接

47
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
the verb 接 is used here with the result ending 找

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
which indicates success and obtaining something

49
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000

大使接着你们的请帖了

52
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
notice that because the object 您的请帖

53
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
is not an amount object

54
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
the marker for completed action comes at the end of the sentence

55
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
say it ahead of the speaker now

56
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000

00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000

notice how the short phrase 太有事

70
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
is used to mean

71
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
he has a previous engagement

72
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
it's considered perfectly polite in Chinese to say that you're busy

73
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
without going into an explanation of why

74
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
notice also that the phrase 很可惜

75
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
starts off the Chinese sentence

76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
just as unfortunately does in English

77
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,000
repeat again

78
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000

meaning in place of

139
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
is different from the prepositional verb 给

140
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
also translated for

often receives a benefit

146
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
now repeat

147
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
I'll teach for you

148
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
我替你教书

149
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
我替你教书

150
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
the prepositional verb T

151
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
means to substitute for

152
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
to take the place of

153
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
it's used to describe

taking over a task

155
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
which someone else

had an obligation to do

157
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000

both T and 给

162
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
can be translated as 4

163
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,000
but if you think of 给

164
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
as meaning for the benefit of

165
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
and T as meaning in place of

计划到长城去玩

268
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
the conversation continues

269
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
listen

270
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
你们能不能一起去

00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000
notice also

282
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
that the adverb

283
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
一起 is used to

284
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,000

294
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
repeat truly on timely or more loosely, we really couldn't make that.

00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:35,000
真不巧,真不巧。

00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
repeat there's no way or it can't be helped.

repeat we have a previous engagement that day, we have no way of going.

300
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000
那天我们有事,没办法去。

301
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000
how do you say we really couldn't make that?

302
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:23,000
真不巧,how do you say we have a previous engagement that day, we have no way of going?

303
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000
那天我们有事,没办法去。

304
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:36,000
how do you say we really couldn't make that?

309
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:27,000
the Canadian replies, listen,希望以后再找机会聚一聚吧。

310
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:37,000
repeat the verb to get together or to gather to assemble,聚,聚。

311
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:45,000
repeat, find a chance to get together,找机会聚一聚。

312
00:17:45,000 --> 00:18:03,000
notice that the verb聚 is reduplicated here using the syllable e, this makes the activity sound more informal, also this verb is usually used to me get together at someone's place, rather than get together to go out and do something.

313
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:14,000
repeat, I hope that later we'll again find an opportunity to get together,希望以后再找机会聚一聚吧。

314
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:22,000
希望以后再找机会聚一聚吧。

00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:37,000
say it ahead of the speaker, I hope that later we'll again find an opportunity to get together,希望以后再找机会聚一聚吧。

316
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:45,000
try responding to Ma Mingli yourself now, say that you hope that later you'll again find an opportunity to get together,

317
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:55,000
真不巧,那天我们有事,没办法去。

318
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
希望以后再找机会聚一聚吧。

319
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
again,

320
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:11,000
真不巧,那天我们有事,没办法去。

321
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
希望以后再找机会聚一聚吧。

322
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:21,000
now let's review this last conversation you just learned, I'll give you the sentences in English you put them into Chinese.

323
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:33,000

00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
真不巧,

329
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:03,000
we have a previous engagement that day, we have no way of going.

330
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
那天我们有事,没办法去。

331
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:17,000
I hope that later we'll again find an opportunity to get together.

332
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000

大使接着你们的清铁了。Unfortunately, because he has a previous engagement, he can't come on August 9th.

340
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:20,000
