110120	114040	赵同志不在这。
114040	116920	Kamar Zhao isn't here.
116920	121720	If you had any problems with those sentences, rewind the tape and work on them some more.
121720	126520	If you understood them all and were able to give equivalents, you should begin learning how to say them.
126520	128440	Listen to this first exchange.
128440	131960	Kamar Liu is talking with Mr. Anderson.
131960	134160	请问你是哪的人?
134160	136320	我是德州人。
136320	139160	You'll notice that this exchange is polite in flavor.
139160	144440	The word 请问, may I ask, is a polite way of starting off when you're asking for information.
144440	146720	Repeat, may I ask?
146720	149600	请问。
149600	152840	请问。
152840	156240	请问。
156240	160240	The word 请问 is always used at the beginning of the sentence.
160240	163480	Repeat, may I ask, where are you from?
163480	169120	请问你是哪的人?
169120	174000	请问你是哪的人?
174000	179200	The answer to this polite question is the same as it would be for the plain question, where are you from?

225920	229880	请问你是哪的人?
229880	233840	我是德州人。
233840	237000	What's the word for Texas?
237000	239280	德州。
239280	245640	How do you say, may I ask, where are you from?
245640	250800	请问你是哪的人?
250800	252520	Let's continue the conversation.
252520	255360	This time you ask Kamar Liu where she's from.
255360	262280	You'll get a confirmation to your answer as well as an answer.
262280	265680	请问你是哪的人?
265680	270600	我是上海人。
270600	272880	The conversation continues.
272880	274840	Kamar Liu is asking about your wife.
274840	276720	Listen。
276720	280400	请问安德森夫人是哪的人?
280400	283880	她也是德州人。
283880	286320	Mrs. Anderson is a Texan too.
286320	289000	Repeat the word for also or too.
289000	291720	也。
291720	294600	也。
294600	297640	也。
297640	301840	It's important to remember that the adverb 也 goes before the verb.
301840	304880	Repeat, she's from Texas too.
304880	309360	她也是德州人。
309360	313680	她也是德州人。
313680	319960	How do you say, I'm from Texas too?
319960	322920	我也是德州人。
322920	326200	Try answering Kamar Liu's question about Mrs. Anderson.
326200	329080	Say that she's from Texas too.
329080	333840	安德森夫人是哪的人?
333840	336680	她也是德州人。
336680	338080	Again。
338080	342600	安德森夫人是哪的人?
342600	346360	她也是德州人。
346360	350120	What's the word for California?
350120	351920	加州。
351920	357000	How do you say, he's from California?
357000	359800	她是加州人。
359800	364240	What's the word for also or too?
364240	366000	也。
366000	372080	How do you say, she's from California too?
372080	376000	她也是加州人。
376000	381680	You may have noticed that Mrs. Anderson was not called 安太太 in the question as you might have expected.
381680	384320	Listen again.
384320	387000	安德森夫人是哪的人?
387000	390000	她也是德州人。
390000	394840	In the People's Republic of China, the word 夫人 is used as a title for married women.
394840	399360	Unlike the word 太太, the word 夫人 does not double as the word for wife.
399360	402080	Repeat the word for Mrs. or Madam.
402080	405000	夫人。
405000	408000	夫人。
408000	410320	夫人。
410320	413280	For the remainder of this tape, assume that we're in Peking.
413280	418240	This means that whenever you hear the title Mrs., the appropriate equivalent is 夫人。
418240	420720	Repeat Mrs. Anderson.
420720	425080	安德森夫人。
425080	429320	安德森夫人。
429320	432360	安德森夫人。
432360	442240	Another point to make note of is that in the PRC, foreign surnames are given multi-syllabic equivalents instead of the monosyllabic surnames the Chinese themselves have.
442240	450960	How do you say, Mrs. Anderson is also a Texan?
450960	456920	安德森夫人也是德州人。
456920	462640	Just as 太太 is no longer used in the PRC to mean Mrs., neither is it used to mean wife.
462640	466800	By the same token,先生 is no longer used to mean husband.
466800	471080	The word that is now used 爱人 can be neither husband or wife.
471080	472720	Listen.
472720	474760	她是英国人吗?
474760	476000	不是。
476000	477560	她不是英国人。
477560	479320	她爱人呢?
479320	482920	她爱人也不是英国人。
482920	486600	The word for spouse 爱人 is the verb to love.
486600	490680	I with a falling tone followed by the word for person.
490680	493520	Repeat the word for wife or husband.
493520	495440	爱人。
495440	497440	爱人。
497440	500320	爱人。
500320	503960	Notice that in the word 爱人,the second syllable has the neutral tone.
503960	507960	Repeat the phrase that can mean either his wife or her husband.
507960	510960	她爱人。
510960	514120	她爱人。
514120	517200	她爱人。
517200	524600	Notice that 她,which can mean he or she, is used here to mean his or hers, without anything changed or added to it.
524600	528680	Now repeat the sentence, his wife is in English either.
528680	534400	她爱人也不是英国人。
534400	538440	她爱人也不是英国人。
538440	543640	You'll notice that the adverb 也 also still goes before the verb, although not directly.
543640	546280	The negative adverb 不, intervenes.
546280	552440	How do you say his wife is in English either?
552440	556280	她爱人也不是英国人。
556280	560840	How do you say I'm not a Texan?
560840	563960	我不是德州人。
563960	569280	How do you say I'm not a Texan either?
569280	574440	我也不是德州人。
574440	579280	What's the word for husband or wife in the PRC?
579280	581280	爱人。
581280	587840	How do you say his wife is in English either?
587840	592080	她爱人也不是英国人。
592080	594920	Now you take the part of Mr. Anderson in Peking.
594920	598800	You're at a reception talking with Cameron Huang, who is interested in England.
598800	604000	You're being asked about some fellow visitors, but you know they're not from England.
604000	608840	他是英国人吗?
608840	612000	不是,他不是英国人。
612000	617000	他爱人呢?
617000	623120	他爱人也不是英国人。
623120	625080	Try it again.
625080	629600	他是英国人吗?
629600	632960	不是,他不是英国人。
632960	638000	他爱人呢?
638000	642360	他爱人也不是英国人。
642360	649160	Now let's eavesdrop as Mr. Martin, the Canadian representative talks with Cameron Zhao at the same reception.
649160	652160	赵同志,你是哪儿的人?
652160	654040	我是青岛人。
654040	656240	青岛在哪儿?
656240	658640	青岛在山东。
658640	663640	青岛 is a beautifully situated city, as well as one of the best seaports in China.
663640	665800	Repeat,青岛。
665800	669160	青岛。
669160	672440	青岛。
672440	676400	青岛。
676400	679000	Let's listen to the last two lines again.
679000	680680	青岛在哪儿?
680680	683680	青岛在山东。
683680	686520	The word,哪儿, with a low tone means where.
686520	687960	Repeat,where?
687960	690680	哪儿。
690680	693440	哪儿。
693440	695880	哪儿。
695880	700360	Since we're interested in location here, the verb,在, to be at, in or on is used.
700360	701960	Try repeating it.
701960	704680	在。
704680	707440	在。
707440	710240	在。
710240	712880	As with the question words, who or what?
712880	716200	The question word,哪儿, follows the verb at the end of the sentence.
716200	718960	Repeat,where is Qingdao?
718960	722800	青岛在哪儿?
722800	726240	青岛在哪儿?
726240	731000	In the answer to the question, the question word,哪儿, is replaced with new information.
731000	733640	Repeat,青岛 is in Shandong.
733640	738200	青岛在山东。
738200	742360	青岛在山东。
742360	745720	What's the word for where?
745720	747760	哪儿。
747760	752960	How do you say,where is Qingdao?

755840	761840	How do you say,青岛 is in Shandong?
761840	766200	青岛在山东。
766200	767920	Listen to a similar exchange.
767920	770800	Mr. Martin could have phrased his question like this.
770800	774160	请问,你老家在哪儿?
774160	777120	我老家在山东。
777120	779600	Repeat the word for original home.
779600	783000	老家。
783000	786400	老家。
786400	789320	老家。
789320	791920	The sentence,你老家在哪儿?
791920	794800	is translated as,where is your family from?
794800	798600	Literally,it would be something like,where is your original home?
798600	802240	Repeat,may I ask,where is your family from?
802240	808400	请问,你老家在哪儿?
808400	812720	请问,你老家在哪儿?
812720	816400	Try it again,ask,may I ask,where is your family from?
816400	822600	This time you get a reply,as well as a confirmation.

1012600	1016160	Back at the reception, Mr. Martin is looking for someone. Listen.
1016160	1017920	陈同志在哪儿?
1017920	1020320	他在哪儿。
1020320	1024440	The word 哪儿 with a falling tone means there.
1024440	1028520	As with the words for which and that, naga naga.
1028520	1033880	The only difference between the word for where 哪儿 and there 哪儿 is the tone.
1033880	1044800	Notice that both question words which and where 哪儿 have the low tone, while that and there 哪儿 have the falling tone. Repeat there.
1044800	1052040	哪儿。
