00:00.000 --> 00:06.000
Standard Chinese, a modular approach, transportation module unit 3, production tape 1.

00:06.000 --> 00:12.000
On the comprehension tape in this unit, you learn to understand a number of sentences used when taking taxis.

00:12.000 --> 00:19.000
If you feel that you might be rusty on the meaning of these sentences, go back to the end of the C1 tape and review the target list sentences.

00:19.000 --> 00:23.000
If you feel that you understand them all, you should begin learning how to say them.

00:23.000 --> 00:27.000
Listen to this first exchange which takes place on a Taipei street corner.

00:27.000 --> 00:29.000
Ai, 計程車。

00:29.000 --> 00:31.000
你到哪里?

00:31.000 --> 00:33.000
到火车站。

00:33.000 --> 00:36.000
Repeat the word for taxi.

00:36.000 --> 00:40.000
計程車。

00:40.000 --> 00:43.000
計程車。

00:43.000 --> 00:46.000
Repeat, hey taxi.

00:46.000 --> 00:51.000
Ai, 計程車。

00:51.000 --> 00:55.000
Ai, 計程車。

00:55.000 --> 00:59.000
Now repeat train station.

00:59.000 --> 01:03.000
火車站。

01:03.000 --> 01:07.000
火車站。

01:07.000 --> 01:11.000
Repeat to the train station.

01:11.000 --> 01:15.000
到火車站。

01:15.000 --> 01:19.000
到火車站。

01:19.000 --> 01:21.000
Now you take part in the conversation.

01:21.000 --> 01:26.000
Go to the train station.

01:26.000 --> 01:30.000
Ai, 計程車。

01:30.000 --> 01:33.000
到哪里?

01:33.000 --> 01:36.000
到火車站。

01:36.000 --> 01:39.000
Again.

01:39.000 --> 01:42.000
Ai, 計程車。

01:42.000 --> 01:46.000
到哪里?

01:46.000 --> 01:50.000
到火車站。

01:50.000 --> 01:54.000
Once in the taxi, the rider has some comments. Listen.

01:54.000 --> 01:57.000
你開得太快了。

01:57.000 --> 02:00.000
Repeat the verb to drive.

02:00.000 --> 02:03.000
開。

02:03.000 --> 02:06.000
開。

02:06.000 --> 02:09.000
Repeat the adjectival verb to be fast.

02:09.000 --> 02:12.000
快。

02:12.000 --> 02:15.000
快。

02:15.000 --> 02:18.000
Repeat drive quickly.

02:18.000 --> 02:21.000
開得快。

02:21.000 --> 02:25.000
開得快。

02:25.000 --> 02:29.000
This is the way to describe the manner of an action in a statement or question.

02:29.000 --> 02:36.000
Add the marker d to the action verb, such as 開, then follow it with an adjectival verb such as 快.

02:36.000 --> 02:39.000
Repeat, you're driving too fast.

02:39.000 --> 02:44.000
你開得太快了。

02:44.000 --> 02:49.000
你開得太快了。

02:49.000 --> 02:52.000
Notice the use of the marker l for new situation.

02:52.000 --> 02:55.000
It's used to show that the driving has become too fast.

02:55.000 --> 03:01.000
How do you say you're driving too fast?

03:01.000 --> 03:06.000
你開得太快了。

03:06.000 --> 03:10.000
With the formula of an action verb, marker d, an adjectival verb,

03:10.000 --> 03:14.000
you can use many words you've already learned to describe the manner of an action.

03:14.000 --> 03:18.000
For instance, the word you learned for good morning also means early.

03:18.000 --> 03:20.000
Repeat early.

03:20.000 --> 03:23.000
早。

03:23.000 --> 03:26.000
早。

03:26.000 --> 03:29.000
Now repeat came early.

03:29.000 --> 03:33.000
來得早。

03:33.000 --> 03:37.000
來得早。

03:37.000 --> 03:40.000
Repeat didn't come early.

03:40.000 --> 03:44.000
來得不早。

03:44.000 --> 03:47.000
來得不早。

03:47.000 --> 03:50.000
Notice how these manner phrases are negated.

03:50.000 --> 03:55.000
The negative marker 不 goes before the adjectival verb, not the action verb.

03:55.000 --> 04:00.000
How would you say came early?

04:00.000 --> 04:04.000
來得早。

04:04.000 --> 04:09.000
How would you say didn't come early?

04:09.000 --> 04:13.000
來得不早。

04:13.000 --> 04:16.000
Now repeat this sentence.

04:16.000 --> 04:19.000
He sells apples cheaply.

04:19.000 --> 04:26.000
蘋果他賣得很便宜。

04:26.000 --> 04:31.000
蘋果他賣得很便宜。

04:31.000 --> 04:33.000
There are two things to take note of in this sentence.

04:33.000 --> 04:38.000
First, the object is moved up front in the topic position in sentences describing manner.

04:38.000 --> 04:43.000
Second, a modifying word such as 恒 may come before the adjectival verb.

04:43.000 --> 04:45.000
Repeat again.

04:45.000 --> 04:47.000
He sells apples cheaply.

04:47.000 --> 04:54.000
蘋果他賣得很便宜。

04:54.000 --> 05:01.000
蘋果他賣得很便宜。

05:01.000 --> 05:07.000
How would you say he doesn't sell things cheaply?

05:07.000 --> 05:10.000
他賣得不便宜。

05:10.000 --> 05:17.000
How would you say he came early yesterday?

05:17.000 --> 05:21.000
他昨天來得早。

05:21.000 --> 05:28.000
How do you say he didn't come early today?

05:28.000 --> 05:32.000
他今天來得不早。

05:32.000 --> 05:33.000
Now repeat.

05:33.000 --> 05:35.000
He drives too fast.

05:35.000 --> 05:41.000
他開車開得太快。

05:41.000 --> 05:46.000
他開車開得太快。

05:46.000 --> 05:48.000
In a complete sentence describing manner,

05:48.000 --> 05:50.000
the entire action is said as the topic,

05:50.000 --> 05:54.000
which is followed by the main verb stating the manner.

05:54.000 --> 05:55.000
Repeat again.

05:55.000 --> 06:04.000
他開車開得太快。

06:04.000 --> 06:09.000
他開車開得太快。

06:09.000 --> 06:11.000
Try saying it ahead of the speaker.

06:11.000 --> 06:17.000
He drives too fast.

06:17.000 --> 06:23.000
他開車開得太快。

06:23.000 --> 06:24.000
Again.

06:24.000 --> 06:37.000
他開車開得太快。

06:37.000 --> 06:39.000
Now let's return to the taxi.

06:39.000 --> 06:41.000
The passenger continues.

06:41.000 --> 06:46.000
我們有時間,來得及。

06:46.000 --> 06:48.000
Repeat the word for time.

06:48.000 --> 06:54.000
時間。

06:54.000 --> 06:55.000
Repeat.

06:55.000 --> 06:56.000
We have time.

06:56.000 --> 07:05.000
我們有時間。

07:05.000 --> 07:07.000
Now repeat the idiom.

07:07.000 --> 07:09.000
Can make it in time.

07:09.000 --> 07:17.000
來得及。

07:17.000 --> 07:18.000
Repeat.

07:18.000 --> 07:19.000
We have time.

07:19.000 --> 07:21.000
We can make it in time.

07:21.000 --> 07:34.000
我們有時間,來得及。

07:34.000 --> 07:35.000
How do you say,

07:35.000 --> 07:36.000
We have time.

07:36.000 --> 07:43.000
We can make it in time.

07:43.000 --> 07:48.000
我們有時間,來得及。

07:48.000 --> 07:51.000
Let's review some of the vocabulary you've learned so far in this tape.

07:51.000 --> 07:56.000
What's the word for taxi?

07:56.000 --> 08:00.000
計程車。

08:00.000 --> 08:06.000
What's the word for train station?

08:06.000 --> 08:10.000
火車站。

08:10.000 --> 08:16.000
開。

08:16.000 --> 08:20.000
What's the word for to be fast?

08:20.000 --> 08:23.000
快。

08:23.000 --> 08:28.000
And what's the idiom for can make it in time?

08:28.000 --> 08:32.000
來得及。

08:32.000 --> 08:35.000
Now listen to this request.

08:35.000 --> 08:38.000
請慢一點開。

08:38.000 --> 08:40.000
We have to repeat the adjective verb to be slow.

08:40.000 --> 08:46.000
慢。

08:46.000 --> 08:49.000
Another way to describe manner in Chinese

08:49.000 --> 08:52.000
is to have an adjective verb such as 慢

08:52.000 --> 08:55.000
and the word 一點 come before the action verb.

08:55.000 --> 08:56.000
Repeat.

08:56.000 --> 08:58.000
Drive a little more slowly.

08:58.000 --> 09:06.000
慢一點開。

09:06.000 --> 09:16.000
请慢一点开。

09:16.000 --> 09:23.000
请慢一点开。

09:23.000 --> 09:33.000

10:15.000 --> 10:25.000
请慢一点开。

10:25.000 --> 10:37.000
请慢一点开。

10:37.000 --> 10:47.000
请慢一点开。

10:47.000 --> 11:14.000
请慢一点开。

11:14.000 --> 11:24.000

11:24.000 --> 11:34.000

11:34.000 --> 11:54.000

11:54.000 --> 12:04.000

12:04.000 --> 12:14.000

14:06.000 --> 14:16.000

15:34.000 --> 15:44.000
请慢一点开。

15:44.000 --> 15:54.000
请慢一点开。

15:54.000 --> 16:04.000
请慢一点开。

16:04.000 --> 16:12.000

16:22.000 --> 16:32.000
请慢一点开。

16:32.000 --> 16:42.000
请慢一点开。

16:42.000 --> 16:52.000
请慢一点开。

16:52.000 --> 17:02.000
请你在前边那个银行停一下。

17:02.000 --> 17:12.000
请你在前边那个银行停一下。

17:12.000 --> 17:22.000
请你在前边那个银行停一下。
