1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Standard Chinese, a modular approach. Directions module unit 1, production tape 1.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
On the comprehension tape in this unit, you learn to understand some sentences asking or giving directions.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Before you learn how to say these things, test your comprehension of them.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Put the following exchanges from the target list into English.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Number 1,你知道不知道華美咖啡廳?Do you know of the huame coffee house?

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:42,000
知道。Yes, I know. Number 2,到那里去怎么走?How do I go there?

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:50,000
从这里往左走。From here you go to the left.

8
00:00:50,000 --> 00:01:02,000
到了路口,往右走就到了。When you reach the intersection, then you go to the right, and then you're there.

9
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Number 3,从这里到银行去,我先往右走,对不对?

10
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
To get from here to the bank, first I go to the right, is that correct?

11
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:24,000
不是,从这里一直走。No, from here you go straight.

12
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:35,000
然后到了路口,往左走。After that, when I reach the intersection, I go to the left.

13
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
对了。That's correct.

14
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000
好,我知道了,谢谢。

15
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Good, I've got it now, thank you.

16
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
If you had any trouble understanding these sentences, rewind the tape and work on them some more.

17
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
If you understood them all, you should begin learning how to say them.

18
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Listen to this exchange as two friends meet on the street.

19
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,000
你到哪里去?我到咖啡厅去。Repeat the verb to go.

20
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
去,去。Repeat the question, where are you going?

21
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Literally, you to where go.你到哪里去?你到哪里去?

22
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
So far you've seen 到 as a full verb meaning to arrive.

23
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Here it's a prepositional verb meaning to.

24
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Do remember that other prepositional verbs such as 给 for could also be full verbs such as 给 to give.

25
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Repeat, where are you going?你到哪里去?你到哪里去?

26
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Notice the word order, the prepositional verb phrase 到哪里? goes before the full verb 去.

27
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:07,000
How do you say, where are you going?你到哪里去?

28
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
You've probably found prepositional verbs such as 到 or 给 easy enough to handle.

29
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000
The resemblance to English prepositions such as 到 in or for is a help.

30
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,000
You've had to remember, however, that the prepositional phrase like 给我 precedes a full verb like 还还.

31
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Now you've come to another point to remember.

32
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Chinese often uses a prepositional verb like 到 where English uses no preposition.

33
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
How do you say, where are you going?

34
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
你到哪里去?

35
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Listen to the exchange again.你到哪里去?我到咖啡厅去.

36
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Repeat the word for coffee house.咖啡厅.咖啡厅.

37
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Repeat, I'm going to a coffee house.我到咖啡厅去.

38
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
我到咖啡厅去.

39
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Notice that although we say going to a coffee house in English, there is no word in the Chinese corresponding to the article a.

40
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:29,000
How do you say, I'm going to a coffee house?我到咖啡厅去.

41
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Listen to this exchange.你到哪里去?我到咖啡厅去.

42
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
你要不要去?好,我去.

43
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Now you try it. You're going to a coffee house.

44
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:54,000
When you meet a friend on the street and she asks you where you're headed, you tell her and then ask if she wants to go.你到哪里去?

45
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
我到咖啡厅去.你要不要去?好,我去.

46
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Again.你到哪里去?

47
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:14,000
我到咖啡厅去.你要不要去?好,我去.

48
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000
The conversation continues. Listen.

49
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
你知道不知道华美咖啡厅?不知道.

50
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Repeat the verb to know or to know of.知道.知道.

51
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Repeat the name of the coffee house, the huamei coffee house.

52
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
华美咖啡厅.

53
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000
华美咖啡厅.

54
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Repeat the question, do you know of the huamei coffee house?你知道不知道华美咖啡厅?

55
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,000
你知道不知道华美咖啡厅?

56
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Try saying it yourself, ahead of the speaker.你知道不知道华美咖啡厅?

57
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Try asking the question again, this time you'll get a reply.你知道不知道华美咖啡厅?不知道.Again.

58
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:35,000
你知道不知道华美咖啡厅?不知道.

59
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Since neither of the friends know where the huamei coffee house is, they ask someone on the street. Listen.

60
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,000
你知道不知道华美咖啡厅?知道.到哪里去怎么走?

61
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000
从这里往左走,到了路口,再往右走就到了.Repeat, how do I go?

62
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,000
怎么走?怎么走?

63
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:13,000
You've already seen the verb 走 means to leave. Here you find another meaning of the verb 走 to take a route, to go by way of. Now repeat the whole sentence. How do I go there?

64
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:23,000
到哪里去怎么走?到哪里去怎么走?

65
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Notice that the question starts off with what could be a complete sentence itself. A propositional verb phrase and a full verb.到哪里去?I'm going there.

66
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:46,000
It's then followed by a question word and another full verb.怎么走?By what route?How do you say, how do I go there?

67
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
到哪里去怎么走?

68
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Try it again. This time you'll get a reply.

69
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,000
到哪里去怎么走?

70
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:07,000
从这里往左走,到了路口,再往右走就到了.Again.

71
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000
到哪里去怎么走?

72
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:19,000
从这里往左走,到了路口,再往右走就到了.

73
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Listen to how you might break these directions up into parts.我先往左走,对不对?

74
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:43,000
对了.Repeat the adjectival verb to be correct.对,对,对.Repeat, is that correct?对不对?对不对?

75
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Now repeat the prepositional verb which means towards or in the direction of.往,往.

76
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Although both prepositional verbs往 and到 can be translated as to, they mean different things.

77
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Use到 to mean to as in到北京去.Go to Peking when you actually do go all the way to the place.Use往 to mean towards when you go in the direction of a place but not all the way there.

78
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Now repeat the word for the direction left.左,左.Repeat, go to the left.往左走,往左走.

79
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Repeat the adverb first.先,先.Repeat, first I go to the left.我先往左走,我先往左走.

80
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Notice that the adverb先 comes directly after the subject 我,before the prepositional verb 往.Repeat, first I go to the left.is that correct?我先往左走,对不对?

81
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Try asking the question yourself. You'll get a reply.First I go to the left.is that correct?我先往左走,对不对?

82
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:43,000
对了.Again.我先往左走,对不对?对了.The conversation continues.

83
00:10:43,000 --> 00:11:06,000
然后呢?然后到了路口往右走.Repeat the word for after that or afterwards.然后,然后.Repeat, and after that.然后呢?然后呢?

84
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Try saying it yourself. This time you'll get a reply.然后呢?然后到了路口再往右走.Again.然后呢?然后到了路口再往右走.

85
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Try asking both questions now.First I go to the left.is that correct?Then I ask about afterwards.我先往左走,对不对?对了.然后呢?然后到了路口再往右走.Again.我先往左走,对不对?对了.然后呢?然后到了路口再往右走.Again.我先往左走,对不对?

86
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:20,000
对了.然后呢?然后到了路口再往右走.Let's break up that answer into several parts and take a closer look.Repeat the word for an intersection.路口。路口。Repeat the first part of the sentence.

87
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
When you reach the intersection, more literally, arrived at the intersection.

88
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,000
到了路口,到了路口。

89
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Now the second part of the sentence.

90
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Repeat the word for then, used in commands or suggestions.

91
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000
在,在。

92
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Now repeat the word for the direction right.

93
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
有,有。

94
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Repeat, then go to the right.

95
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
再往右走。

96
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
再往右走。

97
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Again you see the verb 走, used instead of the verb 去 to mean go.

98
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,000
This is because the emphasis is on the route taken, not on the final destination.

99
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
What's the word for the direction right?

100
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
有.

101
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
How do you say, then go to the right.

102
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,000
再往右走。

103
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Repeat the first two parts of the sentence now.

104
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
When you reach the intersection, then you go to the right.

105
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,000
到了路口,再往右走。

106
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000
到了路口,再往右走。

107
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Notice that the marker 路 is used to indicate completed action here.

108
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
The sentence does not say that he has reached the intersection already,

109
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000
but when he has reached it, then he goes to the right.

110
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Completed action 路 does not tell you whether the action is past, present or future.

111
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
This you must find out from the context.

112
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:08,000
How do you say, when you reach the intersection, you go to the right.

113
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
到了路口,再往右走。

114
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
What completed action 路 does tell you in this sentence,

115
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
is that getting to the intersection will be done before going to the right.

116
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,000
You use the marker 路 here to show the completion of one action in relation to another.

117
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:31,000
How do you say, when you reach the corner, you go to the right.

118
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,000
到了路口,再往右走。

119
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Try answering the question yourself now.

120
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000
After that, when you reach the intersection, then you go to the right.

121
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:50,000
然后呢?

122
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:57,000
然后到了路口,再往右走。

123
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Again 然后呢?

124
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:11,000
然后到了路口,再往右走。

125
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Listen to the final reply.

126
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
好,我知道了。

127
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Repeat, now I've got it.

128
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
我知道了。

129
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
我知道了。

130
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Notice that you use the new situation 了

131
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
to give the idea that now you know it although before you did not.

132
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
How do you say, now I've got it.

133
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
我知道了。

134
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Repeat, good, now I've got it.

135
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Thank you.

136
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,000
好,我知道了。谢谢。

137
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000
好,我知道了。谢谢。

138
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Listen to this short conversation using what you've just learned.

139
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,000
请问,到华美咖啡厅去怎么走?

140
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,000
从这里往右走,到了路口,再往右走,就到了。

141
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
好,我知道了。

142
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Now you try it.

143
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Try asking how you get to the huame coffee house.

144
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
When you've heard the directions say good, now I've got it.

145
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Thank you.

146
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
请问,到华美咖啡厅去怎么走?

147
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
从这里往右走,到了路口,再往右走,就到了。

148
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000
好,我知道了。谢谢。

149
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Again.

150
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
请问,到华美咖啡厅去怎么走?

151
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
从这里往右走,到了路口,再往右走,就到了。

152
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:57,000
好,我知道了。谢谢。

153
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Here's a quick review.

154
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
What's the word for the direction right?

155
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
右。

156
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
What's the word for after that?

157
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
然后。

158
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
What's the word for the direction left?

159
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000
左。

160
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000
And what's the word for first?

161
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
先。

162
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Here's another conversation. Listen.

163
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
请问,从这里到银行去往右走,对不对?

164
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
不是,从这里一直走。

165
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Repeat the prepositional verb from 从。

166
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Unlike the prepositional verb 到, the prepositional verb 从 is never used alone as a full verb.

167
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Repeat the prepositional phrase from here.

168
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:01,000
从这里。

169
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Repeat to get from here to the bank.

170
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:12,000
从这里到银行去。

171
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Repeat to get from here to the bank, you go right.

172
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
从这里到银行去往右走。

173
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:30,000
从这里到银行去往右走。

174
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Repeat to get from here to the bank, you go right.

175
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Is that correct?

176
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:42,000
从这里到银行去往右走,对不对?

177
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:48,000
从这里到银行去往右走,对不对?

178
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Now repeat.

179
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:54,000
May I ask, if you get from here to the bank, you go to the right, is that correct?

180
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:02,000
请问,从这里到银行去往右走,对不对?

181
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:09,000
请问,从这里到银行去往右走,对不对?

182
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Try it again, this time you'll get a reply.

183
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Repeat to get from here to the bank, you go right.

184
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000
请问,从这里到银行去往右走,对不对?

185
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000
不是,从这里一直走。

186
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Again.

187
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000
请问,从这里到银行去往右走,对不对?

188
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
从这里一直走。

189
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Now repeat the adverb, straight.

190
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000
一直,一直。

191
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Repeat, go straight.

192
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,000
一直走,一直走。

193
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Repeat, from here you go straight.

194
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
从这里一直走。

195
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000
从这里一直走。

196
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Notice that the adverb一直, comes right before what it most directly modifies, that is the verb走.

197
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Repeat, no, from here you go straight.

198
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,000
不是,从这里一直走。

199
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
不是,从这里一直走。

200
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Try responding to the question yourself now, correct the person, tell her to go straight.

201
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:48,000
请问,从这里到银行去往右走,对不对?

202
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,000
不是,从这里一直走。

203
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Again.

204
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:04,000
请问,从这里到银行去往右走,对不对?

205
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,000
不是,从这里一直走。

206
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Notice that even though the other person asks her question with,对不对?

207
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
You answer with,不是。

208
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:21,000
This is because the answer 不对, is considered rather blunt.

209
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Now let's review what we've covered on this tape.

210
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Put the following sentences from the target list into Chinese.

211
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Number one.

212
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
I'm going to a coffee house.

213
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Do you know the huamei coffee house?

214
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Do you know the huamei coffee house?

215
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
No, I don't.

216
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000
不知道。

217
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Number two.

218
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:01,000
How do I get from here to the bank?

219
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000
你到银行去怎么走?

220
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
From here you go straight.

221
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000
从这里一直走。

222
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Number three.

223
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:24,000
First from here I go straight, is that right?

224
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,000
我先从这里一直走,对不对?

225
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
That's right.

226
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
对了。

227
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:43,000
After that, when I've reached the intersection, I go to the right.

228
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:51,000
然后到了路口往右走。

229
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,000
No, go to the left.

230
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,000
我往左走。
