Topics in the areas of politics, international relations, mores, etc., which may be considered as controversial from some points of view, are sometimes included in the language instruction for DLIFLC students since military personnel may find themselves in positions where a clear understanding of conversations or written materials of this nature will be essential to their mission. The presence of controversial statements-whether real or apparent- in DLIFLC materials should not be construed as representing the opinions of the writers, the DLIFLC, or the Department of Defense.

PREFACE

Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach originated in an interagency conference held at the Foreign Service Institute in August 1973 to address che need generally felt in the U.S. Government language training community for improving and updating Chinese materials to reflect current usage in Beijing and Taipsi.

The conference resolved to develop materials which were flexible enough in form and content to meet the requirements of a wide range of government agencies and academic institutions.

A Project Board was established consisting of representatives of the Ier.tr al Intelligence Agency Language Learning Center, the Defense Language Institute, the State Department's Foreign Service Institute, the Cryptologic School cf the National. Security Agency, and the U.S. Office of Education, later Joined by the Canadian Forces Foreign Language School. The representatives have included Arthur T. McNeill, John Hopkins, and John Boag (CIA); Colonel John F. Elder III, Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy Gibian, and Major Bernard Muller-Thym (.DLl); James R. Frith and John B. Ratliff III (FSl); Kazuo Shitama (NEA)p Richard T. Thompson and Julia Petrov (OE); and Lieutenant Colonel George Kozoriz (CFFLS).

The Project Board set up the Chinese Core Curriculum Project in 197b in space provided at the Foreign Service Institute, Each of the six U.S. and Canadian government agencies provided funds and other assistance.

Gerard P. Kok was appointed project coordinator, and a planning council was formed consisting of Mr. Kok, Frances Li of the Defense Language Institute, Patricia O’Connor of the University of Texas, Earl M. Hickerson of the Language Learning Center, and James Wrenn of Brown University. In the fall of 1977, Lucille A. Barale was appointed deputy project coordinator. David W. Dellinger of the Language Learning Center and Charles R. Sheehan of the Foreign Service Institute also served on the planning council and contributed material to the project. The planning council drew up the original overall design for the materials and met regularly to review their development.

Writers for the first half of the materials were John H. T. Harvey, Lucille A. Barale, and Roberta S. Barry, who worked in close cooperation with the planning council and with the Chinese staff of the Foreign Service Institute. Mr. Harvey developed the instructional formats of the comprehension and production self-study materials, and also designed the communicationbased classroom activities and wrote the teacher’s guides. Lucille A. Barale and Roberta S. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. By 197^ Thomas E. Madden and Susan C. Pola had Joined the staff. Led by Mg. Barale, they have worked as a team to produce the materials subsequent to Module 6.

Administrative assistance was provided at various times by Vincent Basciano, Lisa A. Bowden, Jill W, Ellis, Donna Fong, Renee T. C. Liang, Thomas E. Madden, Susan C. Pola, and Kathleen Strype.

The production of tape recordings was directed by Jose M. Ramirez of the Foreign Service Institute Recording Studio. The Chinese script was voiced by Ms. Chao, Ms. Chen, Mr. Chen, Ms. Diao, Me. Hu, Mr. Khuo, Mr. Li , and Ms. Yang. The English script was read by Ms. Barale, Ms. Barry, Mr, Basciano, Ms. Ellis, Ms. Pola, and Ms. Strype.

The graphics were produced by John McClelland of the Foreign Service Institute Audio-Visual staff, under the general supervision of Joseph A. Sadote, Chief of Audio-Visual,

Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach was field-tested with the cooperation of Brown University; the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center; the Foreign Service Institute; the Language Learning Center; the United States Air force Academy; the University of Illinois; and the University of Virginia.

Colonel Samuel L. Stapleton and Colonel Thomas G. Foster, Commandants of the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center, authorized the DLIFLC support necessary for preparation of this edition of the course materials. This support included coordination, graphic arts, editing, typing, proofreading, printing, and materials necessary to carry out these tasks.

1. A: Nǐ dào náli qù?

Where are you going?

I’m going to a coffeehouse.

Notes on No. 1

Qu is used as the verb "to go” when there is a destination implied or stated, as in ’’going to the country” and ’’going somewhere.” The verb zǒu, ”to leave,” is used for sentences such as *'l*m going (leaving) now,” W& jciànzài zou le. Wǒ xiànzàj qù le means ”l’m going there now,” implying the destination "there."

W3 dàc Shanghai qù. I am going to Shanghai.

Tā yě qu.                He ia going there too.

Because qù is an action verb, it is made negative with bù except when you are talking about completed action. Here are some examples of qù used, in various aspects:

He is not going.

He did not go yesterday. (COMPLETED ACTION)

Now he is not going. (Originally, he was going to go. NEW SITUATION)

He has never gone there.

Dào...qù: In this exchange dào is not the full verb meaning "to arrive,” but is the prepositional verb "to." The prepositional verb phrase beginning with dào indicates the destination. Notice that prepositional verb phrases in Chinese precede the main verb, while in English they

She stayed in Hong Kong three days.

Please change it for me.

I'm going to a coffeehouse.

A prepositional verb is always followed by a noun or noun phrase that is its object.

Kafeitīng, ’’coffeehouse¹¹: Some people say that the coffeehouse was a European concept first adopted by the Japanese and then transplanted to Taiwan. Coffeehouses in Taiwan are comfortable, leisurely places where a person can linger over a cup of something and talk with a friend for hours, to a background of recorded light music. Some coffeehouses have become quite cosmopolitan, offering a dozen kinds of coffee in addition to a variety of fruit drinks and soft drinks. Sometimes there may also he a short menu including items such as fried rice, noodles, sandwiches, hamburgers, and ice cream.

Notes on No, 2

The verb shīdao means ”to know" or "to know of," Another verb, rènshi, also translates into English as "to know,” but in the sense of "to be acquainted with," "to recognise.¹’

Notice that in the affirmative the verb zhīdao ends in a Neutral tone, while in the negative it ends in a Falling tone (bu zhīdào),

The verb zhīdao is a state verb. State verbs describe qualities or conditions (da^ "to be large"; guī, "to be expensive”). Knowing (zhídao),, wanting (xiang or y£o), and liking (xīhuan) are all considered states. As a state verb, shldao can only be made negative with bu (never me i), jShjdao can be used with the marker le for new situations.

Notes on No. 5

LÙkSu, ’’intersection’¹: Literally, this word means ’’road opening.”

Completion -le in the sentence above marks completed action but not past tense. It shows the completion of one action in the sentence in relation to another hut does not indicate whether that action is past, present, or future. In the English translation, the time relationship between the two actions is indicated by the word "when”: "When you have reached the intersection, then you go to the right." In a more formal style, the sentence could be translated as ’’Having reached the Intersects you go to the right."

The adverb sal is used for "then" in commands and suggestions. It usually indicates the next step in a suggested sequence of actions, as in "First you go left, and then, when you have reached the intersection, you go right,"

Bánhou, ’’(and) after that”: When giving directions or describing a contemplated series of steps, rSnhBu is often followed by zàl.

Shanghai,                        Shanghai.

Zhídaq_le means ”1 know now” in the sense of '’Before, I didn’t know how to get there, but now I know.” (The expression is translated into more idiomatic English as ”ī’ve got it now.”) The state verb zhīdao plus new-situation le indicate a change from not knowing to knowing. Here iB another example of zhīdao and new-situation le:

WS cSngqiín bù zhīdàc tā zbù aai náli, xíunzài zhīdao le.

Bū shi: Notice that the question In exchange 9 is not answered with bu duī. The expression bú duī is as rude in Chinese as "you're wrong” is in English (except when a teacher is correcting a student).

Fànguanzi, "restaurant": Fàndiàr. refers to either a restaurant or a hoteīT Fànguǎnzi means "restaurant^ The usual Beijing version of thia word is fanguǎnr (pronounced as if written fàngu&r). The ending -r is used frequently in Beijing but in Taiwan is rarely used by Taiwanese speakers of Standard Chinese, w

Adding -r to a syllable usually causes the pronunciation of the base l^uS            syllable to change. It will be easier and more practical for you to examine

is             each -r word as it is introduced in the course of study.

You have already learned the word yìdiǎnr, which is actually pronounced yìdjǎr. From the examples yidíSinr and fànguanr you can see that when -r is added to a syllable that ends with n, the /n/ sound disappears

| completely.

Although adding -r causes pronunciation changes in most syllables, these changes are not represented in the Pinyin system of romanization.

I Pinyin spelling rules state that the ending -r should simply be tacked on the           ^at the ^end °? ^a syllable, regardless of whether or not the pronunciation

j               of the base syllable is changed by this addition.

Xiang, "towards'’: The prepositional verb xiàng may be used in most of the same ways that wang is used. You will probably hear wàng (w£ng) more I frequently than the literary-sounding xiang.

Is the Dōngdān Movie Theater in this area?

Yes, It’s in this area.

Notes on Ho, 1

Dōngdǎn is the name of a district in Beijing to the east and south of the Palace Museum (Gùgōng Bowuyuān}, at the intersection of Dong Chángān Jiē and Dōngdǎn Běi Dàjiě.(See map of Beijing preceding the Target Lists.

Literally, diànyǐngyuan means ’’electric-shadow hall,”

Zhèr fùjcn has the structure of a possessive phrase:

2. A: líī zhídao diànyíngyuàn fujīn you meiyou yínhǎng?

B: You. Diànyǐngyuàn fùjìn you (yige) yínhang.

Bo you know whether there is a bank in the vicinity of the movie theater?

Yes. There is fl bank in the vicinitj of the movie theater.

Note on No, 2

Nī zhidao,_t.you meiyou yíhárigī could also be translated as ^lfDo you know if there’s a bank...?” When you want to ask "whether/if” in Chinese, use a yes/no-choice question.

Notice that in English the ’beginning of the first sentence in exchange 2 is in question form: "Do you know...7" But the Chinese is in statement form: Nī zhīdao.■■. To be perfectly logical, the Chinese would use either the question form nī zhīdao bu zhidao.._. or nī zhīūao., .ma? But if these .°*           forms were used, the sentence would sound awkward, or even ungrammatical,

Bote on No. 3

Nī zhīdao bu zhidao: To ask "Do you know...?¹’ in a question-word question, nǐ zhīdao bu zhidao and nī zhīdao...ma? are preferred. Nī zhīdao may also occur, especially in long or complex questions.

1». A: Cong zher dào war qù, zěnme zou?

B: Chūle zhàige fàndiàn wàng dong zǒu.

How do I get there from here?

When you have gone out of the hotel, walk to the east.

Notes on No, h

Chū, "to go out,” ^1lto exit": This verb is usually not used alone, but is followed by an object (chū menr, "go out the door”) or used in compound verbs such as chūqu, ”to go out." (Compound verbs are introduced in the next unit.) To say that you are going out without specifying the place, you may use Wǒ zou le, "I’m leaving,”

2hèige: In the second sentence in exchange U, zheige is ’unstressed. It is translated as ’’the," not as "this." In Chinese, unstressed zheige and neige are used more frequently than "this" and "that" are used in English. It is often better to translate zhèige or nàige as "the." (Remember, however, that "the" is not always expressed by a word in Chinese, as in Yínháng shēnme shíhou guan měn? "What time does the bank close?")

Notes on No. 5

The element -bianr (-bian) means "side." When it is added to a direction word, the word becomes a place name. For instance, beihianr is a noun and names a place, as in Diànyīngyuàn zài nàige fàndiàn běibianr, "The movie theater is on the north side of that hotel?' Del, on the other hand, names a direction, and is the form usually used with~wang, "towards": Nī wàng bei zǒu, "You go to the north," The other direction words (dong, nǎr., xx, zuo, end you) may also be used as the name of a place (in conbina-i tion with -bianr) and as the name of a direction. Remember that the ending -bianr is pronounced as if it were written -biar. (See Unit 1, Notes on Additional Required Vocabulary.)

Beibianr, nǎnbianr: These location words are nouns (acting as topics)| in Chinese. They are translated into English as prepositional phrases (acting as adverbs).

• 6, B: Diǎayīngyuǎn jiù sài Dōngdǎn Caishichangde xībianr.

The movie theater is just on the west side of the Dōngdǎn Market.

Notes on Ho. ě

Jiù, "right"exactly,” "just": In earlier material this word was translated as "right." In this sentence, Jiù is translated as "just,” to avoid confusion with the direction "right" (you).

Dōngdǎn Càishichǎngàe xībianr, "the west side of the Dóngdāu Market,"

or, more literally, "the Dōngdǎn Markets west side"? Notice that this       B    sa-long modifying phrase is marked with -āe, in contrast to zher fùjìn.          ^B -

Direction words: The conventional Chinese order for the points on the compass is dong, nan, xī, bed, "east, south, west, north,'¹ Direction names are a part of many Chinese place names. Here are some examples:

• 7. A: Wo chūle zhěige fandian wang dong zǒu, dui bu dui 7

B1 Duì le.

• 8. A: Hǎo, běibianr shi Dōngdǎn Caishichang. Nánbianr ne?

Ē: Nánbianr shi Dōngdǎn Gongyuan.

When I have gone out of the hotel, I walk to the east. la that correctī

That’s correct.

Okay, on the north side is the Dongdǎn Market. Hew about on the south side?

On the south side is Dōngdǎn Park.

• 9. A: Diànyīngyuàn Jiù zài càishichǎngde xībianr shi bu shi?

• B: Shi.

The movie theater is Just on the west side of the market, is that it?

Yes.

Location words, and shi, yōu, and zài: Shi, yōu, and zài are translated into English as some form of the verb "to be.¹¹ The English translations ray mask the differences in meaning among the three verbs. Shi is used for identity, zài is used for location; and yěu is used for existence.

REFERENCE LIST TRANSLATION LITERAL TRANSLATION

In the first example, it is possible to say Běibianr shi Dongdǎn Zbishichang because the market occupies the whole north aide of the street. You would probably not phrase the sentence this way if you were talking about the location of a telephone booth or a newsstand.

Notice the difference in word order between sentences with shi and sentences with zài.

Motes on No. j,ū

Qù kàn: The verb qù, like the verb lai, is frequently followed by & phrase expressing the purpose of the action.

YiqiĚn, ’’before”: Notice that in Chinese yīqián conies at the end of the clause, while in English ’’before'¹ comes at the beginning.

Yige: When the word yíge is stressed., it means "one.” When the word is unstressed or toneless, it means ”a" or "an."

Notes on No. 11

ràndijn lībianr you...? This question illustrates another way in which sentences containing zài and you may differ: Eài allows the noun to be placed at the beginning of the sentence, making the noun DEFINITE. You allows the noun to be placed at the end of the sentence, making the noun INDEFINITE. In English, "a/an” and "the” express the idea of indefinite and definite. In Chinese, word order is used to express the same idea.

Xiǎomàibù zai fàndiàn          The variety shop is in the hotel,

lībianr.

Fàndiàn lǐbianr you (yige) Inside the hotel there is a_variety xiǎomàibù.                      shop.

Unless otherwise specified, a noun before the verb is never indefinite:

Canting zài nǎr?        Where is the dining room? (_DĪ;FINIm_Eì

Canting zài zhèr.       The dining room is here.

An indefinite noun is normally placed after the verb:

NSr yíu cāntǐ^?        Jftere 1. there » dining rogst

Zher you canting. There is a dining room nere.

Mài tfingde, "a place to buy candy,” or, more literally, "one that sells candy”C The noun modified by this phrase has been left off the end of the phrase. This expression is understood to refer to either the person who does something or the place where something is done. Mai t_fing.de could be translated in exchange 11 as "candy seller” or "candy counter”” In some other context it might refer to a "candy store” or a "candy department." (Notice that the English asks where you can BUY something, but the Chinese equivalent asks where something is SOLD.)

Xiǎomàibù, "variety shop,” is a small shop inside a building. In a museum the shop would sell cigarettes, sweet buns, and soda. In a hotel it would sell a wide variety of goods, including souvenirs, soap, thermoses, socks, fruit, bread, and wine.

Yīhou, "after,” is used in the same position in a sentence as yīqian, "before.”

AMOUNT UNSPECIFIED: Wǒ mSi fānwǎn le, I bought rice bowls, AMOUNT SPECIFIED: Wǒ mails Bhīge fanwan, I bought ten rice bowls.

In the example for yīhSu, le is used in another setting, the dependent clause of a sentence. In this case, the marker le is placed directly after the verb, whether or not the amount of the object is stated.

ZuǑbianr, yǒubianr: In English, we generally assign left and right from the point of view of the observer: "As you look at the two buildings, the movie theater will be on the (your) left, and the market will be on the (your) right,” It is common for Chinese to assign left and right from the point of view of the object itself. For instance, the theater shown below might be described in Chinese as being on the right side of the market.

THEATER—fa

ir ora the point of view of the market, with the entrance as its ’’front side," the theater is indeed located on the market's right.

The same difference shows up in describing the relative locations of people or places in a photograph. In English, most people would say that Comrade LĪ is to the left of Comrade He. in the picture below. In Chinese, many people would say Lī Tǒngzhì zai Ma Tongzhtde yǒubianr.

REFERENCE NOTES

1. B: Nī chūqu a!

A: Wo xiang chūqu mǎi jiběn 3hū.

Oh, you're going out!

I thought I would go out to buy a few books.

also that the person exits towards or corresponds to the English "going out

Tā zǎoshang jiù chūqu le.

Tā zài neige shāngdiànli māi cài yijīng sānshifēn zhóng le! Hāi māi chǔlai!

When the verbs lāi and qù are used as unstressed and toneless.

away from the speaker. Chūqu ¹¹ and chūlai to "coming out. ”

Re went out this morning.

He has been in that shop buying groceries for thirty minutes already, and he hasn’t come out yet!

directional endings, they are

Nì chūqu a! Sometimes this expression might be used as a greeting. Instead of saying "hello” when greeting a friend or acquaintance* the Chinese state the obvious. For example, if you (Ān Dàwèi) drop in unexpectedly on a Chinese friend, probably the first thing he will say fa 0! Ān Dawèi! NĪ lai le! Qīng jin, "Oh! Ān Dàwèi.' You have come! Please coEie in." Or if you run an errand and then return, you will probably be greeted with Huilai le, "You're back." A friend of youra who runs into you downtown may say NĪ yě dao zhèr. l&i le, "You have come here too." In Chinese these remarks are a common form of greeting.

Jiběn: The bound word Ji- means ^1ía few.¹¹ It is unstressed and often toneless. When stressed, Ji- is the question word "how many."

Tā maile jiběn (OR Jiběn) He bought a few books, shū.

Tā māile jiběn shū?            How many books did he buy?

Intonation and context will often help you decide which Ji- is being used.

Unlike other prepositional verbs, lí cannot be made negative. You cannot say that one point is "not apart" from another. You say that two points are "not close to each other” or "not far from each other."

Xīnhuā Ēhǔdian lí shèr bu Jin.

Xīnhuā Shūdiùn lí zhSr bù yuan,.

CSng and lí are both translated as "from.” CStig is used with the point of origin, and lí is used with the distance between two points.

It. A: Zěnme qù? ZtSuzhe qù key! ma? How do I go? Is it possible to get there by walking?

Ci Zǒuzhe qù kéyī.                 It’s possible to get there by

walking.                       _r

Notes on No, h

Zěnme qù? looks very much like zěnme_ īǒu_t which asks about what route you should take. Zěnme qù? asks about your means of transportation,

Z<5uzhe_t "walking”: When the marker -she is added to an action verb, the verb form corresponds to the English -Ing. The -zhe puts the focus on action continuing for some time. Because of this,, -she is called a marker of DURATION.

Tā xuězhe xuězhe Jiù bù        He was studying and studying it, and

xi&ng xuéle.                    then he didn't want to study it

anymore.

In the sentence ZBuzhe qù kēyi, the marker -zhe is attached to one verb (sou) to modify another verb (qù). This indicates that the action of the verb to which -zhe is added occurs simultaneously with the action of the verb modified. The action of ’'walking” modifies the action of "going there." The phrase can be understood as "walkingly go.” *

Here are some other examples:

Tā raeitiān chīzhe fan kàn Every day he watches television while diànshì.                        eating.

NÍ shengzhe bìng hāi zuo You work even while you're sick! shì!

Notes on Ho. 5

Chao: The prepositional verb chāo_? literally meaning "facing towards,” is used in Běijīng.

Guǎi, "to turn”: The verb guǎi usually refers to a 90-degree turn, but you can see below that it is used in exchange 5 to refer to a 180-degree turn. In English we would break up the directions into three steps, aaying "You go out the entrance, turn left, and turn left again at the corner.” In Chinese, if the building you are leaving is on a corner, going along one side and then turning the corner may be thought of as a single step.

BĚIJĪNG HOTEL

*Because the two actions amount to one action for all practical purposes, this may be one of the more difficult examples for the marker -zhe.

Learn this sentence as a whole for now.

if ■            Jiù shi literally means "(that) is precisely" or "right there is."

Here you see Jiù uses to mean "right," "Just," "precisely": "You go out

; I        the entrance, turn to the north, and that’s Wángfǔjīng Boulevard right

there,"

6. A: Wǒ cǒng dàmén chǔqu, ch£o I go out (from) the entrance and běi guǎi, duì bu dui?          turn to the north. Is that

correct?

C: Duì le.                          That’s correct.

Motes on Ko, 7

Duo yuan: The question "how far" is formed like the questions duǒ dà_t "how old," and duō Jiù, "how long,"

Zǒu bù yu£n: Notice that there are two verbs in this phrase. The first verb indicates the action, and the second verb indicates the extent of the action. (The Transportation Module includes notes about how to modify verbs.)

LÙdōng, "the east side of the street": This word is a short form. The directions -nun, -xl, and -bei may also be used in similar short forms. The long form of~ludōng is lù dōngbianr.

Notice that "on the east side of the street" comes at the end of a phrase in English, while in Chinese lùdōngde begins the phrase.

Yes.

Notes on Additional Required Vocabulary

Zhuǎn, ”to turn,¹¹ "to make a turn": The verb guai, "to turn," is usually preceded by directions such as north/south or left/right, ZhuAn is more frequently used to talk about turning to the rear.

xiàng hou zhuǎn                  turn around (literally, "towards

the back turn")

Zhuǎn is also the verb to use for "turn" when speaking of going from one street to another.

Cong Dali Jiě zhuǎndao          From Dali street turn onto Hépfng

Hépíng Dōnglìi.                    East Road.

(Guǎi cannot be used this way.)

Chūlai, "to come out," is made up of the verb chū, "to exit," plus the verb lai used as a directional ending. This ending tells you that the action is towards the speaker.

Bǎihuo gōngsi, "department store" (literally, "hundred-goods company"): This term is used for large department stores. Smaller stores that sell a variety of merchandise are called bǎihuòdian or baihuò shangdiàn.

BǎihuS Dàlóu, literally, "Hundred-Goods Building": There is only one store in Beijīng with this name; therefore the phrase is used as a proper name. The general term for a large Western-style department store is bāíhuo gongsī.

Shàngbianr can mean "the top side/surface," "the top part/area," or "a place which is above/up." When used after another noun, shangbianr may be translated as "on," "on top of," "above," or "over."

Notes on No. 1

Canting is the word for the dining room of a hotel, A dining room in a house is a fantīng, and an independent restaurant is a fànguǎnzi (fànguànr).

Jīl&u is the question "what floor," more literally, "what-number floor."

Notice that the verb ’’go²¹ is used in the English translation of this sentence, although the Chinese says ’’reach."

Wàng nǎbian _zou; To ask the question "Go which way?" in Chinese, you say literally ^riTowardB where go7" Wàng nǎbian {náli, nar) zǒuī To say "Come this way" and "Go that way," you use the same pattern: Wàng zhèbian (zhèli, zher) lǎi and Wàng nabian (nàli, nàr) qù.

Motes on Nos, 3-4

Lǐfǎde dìfang means, literally, "a place where they cut hair." Note that 11fa is also pronounced lìfà. ²

Xià lǒu literally means "descend from an upper story." The English phrase "go/come downstairs" looks at the same action from another point of view: descend to a lower story.

The verb kànjian, "to see," is called a COMPOUND VERB OF RESULT, You have already learned about compound verbs made up of a verb indicating motion (such as chū, "to exit") followed by a verb indicating direction (lai or gù); chuqu, chūlai. Now you see, in exchanges 3 and li, a compound verb made up of an action verb (kàn, "to look") and a verb expressing the result of that action (Jiàn, "to perceive"). Kànjí an can be understood as "to look with the result of perceiving," that is, "to see." Contrast kàn with kànjian:

Wo kànle kěshl mei kànjian. I looked but I didn't see.

Notes on Nos. 5-6

Jǐlou mai dìfíí? looks as if it should mean "What floor sells maps?” Actually, Jilou is''a place-word topic, which is translated into English with a prepositional phrase: "on what floor" Then a subject is added: "’On what floor do they sell maps?" Or the verb is put into passive tense: "On what floor are maps sold?"

Shàng 16u means, literally, "ascend to an upper story," that is, "go/ come upstairs."

7. A: Xǐshǒujiān zài Ehénme          Where is the washroom?

dìfang?

E: Zài nàli. Wàng lǐ zǒu, zài It's over there. Go all the way in, yàubian.                        and it*e on the right.

Notes on No. 7

Literally, xlshSujíān means a "wash-hands room," which sometimes contains only a sink. In a house, the xǐzaojiān, meaning literally "take-a-bath room," may contain only a bathtub. The politest way to ask about a bathroom is to use xlshǒujiān. However, this Westernized way of asking may not be understood everywhere in China, To be sure you are directed to a room with a toilet, use the more specific word cesuo, "toilet,¹* "rest room¹’: Qìnigwèn, cèsuǒ zài nàli? "May I ask, where is the toilet?”

Wàng 11 means, literally, "towards the inside." In English, you say "go to the back," whatever the shape of the room. In Chinese, you say wàng lī zǒu for a narrow one-corridor room and wàng hdu zǒu for a wide room.

Notes on Additional Required Vocabulary

Puimīàn is a place word. It is a noun. Like other nouns, duìmíùn car. be modified by a de phrase. For example:

Diānyīn^ru&n zài gongyuánde The theater 10 across from the park, duìiniàn,                         (literally, ’’The theater is at the

park's facing side,¹’}

ZSulāng: Originally, this word referred to on open, roofed corridor along the side of a building. It now refers also to hallways inside a building,

Guole zhege zíuláng Jiù shi When you have passed through this canting.                        corridor, that’s the dining roctn.

The verb jin, "to enter," functions in a sentence much like the verb chū, ”to exit.

Jìnle zhàge dàmāo, wàng you When you have entered the main door, zou, Jiù shi canting.          go to the right, and that's the

dining room.

Like the verb chū, Jin must be followed either by a word naming the place entered or by a directional ending such as qu or lai.

Nī Jìnqu, wàng auǒ tSu, Jiù Go in and go to the left. That’s shi mai baode.                  where they sell newspapers.

(An exception is the phrase Qīng Jìn, "Please come in," which does not need the ending -lai■)

The syllable -tou, "end," may be added to a direction word such as hÒu "back," to change it into a place word, hòutou, "back." One-syllable direction words like 11 and hòu may be used after wàng, "towards." In most other situations, you must use a place word made up of the direction word and an ending such as -bian(r), -tou, or -mian(r).

not combine with as many direction words as For instance, -tou does not combine with ’’left

and "right." (See the chart below.) Forma ending in -tou are especially common in Beijing.

The syllable -mian(r), "surface," may also be added to a direction word to make a place word. Notice that while this syllable combines with more forms than -tou does, -m ian(r) is not as common as -bian(r).
