00:00.000 --> 00:03.440
Standard Chinese, a modular approach.

00:03.440 --> 00:08.800
Transportation Module, Unit 2, Comprehension Tape 1.

00:08.800 --> 00:11.360
This unit is set in the PRC.

00:11.360 --> 00:14.640
On this tape, you'll learn to understand more questions and answers

00:14.640 --> 00:17.920
used in going somewhere by bus.

00:17.920 --> 00:21.520
Jeffrey Wilson, a Canadian student studying in Peking,

00:21.520 --> 00:26.000
is going with some fellow students to see an exhibition of foreign goods.

00:26.000 --> 00:28.800
After doing some shopping on Wang Fujin Boulevard,

00:28.800 --> 00:32.320
the students are now gathering to go on to the exhibition.

00:32.320 --> 00:37.360
Listen as Jeffrey asks some questions about how they will be going.

00:37.360 --> 00:41.600
Is there a direct bus to the exhibition hall?

00:50.320 --> 00:53.040
Here's the word for exhibition hall.

00:53.040 --> 00:55.280
展覽館.

00:55.280 --> 00:57.680
展覽館.

00:57.680 --> 01:00.560
And here's the word for direct bus.

01:00.560 --> 01:02.640
直達車.

01:02.640 --> 01:05.040
直達車.

01:05.040 --> 01:07.840
Listen to the whole exchange live.

01:07.840 --> 01:10.960
到展覽館,有沒有直達車?

01:10.960 --> 01:12.720
沒有.

01:12.720 --> 01:14.160
Again.

01:14.160 --> 01:17.360
到展覽館,有沒有直達車?

01:17.360 --> 01:19.200
沒有.

01:19.200 --> 01:21.360
Check your comprehension.

01:21.360 --> 01:27.520
到展覽館,有沒有直達車?

01:27.520 --> 01:31.680
Is there a direct bus to the exhibition hall?

01:31.680 --> 01:34.080
没有.

01:34.080 --> 01:36.320
No.

01:36.320 --> 01:39.040
The conversation continues.

01:39.040 --> 01:42.480
What bus do you take to get there?

01:50.480 --> 01:55.520
Notice that after the word 车,the marker 啊 is pronounced 呀.

01:55.520 --> 01:59.920
The marker 啊 usually blends with the end of the word before it.

01:59.920 --> 02:05.200
After word ending in the letter n,for instance,it sounds like 呢.

02:05.200 --> 02:08.080
你是哪的人呢?

02:08.080 --> 02:18.080
After words ending with the letters A or E,or with the combinations UO or WO,the semigal Y is added,and it's pronounced 呀.

02:18.080 --> 02:20.400
Here are some examples.

02:20.400 --> 02:22.720
你喜歡他呀?

02:22.720 --> 02:25.920
你喜歡他呀?

02:25.920 --> 02:28.720
你住在大理街呀?

02:28.720 --> 02:32.160
你住在大理街呀?

02:32.160 --> 02:35.040
他現在在德國呀?

02:35.040 --> 02:38.640
他現在在德國呀?

02:38.640 --> 02:43.760
You'll only be required to understand this variety of the marker,not to produce it.

02:43.760 --> 02:46.880
Listen to the whole exchange live.

02:46.880 --> 02:49.840
到那去坐幾路車呀?

02:49.840 --> 02:51.760
坐一路車.

02:51.760 --> 02:54.800
Check your comprehension.

02:54.800 --> 02:58.800
到那去坐幾路車呀?

02:58.800 --> 03:01.760
What bus do you take to get there?

03:01.760 --> 03:05.760
坐一路車.

03:05.760 --> 03:09.760
Take the number one bus.

03:09.760 --> 03:11.760
Here's the rest of the answer.

03:11.760 --> 03:15.760
Take it to Xidan and change buses.

03:15.760 --> 03:19.760
坐大西车,take it to Xidan and change buses.

03:19.760 --> 03:23.760
坐大西單,緩車.

03:23.760 --> 03:27.760
坐大西單,緩車.

03:27.760 --> 03:31.760
Notice that in this sentence,the dial phrase follows the main verb.

03:31.760 --> 03:35.760
Here's the name of the neighborhood in the western part of Beijing.

03:35.760 --> 03:39.760
西單,西單.

03:39.760 --> 03:45.760
The verb 換 is used for changing from one bus to another,as well as changing from one currency to another.

03:45.760 --> 03:47.760
Here's the sentence live.

03:47.760 --> 03:51.760
坐到西單,緩車.

03:51.760 --> 03:55.760
Again,坐到西單,緩車.

03:55.760 --> 03:59.760
Check your comprehension.

03:59.760 --> 04:03.760
坐到西單,緩車.

04:03.760 --> 04:07.760
Take it to Xidan and change buses.

04:07.760 --> 04:11.760
The conversation continues live.

04:11.760 --> 04:15.760
換幾路車.

04:15.760 --> 04:19.760
換十五路車,一直坐到渣郎館.

04:19.760 --> 04:23.760
Again,換幾路車.

04:23.760 --> 04:27.760
換十五路車,一直坐到渣郎館.

04:27.760 --> 04:31.760
Check your comprehension.

04:31.760 --> 04:35.760
換幾路車.

04:35.760 --> 04:39.760
What bus do you change to?

04:39.760 --> 04:45.760
換十五路車,一直坐到渣郎館.

04:45.760 --> 04:51.760
You change to the number fifteen bus and take it straight to the exhibition hall.

04:51.760 --> 04:55.760
The conversation continues.

04:55.760 --> 04:59.760
Where do we buy tickets?

04:59.760 --> 05:05.760
咱們在哪兒買票?咱們在哪兒買票?

05:05.760 --> 05:07.760
We buy tickets on the bus.

05:07.760 --> 05:11.760
在車上買票.

05:11.760 --> 05:15.760
Here's the pronoun used for we in the exchange.

05:15.760 --> 05:19.760
咱們.咱們.

05:19.760 --> 05:27.760
Many speaking speakers use the pronoun woman only when the person being spoken to is not included in the we.

05:27.760 --> 05:35.760
To show specifically that the person being spoken to is included in the we, the pronoun 咱們 is used instead.

05:35.760 --> 05:37.760
Here's the word for ticket.

05:37.760 --> 05:40.760
票.票.

05:40.760 --> 05:43.760
And here's the compound on the bus.

05:43.760 --> 05:47.760
車上.車上.

05:47.760 --> 05:56.760
The element 上 in the word 車上 is a locational ending and makes the word 車 into a place word expression.

05:56.760 --> 06:01.760
In Chinese, only a place word expression can follow the verb 載.

06:01.760 --> 06:08.760
Check your reference notes for a discussion of what words and phrases are considered place word expressions in Chinese.

06:08.760 --> 06:12.760
This is the conversation concludes.

06:12.760 --> 06:14.760
Ok, let's go now.

06:14.760 --> 06:20.760
好,現在走吧.

06:20.760 --> 06:22.760
Here's how you say let's go.

06:22.760 --> 06:25.760
走吧.

06:25.760 --> 06:31.760
You've seen the marker 吧 used to soften a command into a suggestion.

06:31.760 --> 06:34.760
Here it's used to suggest a joint action.

06:34.760 --> 06:38.760
In English, we express this meaning with the word let's.

06:38.760 --> 06:41.760
Listen to the final remark, lie.

06:41.760 --> 06:43.760
好,現在走吧.

06:43.760 --> 06:47.760
Again.好,現在走吧.

06:47.760 --> 06:53.760
Check your comprehension.好,現在走吧.

06:53.760 --> 06:56.760
Ok, let's go now.

06:56.760 --> 06:59.760
Here's a similar conversation for review.

06:59.760 --> 07:04.760
A group of French and Chinese students is going on a joint sightseeing trip.

07:04.760 --> 07:07.760
Listen to the conversation live.

07:07.760 --> 07:10.760
咱們今天去展覽館,是不是?

07:10.760 --> 07:11.760
是.

07:11.760 --> 07:14.760
從這兒去有沒有直達車?

07:14.760 --> 07:22.760
沒有,咱們先坐一路車,到了西單再換十五路車.

07:22.760 --> 07:26.760
咱們現在走吧.

07:26.760 --> 07:30.760
Again.咱們今天去展覽館,是不是?

07:30.760 --> 07:31.760
是.

07:31.760 --> 07:34.760
從這兒去有沒有直達車?

07:34.760 --> 07:41.760
沒有,咱們先坐一路車,到了西單再換十五路車.

07:41.760 --> 07:45.760
咱們現在走吧.

07:45.760 --> 07:51.760
Check your comprehension.咱們今天去展覽館,是不是?

07:51.760 --> 07:53.760
是.

07:53.760 --> 07:55.760
Yes.

07:55.760 --> 08:01.760
從這兒去有沒有直達車?

08:01.760 --> 08:04.760
Is there a direct bus from here?

08:04.760 --> 08:11.760
沒有,咱們先坐一路車.

08:11.760 --> 08:12.760
No.

08:12.760 --> 08:18.760
First we take the number one bus.

08:18.760 --> 08:32.760
到了西單再換十五路車.

08:32.760 --> 08:41.760
When we get to西單, then we change to the number fifteen bus.咱們什麼時候去?

08:41.760 --> 08:44.760
When are we going?

08:44.760 --> 08:47.760
咱們現在就走吧.

08:47.760 --> 08:51.760
Let's leave right now.

08:51.760 --> 08:55.760
Let's go back to the Canadian student.

08:55.760 --> 08:59.760
The students have now been riding the number one bus for ten minutes.

08:59.760 --> 09:01.760
And he's starting to get a little nervous.

09:01.760 --> 09:03.760
Listen.

09:03.760 --> 09:06.760
Hey, haven't we gone past our stop?

09:06.760 --> 09:13.760
咱們不是坐過站了吧?

09:13.760 --> 09:15.760
Not yet.

09:15.760 --> 09:19.760
還沒呢?

09:19.760 --> 09:22.760
We don't get off until the next stop.

09:22.760 --> 09:28.760
下一站才下車.

09:28.760 --> 09:32.760
Here's how you say road pass the stop.

09:32.760 --> 09:36.760
坐過站了.

09:36.760 --> 09:42.760
You'll remember that the verb 過 means to cross or to pass.

09:42.760 --> 09:44.760
The second sentence in the exchange.

09:44.760 --> 09:45.760
還沒呢?

09:45.760 --> 09:47.760
Is a shortened form of the sentence.

09:47.760 --> 09:50.760
還沒坐過站了.

09:50.760 --> 09:55.760
The marker 呢 in Chinese is used to emphasize that the current situation is still the same.

09:55.760 --> 09:58.760
That it hasn't changed yet.

09:58.760 --> 10:01.760
It may be used either together with the adverb 還

10:01.760 --> 10:06.760
as in the sentence we're considering or alone.

10:06.760 --> 10:09.760
Here's the word translated until in the exchange.

10:09.760 --> 10:13.760
才 才

10:13.760 --> 10:21.760
The word 才 means then in the sense of then and only then or not until then.

10:21.760 --> 10:25.760
It's used for something that happened or will happen later than expected.

10:25.760 --> 10:29.760
Here's the whole exchange live.

10:29.760 --> 10:32.760
咱們不是坐過站了吧?

10:32.760 --> 10:33.760
還沒呢?

10:33.760 --> 10:35.760
下一站才下車.

10:35.760 --> 10:37.760
Again.

10:37.760 --> 10:40.760
咱們不是坐過站了吧?

10:40.760 --> 10:43.760
還沒呢?下一站才下車.

10:43.760 --> 10:46.760
Check your comprehension.

10:46.760 --> 10:53.760
咱們不是坐過站了吧?

10:53.760 --> 10:57.760
Hey, haven't we gone past our stop?

10:57.760 --> 10:59.760
還沒呢?

10:59.760 --> 11:01.760
Not yet.

11:01.760 --> 11:07.760
下一站才下車.

11:07.760 --> 11:11.760
We don't get off until the next stop.

11:11.760 --> 11:16.760
Now listen to two short conversations reviewing some of the items just introduced.

11:16.760 --> 11:20.760
Notice that the marker 呢 may be used after a sentence with the word 才

11:20.760 --> 11:26.760
in which the present situation is still the same but is expected to change soon.

11:26.760 --> 11:29.760
Here's the first conversation live.

11:29.760 --> 11:32.760
你說你要到上海去?你去了沒有?

11:32.760 --> 11:35.760
還沒去呢?你什麼時候去啊?

11:35.760 --> 11:38.760
我下個星期才去呢.

11:38.760 --> 11:40.760
Again.

11:40.760 --> 11:43.760
你說你要到上海去?你去了沒有?

11:43.760 --> 11:46.760
還沒去呢?你什麼時候去啊?

11:46.760 --> 11:49.760
我下個星期才去呢.

11:49.760 --> 11:52.760
Check your comprehension.

11:52.760 --> 11:59.760
你說你要到上海去?

11:59.760 --> 12:02.760
You said you wanted to go to Shanghai.

12:02.760 --> 12:05.760
你去了沒有?

12:05.760 --> 12:08.760
Did you go?

12:08.760 --> 12:13.760
還沒去呢?

12:13.760 --> 12:15.760
I haven't gone yet.

12:15.760 --> 12:20.760
你什麼時候去啊?

12:20.760 --> 12:23.760
When are you going?

12:23.760 --> 12:30.760
我下個星期才去呢.

12:30.760 --> 12:33.760
I'm not going till next week.

12:33.760 --> 12:39.760
Here's the second live conversation which takes place on a bus.

12:39.760 --> 12:43.760
離站欄館還有幾站?

12:43.760 --> 12:49.760
你坐過站了,你下一站下車吧.Again.

12:49.760 --> 12:53.760
離站欄館還有幾站?

12:53.760 --> 12:59.760
你坐過站了,你下一站下車吧.Check your comprehension.

12:59.760 --> 13:06.760
離站欄館還有幾站?

13:06.760 --> 13:10.760
How many stops are we from the exhibition hall?

13:10.760 --> 13:18.760
你坐過站了, you went past your stop.

13:18.760 --> 13:25.760
你下一站下車吧.

13:25.760 --> 13:29.760
I suggest you get off at the next stop.

13:29.760 --> 13:33.760
Let's go back to Mr. Wilson and his Chinese friends.

13:33.760 --> 13:38.760
After getting off the number one bus, Mr. Wilson has one more question.

13:38.760 --> 13:49.760
Where's the number 15 bus stop?

13:49.760 --> 13:52.760
Here's the word for bus stop.

13:52.760 --> 13:57.760
汽車站.

13:57.760 --> 14:00.760
Here's the whole exchange live.

14:00.760 --> 14:03.760
15路汽車站在哪?

14:03.760 --> 14:08.760
就在那個路口上.Again.

14:08.760 --> 14:11.760
15路汽車站在哪?

14:11.760 --> 14:17.760
就在那個路口上.Check your comprehension.

14:17.760 --> 14:23.760
汽車站在哪?

14:23.760 --> 14:27.760
Where's the number 15 bus stop?

14:27.760 --> 14:37.760
就在那個路口上.It's just on that corner.

14:37.760 --> 14:41.760
Here's a live conversation reviewing the material introduced on this tape.

14:41.760 --> 14:46.760
A group of Chinese and Canadian students are going to visit the Peking exhibition hall.

14:46.760 --> 14:51.760
Listen as Mr. Green talks to one of the Chinese students.

14:51.760 --> 14:56.760
到達蘭管去有沒有直達車?

14:56.760 --> 15:04.760
咱們得坐幾路車呢?咱們先坐一路到西丹然後換15路.

15:04.760 --> 15:09.760
咱們得換車才可以到達蘭管啊?對了.

15:09.760 --> 15:15.760
一路汽車站在哪?就在對面路口上.

15:15.760 --> 15:20.760
好咱們走吧.Again.

15:20.760 --> 15:33.760
到達蘭管去有沒有直達車?沒有直達車.咱們得坐幾路車呢?咱們先坐一路到西丹然後換15路.

15:33.760 --> 15:38.760
咱們得換車才可以到達蘭管啊?對了.

15:38.760 --> 15:44.760
一路汽車站在哪?就在對面路口上.好咱們走吧.

15:44.760 --> 15:49.760
咱們走吧.See if you understood what was said.

15:49.760 --> 15:57.760
到達蘭管去有沒有直達車?

15:57.760 --> 16:00.760
Is there a direct bus to the exhibition hall?

16:00.760 --> 16:05.760
沒有直達車.

16:05.760 --> 16:13.760
There isn't any direct bus.咱們得坐幾路車呢?

16:13.760 --> 16:24.760
Well, what buses do we have to take?咱們先坐一路到西丹然後換15路.

16:24.760 --> 16:42.760
First we take the number one to西丹 and after that we change to the number 15.咱們得換車才可以到達蘭管啊?

16:42.760 --> 16:53.760
Oh, we have to change buses to get to the exhibition hall.對了.

16:53.760 --> 17:02.760
Right.一路汽車站在哪?
