00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Standard Chinese, a modular approach, directions module unit 5, production tape 1.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:13,000
On the comprehension tape in this unit, you learn to understand questions and answers used in finding street addresses when you're lost.

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

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Put the following sentences into English.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:35,000
1.对不起。 Excuse me. 你有什么事啊?What can I do for you? 请问这条路是什么路?

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:48,000
May I ask, what street is this? 这是南京西路。This is Nanjing West Road. 这是南京西路。This is Nanjing West Road. 你找什么地方?

7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:01:07,000
What place are you looking for? 我找南京东路,一段,五十四项。I'm looking for lane 54 of Nanjing East Road, section 1. 你走错了,这是南京西路。

8
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:15,000
You've gone the wrong way. This is Nanjing West Road. 你往那边走。

9
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:25,000
You go that way. 过三条街,就是南京东路一段。

10
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Cross 3 Street, and that's Nanjing East Road, section 1. 到了一段以后,请再问别人吧。

11
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:50,000
After you've gotten to section 1, please ask another person. 好,谢谢。

12
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Good, thank you. 谢谢。

13
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Number 2. 请问,我弄在哪里?

14
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:06,000
May I ask, where is Ellie Fod? 你再往前走一点。

15
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
You walk ahead a little more. 你再往前走一点。

16
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
If you had any trouble with these sentences, rewind the tape and work on them some more. 如果有什么问题,重新再说。

17
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
If you understood them all, begin learning how to say them. 如果你明白了,开始学会怎么说。

18
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Listen to this first exchange. We're in Taipei. 听到这个第一次交通,我们在台北。

19
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
David He. 你有什么事啊?

20
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
The American woman is greeted with a helpful reply. 美国人是怀疑了一句话,现在你尽快评论。

21
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Get someone's attention by saying, excuse me. 对不起。

22
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
你有什么事啊?

23
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Again. 对不起。

24
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
你有什么事啊?

25
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
The conversation continues. Listen. 请问,这条路是什么路?

26
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
这是南京西路。

27
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:06,000
The counter for street is the counter for long twisting things such as roads, rivers, and even dragons. 这条路是什么路?

28
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
一条路。

29
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
一条路。

30
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Repeat this street. 这条路。

31
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
这条路。

32
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Repeat, what street is this? 这条路是什么路?

33
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:37,000
这条路是什么路?

34
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:53,000
As with many questions you've seen, the question word is at the end of the sentence. Repeat. May I ask what street this is? 请问,这条路是什么路?

35
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,000
请问,这条路是什么路?

36
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:07,000
In English we say, what street is this? But in Chinese you say, what street is this street? You cannot drop the last word 路.

37
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:20,000
How do you say, may I ask, what street is this? 请问,这条路是什么路?

38
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Try asking the question yourself to get a reply. May I ask, what street is this? 请问,这条路是什么路?

39
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
这是南京西路。

40
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Again. 请问,这条路是什么路?

41
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
这是南京西路。

42
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
The conversation might go on like this. 你找什么地方?

43
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
我找南京东路,一段,五十四项。

44
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Repeat the verb to look for. 找,找。

45
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Repeat the name of the street, 南京 East Road. 南京东路。

46
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Nanjing Dong Road. 南京东路。

47
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:31,000
In Taipei and many cities in South China including Shanghai and Canton, the street direction is given after the street name as in Nanjing East Road.

48
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:40,000
But in Peking and a few other northern cities, the street direction is given as it is in English, at the beginning as in South Chang'an Street.

49
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Repeat, I'm looking for Nanjing East Road.

50
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:55,000
我找南京东路。

51
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Repeat the word for block or section. 断。

52
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Repeat section one. 一段,一段。

53
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Just as with floors of a building, Arlo, Sanlo, the sections of a street, 一段,二段,

54
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:29,000
indicate an order, but do not need to use the prefix D, as in the 一天, the first day.

55
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Now repeat, I'm looking for Nanjing East Road, section one. 我找南京东路,一段。

56
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:44,000
我找南京东路,一段。

57
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Repeat the word for lane. 向。

58
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Repeat lane 54. 五十四向。

59
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:17,000
In giving a Chinese address, you proceed from larger to smaller areas. Repeat, I'm looking for lane 54 of Nanjing East Road, section one. 我找南京东路,一段。

60
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Again. 我找南京东路,一段。

61
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:39,000
我找南京东路,一段,五十四向。

62
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Try answering the question yourself now. You're looking for lane 54 of Nanjing East Road, section one. 你找什么地方?

63
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:12,000
我找南京东路,一段,五十四向。Again. 你找什么地方? 我找南京东路,一段,五十四向。

64
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Try the whole conversation from the start. First break in with excuse me, then ask what street this is.

65
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:30,000
You're looking for lane 54 of Nanjing East Road, section one. 对不起。

66
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:38,000
你有什么事啊? 请问这条路是什么路?

67
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:51,000
这是南京西路,你找什么地方? 我找南京东路,一段,五十四向。

68
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Try it again. First say excuse me, then ask what street this is. You're looking for lane 54 of Nanjing East Road, section one. 对不起。

69
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:12,000
你有什么事啊? 请问这条路是什么路?

70
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,000
这是南京西路,你找什么地方?

71
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,000
我找南京东路,一段,五十四向。

72
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Here's some more practice on addresses. How do you say Nanjing East Road, section one? 南京东路,一段。

73
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:49,000
How do you say Nanjing West Road, section one? 南京西路,一段。

74
00:09:49,000 --> 00:10:00,000
How do you say Nanjing East Road, section two? 南京东路,二段。

75
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Here's the name of another main street in Taipei. Repeat it after the speaker. 中山北路,中山北路。

76
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Repeat,中山北路,section three. 中山北路,三段。

77
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:38,000
How do you say中山北路,section two? 中山北路,二段。

78
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Listen now as the conversation continues. 你走错了,这是南京西路,你往那边走,过三条街,就是南京东路一段。

79
00:10:51,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Oh,我走错了。Repeat the compound verb to go the wrong way. 走错,走错。

80
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:31,000
The verb 走错, like 看见, is a compound verb a result. The first verb 走 is the action which was done. The second verb 错, to be wrong, shows what the result of the action is. Repeat, oh, I've gone the wrong way. 哦,我走错了。

81
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Try saying it ahead of the speaker. Oh, I've gone the wrong way. 哦,我走错了。

82
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Probably spouting to the directions yourself now, say that you've gone the wrong way. 你走错了,这是南京西路,你往那边走,过三条街,就是南京东路一段。

83
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Oh,我走错了。Again, 你走错了,这是南京西路,你往那边走,过三条街,就是南京东路一段。

84
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Oh,我走错了。

85
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Listen as the American restates the directions. 你说,我往那边走,过三条街,就是南京东路一段。

86
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:34,000
You say,我往那边走,过三条街,就是南京东路一段。 是不是? 是。

87
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Several modules ago, you learned that the verb 说 meant to speak or to talk. Now you see that it has another use. It can mean to say that. When used this way, it can be followed by a complete sentence. Repeat, you say that I should go that way.

88
00:12:52,000 --> 00:13:03,000
You say,我往那边走,你说,我往那边走。

89
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Notice that the American adjusts his pronunciation to fit that of the other speaker. This is considered polite usage. Notice also that in the English translation, the word should is added. This captures the meaning of the Chinese. Although the Chinese does not add such a word. Repeat again, you say that I should go that way.

90
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:33,000
You say,我往那边走,你说,我往那边走。

91
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:46,000
For saying it ahead of the speaker, you say that I should go that way. 你说,我往那边走。

92
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:54,000
I repeat the verb to cross. 过,过。

93
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Repeat, cross three streets. 过三条街。

94
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Repeat, I cross three streets and that's Nanjing East Road section one. Is that it? 过三条街就是南京东路一段,是不是?

95
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Again,过三条街就是南京东路一段,是不是?

96
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Repeat, oh, I've gone the wrong way. 我走错了。

97
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Oh,我走错了。

98
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Repeat, you say I should go that way. 你说,我往那边走。

99
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
You say,我往那边走。

100
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Repeat, I cross three streets and that's Nanjing East Road section one. 过三条街就是南京东路一段,是不是?

101
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:22,000
过三条街就是南京东路一段。 过三条街就是南京东路一段。

102
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:32,000
There's one more piece of advice for the American. Listen. 到了一段以后,再问别人吧。

103
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Now let's start the conversation from the beginning. You're looking for a lane fifty-four of Nanjing East Road section one. 我们要开始从最初开始。

104
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:43,000

105
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Excuse me. 对不起。 你有什么事啊?

106
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:58,000
May I ask, what street is this? 请问,这条路是什么路?

107
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,000
这是南京西路,你找什么地方?

I'm looking for lane fifty-four of Nanjing East Road section one. 我找南京东路一段五十四项。

109
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:29,000
你走错了,这是南京西路,你往那边走,过三条街就是南京东路一段。

110
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Oh, I've gone the wrong way. 哦,我走错了。

111
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:46,000
You say that I should go that way. 你说我往那边走?

112
00:16:46,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Cross three streets, and that's Nanjing East Road section one, is that right? 过三条街,就是南京东路一段,是不是?

113
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:09,000
是,到了一段以后再问别人吧。

114
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Fine, thank you. 好,谢谢。

115
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,000
You may want to rewind the tape and try the conversation again. 你 may want to rewind the tape and try the conversation again.

请问,五弄在哪里? 请问,五弄在哪里?

123
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:33,000
For asking the question yourself ahead of the speaker, may I ask, where is alley five? 请问,五弄在哪里?

124
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Try it again, this time you get a reply. May I ask, where is alley five? 请问,五弄在哪里?

00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:51,000

You use the ever zai to mean next in a series of events or to mean more when only one action is mentioned. 再往前走一点。

135
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:17,000
