02.720
我家附近的菜市场很小。

16:02.720 --> 16:06.720
The market near my house is very small.

16:06.720 --> 16:14.720
有好些东西买不着。

16:14.720 --> 16:18.720
There are a lot of things I can't buy there.

16:18.720 --> 16:26.720
我得到别的菜市场去买。

16:26.720 --> 16:30.720
I have to go to another market to buy them.

16:30.720 --> 16:40.720
这附近有没有菜市场?

16:40.720 --> 16:48.720
有,从这里一直走。

16:48.720 --> 16:52.720
Yes, from here walk straight ahead.

16:52.720 --> 16:58.720
过三条街就有一个很大的菜市场。

16:58.720 --> 17:02.720
I have to go to another market to buy them.

17:02.720 --> 17:06.720
I have to go to another market to buy them.

17:06.720 --> 17:14.720
我得到别的菜市场去买。

17:14.720 --> 17:18.720
I have to go to another market to buy them.

17:18.720 --> 17:26.720
我得到别的菜市场去买。

17:26.720 --> 17:32.720
I will definitely go take a look this afternoon.

17:32.720 --> 17:37.720
Here is a live conversation reviewing the material introduced on this tape.

17:37.720 --> 17:40.720
You will hear the conversation twice live.

17:40.720 --> 17:43.720
The conversation will be repeated at the beginning of the C2 tape,

林科长吗?我是美国银行的范美丽。

18:00.720 --> 18:04.720
范女士您好,好久没见。

18:04.720 --> 18:08.720
好久没见,您怎么样?忙吗?

18:08.720 --> 18:10.720
不怎么忙。

18:10.720 --> 18:14.720
林科长,我有点事要和您当面谈谈。

您明天有时间吗?

范女士,有一个新开的四川饭馆子离我们这里非常近。

18:25.720 --> 18:28.720
我明天请您吃中饭,好吗?

18:28.720 --> 18:32.720
我们吃饭的时候可以谈谈。

那不好意思,您已经请过我好些次了。

18:36.720 --> 18:38.720
这次我请您。

18:38.720 --> 18:41.720
别客气,我请您。

18:41.720 --> 18:46.720
我虽然还没去过,可是李大年先生去吃过了。

18:46.720 --> 18:55.720
他说,这个饭馆子的菜有那个湖南饭馆子的菜那么好,更便宜。

18:55.720 --> 18:59.720
也有好些菜,别的地方吃不着。

18:59.720 --> 19:04.720
是吗?又好又便宜,一定得去吃一次。

19:04.720 --> 19:07.720
好,明天几点钟见?

19:07.720 --> 19:13.720
十二点半,怎么样?对您合适吗?

19:13.720 --> 19:15.720
十二点半,好。

19:15.720 --> 19:18.720
那么我到您那边去。

Again。

19:25.720 --> 19:29.720

林科长,我有点事要和您当面谈谈,您明天有时间吗?有。

19:47.720 --> 19:54.720
哎,范女士,有一个新开的四川饭馆子,离我们这里非常近。

19:54.720 --> 19:57.720
我明天请您吃中饭,好吗?

19:57.720 --> 20:00.720
我们吃饭的时候可以谈谈。

那不好意思,您已经请过我好些次了,这次我请您。

20:06.720 --> 20:08.720
别客气,我请您。

20:08.720 --> 20:13.720
我虽然还没去过,可是李大年先生去吃过了。

20:13.720 --> 20:21.720
他说,这个饭馆子的菜有那个湖南饭馆子的菜那么好,更便宜。

20:21.720 --> 20:25.720
也有好些菜,别的地方吃不着。

20:25.720 --> 20:30.720
是吗?又好又便宜,一定得去吃一次。

20:30.720 --> 20:33.720
好,明天几点钟见。

那么我到您那边去。

20:43.720 --> 20:48.720
好,我在楼下等您。好,再见。再见。

20:48.720 --> 20:55.720
继续评论,看看您能否谈谈谈谈谈谈谈谈谈谈。

20:55.720 --> 21:05.720
第一,大华的菜又好又便宜。

21:05.720 --> 21:09.720
大华的菜又好又便宜。

21:25.720 --> 21:32.720
你说的地方一定好。

21:32.720 --> 21:36.720
任何地方你推荐的地方一定好。

21:36.720 --> 21:50.720
第二,东门的菜没有大华的菜那么好。

21:50.720 --> 21:56.720
食物在楼下吃不太好,就像食物在中国。

21:56.720 --> 22:06.720
虽然不太好,可是离这里近。

22:06.720 --> 22:11.720
即使不太好,也有离这里近。

22:11.720 --> 22:25.720
还有一个新开的饭馆,离我们这里更近。

22:25.720 --> 22:38.720
他们那里的菜非常好。

第三,我们到东门餐厅去吃东饭,好不好。

23:17.720 --> 23:25.720
如果你觉得你准备好了,去到P1的饭馆。

23:25.720 --> 23:28.720
这是饭馆的结尾。

23:28.720 --> 23:30.720
结尾设备模式。

23:30.720 --> 23:48.720
结尾设备模式。
