Standard Chinese, A Modular Approach

00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,200
Money Module, Unit 6, Comprehension Tape 1

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,700
This unit is set in the ROC

4
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:14,200
On this tape, you'll learn how to understand more questions and answers about changing money

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,600
as well as questions and answers about opening and closing times.

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,500
Mr. Perez is stopping in the town of Xindru

7
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:24,100
on his way to study Chinese in Taichung.

8
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:28,500
He tries to change some money in his small, traditional style hotel.

9
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:34,400
Listen, may I ask, can you ask currency to be changed here?

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,700
请问,你们这里可以换美金吗?

11
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:43,100
请问,你们这里可以换美金吗?

12
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:45,900
I'm sorry, that's not possible.

13
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:51,600
对不起,不可以。

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,100
Here's the auxiliary verb, may.

15
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:57,700
可以,可以。

16
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:02,500
Although the basic meaning of可以 is that something is permitted or possible,

17
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:06,300
you'll often find that can will be a better English translation.

18
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:09,800
You'll remember that你们这里 is really a place phrase,

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,000
meaning something like your place,

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,100
so that a more literal translation of the question would be,

21
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:19,300
as for your place, may one change American currency?

22
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:21,800
Listen to the exchange live.

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,600
请问,你们这里可以换美金吗?

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,600
对不起,不可以。

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,200
Again.

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,800
请问,你们这里可以换美金吗?

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,400
对不起,不可以。

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,800
Check your comprehension.

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:45,100
请问,你们这里可以换美金吗?

30
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:49,600
May I ask, can US currency be changed here?

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,100
对不起,不可以。

32
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,400
I'm sorry, that's not possible.

33
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400
The conversation continues.

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,700
Listen, how about traveler's checks?

35
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:09,800
旅行支票呢?

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,600
That's not possible either.

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,800
You have to change them at the Bank of Taiwan.

38
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:24,800
也不可以,你得在台湾银行换。

39
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,400
Here's the auxiliary verb must or have to.

40
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,300
得

41
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:35,300
Listen to the exchange live.

42
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:36,900
旅行支票呢?

43
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:40,900
也不可以,你得在台湾银行换。

44
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:42,300
Again.

45
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:43,900
旅行支票呢?

46
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:48,300
也不可以,你得在台湾银行换。

47
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:50,500
Check your comprehension.

48
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:54,500
旅行支票呢?

49
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:57,700
How about traveler's checks?

50
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:06,900
也不可以,你得在台湾银行换。

51
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:08,800
That's not possible either.

52
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,500
You have to change them at the Bank of Taiwan.

53
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:14,300
The conversation continues.

54
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:18,300
Listen, when does the bank open?

55
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:24,300
银行什么时候开门?

56
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:26,500
It opens at nine o'clock.

57
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:31,900
九点钟开门。

58
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,700
Here's the phrase used to refer to the start of business.

59
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:37,300
Literally, to open the doors.

60
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:41,500
开门。

61
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:46,900
The verb 开, of course, is to open, and 门 is door.

62
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:49,900
Here's the counter referring to hours on the clock.

63
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:53,700
点。点。

64
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,900
And here's the word for clock.

65
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:59,500
钟。

66
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:02,500
Nine o'clock is 九点钟。

67
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:06,100
You may think of 钟 as being o'clock.

68
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:08,500
Sometimes, 钟 is left off.

69
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:09,900
九点。

70
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:14,900
Just as we sometimes leave off o'clock, as in, it's nine.

71
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:17,300
Listen to the exchange live.

72
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:19,500
银行什么时候开门?

73
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:21,700
九点钟开门。

74
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:22,900
Again.

75
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:25,100
银行什么时候开门?

76
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:27,500
九点钟开门。

77
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:29,300
Check your comprehension.

78
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:34,500
银行什么时候开门?

79
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:36,900
When does the bank open?

80
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:41,100
九点钟开门。

81
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,900
It opens at nine o'clock.

82
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:45,700
The conversation continues.

83
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:47,500
Listen.

84
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:49,500
What time does it close?

85
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:52,100
几点钟关门。

86
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:54,700
几点钟关门。

87
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:56,900
It closes at three o'clock.

88
00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:01,700
三点钟关门。

89
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:06,900
Here's the phrase referring to the close of business, literally, to close the doors.

90
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:10,500
关门。

91
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:15,300
The phrase 关门 can also refer to going out of business altogether.

92
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:21,100
In this conversation, of course, the context makes it clear that you're referring to a closing time.

93
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:24,100
Listen to the exchange live.

94
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:27,900
几点钟关门。

95
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,500
Again.

96
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:33,500
几点钟关门。

97
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,500
Check your comprehension.

98
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:39,500
几点钟关门。

99
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,500
What time does it close?

100
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:46,700
三点钟关门。

101
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:49,700
It closes at three o'clock.

102
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:51,700
The conversation continues.

103
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:53,300
Listen.

104
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:54,900
What time is it now?

105
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:58,100
I can still change money, I suppose.

106
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:03,700
现在几点钟还可以换吧。

107
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:08,300
现在几点钟还可以换吧。

108
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:10,300
It's half past two now.

109
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:13,900
You can still change money.

110
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:18,100
现在两点半还可以换。

111
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:22,300
现在两点半还可以换。

112
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:25,500
Notice that the marker 吧 is here added to a question.

113
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:27,100
还可以换吧。

114
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:29,900
I can still change money, I suppose.

115
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:35,100
The marker 吧 is added to a question when you're pretty sure the answer is going to be yes.

116
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:40,700
This suggestive quality of 吧 is translated here by the expression I suppose.

117
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:42,500
Here's the word for half.

118
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:47,100
半。

119
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:50,700
half past two is 两点半。

120
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:54,100
Although in English we seldom say half past two o'clock,

121
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:57,300
in Chinese you may hear 两点半钟,

122
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:00,900
since any clock time expression may end with 钟。

123
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:03,300
Listen to the exchange live.

124
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:06,900
现在几点钟还可以换吧。

125
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:11,100
现在两点半还可以换。

126
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:12,500
Again.

127
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:15,700
现在几点钟还可以换吧。

128
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:19,700
现在两点半还可以换。

129
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:21,900
Check your comprehension.

130
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:29,900
现在几点钟还可以换吧。

131
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:31,500
What time is it now?

132
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:35,700
I can still change money, I suppose.

133
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:43,700
现在两点半还可以换。

134
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:45,700
It's half past two now.

135
00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:48,900
You can still change money.

136
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:52,900
Now let's back up and have Mr. Perez approach the clerk for the first time again

137
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:56,300
for a similar conversation live.

138
00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:57,700
麻烦你。

139
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,700
我得换点美金。

140
00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:01,900
在哪里可以换?

141
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:04,300
在台湾银行可以换。

142
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:08,100
请问台湾银行在哪里?

143
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:11,700
您看这张地图就在这里。

144
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:14,500
现在银行还开门吧。

145
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,700
哎呦,现在三点半了。

146
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:21,500
银行三点钟关门。

147
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:25,900
现在已经关了。

148
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:27,500
明天几点钟开门?

149
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:29,700
九点。

150
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:31,700
好,我明天换吧。

151
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:33,500
谢谢。

152
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:35,500
不客气。

153
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:37,300
Again.

154
00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:38,700
麻烦你。

155
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:41,700
我得换点美金,在哪里可以换?

156
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:44,700
在台湾银行可以换。

157
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:47,700
请问台湾银行在哪里?

158
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:51,700
您看这张地图就在这里。

159
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,700
现在银行还开门吧。

160
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:57,700
哎呦,现在三点半了。

161
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:00,700
银行三点钟关门。

162
00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:03,700
现在已经关门了。

163
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:05,700
明天几点钟开门?

164
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:07,700
九点。

165
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:08,700
我明天换吧。

166
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:09,700
谢谢。

167
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:11,700
不客气。

168
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,700
Check your comprehension.

169
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:15,700
麻烦你。

170
00:09:15,700 --> 00:09:18,700
我得换点美金。

171
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:23,700
Sorry to bother you.

172
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:26,700
I have to change some American money.

173
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:30,700
在哪里可以换?

174
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:33,700
Where can I change it?

175
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:39,700
在台湾银行可以换。

176
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:42,700
You can change it at the Bank of Taiwan.

177
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:49,700
请问台湾银行在哪里?

178
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:52,700
May I ask, where is the Bank of Taiwan?

179
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:59,700
您看这张地图就在这里。

180
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:01,700
Look at this map.

181
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:03,700
It's right here.

182
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:09,700
现在银行还开门吧。

183
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:13,700
The bank is still open now, I suppose.

184
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:20,700
哎呦,现在三点半了。

185
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:24,700
Oh dear, it's half past three now.

186
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:30,700
银行三点钟关门。

187
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:34,700
The bank closes at three o'clock.

188
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:39,700
现在已经关了。

189
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:42,700
It's already closed now.

190
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:48,700
明天几点钟开门?

191
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,700
What time does it open tomorrow?

192
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:54,700
九点。

193
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:56,700
Nine.

194
00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:59,700
好,我明天换吧。

195
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:04,700
谢谢。

196
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:07,700
好,我明天换吧。

197
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:08,700
谢谢。

198
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:11,700
不客气。

199
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:14,700
您欢迎。

200
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:17,700
The next day, Mr. Perez is at the bank.

201
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,700
听说,我想换一些钱去台币。

202
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:25,700
Here's a hundred dollars U.S. in traveler's checks.

203
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:28,700
我要换一点台币。

204
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:32,700
这是一百块美金的旅行支票。

205
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:34,700
我要换一点台币。

206
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:38,700
这是一百块美金的旅行支票。

207
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:43,700
Certainly, one U.S. dollar is 38 dollars台币。

208
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:50,700
好,一块美金换38块台币。

209
00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:55,700
好,一块美金换38块台币。

210
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:57,700
Here's the word for Taiwan currency.

211
00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:00,700
台币。

212
00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:03,700
台币。

213
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:06,700
Let's compare the sentence,我要换一点台币。

214
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:11,700
With a very similar sentence,我要换一点美金。

215
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,700
The sentence,我要换一点美金 can mean,

216
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:17,700
I want to change some American currency,

217
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:22,700
in which what follows the verb 换 is the currency to be changed.

218
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:26,700
But in the new sentence from the exchange,我要换一点台币。

219
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:31,700
What follows the verb 换 is the currency to be changed into.

220
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:33,700
Literally, it means something like,

221
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:38,700
I want to change some foreign currency into Taiwan currency.

222
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:43,700
Notice that in the two phrases 换美金 and 换台币,

223
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:47,700
there is no clue as to the direction of the transaction.

224
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:51,700
It's only the situation which tells us that both refer to changing US currency

225
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:54,700
into Taiwan currency rather than the reverse.

226
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:58,700
If this seems unlikely, think of our own verb to rent.

227
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:00,700
The sentence, he rented the room,

228
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:04,700
maybe referring either to the landlord or to the tenant,

229
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,700
although in context it should be clear which.

230
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:10,700
Listen to the exchange live.

231
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:12,700
我要换一点台币。

232
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:15,700
这是一百块美金的旅行支票。

233
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:20,700
好,一块美金换三十八块台币。

234
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:23,700
Again,我要换一点台币。

235
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:27,700
这是一百块美金的旅行支票。

236
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:32,700
好,一块美金换三十八块台币。

237
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,700
Check your comprehension.

238
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:37,700
我要换一点台币。

239
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:41,700
这是一百块美金的旅行支票。

240
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:49,700
I want to change some money into 台币。

241
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:53,700
Here's a hundred dollars US in traveler's checks.

242
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:58,700
好,一块美金换三十八块台币。

243
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:07,700
Certainly, one US dollar is 38 dollars台币。

244
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:11,700
The conversation continues. Listen.

245
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:15,700
Here are five twenty dollar traveler's checks.

246
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,700
这是五张二十块的旅行支票。

247
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:23,700
这是五张二十块的旅行支票。

248
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:27,700
Please wait a moment. I'll be right back.

249
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:31,700
请您等一等,我就来。

250
00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:35,700
请您等一等,我就来。

251
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:37,700
Here's the verb to wait.

252
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:41,700
等,等。

253
00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:45,700
We've talked about the reduplication of verbs in Chinese.

254
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:49,700
Besides simple reduplication, such as in 看看,

255
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:54,700
there is reduplication with the number one inserted as in 看一看.

256
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,700
Both forms of reduplication have the same effect on the meaning,

257
00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:00,700
making the verb more tentative.

258
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:03,700
We may translate 等一等 as wait a moment,

259
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:08,700
rather than just wait, to try to capture the softening.

260
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:12,700
After asking Mr. Perez to wait, the teller turns to go to the desk behind the counter,

261
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:16,700
saying 我就来,I'll be right back.

262
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:21,700
In this context, the verb lie is understood to mean come back,

263
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:25,700
and the adverb 舊,which we have again translated right,

264
00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:29,700
means immediately. Listen to the exchange live.

265
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:33,700
这是五张二十块的旅行支票。

266
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:36,700
请您等一等,我就来。

267
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:40,700
Again,这是五张二十块的旅行支票。

268
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:44,700
请您等一等,我就来。

269
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:47,700
Check your comprehension.

270
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:51,700
这是五张二十块的旅行支票。

271
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:58,700
Here are five twenty dollar travelers checks.

272
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:02,700
请您等一等,我就来。

273
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:08,700
Please wait a moment. I'll be right back.

274
00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:12,700
After the teller completes the paperwork,

275
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:17,700
she hands Mr. Perez three thousand eight hundred dollars Tai B in hundred dollar bills.

276
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:20,700
Now listen as the conversation continues.

277
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,700
I want some small bills.

278
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:28,700
我要点小票子。我要点小票子。

279
00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:33,700
Please change this hundred dollar bill for me. Would that be all right?

280
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:38,700
这张一百块的,请你给我换换,行不行?

281
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:43,700
这张一百块的,请你给我换换,行不行?

282
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:48,700
All right. I'll give you nine tens and two fives.

283
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:54,700
行,给您九张十块的,两张五块的。

284
00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:58,700
Here's the word for bill in the sense of paper money.

285
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:02,700
票子。票子。

286
00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:06,700
And here's a verb which means to be all right.

287
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:10,700
行,行。

288
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:14,700
Listen to the exchange live.

289
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,700
我要点小票子。

290
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:23,700
这张一百块的,请你给我换换,行不行?

291
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:28,700
行,给您九张十块的,两张五块的。

292
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:31,700
Again.

293
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:36,700
我要点小票子。这张一百块的,请你给我换换,行不行?

294
00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:42,700
行,给您九张十块的,两张五块的。

295
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:45,700
Check your comprehension.

296
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:50,700
我要点小票子。

297
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:54,700
I want some small bills.

298
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:59,700
这张一百块的,请你给我换换,行不行?

299
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:04,700
Please change this hundred dollar bill for me. Would that be all right?

300
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:09,700
行,给您九张十块的,两张五块的。

301
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:14,700
I'll give you nine tens and two fives.

302
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:20,700
两张五块的。

303
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:25,700
All right. I'll give you nine tens and two fives.

304
00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:29,700
The conversation concludes. Listen.

305
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:32,700
Sorry to have bothered you.

306
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:36,700
麻烦你了,麻烦你了。

307
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:38,700
It's nothing.

308
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:43,700
没什么,没什么。

309
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:46,700
I don't want anything else.

310
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:50,700
So,没什么,means literally, there isn't anything.

311
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:57,700
That is, presumably, what I did wasn't anything calling for your making such a polite remark.

312
00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:00,700
Listen to the exchange live.

313
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:05,700
麻烦你了,没什么。

314
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:08,700
Again.

315
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:13,700
麻烦你了,没什么。

316
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:16,700
麻烦你了,没什么。

317
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:19,700
Check your comprehension.

318
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:23,700
麻烦你了。

319
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:29,700
Sorry to have bothered you,没什么。

320
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:32,700
It's nothing.

321
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:36,700
Now listen to someone else getting change live.

322
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:41,700
我要点小票子,对不起,麻烦你。

323
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:44,700
请给我点小票子,行不行?

324
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:49,700
行,这是十张十块的。Again.

325
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:54,700
我要点小票子,对不起,麻烦你。

326
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:57,700
请给我点小票子,行不行?

327
00:19:57,700 --> 00:20:03,700
行,这是十张十块的。Check your comprehension.

328
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:08,700
我要点小票子。

329
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:11,700
I want some small bills.

330
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:16,700
对不起,麻烦你。

331
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:20,700
Excuse me, sorry to bother you.

332
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:27,700
请你给我点小票子,行不行?

333
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:29,700
Please give me some small bills.

334
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:32,700
Would that be all right?

335
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:38,700
这是十张十块的。

336
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:42,700
All right, here's ten tens.

337
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:46,700
Here's a live dialogue reviewing what you've covered on this tape.

338
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:51,700
A couple of days later, Mr. Perez is at the front desk of his hotel.

339
00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:53,700
Listen.

340
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:58,700
我得换点台币,星期六可以换吗?

341
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:08,700
可以,银行九点钟开门,现在九点半,银行已经开门了。

342
00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:11,700
今天几点钟关门?

343
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:15,700
今天十二点钟关门。

344
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:18,700
好,谢谢你。

345
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:23,700
没什么。Again.

346
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:27,700
我得换点台币,星期六可以换吗?

347
00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:35,700
可以,银行九点钟开门,现在九点半,银行已经开门了。

348
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:38,700
今天几点钟关门?

349
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:41,700
今天十二点钟关门。

350
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,700
好,谢谢你。

351
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:46,700
没什么。

352
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:49,700
Check your comprehension.

353
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:54,700
我得换点台币。

354
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:58,700
我得换点台币。

355
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:03,700
星期六可以换吗?

356
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:13,700
可以,银行九点钟开门。

357
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:17,700
Yes, you can. The bank opens at nine o'clock.

358
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:22,700
现在九点半。

359
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:25,700
It's half past nine now.

360
00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:31,700
银行已经开门了。

361
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:34,700
The bank has already opened.

362
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:40,700
