Standard Chinese, A Modular Approach, Directions Module, Unit 5, Comprehension Tape 1, This unit is set in the ROC. On this tape, you'll learn to understand questions and answers used in locating a street address when you're lost. For this tape, you'll need to consult the map sheet opposite the reference list in your workbook.

2
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:37,500
Clara Matthews is having some trouble finding a friend's house. Listen as she stops someone on the street to ask for help. Excuse me.

3
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:43,500
對不起,對不起. What can I do for you?

4
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:49,500
你有什麼事啊?你有什麼事啊?

5
00:00:49,500 --> 00:01:11,500
But now, sure, has a very broad meaning and is difficult to translate into smooth English. Some of its more common translations are matter, business, affair, and thing. In the context of someone asking for help, the reply, 你有什麼事啊? could be translated somewhat literally as, what's your problem?

6
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:32,500
Our non-literal translation reflects the mood of the Chinese sentence rather than its words. What can I do for you? Here's the word translated matter, business, affair, or thing.是,是. Listen to the exchange live.對不起,你有什麼事啊?

7
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:37,500
Again,對不起,你有什麼事啊?

8
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:50,500
Check your comprehension.對不起, Excuse me.你有什麼事啊?

9
00:01:50,500 --> 00:02:06,500
What can I do for you? The conversation continues. May I ask, what road is this?請問,這條路是什麼路?

10
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:15,500
This is Nanjing West Road.這是南京西路.這是南京西路.

11
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:30,500
Here's how you say, this road,這條路,這條路. And here's how you say, Nanjing West Road,南京西路,南京西路.

12
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:41,500
Notice that the word for West is not in its usual English position in this street name. Direction words in Taipei street names always come at the end of the name with the word 路 attached.

13
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:50,500
Peaking street names follow the usual English pattern. For instance,東長安街, East長安 street.

14
00:02:50,500 --> 00:03:10,500
It's also that in the answer,這是南京西路. The word for this is given with its non-peaking pronunciation 者, instead of 者. From now on, the forms 者, this,那, that, and 那, which will be used for all non-peaking speakers.

15
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:18,500
You'll be expected to use these forms yourself only when a speaker uses them to you. Here's the exchange live.

16
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:34,500
請問這條路是什麼路?這是南京西路. Again,請問這條路是什麼路?這是南京西路. Check your comprehension.

17
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:47,500
請問這條路是什麼路? May I ask, what road is this?這是南京西路.

18
00:03:47,500 --> 00:04:06,500

21
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:49,500

22
00:04:49,500 --> 00:05:02,500
Listen to the exchange live.你找什麼地方?我找南京東路一段,五十四項. Again.你找什麼地方?

26
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:53,500
中山北路.中山北路.中山 North Road is a major tourist shopping street in Taipei. Now listen to another person who's lost his way, live.

27
00:05:53,500 --> 00:06:16,500
