0	2600	Standard Chinese, a modular approach.
2600	4960	Orientation module, Unit 1.
4960	7200	Comprehension Tape 1.
7200	11560	This is the first tape of a unit on questions and answers about names.
11560	16400	The unit should be studied along with the resource module on pronunciation and romanization,
16400	22320	which uses Chinese personal names for most of its examples of Chinese sounds and spellings.
22320	24320	This is a comprehension tape.
24320	28400	You are not required to say anything as you work on it, only to listen.
28400	30800	There is no reading or writing involved.
30800	35200	Your objective is to be able to understand all the Chinese sentences on the tape.
35200	40840	These are summarized at the end of the tape for review and self-testing.
40840	46040	In the following conversational exchange, an American in Taiwan by the name of Daniel King
46040	51440	is asked who he is and responds with his adopted Chinese name,Wang Danyin.
51440	54240	Wang is a translation of King.
54240	58040	Danyin is a phonetic approximation of Daniel.
58040	63000	For each line of exchange, you will hear the English once and then the Chinese twice.
63000	64880	Listen.
64880	66680	Who are you?
66680	69240	你是谁?
69240	72160	你是谁?
72160	74320	I'm Wang Danyin.
74320	77120	我是王大年.
77120	80200	我是王大年.
80200	85240	The word that makes the first line a question, of course, is the word that means who.
85240	89400	谁?
89400	92080	谁?
92080	96120	Listen to the exchange again and try to spot the word for who.
96120	98400	谁?
98400	99920	Who are you?
99920	102040	你是谁?
102040	104280	你是谁?
104280	106560	I'm Wang Danyin.
106560	108720	我是王大年.
108720	112120	我是王大年.
112120	114920	In the English sentence, who are you?
114920	117680	The question word who comes first.
117680	121480	Notice in the Chinese sentence,谁 comes last.
121480	124080	Listen again.
124080	125760	Who are you?
125760	127680	你是谁?
127680	129840	你是谁?
129840	132160	I'm Wang Danyin.
132160	134400	我是王大年.
134400	137240	我是王大年.
137240	143760	If we translate the Chinese question word for word, it's more like you are who.
143760	146040	Here's the word for you.
146040	147840	你.
147840	149920	你.
149920	152400	你.
152400	153880	Listen for you.
153880	156840	In Chinese,你.
156840	158720	Who are you?
158720	161120	你是谁?
161120	163480	你是谁?
163480	165680	I'm Wang Danyin.
165680	167960	我是王大年.
167960	170800	我是王大年.
170800	173240	Here's the word for I.
173240	175400	我.
175400	177760	我.
177760	180360	我.
180360	181880	Listen for I.
181880	182720	我.
182720	184440	In the answer.
184440	186160	Who are you?
186160	189720	你是谁?
189720	191800	你是谁?
191800	194120	I'm Wang Danyin.
194120	196640	我是王大年.
196640	200680	我是王大年.
200680	203160	We have now looked at each word in this exchange.
203160	210200	Except for the R in Who are you and the M in I'm Wang Danyin.
210200	213440	Chinese does not distinguish between M and R.
213440	216600	Listen to M or R.
216600	223360	是.是.是.
223360	228840	Listen for M and R, both 是 in the exchange.
228840	230400	Who are you?
230400	232480	你是谁?
232480	234960	你是谁?
234960	237400	I'm Wang Danyin.
237400	239920	我是王大年.
239920	243560	我是王大年.
243560	249440	You may have noticed that 是 is weakening these sentences to a toneless SH sound.
249440	251200	Listen.
251200	252920	你是谁?
252920	255640	我是王大年.
255640	262440	This weakening of 是 is rather like the weakening of M and R in the English contractions I'm and you're.
262440	269440	Later you'll find that SH is not weakened when it is emphasized or in slow deliberate speech.
269440	275440	Of course this is just when you'd say I am or you are in English.
275440	281440	You just heard the exchange we've been working on live without the English and without repetition.
281440	284440	Now listen to a new exchange live.
284440	286440	你是谁?
286440	288440	我是胡玫琳.
288440	290440	What's going on?
290440	292440	Listen again.
292440	294440	你是谁?
294440	297440	我是胡玫琳.
297440	300440	This time Mr. King is finding out the woman's name.
300440	302440	Here's how it goes.
302440	304440	Who are you?
304440	306440	你是谁?
306440	308440	你是谁?
308440	311440	I'm Hu Meiling.
311440	313440	我是胡玫琳.
313440	317440	我是胡玫琳.
317440	323440	Now listen to both of the exchanges we've had between Mr. King and Ms. Hu live.
323440	325440	你是谁?
325440	328440	我是王大年.你是谁?
328440	330440	我是胡玫琳.
330440	332440	Again.
332440	334440	你是谁?
334440	337440	我是王大年.你是谁?
337440	339440	我是胡玫琳.
339440	346440	Up to this point Mr. King and Ms. Hu have been discussing each other and themselves using 你
346440	349440	and 我 or I.
349440	354440	Now listen to them discuss a third person, Mr. Ma Ming Li.
354440	356440	Who is he?
356440	358440	他是谁?
358440	361440	他是谁?
361440	363440	He's Ma Ming Li.
363440	365440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
365440	368440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
368440	370440	Did you pick out the word for he?
370440	372440	Here it is.
372440	374440	他.
374440	376440	他.
376440	379440	他.
379440	383440	Listen for他, meaning he in the exchange.
383440	385440	Who is he?
385440	387440	他是谁?
387440	389440	他是谁?
389440	391440	He's Ma Ming Li.
391440	394440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
394440	397440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
397440	401440	We said that sure could be translated either as am or are.
401440	405440	Here after he, it translates as is.
405440	409440	Chinese has the same form of the verb for the first, second and third person.
409440	412440	I am, you are and he is.
412440	417440	I simply,我是,你是 and他是.
417440	421440	Listen for this as Ms. Hu runs through our cast of characters for Mr. King.
421440	425440	I notice that sure is in its weakened, timeless form.
425440	428440	I'm Hu Meiling.
428440	430440	我是胡玫琳.
430440	432440	我是胡玫琳.
432440	435440	You're Wang Danian.
435440	437440	你是王大年.
437440	440440	你是王大年.
440440	442440	He's Ma Ming Li.
442440	444440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
444440	447440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
447440	451440	Since sure translates as am, are or if.
451440	455440	It will be simpler just to identify it as the verb to be from here on.
455440	459440	Later we'll find even more reasons for this simplification.
459440	465440	But sure also translates as was, as were, and even as will be.
465440	467440	This is typical of Chinese verbs.
467440	469440	A single form does all the work.
469440	473440	When you study a European language, you have to learn a variety of forms and ending.
473440	476440	When you study Chinese, you don't.
476440	479440	You have to learn only one form for each verb.
479440	484440	Listen to Ms. Hu run through the cast again, lot.
484440	486440	我是胡玫琳.
486440	488440	你是王大年.
488440	491440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
491440	494440	Now listen to Mr. King do the same.
494440	496440	我是王大年.
496440	498440	你是胡玫琳.
498440	501440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
501440	504440	So far we've had i, you, and he.
504440	506440	But we haven't had she.
506440	511440	Listen carefully as Mr. King identifies Mr. Ma and Ms. Hu for us.
511440	513440	He's Ma Ming Li.
513440	516440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
516440	519440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
519440	521440	She's Hu Mei Ling.
521440	524440	他是胡玫琳.
524440	527440	他是胡玫琳.
527440	530440	Notice that both he and she are Ta.
530440	534440	This is another distinction Chinese gets along without.
534440	536440	Listen again, lot.
536440	539440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
539440	541440	他是胡玫琳.
541440	543440	Again.
543440	545440	他是 Ma Ming Li.
545440	548440	他是胡玫琳.
576440	580440	Listen to Ms. Hu as Mr. King for his surname.
580440	582440	What's your surname?
582440	585440	你姓啥?
585440	587440	你姓啥?
587440	590440	My surname's King.
590440	592440	我姓王.
592440	594440	我姓王.
594440	597440	There are two new words in this exchange.
597440	600440	Let's take them up one at a time.
600440	602440	Here's the word for what?
602440	607440	什么?
607440	609440	Listen for what?
609440	611440	什么?
611440	613440	What's your surname?
613440	618440	你姓啥?
618440	620440	My surname's King.
620440	622440	我姓王.
622440	625440	我姓王.
625440	626440	Notice that what?
626440	627440	什么?
627440	630440	comes at the end of the question as does Hu.
630440	634440	Let's compare questions with who and what.
634440	636440	Who are you?
636440	640440	你是谁?
640440	642440	What's your surname?
642440	647440	你姓啥?
647440	649440	The other new word 姓.
649440	652440	They be translated to be surname.
652440	654440	Listen.
654440	659440	姓.
659440	662440	Listen for 姓 to be surname.
662440	665440	What's your surname?
665440	669440	你姓啥?
669440	671440	My surname's King.
671440	673440	我姓王.
673440	676440	我姓王.
676440	681440	Since both are verbs,姓 works in the sentence just like sure.
681440	685440	Despite the fact that we translate them with quite different English constructions.
685440	690440	For example, my surname is versus I am.
690440	692440	If we translate word for word,
692440	698440	we can see how the Chinese is actually put together with 姓 functioning like sure.
698440	701440	You are surnamed what?
701440	706440	你姓啥?
706440	710440	I am surnamed 王.
710440	712440	我姓王.
712440	714440	我姓王.
714440	716440	Here's another example.
716440	719440	He is surnamed what?
719440	724440	他姓啥?
724440	727440	He is surnamed 马.
727440	732440	他姓马.
732440	734440	Compare the answers.
734440	735440	I am 王大年.
735440	738440	And my surname's 王.
738440	740440	I am 王大年.
740440	743440	我是 王大年.
743440	746440	我是 王大年.
746440	748440	I am surnamed 王.
748440	750440	我姓王.
750440	753440	我姓王.
753440	759440	Now let's see if you can tell the difference between questions like 你是谁,which call for the full name,
759440	763440	and questions like 你姓什么,which call for the surname alone.
763440	765440	In the pause after the following questions,
765440	770440	decide whether it's the full name or the surname alone which is being asked for.
770440	774440	Then listen to the answer to see if you are right.
774440	778440	你是谁?
778440	780440	我是 王大年.
780440	783440	你姓什么?
783440	786440	我姓 王.
786440	790440	他是谁?
790440	793440	他是 马 名 李.
793440	796440	他姓 什么?
796440	799440	他姓 马.
799440	803440	你是谁?
803440	805440	我是 胡 美 林.
805440	809440	你姓 什么?
809440	811440	我姓 胡.
811440	815440	他姓 什么?
815440	817440	他姓 马.
817440	821440	他是 谁?
821440	824440	他是 马 名 李.
824440	826440	Now let's take a look at the traditional titles,
826440	830440	Mr. Misses and Miss,which are still used in the Republic of China,
830440	832440	and also the title Comrade,
832440	834440	which has replaced them in the People's Republic.
834440	836440	Here's the word for Mr.
836440	843440	先生.
843440	845440	Listen for Mr.
845440	848440	先生 in this exchange.
848440	850440	Who is he?
850440	854440	他是谁?
854440	856440	He is Mr.
856440	857440	马.
857440	861440	他是 马 先生.
861440	864440	Notice that the title follows the name.
864440	865440	Listen again.
865440	867440	Who is he?
867440	871440	他是谁?
871440	873440	He is Mr.
873440	878440	马 先生.
878440	881440	In this example,the title followed the surname alone.
881440	883440	It may also follow the full name.
883440	884440	Listen.
884440	886440	Who is he?
886440	890440	他是谁?
890440	891440	He is Mr.
891440	893440	马 名 李.
893440	899440	他是 马 名 李 先生.
899440	901440	When you address someone in Chinese,
901440	903440	you usually use the surname and title.
903440	904440	Listen to Miss.
904440	905440	Who address Mr.
905440	907440	King as she asks her question.
907440	908440	Mr.
908440	909440	王.
909440	912440	Who is he?
912440	913440	王 先生.
913440	915440	他是谁?
915440	916440	王 先生.
916440	918440	他是谁?
918440	919440	He is Mr.
919440	920440	马 名 李.
920440	923440	他是 马 名 李 先生.
923440	926440	他是 马 名 李 先生.
926440	930440	The title 先生 is also used by itself to mean sir.
930440	931440	Listen.
931440	932440	Sir.
932440	933440	Who is he?
933440	934440	先生.
934440	936440	他是谁?
936440	937440	先生.
937440	938440	他是谁?
938440	939440	He is Mr.
939440	940440	马.
940440	942440	他是 马 先生.
942440	946440	他是 马 先生.
946440	947440	As in English,
947440	948440	the title Mrs.
948440	950440	is used by husband's surname or full name.
950440	952440	Here's the word for Mrs.
952440	954440	太太.
954440	956440	太太.
956440	958440	太太.
958440	960440	Listen for Mrs.
960440	962440	太太.
962440	963440	Sir.
963440	965440	Who is she?
965440	966440	先生.
966440	968440	他是谁?
968440	969440	先生.
969440	970440	他是谁?
970440	971440	She is Mrs.
971440	972440	马.
972440	974440	他是 马 太太.
974440	977440	他是 马 太太.
977440	980440	Listen for太太 again.
980440	981440	Mr.
981440	982440	王.
982440	983440	Who is she?
983440	984440	王 先生.
984440	986440	他是谁?
986440	987440	王 先生.
987440	989440	他是谁?
989440	990440	She is Mrs.
990440	992440	马 名 李.
