1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Standard Chinese, A Modular Approach, Transportation Module Unit 4, Production Tape 1.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000
On the comprehension tape in this unit, you learn to understand a number of sentences about using the train and buying tickets.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,000
If you think that you might not remember the meaning of these sentences, go back to the end of the C1 tape and review the target list sentences.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
If you feel that you understand them all, you should begin learning how to say them.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Listen to the first exchange, an American in Taipei is talking with a friend.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
我想去台南玩几天.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Repeat the verb to player to relax.

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
玩

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
玩

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Repeat, I'm going to Tainan to relax for a few days.

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,000
我去台南玩几天.

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
我去台南玩几天.

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Here again you see the bound syllable 几, which can mean how many, used to mean a few.

14
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Repeat, I'm thinking of going to Tainan to relax for a few days.

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
我想去台南玩几天.

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
我想去台南玩几天.

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Try saying it ahead of the speaker.

18
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:31,000
I'm thinking of going to Tainan to relax for a few days.

19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
我想去台南玩几天.

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Again

21
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
我想去台南玩几天.

22
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Listen as they discuss how to get to Tainan.

23
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
做公路局的车行不行?

24
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

25
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Repeat the phrase for a bus which goes between cities.

26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000
公路局的车

27
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
公路局的车

28
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Repeat, would it be alright to take the bus?

29
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,000
做公路局的车行不行?

30
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
做公路局的车行不行?

31
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Try asking the question yourself, you'll get a reply.

32
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Would it be alright to take the bus?

33
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
做公路局的车行不行?

34
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

35
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Again

36
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
做公路局的车行不行?

37
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

38
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Now let's take a look at the answer.

39
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Repeat the adjectival verb to be convenient.

40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
方便

41
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Repeat not too convenient.

42
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:27,000
不大方便

43
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
You've already learned that 不太 can mean not too or not very.

44
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Now you see that the word 大 to be large in the phrase 不大 can also be used with this meaning.

45
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Repeat it's not too convenient to go to 台南 by bus.

46
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:54,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

47
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:03,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

48
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Notice that the phrase 到台南去 to go to 台南 comes at the front of the sentence in the topic position.

49
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
It sets the scene for the following comment.

50
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
By bus it's not too convenient.

51
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Repeat again.

52
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
It's not too convenient to go to 台南 by public bus.

53
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:31,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

54
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:39,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

55
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
The word order in the sentence you just said is quite different from the English word order.

56
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000
The topic of the sentence to go to 台南 is followed by the subject taking the bus.

57
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Next comes the phrase 不大 right before what it modifies the verb 方便.

58
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
How do you say it's not too convenient to go to 台南 by bus?

59
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:09,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

60
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Try responding to the question yourself now.

61
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
It's not too convenient to go to 台南 by bus.

62
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:26,000
做公路局的车行不行?

63
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

64
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Again.

65
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:42,000
做公路局的车行不行?

66
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:51,000
到台南去做公路局的车不大方便.

67
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Now here's another way to ask about the transportation available to 台南.

68
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
是做火车去好呢?

69
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
还是做公路局的车去好呢?

70
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
做火车去好.

71
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
First repeat the answer.

72
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
It's better to go by train.

73
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
做火车去好.

74
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000
做火车去好.

75
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
In the money module, you saw adjectival verbs used in comparisons of nouns or things as in

76
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
红的便宜.

77
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
The red one is cheaper.

78
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Here we see another adjectival verb 好 to be good used in a comparison.

79
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
But this time it's in a comparison of activities.

80
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Answer the question yourself now.

81
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
It's better to go by train.

82
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
是做火车去好呢?

83
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000
还是做公路局的车去好呢?

84
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
做火车去好.

85
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Again.

86
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
是做火车去好呢?

87
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
还是做公路局的车去好呢?

88
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000
做火车去好.

89
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Now let's take a look at the question.

90
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Repeat.

91
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Is it better to go by train or to go by bus?

92
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
是做火车去好呢?

93
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:21,000
还是做公路局的车去好呢?

94
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Is it better to go by train or to go by bus?

95
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
是做火车去好呢?

96
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:36,000
还是做公路局的车去好呢?

97
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:44,000
In this sentence, the 是 in the first part of the sentence and the 还是 in the second part of the sentence are used together to mean or.

98
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Notice that the 是 and the 还是 come right before the verb phrase in each part of the sentence.

99
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Repeat again.

100
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Is it better to go by train or to go by bus?

101
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
是做火车去好呢?

102
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:06,000
还是做公路局的车去好呢?

103
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
是做火车去好呢?

104
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:18,000
还是做公路局的车去好呢?

105
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000
The acronym is also used to offer a choice.

106
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:47,000
is it better to go by train or to go by bus?

107
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Again

108
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

109
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
做火車去好

110
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Now here's a fuller version of that question. Listen.

111
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
你說是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

112
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
到台南,做火車最方便

113
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
你說是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

114
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:40,000
你說是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

115
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:06,000
你說是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

116
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:16,000
你說我是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

117
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,000
你說我是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

118
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
到台南,做火車最方便

119
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
你說我是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

120
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:04,000
到台南,做火車最方便

121
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Repeat, most convenient

122
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
最方便

123
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
最方便

124
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Repeat, it's most convenient to take the train to Tainan

125
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
到台南,做火車最方便

126
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000
到台南,做火車最方便

127
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
In this sentence the phrase to Tainan is in the topic position.

128
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
As you can see, it's as common for a sentence to start with the topic as it is for it to start with the subject.

129
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Try answering the question yourself now. It's most convenient to take the train to Tainan.

130
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:02,000
你說我是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

131
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
到台南,做火車最方便

132
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Again

133
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000
你說我是做火車去好呢?還是做公路局的車去好呢?

134
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
到台南,做火車最方便

135
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
The American has another question. Listen

136
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
得先買票嗎?

137
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000
你最好兩三天以前去買票

138
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Repeat the word for ticket

139
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
票

140
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Repeat the question. Is it necessary to buy tickets ahead of time?

141
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
得先買票嗎?

142
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
得先買票嗎?

143
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
The word order in this sentence is important.

144
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,000
As you know, both adverbs such as 先 and auxiliary verbs such as 得

145
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
come before the main verb.

146
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,000
But which comes first in the sentence could change the meaning of the sentence.

147
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000
How do you say, is it necessary to buy tickets ahead of time?

148
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
得先買票嗎?

149
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:33,000
When the adverb 先 is followed by only one activity, it simply means ahead of time, not ahead of anything in particular.

150
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Now listen to this sentence.

151
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
先得去買票,然後再去買糖

152
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
When the adverb 先 comes before the auxiliary 得

153
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000
It indicates the ordering of more than one activity.

154
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
As in first do this, then do that.

155
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Try asking the question now.

156
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Is it necessary to buy tickets ahead of time?

157
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
You'll get a reply.

158
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
得先買票嗎?

159
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000
你最好兩三天以前去買票。

160
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Again

161
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
得先買票嗎?

162
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
你最好兩三天以前去買票。

163
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Now let's take a look at the answer.

164
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Repeat the phrase for best.

165
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
最好

166
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
最好

167
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Repeat two or three days.

168
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
兩三天

169
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
兩三天

170
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000
You can give the idea of a non-exact amount by using two consecutive numbers together.

171
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Repeat four or five weeks.

172
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
四五個星期

173
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
四五個星期

174
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
四五個星期

175
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000

兩三個星期

177
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
How do you say two or three days?

178
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Remember the word for day is one which takes no counter.

179
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
兩三天

180
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000

The phrase with 以前

193
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:31,000
How do you say it would be best for you to buy your tickets two or three days in advance.

194
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
你最好兩三天以前去買票。
