0	3000	Meeting Module Unit 7, Production Tape 1
3500	7000	On the comprehension tape in this unit, you learn to understand questions and answers
7000	9000	used in setting up an informal meeting.
9000	12000	If you think that you might have forgotten the meanings of these sentences,
12000	15000	go back to the end of the C1 tape and review them.
15000	19000	If you think that you understand the meanings of all the sentences on the target list,
19000	21000	you should begin learning how to say them.
21000	24000	The situations on this tape are set in Taiwan.
24000	28000	Miss White, an American diplomatic official newly posted to their ROC,
28000	32000	is calling up Mr. Zhang,the president of an import-export company
32000	34000	to whom she was recently introduced.
34000	37000	Listen as Mr. Zhang answers the phone.
38000	39000	Why?
39000	40000	张先生吗?
40000	44000	是的,您是不是白女士?
44000	49000	是,张先生,我有点事想跟您打听打听.
51000	53000	Repeat the verb to inquire.
53000	58000	打听,打听.
59000	62000	Repeat, inquire from you.
63000	65000	跟您打听打听.
68000	70000	跟您打听打听.
72000	76000	Compare this phrase to another you recently learned,像您请教.
76000	80000	The phrase here,跟您打听, is less formal,
80000	83000	and asks for information rather than advice.
83000	85000	Notice also that in this phrase,
85000	89000	the prepositional verb gun is used and translated as from.
89000	93000	Repeat, I have something I'd like to ask you about.
94000	98000	我有点事想跟您打听打听.
104000	107000	我有点事想跟您打听打听.
107000	111000	Try saying it ahead of the speaker.
111000	113000	I have something I'd like to ask you about.
122000	125000	我有点事想跟您打听打听.
129000	131000	Now you take part in the phone conversation.
131000	133000	Ask if you are speaking to Mr. Zhang
133000	137000	and say that you have something that you'd like to ask him about.
137000	139000	Why?
140000	142000	张先生吗?
142000	146000	是的,您是不是白女士?
153000	157000	是,张先生,我有点事想跟您打听打听.
159000	160000	Again.
160000	162000	Why?
164000	165000	张先生吗?
165000	169000	是的,您是不是白女士?
175000	179000	是,张先生,我有点事想跟您打听打听.
184000	186000	什么事?
186000	192000	听说您那边新来了一位方先生,是刚派来的。
192000	195000	他的名字我忘记了。
200000	204000	听说,听说。
204000	210000	Now repeat, a Mr. Fang came recently.
210000	213000	新来了一位方先生。
216000	219000	新来了一位方先生。
222000	225000	Notice that the adjectival verb 新 to be new
225000	228000	is used here as an adverb translated as recently.
228000	234000	How do you say a Mr. Fang came recently?
234000	237000	新来了一位方先生。
240000	244000	Notice that you've put the subject Mr. Fang at the end of the sentence.
244000	247000	When you do this, the subject becomes indefinite.
247000	250000	A Mr. Fang instead of the Mr. Fang.
250000	252000	Here's another example.
252000	255000	Repeat, where is there a restaurant?
255000	260000	哪里有饭馆子?
260000	265000	哪里有饭馆子?
265000	269000	Now if you've been talking about a new restaurant which sounds like a good place to go,
269000	272000	you might ask, where is the restaurant?
272000	275000	This is how you say it, repeat it.
275000	280000	饭馆子在哪里?
280000	286000	饭馆子在哪里?
286000	290000	Chinese can use different word orders to communicate the idea of indefinite or definite
290000	293000	while English uses the words A or D.
293000	301000	How would you say, where is there a place which sells books?
301000	304000	哪里有买书的?
304000	309000	How would you say, where is the place which sells books?
309000	317000	买书的在哪里?
317000	319000	Let's return to the conversation now.
319000	322000	Repeat, you've recently had Mr. Fang join you,
322000	328000	or more literally, at your place there's recently come Mr. Fang.
328000	338000	你那边新来了一位 Mr. Fang.
338000	344000	你那边新来了一位 Mr. Fang.
344000	347000	Notice that you say,你那边.
347000	349000	This is because you're talking about where he works,
349000	353000	his office, so you say, your place.
353000	356000	Now repeat, you've recently had Mr. Fang join you,
356000	360000	who's just been assigned to your office.
360000	363000	你那边新来了一位 Mr. Fang.
363000	367000	是刚派来的.
367000	374000	你那边新来了一位 Mr. Fang.
374000	378000	是刚派来的.
378000	381000	You'll remember that the verb pi means to assign or send.
381000	384000	Here it's used with the directional ending li.
384000	387000	Repeat, I've heard that you've recently had Mr. Fang join you,
387000	391000	who's just been assigned to your office.
391000	398000	听说你那边新来了一位 Mr. Fang.
398000	405000	是刚派来的.
405000	410000	听说你那边新来了一位 Mr. Fang.
410000	413000	是刚派来的.
413000	415000	Try saying it ahead of the speaker.
415000	417000	I've heard that you've recently had Mr. Fang join you,
417000	420000	who's just been assigned to your office.
420000	427000	听说你那边新来了一位 Mr. Fang.
427000	432000	是刚派来的.
432000	436000	Now repeat the word for a given name.
436000	441000	名字.
441000	444000	名字.
444000	447000	And repeat the verb to forget.
447000	451000	忘记.
451000	455000	Repeat, I've forgotten his given name.
455000	461000	他的名字,我忘记了.
461000	465000	他的名字,我忘记了.
465000	468000	Notice that the object, his given name,
468000	470000	is put up front in the topic position.
470000	473000	This is because you're contrasting forgetting his given name
473000	475000	with all the other things about him that you did remember,
475000	477000	such as his surname.
477000	484000	How do you say I've forgotten his given name?
484000	488000	他的名字,我忘记了.
488000	491000	How do you say I've heard that you've recently had
491000	492000	Mr. Fang join you,

509000	515000	And how do you say I've forgotten his given name?
