136000	137000	Again.
137000	141000	是啊。我又到廣州去了。
141000	143000	Check your comprehension.
143000	150000	是啊。我又到廣州去了。
150000	153000	Yes, I went to Canton again.
153000	156000	The conversation continues.
156000	160000	Why did you go again when you had just come back from there?
160000	164000	你為什麼剛回來又去了呢?

200000	202000	Check your comprehension.
202000	209000	你為什麼剛回來又去了呢?
209000	214000	Why did you go again when you had just come back from there?
214000	217000	The conversation continues.
217000	221000	This time I went to Canton because I had a very good friend coming there from Hong Kong.

244000	247000	A more literal translation of this sentence would be,
247000	253000	My going to Canton this time was because I had a very good friend coming there from Hong Kong.
253000	257000	Notice that in the phrase 很好的朋友。
257000	261000	The modifying phrase 很好 is followed by the marker 得。
261000	266000	A modifying phrase of two or more words is always followed by the marker 得。
266000	271000	See the reference notes for a discussion of when the marker 得 is and isn't used.
271000	276000	Notice also that the verb 有 in this sentence is translated in the past tense in English.
276000	281000	I had a friend coming, even though the Chinese has no completed action marker.
281000	287000	The verb 有 can't be used with a completed action marker because it's not an action but a state.
287000	291000	Listen to the answer live.
291000	298000	我這次到廣州去是因為我有一個很好的朋友從香港來。
298000	300000	Again.
300000	307000	我這次到廣州去是因為我有一個很好的朋友從香港來。
307000	310000	Check your comprehension.
310000	317000	我這次到廣州去是因為我有一個很好的朋友從香港來。
317000	324000	This time I went to Canton because I had a very good friend coming there from Hong Kong.
324000	329000	Now let's change the scene and listen to a similar conversation live.
329000	332000	好久沒見,怎麼樣?
332000	337000	很好,我出門了,剛從上海回來。
337000	342000	你不是上個月剛到上海去過了嗎?
342000	347000	是。為什麼又去了?
347000	351000	我這次去行為有事。

392000	396000	很好, very well.
396000	401000	我出門了,剛從上海回來。
404000	408000	I've been out of town and just came back from Shanghai.
408000	415000	你不是上個月剛到上海去過了嗎?
415000	418000	Didn't you just go to Shanghai last month?
418000	420000	是。
420000	421000	Yes.
421000	425000	為什麼又去了?
425000	427000	Why did you go again?
427000	434000	我這次去是因為有事。
434000	438000	This time I went because I had some business there.
438000	445000	上一次去就是去玩。
445000	449000	The last time I went, it was just for a vacation.
449000	452000	Let's go back to Mr. Bauer's discussion of his trip.
452000	458000	You'll remember he had just said he went to Canton because he had a good friend who was coming there from Hong Kong.
458000	461000	Listen as Mr. Bauer continues.
461000	464000	We hadn't seen each other for a year.
464000	470000	我們有一年沒見了。
470000	474000	She asked me to accompany her traveling.
474000	481000	她請我陪她一起去旅行。
481000	485000	To give the amount of time during which some action didn't take place,
485000	491000	you put the amount of time before the negative of the verb describing that action.
491000	496000	Here's the verb to ask in the sense of to invite or to request.
496000	499000	請。
499000	503000	You've seen this verb before, meaning please.
503000	505000	Here's the verb to accompany.
505000	511000	Pay.Pay.And here's the word for together.
511000	513000	一起。
513000	516000	Listen to the remarks live.
516000	519000	我們有一年沒見了。
519000	523000	她請我陪她一起去旅行。
523000	525000	Again.
525000	527000	我們有一年沒見了。
527000	531000	她請我陪她一起去旅行。
531000	533000	Check your comprehension.
533000	540000	我們有一年沒見了。
540000	542000	We hadn't seen each other for a year.
542000	549000	她請我陪她一起去旅行。
549000	553000	She asked me to accompany her traveling.
553000	555000	The conversation continues.
555000	558000	Three months ago when I was in Canton,
558000	562000	she didn't know yet at that time whether she would be able to come or not.
562000	566000	Three months ago when I was in Guangzhou,
566000	571000	she didn't know yet at that time whether she would be able to come or not.
571000	574000	Three months ago when I was in Guangzhou,
574000	578000	she didn't know yet at that time whether she would be able to come or not.
578000	581000	Here's the word used to translate ago.
581000	585000	以前。以前。
585000	588000	And here's another word for can or be able to.
588000	591000	能。能。
591000	596000	See the reference notes for the difference between the verbs 能 and 可以.
596000	599000	Now listen to the sentence live.
599000	603000	三個月以前我在廣州的時候,
603000	608000	她那個時候還不知道能不能來。
608000	611000	Notice that the negative marker in this sentence is 不,
611000	615000	not may, even though the sentence refers to a past situation.
615000	619000	This is because the verb 知道 is a state verb,
619000	623000	and the word may can only negate a completed action.
623000	627000	Since the negative of a state verb is the same in the present and the past,
627000	631000	the time must be discovered from the context.
631000	637000	In this sentence,the phrase 那個時候 adds clarity to the time reference.
637000	640000	Here's the sentence again live.
640000	644000	三個月以前我在廣州的時候,
644000	648000	她那個時候還不知道能不能來。
648000	651000	Check your comprehension.
651000	654000	三個月以前我在廣州的時候,

664000	667000	Three months ago when I was in Canton,
667000	672000	she didn't know yet at that time whether she would be able to come or not.
672000	676000	Now listen to two Chinese women talking about a trip.
676000	679000	我要到上海去玩四五天,
679000	681000	你要不要一起去?
681000	684000	好啊,我陪你去。
684000	687000	我有一年沒去上海了,
687000	690000	可是我不能去那麼久。
690000	694000	你知道我兩個月以前剛從廣州回來,
694000	697000	我只能去三天,
697000	700000	三天也夠了。

746000	748000	Would you like to go with me?
748000	753000	好啊,我陪你去。
753000	756000	Alright, I'll go with you.
756000	762000	我有一年沒去上海了。
762000	765000	I haven't been to Shanghai for a year,
765000	770000	可是我不能去那麼久。
770000	773000	But I can't go for so long.
773000	781000	你知道我兩個月以前剛從廣州回來,
781000	785000	You know I just came back from Canton two months ago.
785000	790000	我只能去三天。
790000	793000	I can only go for three days.
793000	799000	三天也夠了。
799000	803000	Three days would be enough too.
803000	808000	Let's go back to Comrade Ma's conversation with Mr. Bauer.
808000	810000	What places did you go?
810000	813000	你們都去過什麼地方?
813000	822000	We went to Nanking, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou.

846000	850000	Here are the names of the cities we pronounce Hangzhou and Suzhou.
850000	856000	杭州,蘇州,杭州,蘇州。
856000	860000	In the sentence,你們都去過什麼地方?
860000	864000	The adverb, though, could refer to either the subject or the object.
864000	868000	If it refers to the object, the sentence could be translated.
868000	871000	What all places did you go to?
871000	874000	Here's the adverb to be beautiful.

934000	936000	The conversation continues.
936000	940000	If I have the chance, I'd like to go again.
940000	948000	有機會我要再去一次。
948000	951000	Here's the word for opportunity or chance.

1017000	1020000	In the sentence 沒都去過。
1020000	1022000	The negative word comes before the adverb 都
1022000	1026000	instead of right before the verb.
1026000	1031000	Compare the meanings of sentences with the negative word in these two positions.
1031000	1034000	I haven't been to all of them.

1256000	1259000	老楊,好久沒見,怎麼樣?
1259000	1262000	你好,有兩個月沒見了吧?
1262000	1264000	你出門了嗎?
1264000	1268000	對了,我三天以前剛回來。
1268000	1270000	你都到哪兒去了?
1270000	1273000	上個月我陪馬同志到北京去了。
1273000	1277000	在那兒工作了三個星期。
1277000	1279000	你為什麼沒告訴我們?
1279000	1283000	因為那個時候我不知道我能不能去。
1283000	1287000	我知道以後已經來不及告訴你了。
1287000	1290000	在北京的老朋友都看見了吧?
1290000	1294000	在北京的時候很忙,沒都看見。
1294000	1299000	就看見黃溫生趙紫彥了。
1299000	1303000	下個月我大概還要再到北京去。

1308000	1312000	上個星期我又陪方處長
1312000	1314000	一起到杭州去了。
1314000	1316000	你真忙啊?
1316000	1319000	哎,忙一點。
1319000	1321000	杭州真是漂亮。
1321000	1325000	以後有機會你得到那兒去一次。
1334000	1337000	我這次到廣州去是因為
1337000	1341000	我有一個很好的朋友從香港來。
1341000	1344000	我這次到廣東去是因為
1344000	1347000	我有一個很好的朋友從香港來。
1347000	1350000	第二點。
1350000	1354000	杭州跟蘇州真是漂亮。
1359000	1362000	杭州和蘇州很漂亮。
1362000	1364000	第三點。
1364000	1367000	三個月以前他還不知道
1367000	1370000	能不能來到香港。
1370000	1379000	不知道,能不能来?
1379000	1383000	三个月前,她还不知道她能不能来吗?
1383000	1394000	四,好久没见,您出门了吧?
1394000	1399000	我并没有见您了,您已经离开了,我估计。
1399000	1408000	五,我们一年没见了。
1408000	1412000	我们一年没见了。
1412000	1424000	六,您为什么刚回来,又去了呢?
1424000	1428000	为什么再回来呢?
1428000	1437000	七,您都去过什么地方?
1437000	1440000	哪里去的地方?
1440000	1453000	八,有机会我要再去一次。
1453000	1468000	她请我陪她一起去旅行。
1468000	1479000	如果您认为您准备好了,请进入P1机序。
