<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">PREFACE</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Standard. Chinese: A Modular Approach</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> originated in an interagency conference held at the Foreign Service Institute in August 1973 to address the need generally felt in the U.S. Government language training community for improving and updating Chinese materials to reflect current usage in Beijing and Taipei.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">The conference resolved to develop materials which were flexible enough in form and content to meet the requirements of a wide range of government agencies and academic institutions.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">A Project Board was established consisting of representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency Language Learning Center, the Defense Language Institute, the State Department's Foreign Service Institute, the Cryptologic School of the National Security Agency, and the U.S. Office of Education, later Joined by the Canadian Forces Foreign Language School. The representatives have included Arthur T. McNeill, John Hopkins, John Boag, and Hugh Clayton (CIA); Colonel John F. Elder III, Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy Gibian, Major Bernard Muller-Thym, and Colonel Roland W. Flemming (DLl); James R. Frith and John B. Ratliff III (FSI); Kazuo Shitama (NSA); Richard T. Thompson and Julia Petrov (OE); and Lieutenant Colonel George Kozoriz (CFFLS).</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">The Project Board set up the Chinese Core Curriculum Project in 197^ in space provided at the Foreign Service Institute. Each of the six U.S. and Canadian government agencies provided funds and other assistance.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Gerard P. Kok was appointed project coordinator, and a planning council was formed consisting of Mr. Kok, Frances Li of the Defense Language Institute, Patricia O'Connor of the University of Texas, Earl M. Rickerson of the Language Learning Center, and James Wrenn of Brown University. In the fall of 1977, Lucille A. Barale was appointed deputy project coordinator. David W. Dellinger of the Language Learning Center and Charles R. Sheehan of the Foreign Service Institute also served on the planning council and contributed material to the project. The planning council drew up the original overall design for the materials and met regularly to review their development.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Writers for the first half of the materials were John H. T. Harvey, Lucille A. Barale, and Roberta S. Barry, who worked in close cooperation with the planning council and with the Chinese staff of the Foreign Service Institute. Mr. Harvey developed the instructional formats of the comprehension and production self-study materials, and also designed the communication-based classroom activities and wrote the teacher's guides. Ms. Barale and Ms. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. From 1978 until the project's completion, writers for the course were Ms. Barale and Thomas E. Madden. They revised the field-test editions of the first six core modules and accompanying optional modules, and produced the materials subsequent to Module 6.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">All Chinese language material was prepared or selected by Chuan Ouyang Chao, Yunhui Chao, Ying-chih Chen, Hsiao-jung Chi, Eva Diao, Jan Hu, and Tsung-mi Li, assisted for part of the time by Leslie L. H. Chang, Chieh-fang Ou Lee, Ying-ming Chen, and Joseph Yu Hsu Wang. Anna Affholder, Mel-li Chen, and Henry Khuo helped in the preparation of a preliminary corpus of dialogues.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Administrative assistance was provided at various times by Joseph Abraham, Vincent Basciano, Lisa A. Bowden, Jill W. Ellis, Donna Fong, Judith J. Kieda, Renee T. C. Liang, Susan C. Pola, Peggy Ann Spitzer, and Kathleen Strype.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">The production of tape recordings was directed by Jose M. Ramirez of the Foreign Service Institute Recording Studio. The Chinese script was voiced by Mr. Chang, Ms. Chao, Ms. Chen, Mr. Chen, Ms. Diao, Ms. Hu, Mr. Khuo, and Mr. Li. The English script was read by Ms. Barale, Ms. Barry, Mr. Basciano, Ms. Ellis, Mr. Madden, Ms. Pola, and Ms. Strype.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">The graphics were originally produced by John McClelland of the Foreign Service Institute Audio-Visual staff, under the general supervision of Joseph A. Sadote, unit chief.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> was field-tested with the cooperation of Brown University, the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, the Foreign Service Institute, the CIA Language Learning Center, the United States Air Force Academy, the University of Illinois, and the University of Virginia.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">The Commandant of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center authorized the support necessary to print this edition.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">How to Study an Optional-Module Tape</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">The format of the optional modules is quite different from the format of the core modules, although both focus on what you need to know to deal with particular practical situations.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Each tape of an optional module is roughly equivalent to the five different tapes of a core-module unit, in the sense, at least, that it is intended as a self-contained presentation of a set of words and structures. Actually, however, an optional-module tape is closer to a combination of the C-l and P-1 tapes of a core-module unit with almost all explanations left in the notes. Moreover, an optional-module tape introduces considerably more vocabulary than a core-module unit.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Each tape is divided into several parts. Each part introduces words and sentences, some of them for comprehension only, next reviews all production items, and then reviews comprehension in extended dialogues.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">You may have found that you could work through the C-l and P-1 tapes of a core-module unit a single time each, perhaps going back over a few sections once or twice. You are almost sure to find, however, that you need to work through an optional-module tape more than once, perhaps frequently backing up and frequently stopping to read the Notes.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">When a new word or sentence is introduced, there is a‘pause on the tape before you hear the Chinese. On your first time through the tape, you may use this pause to glance at the word or sentence in the Reference List. On your next time through the tape, you may use it to try to say the Chinese, using the Chinese after the pause as a confirmation.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">In the dialogues at the end of each part, there are very short pauses between sentences. These should be just long enough for you to stop and start the tape without missing anything. Stop the tape whenever you want to think over the previous sentence or try to translate it.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">General</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">The purpose of the Restaurant Module (RST) is to acquaint you with Chinese cuisine and eating customs and to provide you with the linguistic skills you need to be able to order food in a restaurant or to dine at home.</span></p><img src="FSI-StandardChinese-OptionalModuleRST-StudentText_files/FSI-StandardChinese-OptionalModuleRST-StudentText-1.jpg" alt="" style="width:423pt;height:62pt;">

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">chi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: 'to eat'. The verb 'to eat' is often expressed using a general object compound, </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">chi fàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, instead of the simple verb </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">chi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Nl chī fàn le ma? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Have you eaten?</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Wō hái méi chi fàn. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I haven't eaten yet.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">suíbiàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This word meaning 'as you please*, or more literally 'following convenience', has a variety of uses.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Nl suíbiàn mài ba. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Buy what you want.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Nl qù bu qu? Suí nlde &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you going? Do what you</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">biàn ba. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;like.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">guōtiē</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This has been translated here as 'fried dumpling', but actually a </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">guōtiē</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> differs from a dumpling in several respects. We usually think of a dumpling as a solid lump of leavened dough dropped in soup to cook. A </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">guōtiē</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, however, is made of thin, unleavened dough, which serves as a wrapper for a filling. This filling may be Chinese cabbage, port, beef, lamb, or any combination, thereof. Secondly, a </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">guōtiē</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is not dropped in soup, but is steamed and fried, so that the bottom is crisp and the top is soft.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">bāozi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is a round of steamed bread filled with salty stuffing (cabbage, pork, beef, shrimp, etc.) or sweet stuffing (red bean puree, walnuts, almonds, etc.). The steamed bread is made from a raised dough and forms a thick bun, somewhat similar in concept to a hamburger.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">suān là tāng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: A thick spicy soup made of pork, white bean curd, &quot;red bean curd&quot; (actually dried chicken or pork blood), dried tiger lily flowers, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and egg.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Hái yào jige bāozi, zēnmeyàng?</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: The toneless syllable </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ji-</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">means 'a few' or 'several'. It may be difficult to distinguish between </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">jige</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. 'a few', from </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">jīge</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. 'how many' in rapid speech. Usually there will be other clues such as intonation and context to help you distinguish them. This is discussed again in Unit 3 of the </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Directions</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> Module.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Bú yào diān tài duō le.</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: The phrase </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">bú yào</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is used to mean 'don't' in sentences expressing a command. You'll learn more about this in the </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Transportat ion</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> Module. The marker </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">le</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> for new situation is used here to reinforce the idea of 'excessive'. Whenever a speaker says something is excessive, he is actually saying that it has BECOME excessive.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">xiǎochìdiàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is a small place where you can grab something to eat. </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">(XiSochi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> means 'snack’.) If you are in a city in China, you are probably not far from one. A </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">xiǎochìdiàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is often run by one or two people. It may be arranged so that the cooking area faces the street, in which case you'll probably walk through the kitchen as you head for a table. Putting the kitchen at the front, facing the street, makes for better ventilation and allows people on the street to see and smell what is being cooked. Inside you are likely to find small tables without tablecloths, and stools. There is generally no menu, but some of the dishes may be written on a blackboard or on,red pieces of paper which are hung on the wall. Since the </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">xiǎochìdiàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is often a small operation, it may only offer a few things or it may specialize in serving one type of food, such as noodles or dumplings. The word </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">xiǎo</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> in </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">xiǎochìdiàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, refers not to the size of the establishment, but to the types of food offered.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Tāmen dōu yōu shénme?</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: The word </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">dōu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> in this sentence refers to the object, not the subject. In other words, the sentence is translated as 'What all do they have?' in this context. In another conversation the same sentence might mean 'What do they all have?'</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">This type of question with </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">dōu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> expects an answer with more than one item mentioned. The </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">dōu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> may be thought to refer to the object in the answer.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zhēng jiào</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: These are crescent-shaped dumplings filled with cabbage and meat which are steam cooked. The steaming is done by-placing the dumplings in a bamboo basket, which is one layer in a stack of bamboo baskets called a </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zhēng 16ng,</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> and then placing the whole stack over a container of boiling water.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">gěi wo lái ...</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: The verb </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">lái</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> here means not ’to come’ but ’to bring’ since it is followed by a noun. The word </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">gěi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is the prepositional verb ’for’.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">yìlòng zhēng ji&amp;o</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: Steamed dumplings are sold by the basket and served in the basket that they are steamed in. The word for one tier of such baskets is used as a counter, </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">-16ng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> (</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">yìlòng, liànglòng. </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">etc.).</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">tang miàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is the name for a class of dishes made of noodles and soup. Unlike the Western idea of soup with some noodles, </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">tāng miàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is basically noodles with some soup added. Because Northern China is a wheat growing area, noodles are a staple in the diet of that region. A bowl of noodles can be used to make a side dish for a large meal, or, with a little soup and meat added, can be a meal in itself. Noodles are commonly made in six-to-ten-foot lengths in China, and are regarded as a symbol of longevity.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ch&amp;o miàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: One of the verbs translated 'to fry' is </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">chip.</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> It is also sometimes translated as 'stir fry'. The Chinese language has several verbs meaning 'to fry'. </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Chào</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> means to fry in a little oil, stirring rapidly and constantly, not unlike sautéing.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">niúròu miàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This dish consists of noodles in soup with pieces of beef. The word for 'beef is </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">niúròu,</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> literally 'cow', </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">nifi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. and 'meat', </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ròu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. In the names of Chinese dishes, the thing the dish is primarily composed of, in this case noodles, is at the end of the phrase. Those words coming before describe the additional foods with which the dish is prepared or the style in which it is prepared.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">.1 i£ozi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: A crescent-shaped dumpling, made of white dough and stuffed with a mixture of meat and scallions or mixed vegetables. </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Ji&amp;ozi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> nay be served steamed, </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zhēng jiKo</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> or boiled, </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">shul jilo</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. It is said that Marco Polo took the idea of these dumplings back to Italy inspiring the creation of ravioli.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ròusī miàn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is noodles in soup with shreds of pork and vegetables. Actually, the word </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ròu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> means simply 'meat', not 'pork'. But the basic meat of China has always been pork, and therefore </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ròu </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">on a menu refers to pork unless otherwise specified.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">shénmede</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This word, used after a series of nouns, means 'and so on' or 'etcetera'.</span></p>

Since </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">chāo</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> means 'to stir fry’, however, it actually refers to scrambled eggs.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">kāo miàribāo</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: 'Toast'. This phrase is the verb </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">kāo</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> 'to roast' and the word for 'bread', </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">miànbāo</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">.</span></p>

The word </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zài</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is the adverb 'again'.

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">shāobing</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is a baked roll with layers of dough and covered with sesame seeds.

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zhldao</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: The verb ’to know*, </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zhldao</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is a state verb and therefore can be negated, only with the syllable bù.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Notice also that the verb 'to know', </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zhldao</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, has a neutral tone on the last syllable. But when it is negated, the verb 'to know' has tones on all syllables, </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">bù zhīdào</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Nī .Hàode tài duo le.</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">; 'You've ordered too much.'

The phrase </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Nt jiàode</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is a modifying phrase with the modified noun (perhaps 'food' or 'dishes') deleted.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Máp6 dòufu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is a peppery hot dish made of bean curd, finely chopped beef or pork and hot bean paste. This dish is typical of the Szechwan style of cooking, which is noted for hot spicy dishes.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">yúxiāng qiézi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This name literally means ’fragrant-fish e</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ggp</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">lant *. However. there is no fish used in the preparation of the dish. It is made with scallions, ginger, garlic, hot bean paste, vinegar and soy sauce. </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Yúxiāng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> refers to a famous Szechwan manner of preparation which was originally used to make fish dishes, but was later applied to other foods, such as pork, beef, and eggplant.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">jlding</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: Earlier you saw the word </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">jīpiān</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. 'chicken slices', now you see the word </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">jlding,</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> which means 'chicken cubes' or 'diced chicken'. Both are commonly used in the names of dishes.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">xiārén guoba tāng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">; This is a shrimp and tomato soup into which squares of dried crispy rice are dropped. These squares of rice bear some resemblance to 'rice crispies'. They are the crisp browned part of the rice left at the bottom of the pot. As the crispy rice squares are poured into the hot soup, a sizzling, crackling sound is given off.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">básī píngguo</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is a dessert made of apple slices Which are covered with a light batter and- deep fried. The fried apples are then dipped in a hot mixture of sugar-syrup and sesame seeds. The apples are coated much in the same way taffy apples are. These hot sugar-coated apples are then dropped into a bowl of ice water, which hardens the sugar syrup covering into a crisp candy coating. The result is a dessert which combines a number of textures and tastes. The name for this dessert is translated many ways: 'spun taffy apples', 'caramel apple fritters', 'pulled silk apples'. Bananas can also be prepared in this way.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Dinner in a Szechwan Restaurant</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">; China has a rich and varied tradition of cooking, due to the size of the country, the many different foods available, and the long history of its culture. The numberous styles of cooking may be grouped into the following schools: The Northern School (Jīng cài), The Sichuan School (</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Chuān Cài</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">), The Húnǎn School (</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Xiǎng Cài</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">), The Shànghǎi School (</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">HÙ Cài</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">). The Fújiàn School (Mln Cài), The Canton School (</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Yuè Cài</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">)» each with its own distinct style and famous dishes. It is common to find restaurants representing most of these schools of cooking in many cities in China.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Dāngr&amp;n h&amp;i yào yíge tāng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: The speaker says '</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Naturally</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> w'n also want a soup.' because soup is a part of every Chinese meal, from the simplest lunch to the most elaborate dinner. The reason for this is that, unless toasts are being drunk, the Chinese do not drink beverages along with their meal. The soup, which is served at the end of the meal, is the main liquid of the meal.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">kāndedǒng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is a compound verb of result meaning ’can read and understand (It)’. Its negative counterpart is </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">klnbudSng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, ’can’t read and understand (it)’. See </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Meeting Module</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. Reference Notes for Unit 1 for a discussion of compound verbs of result.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Tā xiěde zì, wo kānbudSng. I can't read (understand) his writing.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Huánghuā Yú</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: The </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Seiaena Sohelegelì</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is translated here as 'yellow fish'. It is sometimes referred to in Chinese as </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">huáng yu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. In English, it is also called croaker, drum fish, or China Bass. Since the </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">huánghuā yú</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is a fish native to China, any American fish name given to it, such as croaker, is at best only a rough equivalent.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Húngshāo Yú</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: The ’red-cooked' style of cooking involves stewing the meat, or in this case, the fish, in soy sauce, sherry and water. It is called 'red-cooked' because of the reddish-brown color the soy sauce gives the dish.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Cōngbào Niúròu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: Beef with Spring Onions. Literally, this means 'spring onions-fried beef*. </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Bào</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is another method of cooking. It is similar to </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">chǎo</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> 'sauté', but uses less oil and highet heat.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Zhācāi RousI Tāng:</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> Although translated here as 'Szechwan Hot Pickled Cabbage . </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zhācāi</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is properly made from mustard green roots preserved with salt and hot pepper. It can be used to flavor foods or it can be eaten by itself.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">mlfǎn</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This word refers to cooked rice. It can also refer to rice dishes, such as </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">chǎo fan</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">huājuǎr</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: Flower-rolls are made of steamed bread, which has been shaped into layers resembling petals.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">suān yíxiā zhāng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: The verb </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">suān</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> means 'to figure, to calculate '. </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Suan zhāng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> means 'to figure accounts', 'to calculate the bill'. Here the word </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">yíxiā</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> follows the verb. The use of </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">yíxiā </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">after a verb has an effect similar to reduplicating the verb, that is it makes the action more casual.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zāi hēibǎnshang xiǎzhe ne</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">-Zhe</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is the marker of DURATION of actions and states. It indicates that an action or state lasted for an amount of time. The marker ne, on the other hand, marks ONGOING (and therefore present) actions or states. In this expression the marker </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">-zhe</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> tells us that at some time the dishes CONTINUE in the state of being written on the blackboard, and the marker </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ne </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">tells us that that state is GOING ON now. </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">-Zhe</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> is used in </span><span class="font11" style="font-weight:bold;">sentences </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">to describe activities which last over a period of time, whether that time is past, present or future. A verb plus </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">-zhe</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> in Chinese often corresponds to the ’-ing’ form of the verb in English.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">WSmen zuòzhe shuō huà, h£o bu hao?</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Can you get there by walking?</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Let's sit awhile and talk, okay?</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Tomorrow night will it be a sit-down dinner or will we eat standing up?</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">He is still sick.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">gōngnōngbíng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This expression is a conglomeration of the words for worker, </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">gōngren</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, 'farmer’, </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">nōngmín</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, and 'soldier', </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">bing</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. Notice that the first syllable (or only syllable) of each is used to make this abbreviated form.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">chīdelái</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is a compound verb of result with the syllable -de- inserted between the action verb and the ending verb. This pattern is <sub>(</sub>used to express the meaning 'able to ____'. Usually</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">the second verb of the compound expresses the specific result of the action, but here the verb </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">lái</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> expresses only the general idea of result. (The verb </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">lái</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> in this position has been called a 'dummy result ending'. </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Qù</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> can also be used this way.) Although no specific result is expressed here, the pattern is still used because it expresses the idea of 'can' or 'able to*.</span></p>

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Notice that in this situation the cafeteria attendant does not let the foreigners stand in line for their food. Instead he waits on them getting them special food when possible. The Chinese feel that foreigners are their guests and should be treated accordingly.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Wo bù dōu kàndedǒng</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: Notice that the American woman chooses a rather indirect way of letting the Chinese attendant know that she cannot read. In the lines following, the attendant answers back simply suggesting some of the more tasty dishes, a courteous and face-saving response.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Hui yòng, kěshi yōngde bú tài h&amp;o</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is another courteous response.

Each guest cooks his meat and vegetables in the boiling water of the fire pot, often with four or five people simultaneously keeping track of their food as it is cooking. After his meat is cooked he then dips it into various sauces and eats it.

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Hongshāo Yuchì</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: Shark’s Fin is considered a delicacy by the Chinese because it is rare, nutritious and has a smooth, chewy texture when cooked. Some people think that it is best prepared in the red-cooked style.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Xiāngsū Yā</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: Fragrant Crispy Duck is marinated and steamed with onions, wine, ginger, pepper and anise, then deep fried quickly for a crispy result. This method of preparing duck is an example of southern style cooking.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Fùguì JI</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: 'Beggar’s Chicken* is a whole chicken wrapped in wet clay, then roasted until very tender. It is said that this method of preparation was first used by beggars. Originally this dish was called </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Jiǎohua JI</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, literally 'Beggar's Chicken'; but as the dish became popular among the upper class, the name changed to </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Fùguì JI</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, literally 'Riches and Honor Chicken'.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Dōnggua Zhong</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: Winter melon, mushrooms, and ham go into this soup. On festive occasions the melon shell is carved with decorations, such as dragons, and used as a bowl for serving the soup. This is a Cantonese specialty.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Xìngrěn DÒufu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: This is translated here as 'Almond Pudding'. Because </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Xìngrén D§ufu</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">, with its light consistency, is somewhere between a pudding and a gelatin, 'Almond Gelatin’ would also be a fitting translation of the name.</span></p>
<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Babǎo Fan</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: 'Eight Jewel Rice'. This is sweet sticky rice (</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ndmìY</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> with preserved fruits.

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Zuì Ji</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">: ’Drunken Chicken’.

The verb </span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">zuì</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;"> ’to get drunk’, refers to the fact that the chicken is marinated in wine at least over-night.

<p><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">Most of the entertaining at a Chinese dinner party takes place at the dinner table, although there is some tea drinking and chatting both before and after the meal in other rooms. The dinner is served at a leisurely pace so that each dish may be savored and talked about. A good dish is appreciated for its appearance as much as its taste, texture and aroma. As each dish is eaten, toasts will be made. The host will start off by toasting the guest of honor and then other guests as a group. As the evening progresses he will toast each guest in turn and each guest will probably propose a toast of his own in honor of the host. A strongly flavored liquor (</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">gāoliang jiǔ)</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. a milder rice wine (</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">huíng jiǔ)</span><span class="font10" style="font-weight:bold;">. or beer may be served. Guests usually drink only when toasting. If you'd like to take a drink of something you either propose a toast or catch someon's eye and silently toast each other.</span></p>
