1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,600
Standard Chinese, a modular approach.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:07,000
Orientation Module Unit 4, Comprehension Tape 1.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,000
This unit is set in the People's Republic of China, or PRC.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,400
On this tape, you'll learn to understand a variety of polite questions and answers

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,800
about the location of places and people

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,600
and about where you and other people are from.

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,600
The Andersons are at a reception,

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,000
welcoming newly-arrived diplomatic personnel to the PRC.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,200
Mr.Anderson has just been introduced to Comrade Liu,

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,000
who politely asks him where he's from.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Listen to the exchange.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,200
May I ask, where are you from?

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,200
请问你是哪个人?

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,600
请问你是哪个人?

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,200
I'm from Texas.

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,200
我是德州人.

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,200
Here's the expression meaning, may I ask.

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,600
请问.请问.请问.

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,400
The expression,请问, may I ask,

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,200
is used to open a conversation asking for information.

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,400
The phrase may I ask sounds rather formal in English.

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,800
We'd be more likely to use the phrase, excuse me.

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,000
But remember that 请问 is used to bring up a question.

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
It's not the word to use for saying excuse me after stepping on someone's foot.

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,600
Here's the Chinese phonetic equivalent for Texas.

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:39,800
德可撒斯

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,800
The abbreviated version goes like this.

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,600
德州

29
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,600
Now listen to the original exchange live.

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,000
Listen for 请问, may I ask, and 德州, Texas.

31
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
请问你是哪个人?

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400
我是德州人.

33
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,000
Again,请问你是哪个人?

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,400
我是德州人.

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,800
Check your comprehension.

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,800
请问你是哪个人?

37
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,000
May I ask, where are you from?

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,300
我是德州人.

39
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,300
I'm from Texas.

40
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:28,600
Listen as the conversation continues.

41
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,000
May I ask, where is Mrs. Anderson from?

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,600
请问安德森夫人是哪个人?

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,800
请问安德森夫人是哪个人?

44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,600
She's from Texas too.

45
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,600
她也是德州人.

46
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,600
她也是德州人.

47
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Listen to the Chinese phonetic equivalent for Anderson.

48
00:02:53,600 --> 00:03:00,400
安德森

49
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,800
In the PRC, foreign names have standard phonetic equivalents.

50
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,000
The equivalent for Mr. David Anderson is 带位安德森先生.

51
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,800
Here's the word used for Mrs. in the exchange.

52
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:20,800
Listen 夫人

53
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,800
Notice the tone sequence, high tone, neutral tone.

54
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,000
The word 夫人 is sometimes translated as Madam,

55
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,400
as in Madam Sonia Tseng.

56
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,400
It's the normal term of address for a married foreign woman in the PRC.

57
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,000
The word for two in the exchange is 也.

58
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Listen 也.

59
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Yeah.

60
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Notice that the word 也 comes right before the verb,

61
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,400
just as also would if we translated the sentence.

62
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,800
She also is from Texas.

63
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600
Here's the exchange live.

64
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,800
请问安德森夫人是哪个人?

65
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,600
她也是德州人.

66
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,600
Again,请问安德森夫人是哪个人?

67
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,400
她也是德州人.

68
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Check your comprehension.

69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:19,200
请问安德森夫人是哪个人?

70
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,200
May I ask, where is Mrs. Anderson from?

71
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,200
她也是德州人.

72
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,000
She's from Texas, too.

73
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,800
Conrad Liu, who is interested in England,

74
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,400
has heard that one of the foreigners at the reception is English.

75
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Indicating a man across the room,

76
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,200
she raises a new topic for discussion.

77
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,400
Listen to the exchange.

78
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,600
Is he English?

79
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,200
他是英国人吗?

80
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,800
No, he's not English.

81
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:04,400
不是,他不是英国人。

82
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,400
And his wife?

83
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,200
他爱人呢?

84
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,200
She isn't English, either.

85
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:21,200
他也不是英国人。

86
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,200
In the People's Republic, the same word,

87
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,200
Iron, is used for both husband and wife.

88
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,200
Here's the word for husband or wife,

89
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,200
that is, for spouse.

90
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:38,200
爱人。

91
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,200
Notice that the phrase, his wife,

92
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,200
is formed simply by putting the words for he and wife together.

93
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Listen,他爱人。

94
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,200
There's nothing in this phrase

95
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,200
that corresponds to the English possessive marker,

96
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,200
apostrophe s.

97
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,200
Chinese does have a possessive marker,

98
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,200
which you've seen in phrases like,

99
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:09,200
刘敏珍的Iron,刘敏珍's husband.

100
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,200
This marker is usually not used, however,

101
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,200
if the phrase is short and the relationship in question

102
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,200
is felt to be very close.

103
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,200
In the affirmative, we translate it

104
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,200
yeah as also or to.

105
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,200
In the negative, we translate it as either.

106
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,200
The word yeah itself has only one meaning,also.

107
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,200
But in English, it often sounds better

108
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,200
to use to for the affirmative

109
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,200
and either for the negative.

110
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Here's the exchange again, live.

111
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,200
Listen,他是英國人嗎?

112
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,200
不是,他不是英國人。

113
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,200
他愛人呢?

114
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,200
他也不是英國人。

115
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,200
Again,他是英國人嗎?

116
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,200
不是,他不是英國人。

117
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,200
他愛人呢?

118
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,200
他也不是英國人。

119
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Check your comprehension.

120
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,200
他是英國人嗎?

121
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,200
Is he English?

122
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:13,200
不是,他不是英國人。

123
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,200
No, he's not English.

124
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,200
他愛人呢?

125
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,200
And his wife?

126
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,200
他也不是英國人。

127
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200
He's not English either.

128
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,200
In another part of the room,

129
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,200
Mr. Martin, a Canadian representative,

130
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,200
is talking to Comrade Zhao.

131
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,200
Listen to their exchange live.

132
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,200
赵同志,你是哪儿的人?

133
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,200
我是青島人。Again.

134
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,200
赵同志,你是哪儿的人?

135
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,200
我是青島人。

136
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,200
青島,a coastal city,is one of China's

137
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,200
major seaports and resorts.

138
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,200
Suppose Mr. Martin didn't know

139
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,200
where Qingdao was.

140
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,200
Here's how he would find out.

141
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,200
May I ask, where is Qingdao?

142
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,200
请问,青岛在哪儿?

143
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,200
请问,青岛在哪儿?

144
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,200
青岛在山东。

145
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:25,200
青岛在山东。

146
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,200
It's the word for to be in the sense of to be somewhere.

147
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,200
在。在。在。

148
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,200
Listen for zai in the exchange live.

149
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,200
请问,青岛在哪儿?

150
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,200
青岛在山东。Again.

151
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,200
请问,青岛在哪儿?

152
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,200
青岛在山东。

153
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,200
Check your comprehension.

154
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,200
请问青岛在哪儿?

155
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,200
May I ask, where is Qingdao?

156
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,200
青岛在山东

157
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,200
青岛 is in Shandong

158
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,200
English uses the same verb to be

159
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,200
both for talking about identity

160
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,200
as in the question

161
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,200
who is she

162
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,200
and for talking about location

163
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,200
as in the question

164
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,200
where is she?

165
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,200
where is she?

166
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,200
Chinese uses two different verbs

167
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,200
sure for identity

168
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,200
and zai for location

169
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,200
compare these two questions

170
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,200
who is she?

171
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,200
她是谁?

172
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,200
她是谁?

173
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,200
where is she?

174
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,200
她在哪儿?

175
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,200
她在哪儿?

176
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,200
In English, we usually use prepositions

177
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,200
such as in, at, and on

178
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,200
along with the verb to be

179
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,200
in its location sense

180
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,200
for example, we say

181
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,200
he lives in New York

182
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,200
he lives on 42nd street

183
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,200
or he lives at number 37

184
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,200
in Chinese, only zai is needed

185
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,200
we can say that zai by itself

where his family is from

189
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,200

209
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,200
to its possessor

210
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,200
and forms the possessive

211
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,200
without the marker 德

212
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,200

when a Chinese asks you about your老家

00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,200
when you ask a Chinese about his老家

242
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,200
he will tell you where his family came from originally

243
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,200
a Chinese whose grandparents came from Guangdong

244
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,200
will give that as his老家

245
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,200
even if he and his parents

246
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,200

381
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,200

I'm not here

392
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,200
so far we've been talking about where places are

393
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,200
that is about fixed locations

394
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,200
and about where people are who are within sight

395
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,200
when you talk about the locations of movable things such as people

396
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,200
then are not in sight

397
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,200
you usually ask where they are now

398
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,200
here's the word for now

399
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,200
现在

400
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,200

402
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,200
let's go back to the reception

403
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,200
Mr. Martin has told Kamrat Zhao

404
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,200
that his wife is not in China yet

405
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,200
but will be coming soon

406
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,200
here's the Chinese for Canada

407
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,200

419
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,200
don't be confused by the sequence 在 在

420
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,200
the first 在 belongs to the word 现在 now

421
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,200
and the second 在 is the verb to be somewhere

422
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,200

that his wife would be coming to Peking in a week or two

435
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,200
a week later Conrad Zhao meets Mr. Martin again

436
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,200

你爱人现在在这吗?

441
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,200
他现在在这

442
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,200

443
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,200

in this exchange the word 这

448
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,200
is used to refer to Peking

449
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,200
for large places such as provinces or countries

450
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,200
Chinese usually uses the place name

451
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,200
rather than the words for here and there

452
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,200
here's an example with the place name

453
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,200

454
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,200
