00:02.560 --> 00:07.080
biographic information module unit 7 comprehension tape 1

00:08.540 --> 00:10.960
this unit is set in the ROC

00:11.640 --> 00:15.480
on this tape you learn to understand questions and answers about where you work

00:15.480 --> 00:18.920
where and what you studied and what languages you can speak

00:19.800 --> 00:24.320
Ms. Mao, a graduate student, has just met Mr. King and Mr. Crook

00:24.760 --> 00:27.520
listen as she finds out what Mr. King does

00:28.520 --> 00:29.520
Where do you work?

00:30.520 --> 00:32.520
您在哪里工作?

00:33.520 --> 00:34.520
您在哪里工作?

00:35.520 --> 00:37.520
I work for the State Department.

00:38.520 --> 00:40.520
我在美国国务院工作。

00:41.520 --> 00:43.520
我在美国国务院工作。

00:45.520 --> 00:47.520
Here's the word for State Department.

00:48.520 --> 00:49.520
国务院。

00:50.520 --> 00:51.520
国务院。

00:52.520 --> 00:53.520
国务院。

00:53.520 --> 00:55.520
Here's the exchange live.

00:56.520 --> 00:57.520
您在哪里工作?

00:58.520 --> 01:00.520
我在美国国务院工作。

01:01.520 --> 01:04.520
In English, saying you work at the State Department

01:05.520 --> 01:06.520
means you work at its headquarters in Washington.

01:07.520 --> 01:09.520
When you're employed by the State Department somewhere else,

01:10.520 --> 01:10.520
you say,

01:11.520 --> 01:12.520
I work for the State Department.

01:13.520 --> 01:13.520
In Chinese,

01:14.520 --> 01:16.520
you would answer with the prepositional verb 再 in either case.

01:17.520 --> 01:18.520
Here's the exchange again.

01:20.520 --> 01:21.520
您在哪里工作?

01:21.520 --> 01:22.520
您在哪里工作?

01:23.520 --> 01:25.520
我在美国国务院工作。

01:26.520 --> 01:27.520
Check your comprehension.

01:28.520 --> 01:29.520
您在哪里工作?

01:32.520 --> 01:33.520
Where do you work?

01:34.520 --> 01:36.520
我在美国国务院工作。

01:39.520 --> 01:41.520
I work for the State Department.

01:42.520 --> 01:45.520
Now listen as Miss Mao finds out what Mr. Cook does.

01:46.520 --> 01:47.520
Where do you work?

01:47.520 --> 01:50.520
您在哪里工作?

01:51.520 --> 01:52.520
您在哪里工作?

01:53.520 --> 01:54.520
I'm a student.

01:55.520 --> 01:56.520
我是学生.

01:57.520 --> 01:58.520
我是学生.

02:00.520 --> 02:01.520
Here's the word for student.

02:02.520 --> 02:03.520
学生.

02:04.520 --> 02:05.520
学生.

02:06.520 --> 02:07.520
学生.

02:08.520 --> 02:09.520
Here's the exchange again, live.

02:10.520 --> 02:11.520
您在哪里工作?

02:12.520 --> 02:13.520
我是学生.

02:14.520 --> 02:15.520
Again,

02:15.520 --> 02:16.520
您在哪里工作?

02:17.520 --> 02:18.520
我是学生.

02:19.520 --> 02:20.520
Check your comprehension.

02:21.520 --> 02:22.520
您在哪里工作?

02:25.520 --> 02:26.520
Where do you work?

02:27.520 --> 02:28.520
我是学生.

02:31.520 --> 02:32.520
I'm a student.

02:33.520 --> 02:35.520
Instead of being asked directly where you work,

02:36.520 --> 02:38.520
you are more likely to be asked what you came to do.

02:39.520 --> 02:40.520
Here's the word for to do.

02:41.520 --> 02:42.520
坐.

02:42.520 --> 02:44.520
坐.

02:45.520 --> 02:46.520
坐.

02:47.520 --> 02:48.520
Here's how you say to study.

02:49.520 --> 02:50.520
念书.

02:51.520 --> 02:52.520
念书.

02:53.520 --> 02:54.520
念书.

02:55.520 --> 02:59.520
Literally the expression 念书 means to study books.

03:00.520 --> 03:03.520
Listen to the following exchange between Miss Mao and Mr. Cook.

03:04.520 --> 03:06.520
What did you come here to do?

03:07.520 --> 03:08.520
您来做什么?

03:09.520 --> 03:10.520
您来做什么?

03:10.520 --> 03:11.520
您来做什么?

03:12.520 --> 03:13.520
我来念书.

03:14.520 --> 03:15.520
我来念书.

03:16.520 --> 03:17.520
我来念书.

03:18.520 --> 03:21.520
When the verb lie to come is followed by another verb,

03:22.520 --> 03:24.520
the second verb expresses the purpose of the coming.

03:25.520 --> 03:26.520
Here's the exchange live.

03:27.520 --> 03:28.520
您来做什么?

03:29.520 --> 03:30.520
我来念书.

03:31.520 --> 03:32.520
Again,您来做什么?

03:33.520 --> 03:34.520
我来念书.

03:35.520 --> 03:36.520
Check your comprehension.

03:36.520 --> 03:39.520
您来做什么?

03:41.520 --> 03:42.520
What did you come here to do?

03:43.520 --> 03:44.520
我来念书.

03:46.520 --> 03:48.520
I came here to study.

03:50.520 --> 03:52.520
To ask a person about his own occupation,

03:53.520 --> 03:55.520
you use the question 你在哪里工作?

03:56.520 --> 03:58.520
In asking about a third person's occupation,

03:59.520 --> 04:00.520
you can use a blunter question.

04:01.520 --> 04:02.520
Listen to this live exchange.

04:02.520 --> 04:05.520
您朋友的哥哥做什么?

04:06.520 --> 04:08.520
他在台湾银行工作.

04:09.520 --> 04:12.520
Again,您朋友的哥哥做什么?

04:13.520 --> 04:15.520
他在台湾银行工作.

04:16.520 --> 04:17.520
Check your comprehension.

04:18.520 --> 04:20.520
您朋友的哥哥做什么?

04:24.520 --> 04:26.520
What does your friend's older brother do?

04:26.520 --> 04:31.520
他在台湾银行工作.

04:32.520 --> 04:34.520
He works at the Bank of Taiwan.

04:35.520 --> 04:38.520
Let's go back to Miss Mao's conversation with Mr. Cook.

04:39.520 --> 04:41.520
When you're talking about studying a particular subject,

04:42.520 --> 04:45.520
the verb 念 to study is followed by the name of that subject.

04:46.520 --> 04:48.520
Listen as the conversation continues.

04:49.520 --> 04:51.520
Oh, I'm a student too.

04:52.520 --> 04:54.520
哦,我也是学生.

04:54.520 --> 04:56.520
May I ask, what are you studying?

04:57.520 --> 04:59.520
请问,您念什么?

05:00.520 --> 05:02.520
请问,您念什么?

05:03.520 --> 05:04.520
I'm studying history.

05:05.520 --> 05:06.520
我念历史.

05:07.520 --> 05:08.520
我念历史.

05:09.520 --> 05:11.520
Here's the word for history.

05:12.520 --> 05:13.520
历史.

05:14.520 --> 05:15.520
历史.

05:16.520 --> 05:17.520
历史.

05:18.520 --> 05:20.520
Now here's the exchange live.

05:20.520 --> 05:23.520
哦,我也是学生.

05:24.520 --> 05:25.520
请问,您念什么?

05:26.520 --> 05:27.520
我念历史.

05:28.520 --> 05:29.520
Again.

05:30.520 --> 05:31.520
哦,我也是学生.

05:32.520 --> 05:33.520
请问,您念什么?

05:34.520 --> 05:35.520
我念历史.

05:36.520 --> 05:37.520
Check your comprehension.

05:38.520 --> 05:40.520
哦,我也是学生.

05:42.520 --> 05:44.520
Oh, I'm a student too.

05:45.520 --> 05:47.520
请问,您念什么?

05:47.520 --> 05:49.520
请问,您念什么?

05:52.520 --> 05:54.520
May I ask, what are you studying?

05:55.520 --> 05:56.520
我念历史.

05:59.520 --> 06:00.520
I'm studying history.

06:02.520 --> 06:04.520
If you want to talk about studying a language,

06:04.520 --> 06:06.520
you usually use a different word for it to study.

06:07.520 --> 06:08.520
Here it is.

06:08.520 --> 06:09.520
学.

06:10.520 --> 06:11.520
学.

06:11.520 --> 06:12.520
学.

06:13.520 --> 06:14.520
The word学

06:14.520 --> 06:17.520
means study in the sense of learning or acquiring a skill.

06:18.520 --> 06:20.520
You'll recognize it from the word for student.

06:20.520 --> 06:21.520
学生.

06:22.520 --> 06:25.520
The word 念 on the other hand is used for taking courses

06:25.520 --> 06:26.520
and formal book learning.

06:28.520 --> 06:31.520
Here's the word for Chinese in the sense of the Chinese language.

06:32.520 --> 06:33.520
中文.

06:34.520 --> 06:35.520
中文.

06:36.520 --> 06:37.520
中文.

06:38.520 --> 06:39.520
The conversation continues.

06:41.520 --> 06:42.520
What are you studying, Mr. Cook?

06:42.520 --> 06:44.520
科先生,您念什么?

06:45.520 --> 06:47.520
科先生,您念什么?

06:49.520 --> 06:50.520
I'm studying Chinese here.

06:51.520 --> 06:53.520
我在这里学中文.

06:54.520 --> 06:56.520
我在这里学中文.

06:57.520 --> 06:58.520
The term 中文

06:58.520 --> 07:00.520
can mean either the spoken or the written language.

07:01.520 --> 07:03.520
The use of the verb 学 in Mr. Cook's answer

07:04.520 --> 07:06.520
implies that he is learning spoken Chinese,

07:06.520 --> 07:08.520
which involves acquiring an active skill.

07:09.520 --> 07:11.520
If you were concentrating on

07:11.520 --> 07:13.520
just being able to re-written Chinese,

07:14.520 --> 07:16.520
he would probably have answered with 念.

07:17.520 --> 07:18.520
Here's the exchange slide.

07:19.520 --> 07:20.520
科先生,您念什么?

07:21.520 --> 07:23.520
我在这里学中文.

07:24.520 --> 07:25.520
Again.

07:26.520 --> 07:27.520
科先生,您念什么?

07:28.520 --> 07:29.520
我在这里学中文.

07:30.520 --> 07:31.520
Check your comprehension.

07:32.520 --> 07:34.520
科先生,您念什么?

07:37.520 --> 07:39.520
What are you studying, Mr. Cook?

07:39.520 --> 07:40.520
科先生,您念什么?

07:42.520 --> 07:44.520
我在这里学中文.

07:47.520 --> 07:49.520
I'm studying Chinese here.

07:50.520 --> 07:52.520
Now here's the word for English.

07:53.520 --> 07:54.520
英文.

07:55.520 --> 07:56.520
英文.

07:57.520 --> 07:58.520
英文.

07:59.520 --> 08:01.520
Here's how you could find out if someone knows any English.

08:02.520 --> 08:05.520
May I ask, have you ever studied English?

08:05.520 --> 08:08.520
请问,您学过英文吗?

08:09.520 --> 08:12.520
请问,您学过英文吗?

08:13.520 --> 08:15.520
Yes. 学过.

08:15.520 --> 08:16.520
学过.

08:18.520 --> 08:20.520
In the question, the marker 过

08:20.520 --> 08:22.520
is translated by the English word ever.

08:23.520 --> 08:26.520
In a statement, however, 过 can't be translated.

08:26.520 --> 08:28.520
The literal translation of the full answer

08:28.520 --> 08:30.520
我学过 would be simply,

08:30.520 --> 08:32.520
I have studied it.

08:32.520 --> 08:34.520
Just as if the sentence were 我学了

08:34.520 --> 08:37.520
with the marker 乐 rather than 过.

08:38.520 --> 08:39.520
Here's the exchange line.

08:40.520 --> 08:43.520
请问,您学过英文吗?

08:43.520 --> 08:44.520
学过.

08:44.520 --> 08:45.520
Again.

08:46.520 --> 08:48.520
请问,您学过英文吗?

08:48.520 --> 08:49.520
学过.

08:50.520 --> 08:51.520
Check your comprehension.

08:52.520 --> 08:54.520
请问,您学过英文吗?

08:57.520 --> 08:59.520
May I ask, have you ever studied English?

08:59.520 --> 09:02.520
学过.

09:03.520 --> 09:04.520
Yes.

09:06.520 --> 09:09.520
Here's a similar question with a polite answer.

09:10.520 --> 09:12.520
May I ask, can you speak English?

09:14.520 --> 09:16.520
请问,您会说英文吗?

09:17.520 --> 09:20.520
请问,您会说英文吗?

09:21.520 --> 09:22.520
I can speak it a little.

09:23.520 --> 09:24.520
我会说一点.

09:25.520 --> 09:26.520
我会说一点.

09:26.520 --> 09:27.520
我会说一点.

09:28.520 --> 09:29.520
Here's the verb to speak.

09:30.520 --> 09:34.520
说,说,说.

09:35.520 --> 09:37.520
It can also mean to say.

09:38.520 --> 09:40.520
Here's an auxiliary verb which means can

09:40.520 --> 09:42.520
in the sense of know how to.

09:42.520 --> 09:46.520
会,会,会.

09:47.520 --> 09:49.520
It goes before the main verb.

09:49.520 --> 09:52.520
会说, to know how to speak.

09:53.520 --> 09:54.520
And here's the word for a little.

09:54.520 --> 09:55.520
一点.

09:56.520 --> 09:57.520
一点.

09:58.520 --> 09:59.520
一点.

10:00.520 --> 10:02.520
Now listen to the exchange again.

10:03.520 --> 10:05.520
May I ask, can you speak English?

10:07.520 --> 10:09.520
请问,您会说英文吗?

10:10.520 --> 10:12.520
请问,您会说英文吗?

10:13.520 --> 10:14.520
I can speak it a little.

10:15.520 --> 10:16.520
我会说一点.

10:17.520 --> 10:18.520
我会说一点.

10:18.520 --> 10:23.520
Notice the Chinese has no word for it in the answer.

10:24.520 --> 10:25.520
Here's the exchange line.

10:26.520 --> 10:28.520
请问,您会说英文吗?

10:29.520 --> 10:30.520
我会说一点.

10:31.520 --> 10:32.520
Again.

10:33.520 --> 10:34.520
请问,您会说英文吗?

10:35.520 --> 10:36.520
我会说一点.

10:37.520 --> 10:38.520
Check your comprehension.

10:39.520 --> 10:41.520
请问,您会说英文吗?

10:43.520 --> 10:45.520
May I ask, can you speak English?

10:45.520 --> 10:47.520
我会说一点.

10:50.520 --> 10:51.520
I can speak it a little.

10:53.520 --> 10:58.520
The term 中文, as we said, may refer either to the written or to the spoken language.

10:59.520 --> 11:02.520
Another common word for Chinese refers only to the spoken language.

11:03.520 --> 11:05.520
Literally, it means China's speech.

11:06.520 --> 11:07.520
Listen.

11:08.520 --> 11:09.520
中国话.

11:10.520 --> 11:11.520
中国话.

11:12.520 --> 11:13.520
中国话.

11:13.520 --> 11:15.520
Ms. Mao continues with her questions.

11:16.520 --> 11:18.520
Can your wife speak Chinese too?

11:20.520 --> 11:22.520
你太太也会说中国话吗?

11:23.520 --> 11:25.520
你太太也会说中国话吗?

11:29.520 --> 11:31.520
不会,她不会说.

11:32.520 --> 11:34.520
不会,她不会说.

11:36.520 --> 11:39.520
Notice that the short answer uses the auxiliary verb 会,

11:39.520 --> 11:43.520
can and not the main verb 说, speak.

11:43.520 --> 11:44.520
Here's the exchange line.

12:13.520 --> 12:14.520
No, she can't.

12:15.520 --> 12:18.520
Now let's say that Ms. Mao was talking to Mr. King again.

12:19.520 --> 12:21.520
They're discussing his knowledge of Chinese.

12:21.520 --> 12:22.520

12:23.520 --> 12:24.520

12:31.520 --> 12:32.520

12:32.520 --> 12:33.520
I can only speak a little.

12:33.520 --> 12:36.520
哪里,哪里,我就会说一点.

12:37.520 --> 12:40.520
哪里,哪里,我就会说一点.

12:41.520 --> 12:43.520
Here's the word we translated, not at all.

12:44.520 --> 12:48.520
哪里,哪里,哪里.

12:49.520 --> 12:51.520
Literally, 哪里 is the word for where.

12:52.520 --> 12:54.520
Here's the word for only.

12:55.520 --> 12:58.520

12:59.520 --> 13:01.520

13:30.520 --> 13:31.520
Not at all, not at all.

13:32.520 --> 13:33.520
I can only speak a little.

13:35.520 --> 13:37.520
The Chinese don't say thank you to acknowledge a compliment.

13:38.520 --> 13:40.520
Instead, they use some phrase like 哪里, not at all.

13:41.520 --> 13:43.520
To indicate that the compliment isn't really deserved.

13:45.520 --> 13:47.520
Now listen as the conversation continues.

13:48.520 --> 13:49.520
