Standard Chinese, A Modular Approach, Directions Module, Unit 3, Comprehension Tape 1.

00:10.000 --> 00:13.000
This unit is set in the PRC.

00:13.000 --> 00:19.000
On this tape, you'll learn to understand questions and answers about whether things are close or far away.

00:19.000 --> 00:24.000
You'll also learn some peaking variants of directional terms you've already had.

00:24.000 --> 00:30.000
For this tape, you'll need to consult the map sheet opposite the reference list in your workbook.

00:30.000 --> 00:35.000
Miss Novak, newly arrived in Peking, is staying at the Peking Hotel.

00:35.000 --> 00:40.000
The following exchange takes place as she hands in her room key to the hotel desk clerk.

00:40.000 --> 00:42.000
Listen.

00:42.000 --> 00:45.000
Oh, you're going out.

00:45.000 --> 00:50.000
你出去,你出去.

00:50.000 --> 00:53.000
I thought I'd go out to buy a few books.

00:53.000 --> 00:56.000
我想出去买几本书.

00:56.000 --> 01:00.000
我想出去买几本书.

01:00.000 --> 01:03.000
Here's the compound verb to go out.

01:03.000 --> 01:06.000
出去.出去.

01:06.000 --> 01:11.000
The verb 出去 must be accompanied either by the name of the area being left,

01:11.000 --> 01:19.000
as in 出了这个饭店, or by a directional ending, as in 你出去啊.

01:19.000 --> 01:23.000
The verb 出去 is used just like the English going out,

01:23.000 --> 01:28.000
and the compound verb 出来, just like the English coming out.

01:28.000 --> 01:34.000
When the verbs 来 and 去 are used as directional endings, they are toneless and unstressed.

01:34.000 --> 01:37.000
In the sentence 你出去啊.

01:37.000 --> 01:41.000
The marker 啊 is used to carry the intonation.

01:41.000 --> 01:45.000
Earlier, you saw this marker used to carry the intonation of a question.

01:45.000 --> 01:47.000
你好啊.

01:47.000 --> 01:48.000
How are you?

01:48.000 --> 01:51.000
In the sentence 你出去啊.

01:51.000 --> 01:54.000
It carries the intonation of an exclamation.

01:54.000 --> 01:58.000
Here's how you say a few books.

01:58.000 --> 02:02.000
基本书.基本书.

02:02.000 --> 02:06.000
When the bound word 几 has a tone, it means how many.

02:06.000 --> 02:10.000
When it's toneless, it means a few.

02:10.000 --> 02:15.000
Notice that in the sentence 我想出去买几本书.

02:15.000 --> 02:19.000
the phrase after the verb 出去 expresses the purpose of the going out.

02:19.000 --> 02:21.000
Here's the exchange life.

02:21.000 --> 02:23.000
你出去啊.

02:23.000 --> 02:27.000
我想出去买几本书.again.

02:27.000 --> 02:28.000
你出去啊.

02:28.000 --> 02:33.000
我想出去买几本书.check your comprehension.

02:33.000 --> 02:36.000
你出去啊.

02:36.000 --> 02:38.000
Oh, you're going out.

02:38.000 --> 02:43.000
我想出去买几本书.

02:43.000 --> 02:46.000
I thought I'd go out to buy a few books.

02:46.000 --> 02:51.000
Look at display 1 on your map sheet as the conversation continues.

02:51.000 --> 02:55.000
Excuse me, where is there a place to buy books?

02:55.000 --> 03:01.000
老家哪有卖书的?

03:01.000 --> 03:06.000
There's a new China bookstore on Wang Fujin Boulevard, which is very large.

03:06.000 --> 03:18.000
王府井大街有一个新华收店很大.

03:18.000 --> 03:22.000
Here's the word for excuse me in the exchange.

03:22.000 --> 03:25.000
老家.

03:25.000 --> 03:31.000
The word 老家 is used in Peking when requesting someone to do something for you.

03:31.000 --> 03:35.000
Here's the word for boulevard, literally big street.

03:35.000 --> 03:38.000
大街.

03:38.000 --> 03:42.000
王府井 Boulevard is one of the major shopping streets in Peking.

03:42.000 --> 03:44.000
Here's how you say it.

03:44.000 --> 03:49.000
王府井大街.

03:49.000 --> 03:52.000
Here's the name new China bookstore.

03:52.000 --> 03:57.000
新华收店.

03:57.000 --> 03:59.000
The word 新 means new.

03:59.000 --> 04:03.000
And the word 华, literally glorious, stands for China.

04:03.000 --> 04:08.000
The new China bookstore has branches all over the PRC.

04:08.000 --> 04:16.000
When the existence of a noun is established by the verb yo, the noun may be followed by a predicate, giving more information about it.

04:16.000 --> 04:28.000
In the second sentence in the exchange, the predicate 很大 follows the sentence 王府井大街有一个新华收店,which establishes that the bookstore exists.

04:28.000 --> 04:30.000
Listen to the exchange live.

04:30.000 --> 04:33.000
老家哪有卖书的?

04:33.000 --> 04:38.000

04:38.000 --> 04:40.000
Again.

04:40.000 --> 04:42.000
老家哪有卖书的?

04:42.000 --> 04:47.000
王府井大街有一个新华收店,很大.

04:47.000 --> 04:49.000
Check your comprehension.

04:49.000 --> 04:55.000
老家哪有卖书的?

04:55.000 --> 04:57.000
Excuse me.

04:57.000 --> 05:00.000
Where is there a place to buy books?

05:00.000 --> 05:09.000
王府井大街有一个新华收店,很大.

05:09.000 --> 05:15.000
There is a new China bookstore on Wang Fujin Boulevard, which is very large.

05:15.000 --> 05:17.000
The conversation continues.

05:17.000 --> 05:19.000
Is it far from here?

05:19.000 --> 05:24.000
离这儿远吗?

05:24.000 --> 05:26.000
Not far, very close.

05:26.000 --> 05:33.000
不远,很近.

05:33.000 --> 05:38.000
Here is the prepositional verb from, in the sense of to be apart from.

05:38.000 --> 05:42.000
离离.

05:42.000 --> 05:45.000
Here is the adjectival verb to be far.

05:45.000 --> 05:49.000
远远.

05:49.000 --> 05:52.000
And here is the adjectival verb to be close.

05:52.000 --> 05:55.000
近近.

05:55.000 --> 05:57.000

05:57.000 --> 05:59.000
离这儿远吗?

05:59.000 --> 06:02.000
不远,很近.

06:02.000 --> 06:03.000

06:03.000 --> 06:04.000
离这儿远吗?

06:04.000 --> 06:07.000
不远,很近.

06:07.000 --> 06:09.000

06:20.000 --> 06:23.000
Not far, very close.

06:23.000 --> 06:26.000
The conversation continues.

06:26.000 --> 06:27.000
How do I go?

06:27.000 --> 06:31.000
Is it possible to get there by walking?

06:31.000 --> 06:32.000
怎么去?

06:32.000 --> 06:35.000
走着去可以吗?

06:35.000 --> 06:36.000
怎么去?

06:36.000 --> 06:38.000
走着去可以吗?

It's possible to get there by walking.

06:41.000 --> 06:47.000
走着去可以.

06:47.000 --> 06:49.000
Here is how you say walking.

06:49.000 --> 06:53.000

06:53.000 --> 06:55.000
Here is the exchange live.

06:55.000 --> 06:56.000

07:28.000 --> 07:31.000

07:31.000 --> 07:33.000
Let's listen to another conversation

07:33.000 --> 07:36.000
that takes place in front of the Peking Hotel.

07:36.000 --> 07:37.000
Look at display 2

07:37.000 --> 07:41.000

07:41.000 --> 07:45.000
老家,民族饭店离这儿远吗?

07:45.000 --> 07:47.000
民族饭店离这儿不近.

07:47.000 --> 07:49.000
走着去可以吗?

07:49.000 --> 07:55.000
你走着去啊,远一点吧.Again.

07:55.000 --> 07:59.000
老家,民族饭店离这儿远吗?

07:59.000 --> 08:02.000
民族饭店离这儿不近.

08:02.000 --> 08:04.000
走着去可以吗?

08:04.000 --> 08:08.000
你走着去啊,远一点吧.

08:08.000 --> 08:11.000

08:11.000 --> 08:16.000
老家,民族饭店离这儿远吗?

08:16.000 --> 08:20.000

08:25.000 --> 08:31.000
民族饭店离这儿不近.

08:31.000 --> 08:34.000
The nationalities hotel isn't close.

08:34.000 --> 08:41.000
走着去可以吗?

08:41.000 --> 08:45.000
Is it possible to get there by walking?

08:45.000 --> 08:52.000
你走着去啊,远一点吧.

08:52.000 --> 08:54.000
You want to walk there?

08:54.000 --> 08:58.000
Isn't that a little far?

08:58.000 --> 09:00.000
Let's go back to Miss Novak,

09:00.000 --> 09:04.000
who you'll remember just found out she could get to the New China bookstore by walking.

09:04.000 --> 09:08.000
Listen, how do I go?

09:08.000 --> 09:17.000
Go out from the entrance, turn north, and that's Wang Fujing Boulevard.

09:17.000 --> 09:30.000
从大门出去,潮北拐,就是王府井大街.

09:30.000 --> 09:34.000
Here's how you say entrance, literally big door.

09:34.000 --> 09:37.000
大门,大门.

09:37.000 --> 09:41.000
Here's the word usually used for toward in Beijing.

09:41.000 --> 09:44.000
潮,潮.

09:44.000 --> 09:48.000
Literally,潮 means facing towards.

09:48.000 --> 09:50.000
And here's the verb to turn.

09:50.000 --> 09:54.000
拐,拐.

09:54.000 --> 10:00.000
The adverb deal in the exchange emphasizes the identity expressed by the verb 是 in the sequence.

10:00.000 --> 10:02.000
就是王府井大街.

10:02.000 --> 10:05.000
And that's Wang Fujing Boulevard.

10:05.000 --> 10:08.000
Listen to the exchange live.

10:08.000 --> 10:09.000
怎么走?

10:09.000 --> 10:15.000
从大门出去,潮北拐,就是王府井大街.

10:15.000 --> 10:18.000
Again,怎么走?

10:18.000 --> 10:24.000
从大门出去,潮北拐,就是王府井大街.

10:24.000 --> 10:27.000
Check your comprehension.

10:27.000 --> 10:30.000
怎么走?

10:30.000 --> 10:33.000
How do I go?

10:33.000 --> 10:44.000
从大门出去,潮北拐,就是王府井大街.

10:44.000 --> 10:50.000
Go out from the entrance, turn north, and that's Wang Fujing Boulevard.

10:50.000 --> 10:56.000
From the map, you can see that the verb 拐 in Chinese can be used for a 180-degree turn.

10:56.000 --> 11:01.000
The verb to turn in English is limited to 90-degree turns.

11:01.000 --> 11:06.000
Wang Fujing Boulevard has one more question to ask about going to the new China bookstore.

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
How far do I go?

11:08.000 --> 11:10.000
走多远?

11:10.000 --> 11:13.000
走多远?

11:13.000 --> 11:19.000
Go a short distance, and the first building on the east side of the road is the new China bookstore.

11:19.000 --> 11:26.000
走不远,路东的第一个大楼就是新华书店.

11:26.000 --> 11:32.000
走不远,路东的第一个大楼就是新华书店.

11:32.000 --> 11:34.000
The question 多远?

11:34.000 --> 11:38.000
How far is formed just like the questions 多大?

11:38.000 --> 11:39.000
How old?

11:39.000 --> 11:40.000
And 多久?

11:40.000 --> 11:42.000
How long?

11:42.000 --> 11:46.000
Here's the word for a large multi-story building.

11:46.000 --> 11:50.000
大楼,大楼.

11:50.000 --> 11:54.000
Here's the short form used for referring to the east side of the street.

11:54.000 --> 11:57.000
路东,路东.

11:57.000 --> 12:03.000
The short form 路东 is the usual peaking abbreviation for 路东边.

12:03.000 --> 12:08.000
Notice that the phrase 路东的 comes at the beginning of its phrase in Chinese,

12:08.000 --> 12:13.000
while in English the phrase on the east side of the road comes at the end.

12:13.000 --> 12:18.000
路东的第一个大楼,the first building on the east.

12:18.000 --> 12:21.000
Here's the exchange life.

12:21.000 --> 12:24.000
走多远?

12:24.000 --> 12:30.000
走不远,路东的第一个大楼就是新华书店.

12:30.000 --> 12:34.000
Again,走多远?

12:34.000 --> 12:40.000
走不远,路东的第一个大楼就是新华书店.

12:40.000 --> 12:42.000
Check your comprehension.

12:42.000 --> 12:46.000
走多远?

12:46.000 --> 12:48.000
How far do I go?

12:48.000 --> 12:54.000
走不远,路东的第一个大楼就是新华书店.

13:01.000 --> 13:08.000
Go a short distance and the first building on the east side of the road is the new China bookstore.

13:08.000 --> 13:10.000
Now look at display one.

13:10.000 --> 13:14.000
The following conversation takes place in front of the peaking hotel.

13:14.000 --> 13:20.000
In it you'll hear the phrase 走到第二个路口,walk to the second intersection.

13:20.000 --> 13:25.000
The verb 走 is followed by 到 instead of preceded by it.

13:25.000 --> 13:28.000
Listen to the conversation live.

13:28.000 --> 13:33.000
请问那个大楼是北京饭店吗?

13:33.000 --> 13:35.000
是北京饭店。

13:35.000 --> 13:39.000
从这儿到东丹公园去,朝哪边走?

13:39.000 --> 13:41.000
一直朝东走。

13:41.000 --> 13:43.000
走多远?

13:43.000 --> 13:51.000
走到第二个路口,路北是东丹菜市场,路南就是东丹公园。

13:51.000 --> 13:53.000
Again.

13:53.000 --> 13:58.000
请问那个大楼是北京饭店吗?

13:58.000 --> 14:00.000
是北京饭店。

14:00.000 --> 14:05.000
从这儿到东丹公园去,朝哪边走?

14:05.000 --> 14:07.000
一直朝东走。

14:07.000 --> 14:09.000
走多远?

14:09.000 --> 14:17.000
走到第二个路口,路北是东丹菜市场,路南就是东丹公园。

14:17.000 --> 14:21.000
Stay if you understood what was said.

14:21.000 --> 14:29.000
请问那个大楼是北京饭店吗?

14:29.000 --> 14:33.000
May I ask, is that building the peaking hotel?

14:33.000 --> 14:36.000
是北京饭店。

14:36.000 --> 14:38.000
Yes.

14:38.000 --> 14:47.000
从这儿到东丹公园去,朝哪边走?

14:47.000 --> 14:52.000
Which direction do you go to get from here to the Dongdan Park?

14:52.000 --> 14:57.000
一直朝东走。

14:57.000 --> 15:00.000
You go straight to the east.

15:00.000 --> 15:04.000
走多远?

15:04.000 --> 15:07.000
How far do you go?

15:07.000 --> 15:22.000
那第二个路口,路北是东丹菜市场,路南就是东丹公园。

15:22.000 --> 15:24.000
You go to the second intersection.

15:24.000 --> 15:30.000
On the north is the Dongdan Market, and just on the south is the Dongdan Park.

15:30.000 --> 15:34.000
The next two conversations review what was covered on this tape.

15:34.000 --> 15:39.000
The first conversation takes place in the east lobby of the peaking hotel.

15:39.000 --> 15:42.000
Listen to the conversation live.
