2840	6640	Money Module, Unit 1, Comprehension Tape 1.
6640	8840	This unit is set in the ROC.
8840	12280	On this tape, you'll learn to understand some basic questions and answers
12280	15520	used in buying things at a newsstand.
15520	18280	Peter Crook is in the reading room of a library in Taipei
18280	20800	and is looking for an English language newspaper.
20800	24920	Listen as he asks another student if the reading room has any.
24920	28640	Are there any English language newspapers here?
28640	31520	这里有英文报吗?
31520	34240	这里有英文报吗?
34240	37320	Yes, they're right over there.
37320	40160	有,就在那里。
40160	43000	有,就在那里。
43000	45400	Here's the word for newspaper.
45400	48920	报,报。
48920	51640	And here's the word used for write in expressions like
51640	54760	right here or right over there.
54760	58800	就,就。
58800	62200	We can understand better how the question in this exchange is put together
62200	66800	if we listen to the full answer to it with a word for word English translation.
66800	72000	Listen, here there are English language newspapers.
72000	75480	这里有英文报。
75480	78360	这里有英文报。
78360	83720	In Chinese, the place word 这里 is followed directly by the verb 有.
83720	88680	In English, the word 这里 is added between the place word here and the verb are.
88680	92320	Here, there are English language newspapers.
92320	97480	In both English and Chinese, the place word 这里 is the topic of the sentence.
97480	101480	The word that lets you know what the sentence is going to say something about.
101480	109240	You'll remember an earlier case where the filler word 这里 was added to fill the subject position of an English sentence with no real subject.
109240	112240	There are five people in my family.
112240	118880	Chinese doesn't need to add a subject, saying simply 我家里有五个人。
118880	121440	Here's the exchange again.
121440	128680	Are there any English language newspapers here? 这里有英文报吗?
128680	131720	这里有英文报吗?
131720	137160	Yes, they're right over there. 有,就在那里。

140240	146400	Now listen to it live. 这里有英文报吗?

162840	167840	Are there any English language newspapers here? 有,就在那里。
167840	172720	有,就在那里。

180760	191000	Are there any English language newspapers here? 这里有英文报吗?
191000	196160	Yes, they're right over there. 有,就在那里。
196160	199520	有,就在那里。
199520	209520	In asking a yes-no question, instead of using the yes-no question marker, ma, you may offer your listener a choice between the affirmative and the negative.
209520	215240	When the negative form is tagged on at the end, both syllables are usually in the neutral tone.
215240	220640	Listen to the exchange live. 这里有英文报没有?
220640	223480	有,就在那里。
223480	233000	The structure of this type of yes-no question, which we will call a choice type yes-no question, can be brought out by a more literal English translation.
233000	235600	这里有英文报没有?
235600	244120	Are there any English language newspapers here or not? Here's the exchange again. 这里有英文报没有?
244120	246560	有,就在那里。
246560	253000	Check your comprehension. 这里有英文报没有?
253000	260640	Are there any English language newspapers here? 有,就在那里。
260640	269840	Yes, they're right over there. Suppose the library hadn't had any English newspapers.
269840	282000	After leaving the library, Mr. Cook goes to a newsstand. Listen, I'd like to buy an English language newspaper. 我想买英文报。
282000	285000	I'd like to buy an English newspaper. 我想买英文报。
285000	295000	Fine, they're right here. 好,就在这里。
295000	303000	Here's the verb used for to like to or to want to. 想,想。
303000	310000	You've had the verb 想 before, meaning to think or to plan or intend to.
310000	317000	Here's the verb for to buy. 买,买。
317000	337000	Notice the use of the word 好, which has the basic meaning to be good. In situations like this, it's used for expressions like fine, sure, certainly, or all right. Listen to the exchange live. 我想买英文报。
337000	345000	好,就在这里。 Again, 我想买英文报。
345000	352000	好,就在这里。 Check your comprehension. 我想买英文报。
352000	362000	I'd like to buy an English language newspaper. 好,就在这里。
362000	384000	Fine, they're right here. Having spotted the English language newspaper he wants, Mr. Cook finds out the price from the clerk. Listen, how much is this one? 这个多少钱?
384000	396000	5块钱。 五块钱。 Here's the word for how much. 多少,多少。
396000	402000	And here's the word for money. 钱,钱。
402000	427000	Notice that the Chinese question about price has no word which corresponds to the verb is in English. Word for word, the question 这个多少钱 is this one, how much money? Listen to the exchange again. How much is this one? 这个多少钱?
427000	440000	5块钱。 五块钱。 Here's how you say one dollar. 一块钱。
440000	467000	Notice that quite is a counter for an amount of money, namely one dollar. The amount 五块钱, therefore, is literally five dollars money. The dollars in this exchange are, of course, Taiwan dollars. As of 1975, five Taiwan dollars was equivalent to about 13.5 cents in our terms. Here's the exchange live. 这个多少钱?
467000	473000	5块钱。 Again. 这个多少钱?
473000	482000	5块钱。 Check your comprehension. 这个多少钱?
482000	488000	How much is this one? 五块钱。
488000	511000	5 dollars. A clerk is also likely to quote a price as so much per unit, using the appropriate counter to indicate the unit. Listen. How much is this Chinese language newspaper? 这个中文报多少钱?
511000	519000	3块钱一份。 三块钱一份。
519000	532000	The bound word 份, copy, is a counter for newspapers. Here's how you say one copy of a newspaper. 一份报。
532000	539000	The clerk is saying that the newspaper is three dollars per copy. Listen to the exchange live. 这个中文报多少钱?
539000	549000	3块钱一份。 Again. 这个中文报多少钱?
549000	559000	3块钱一份。 Check your comprehension. 这个中文报多少钱?

585000	592000	Yes, we do. 我们这里卖。 我们这里卖。
592000	599000	Here's the verb for to sell. 卖。
599000	612000	Notice that the verbs for to sell and to buy are the same except for tones. The word for to buy is 卖 in the low tone, while the word for to sell is 卖 in the falling tone.
612000	620000	Here's the word for magazine. 杂志。
620000	631000	In the topic positions in these sentences are the place phrases 女们这里 and 女们这里, which means something like your place here and our place here.
631000	639000	We might catch where the Chinese sentences are really saying by translating them. As for your place here, do you sell American magazines?
639000	649000	As for our place here, we don't. Listen to the exchange live. 你们这里卖美国杂志不卖?
649000	660000	我们这里卖。 Notice that the question in this exchange is a choice type question, with a negative choice 不卖, tagged on at the end in the neutral tone.

666000	676000	我们这里卖。 Check your comprehension. 你们这里卖美国杂志不卖?
676000	682000	Do you sell American magazines here? 我们这里卖。
682000	699000	Yes, we do. The conversation continues. How much is this one? 这个多少钱?
699000	709000	Thirty dollars a copy. 三十块钱一本。
709000	718000	Fine, I'll buy one. 好,我买一本。
718000	729000	The counter for magazines or books is 本。 When it's used with magazines, we translate it copy. When it's used with books, we translate it volume.
729000	737000	Here's how you say one copy of a magazine. 一本杂志。
737000	742000	Here's the exchange live. 这个多少钱?
742000	749000	三十块钱一本。 好,我买一本。

793000	806000	I'm sorry, we don't sell American books. 对不起,美国书我们不卖。
806000	812000	Here's the word for book. 书。
812000	821000	You'll remember it from the phrase 念书, study books. Here's the expression used for I'm sorry.
821000	826000	对不起 对不起。
826000	833000	More literally, the expression 对不起 means something like I can't face you.
833000	840000	Now listen to the answer. We don't sell American books. Without the expression I'm sorry in front of it.
840000	850000	We don't sell American books. 美国书我们不卖。
850000	865000	In this sentence, the object 美国书 comes first in the topic position, followed by the subject, woman. We can do the same thing in English, as in the sentence, American books we don't sell.
865000	872000	Here's the exchange live. 你们这里有美国书没有?
872000	880000	对不起,美国书我们不卖。 Again, 你们这里有美国书没有?

905000	912000	As we said, the words for to buy and to sell are the same except for their tones, but which is which?
912000	919000	One way to keep them straight is to learn them in a fixed order, the order we would normally follow in English, buy and sell.
919000	926000	Listen, 买买.
926000	933000	Notice that they are in the same order in which the tones were originally presented with low tone followed by falling tone.
933000	944000	Listen to buy and sell again. 买买.
944000	955000	To help sort these two words out, try translating the following random sentences about buying and selling. 他买报.
955000	962000	He buys newspapers. 他卖报.

1081000	1091000	All together it's thirty five dollars. 一共三十五块.
1091000	1099000	Here's the adverb all together. 一共一共.
1099000	1106000	Notice that the adverb一共 all together comes after the items it sums up and before the price.
1106000	1113000	In this exchange, the money expressions have been abbreviated by omitting the word 钱, money.
1113000	1119000	You will only be required to understand this kind of abbreviation, not to produce it.
