0	16000	Standard Chinese, A Modular Approach, Money Module, Unit 5, Comprehension Tape 1, This unit is set in the PRC. On this tape, you'll learn to understand questions and answers used in changing money.
16000	28000	Ms. Novak is at the front desk of her hotel in Peking. She has a $10 bill in Chinese currency that she wants to break. Listen. Please give me two fives.
28000	36000	请你给我两张五块的。
36000	42000	Here's the counter for bills and other flat things. You've already seen it as a counter for maps.
42000	47000	张
47000	54000	We might translate 两张 as two sheets. Here's how he says five's.
54000	59000	五块的。五块的。
59000	76000	Adding the marker 德 to 五块 changes it from an amount to something characterized by that amount. Besides referring to a $5 bill, the expression 五块的 could refer to a $5 item, that is, a $5 one.
76000	92000	You've already had the marker 德 used in a similar way in the expression 红的, red ones. So we could translate 两张五块的 word for word as two sheets, five dollar ones. Listen to Ms. Novak's request live.
92000	100000	请你给我两张五块的。
100000	108000	Check your comprehension.请你给我两张五块的。
108000	118000	Please give me two fives. It would have been more tactful for Ms. Novak to have used a less direct approach, such as this. Listen.
118000	123000	Sorry to bother you. I have a 10 here.
123000	131000	麻烦你,我这儿有一张10块的。
131000	137000	Here's the verb to bother.麻烦。麻烦。
137000	142000	The expression 麻烦你, really means I'm bothering you.
142000	156000	Notice that Ms. Novak refers to herself in terms of location with the phrase 我这儿, which means something like here where I am. So that the verb 有 has no subject and is being used in its impersonal sense. There is.
156000	162000	We can't of course translate the sentence here where I am. There is a $10 bill.
162000	169000	Listen to Ms. Novak's polite opening live.麻烦你,我这儿有一张10块的。
169000	175000	Again,麻烦你,我这儿有一张10块的。
175000	184000	Check your comprehension.麻烦你,我这儿有一张10块的。
184000	195000	Sorry to bother you. I have a 10 here. The indirect approach continues. Listen. Please change it for me.
195000	201000	请你给我换换。请你给我换换。
201000	207000	Here's the verb to change.换。换。
207000	214000	Here it is reduplicated to soften the request.换换。换换。
214000	218000	Notice the neutral tone of the second syllable.
218000	225000	In this sentence, the verb 给 is translated not by the English verb to give, but as the preposition for.
225000	232000	There is a logical connection between the meanings to give and for, but it is best to keep the two functions distinct.
232000	241000	The main verb of this sentence, of course, is 换换. Listen to the request live.请你给我换换。
241000	245000	Again,请你给我换换。
245000	251000	Check your comprehension.请你给我换换。
251000	260000	Please change it for me. Here's another live exchange using the prepositional verb 给.
260000	271000	请你给我买点点心。好。Again,请你给我买点点心。好。
271000	277000	Check your comprehension.请你给我买点点心。
277000	284000	Would you buy me a snack, please?好。
284000	292000	Okay. Listen as Miss Novak continues getting her change.
292000	300000	How do you want to change it?您要怎么换?您要怎么换?
300000	311000	Would you give me two fives, please?请你给我两张五块的吧。请你给我两张五块的吧。
311000	319000	Here's the adverb 好。怎么?怎么?
319000	329000	Notice that the adverb 怎么好 comes before the main verb 换 to change, not before the auxiliary verb 要 to want to.
329000	345000	Here's the exchange live.您要怎么换?请你给我两张五块的吧。Again,您要怎么换?请你给我两张五块的吧。
345000	352000	Check your comprehension.您要怎么换?
352000	364000	How do you want to change it?请你给我两张五块的吧。 Would you give me two fives, please?
364000	380000	Here's a live exchange on the same theme. Listen.麻烦您,请你给我换换这张十块的。好,这是一张五块的,五张一块的。
380000	391000	Again,麻烦您,请你给我换换这张十块的。好,这是一张五块的,五张一块的。
391000	402000	Check your comprehension.麻烦您,请你给我换换这张十块的。
402000	409000	Sorry to bother you. Please change this ten for me.好,这是一张五块的。
409000	420000	Here's a live exchange on the same theme.麻烦您,请你给我换换这张十块的。好,这是一张五块的,五张一块的。

433000	446000	请你给我换换。您要怎么换?您要两张五块的,还是一张五块的,五张一块的?
446000	462000	请你给我一张五块的,五张一块的吧。好。Again,麻烦您,我这儿有一张十块的,请你给我换换。
462000	472000	您要怎么换?您要两张五块的,还是一张五块的,五张一块的?
472000	478000	请你给我一张五块的,五张一块的吧。好。
478000	488000	Check your comprehension.麻烦您,我这儿有一张十块的。
488000	498000	Sorry to bother you, I have a ten here.请你给我换换。
498000	507000	Please change it for me.您要怎么换?
507000	517000	How do you want to change it?您要两张五块的,还是一张五块的,五张一块的?
517000	535000	Do you want two fives or one five and five ones?请你给我一张五块的,五张一块的吧。
535000	543000	Would you give me a five and five ones please?好。
543000	553000	Alright. The conversation between Ms. Novak and the clerk could have ended like this. Thank you.
553000	563000	谢谢。谢谢。You're welcome.不客气。不客气。
563000	571000	Here's the expression for your welcome.不客气。不客气。
571000	580000	More literally, the expression不客气 means don't be polite. The English expression you're welcome accepts thanks.
580000	589000	The Chinese expression不客气 declines thanks, saying in effect, you don't have to be so polite. I'm not worthy of it.
589000	594000	Here's the exchange live.谢谢。不客气。
594000	600000	Again,谢谢。不客气。Check your comprehension.谢谢。
600000	616000	Thank you.不客气。You're welcome. Mr. Anderson is on a trip to Canton and is about to pay for a purchase at the Dongfang Hotel there. Listen.

626000	634000	I'm sorry. We don't.对不起我们不收。对不起我们不收。
634000	641000	Here's the verb to accept.收。收。
641000	647000	Other meanings of收 are to receive, to collect, and to keep.
647000	654000	Here's the word for US currency.美金。美金。
654000	667000	The original meaning of金 is gold. Here it means currency. Listen to the exchange live.你们收美金吗?对不起我们不收。
667000	682000	Again,你们收美金吗?对不起我们不收。Check your comprehension.你们收美金吗?
682000	688000	Do you accept US currency?对不起我们不收。
688000	696000	I'm sorry. We don't. The conversation continues. Listen.
696000	711000	Well, where do I change it?Is there a bank here?在哪儿换呢?这儿有没有银行?在哪儿换呢?这儿有没有银行?
711000	722000	There is. The bank is right over there.有银行就在那儿。有银行就在那儿。
722000	730000	The marker 呢 at the end of Mr. Anderson's question 在哪儿换呢?shows that it follows from the clerk's suggestion.
730000	739000	We translate this 呢 loosely as well. Mr. Anderson would not have been able to start the conversation by asking 在哪儿换呢?
739000	746000	any more than he could start it in English with. Well, you've had this usage once before in the sentence.
746000	758000	Nina. Notice that in the choice question 呢,这儿有没有银行?the alternative affirmative and negative forms of the verb both come before the object.
758000	764000	This is as common as the way you've had already, where the negative form follows the object.
764000	770000	Notice also in the sense that the place word 这儿 comes before the verb 有 in Chinese.
770000	785000	But in English, the place word here comes at the end of the sentence. Listen to the exchange live. 在哪儿换呢?这儿有没有银行?有银行就在那儿。
785000	793000	Again 在哪儿换呢?这儿有没有银行?有银行就在那儿。
793000	804000	Check your comprehension. 在哪儿换呢?这儿有没有银行?
804000	815000	Well, where do I change it? Is there a bank here? 有银行就在那儿。
815000	822000	There is. The bank is right over there. Now Mr. Anderson approaches a teller. Listen.
822000	835000	May I ask, is it here that I change money? 请问,是不是在这儿换钱?
835000	845000	Yes, it is here that you change it. 是,是在这儿换。
845000	862000	As you'll remember, the marker 这儿 is used to indicate the center of interest of a sentence, which in this exchange is the location phrase. The marker 这儿 may be translated, it is, as in 是在这儿换钱, it is here that you change money.
862000	869000	So far, you've heard the marker 这儿 only in past time senses, accompanied by the marker 这儿。
869000	875000	我是在加州生的。 Literally, it was in California that I was born.
875000	882000	In this exchange, however, Mr. Anderson is talking about something he wants to do in the future, so the marker 这儿 is not used.
882000	888000	The question in this exchange is a choice type question. 是不是在这儿换钱?
888000	896000	Literally, is it or isn't it here that I change money? Or in more idiomatic English, is it here that I change money?
896000	903000	Here's the exchange live. 请问,是不是在这儿换钱?
903000	911000	是,是在这儿换。 Again. 请问,是不是在这儿换钱?
911000	924000	是,是在这儿换。 Check your comprehension. 请问,是不是在这儿换钱?
924000	937000	May I ask, is it here that I change money? 是,是在这儿换。 Yes, it is here that you change it.
937000	944000	Here's another exchange using the marker 这儿, without the marker 这儿。 Listen to it live.
944000	953000	它是不是明天来? 它不是明天来,它是后天来。 Again.

1020000	1027000	And here's the word for a check. 支票。支票。
1027000	1033000	You'll remember that the marker 这儿 changes an amount of money to something worth that amount.
1033000	1043000	The phrase 一百块美金的旅行支票, therefore, refers to a traveler's check or several traveler's checks worth a hundred dollars US.
1043000	1053000	Listen to the exchange live. 你要换多少? 我这儿有100块美金的旅行支票。
