            Standard. Chinese: A Modular Approach 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.

            institutions.

                Xīméndīng literally means &quot;West Gate
                dīng&quot;—dīng being a Japanese term for
                &quot;district.&quot; Xīméndīng is the area of Taipei
                which surrounds the former west gate of the city. Today
                the district includes many shops, department stores, and
                movie theaters.

                Duō, &quot;to be many/much,&quot; is an adjectival
                verb.<anchor id="footnote2" /><superscript><link linkend="bookmark84">2</link></superscript>
                There are several points to remember about duō:

                <listitem>
                  <para>
                    a. Adjectival verbs are sometimes used before a noun
                    to modify it (e.g., xīn zhuōzi, &quot;new
                    table&quot;; dà fángzi, &quot;big house&quot;).
                    However, when duō is used in this way, it must be
                    modified, for example, by hen or tài.

                    c. Often it does not occur to students to use duō as
                    the main verb of a sentence because in English they
                    do not usually say &quot;The students are
                    many.&quot; They would say &quot;There are many
                    students,&quot; with &quot;many&quot; as an
                    adjective preceding &quot;students.&quot; Compare:

                The use of shì bu shi qù rather than qù bu qu in this
                sentence implies that the speaker has an idea that the
                bus does go to Ximending and wants to make sure. (Zhèbān
                chē qù bu qu Xīméndīng? would also be correct.)

                Qù Xīméndīng, &quot;go to Ximending&quot;: The
                destination directly follows the main verb qu. You now
                know two ways to indicate destination:

                Dào Ximendíngde shíhou means when we arrive in
                Ximending.” If you want to say, in Chinese, &quot;when
                Lsomething happens!,” add -de shíhou to the phrase which
                names the happening.

                In English, &quot;when” can mean either &quot;during the

                &quot;immediately after&quot; (e.g., &quot;when the

                Xià yízhàn: Here xià means &quot;the next.&quot; It is a
                specifier. Xià is usually followed by a numeral or a
                counter, as in the following examples:

              <para>

              <para>
                The phrase xià yízhàn contains no counter because -zhàn,
                like -nián and -tiān, is not used with a counter.

                One point deserves special attention: Although you may
                say hěn duō shū for &quot;a lot of books,&quot; you may
                not say hěn shǎo shū. Hěn shǎo can rarely modify a noun
                which follows—and neither can tài shǎo, zhēn shǎo, and
                related expressions.

                stop. The expression would be translated as &quot;Out,
                please,&quot; or &quot;Getting off, getting off,&quot;

                Ya is a variant form of the marker a_. If the word
                directly preceding the a ends in a vowel, the semivowel
                y or w may be inserted; the marker is then pronounced ya
                or wa. If the word directly preceding a. ends in a
                consonant, that sound is carried forward as the initial
                sound of the marker: /(consonant sound)a/

                Zuò dao Xīdān: In earlier exchanges, phrases consisting
                of dào and a place word were placed before the main verb
                in a sentence. In this exchange, you see that dào +
                place word can also be placed after the main verb. Dao
                is toneless when it follows the verb of a sentence.

                Although spelled zānmen, this word is actually
                pronounced zámen, and in everyday conversation even as
                zām. Both women and zānmen are translated as
                &quot;we.&quot; Most speakers of Chinese outside Běijīng
                use only women.
              </para>
              <para>
                Many Chinese from Běijīng use the pronoun women only
                when the person being spoken to is not included in the
                &quot;we.&quot; To show that the person being spoken to
                IS included in the &quot;we,&quot; zānmen is used.
              </para>
              <para>
                For instance, if everyone in a room is Chinese, any one
                person could say to all of the others Zānmen dōu shi
                Zhòngguo rén, &quot;All of us are Chinese.&quot; If an
                American then entered the room, someone might say to him
                Women shi Zhòngguo ren, nǐ shi Měiguo ren, &quot;We are
                Chinese, and you are American.’*

                The phrase zài chēshang consists of the verb zài
                followed by the noun chē plus the locational ending
                -shang. Some verbs like zài must be followed by a place
                word or phrase (or by time words or phrases). But not
                all nouns which refer to things which occupy space can
                be used as place words. You must learn which words can
                function as place words and which cannot.

                Zhèr, nàr, relative location words (zuǒbianr, dōngbianr,
                wàibianr, etc.), and names of cities and countries may
                be used as place words. In general, nouns which refer to
                buildings, institutions, organizations, parks, and other
                specific locations may be used as place words. Nouns
                which refer to vehicles, people, books, furniture, and
                other things that can be moved around are NOT considered
                place words. When a noun from this group is to be used
                in a phrase with zài, either a locatiohal ending is
                added to the noun or the place word zhèr or nàr follows
                it.

                is &quot;we,&quot; ba is translated as

                indicate the result of the action—&quot;going past/too

                &quot;to cross.&quot;) The ending -guò may also be added

                Aspect marker ne: You have frequently seen an aspect
                marker used to indicate a CHANGE: completion le shows
                that an action or process has been carried out (Tā zǒu
                le, &quot;He has left&quot;); new situation le marks a
                change in the past, present, or future (Tāde dàyī pole,
                &quot;His coat is worn out&quot;). In exchange 6, the
                aspect marker ne indicates the ABSENCE OF CHANGE. In
                this exchange, ne emphasizes that there has been no
                change in the situation. You may want to think of ne as
                the opposite of le.
              </para>
              <para>
                The marker ne is used with ACTION and STATE verbs.

              <para>
                Sentences in which cái is used emphasize when something
                happened, rather than the fact that it happened.
                Therefore (shi)... -de, not le, is used to indicate
                completed action.

              <para>
                Notice that the shi in the shi...-de construction may be
                omitted. Also, cái is placed AFTER a time word or phrase
                and BEFORE the verb.

                You have learned three words for &quot;then&quot;: Jiù,
                zài, cái. Jiù is used for action taking place earlier
                than expected. Cái and zài imply that something happens
                later than expected. Cái and Jiù are used in
                descriptions of completed or future action. Zài is used
                mostly for plans, suggestions, and commands—in reference
                to future actions.

                Notice that, in the description of past events, most

              Bǎ is a prepositional verb which often cannot be directly
              translated into English. Originally, as a full verb, bǎ
              meant &quot;to hold something with one's hands.&quot;
              Today bǎ is usually used as a prepositional verb which
              brings the direct object to the front of the sentence,
              before the main verb. In some cases, bǎ may be translated
              as &quot;take.&quot;
            </para>
            <para>
              Tā bǎ zhèiběn shū fàng         He put the book on the
              table,
            </para>
            <para>
              zai zhuōzishang.              (He took the book and put it
              on
            </para>
            <para>
              the table.)
            </para>
            <para>
              But, in many cases, the meaning of &quot;take&quot; does
              not correspond to the function of bǎ in the sentence.

              Bǎ may be used with many types of objects, concrete and
              abstract. As a prepositional verb, bǎ shows that its
              object (the noun which follows) is the direct object in
              the sentence, even though it does not follow the main
              verb.

                  a. The object in a ba phrase must be a particular
                  known thing. This rule follows the general pattern in
                  Chinese of an object preceding the verb, in topic
                  position or in a bǎ phrase, being
                  specific.<anchor id="footnote7" /><superscript><link linkend="bookmark106">7</link></superscript>
                  The object in a bǎ phrase should be translated by the
                  English definite article &quot;the&quot; or by other
                  words that indicate definiteness, such as
                  &quot;that&quot; and &quot;my.&quot;

                  c. Fàng zai qiánbian: The verb in a bǎ sentence is
                  usually a transitive ACTION verb. An action verb
                  refers to an activity that can be done voluntarily,
                  either physically (mài, &quot;to sell&quot;) or
                  mentally (niàn, &quot;to study&quot;). Contrast this
                  with a state verb, which refers to a quality or
                  condition that the subject has no control over.

              For instance, you can decide to study or to learn
              something, so xué is an action verb. But you cannot decide
              to know something, so zhīdao is a state verb. Although
              some state verbs, like zhīdao and xīhuan, are transitive,
              the objects of these verbs cannot be put in a bǎ phrase
              because these verbs are not action verbs.

                  exchange 3, the action verb fang is followed by zai

            </para>
            <para>
              Notice that the main verb and direct object occur first;
              then the main verb is repeated, followed by -de and the
              description of manner. Compare the pattern above with the
              pattern you learned in the Biographic Information Module,
              Unit 8: W5 niàn Yīngwěn niànle liùnián, &quot;I studied
              English for six years.&quot;
            </para>
            <para>
              The main verb is repeated when BOTH the direct object and
              a duration phrase or a description of manner MUST follow
              the verb directly. In such a case, Chinese handles this
              post-verb &quot;traffic jam&quot; by making a topic out of
              the more general information (what is being done): the
              verb and direct object. The more specific information
              about how the action is done becomes the comment. A
              literal translation of the pattern example above is
              &quot;As for (the way) he speaks Chinese, (he) speaks
              too/very/not slowly.&quot;
            </para>
            <para>
              A special point to observe: In English, we may say
              &quot;He doesn’t speak Chinese slowly,&quot; putting the
              negative word before &quot;speak.&quot; In Chinese, the
              negation must be placed directly in front of the word that
              is referred to (in the example, man, &quot;slow&quot;—not
              saying that he doesn’t speak, but saying that his speech
              is not slow).

              Linguists have pointed out the potentially comical effect

              fact that) I can’t speak Chinese is very good.&quot; The
              right way to say &quot;I can't speak Chinese very

              verb. In this sentence, however, the adjectival verb man +
              yìdiǎn precede the verb kāi. When the adjectival verbs
              man, kuài, zǎo, and wǎn are followed by yìdiǎn, the
              phrases thus formed may either precede or follow the verb

              Yíxià, &quot;awhile,&quot; is used to indicate a short,
              indefinite amount of time. The use of this word
              communicates indefiniteness, Just as reduplicating the
              verb would have done (tíngyitíng). The first speaker in
              this exchange does not commit himself to an exact length
              of time.

                Gōnglùjú, &quot;the Bureau of Highways&quot; in Taiwan,
                is the agency which administers the island’s intercity
                bus system. The phrase zuò Gōnglùjú means &quot;to take
                a Bureau of Highways bus.&quot; This phrasing is
                analogous to &quot;I’m going by Greyhound.&quot; In
                talking about the buses themselves, you would have to
                say Gōnglùjúde chē, &quot;the buses of the Bureau of

                a prepositional phrase expressing means of conveyance
                (zuò...).However, if the destination is being stressed,
                the dào phrase may be placed at the beginning of the
                sentence, in the topic position. (See the second

                translated with an &quot;if&quot; in English. Literally,
                the Chinese sentence is &quot;Take the bus, also have to

                &quot;if&quot; part of the sentence is a kind of topic
                in Chinese, providing the setting for the second part of
                the sentence. In Chinese, the setting or condition can
                often be put in the topic position. In English, a
                particular word must be used to clarify the relationship
                of the first part of the sentence to the second part.

            <para>
              Kāi and fǎ chē: When referring to trains, the verb kāi,
              &quot;to start,&quot; means &quot;to start off&quot; or
              &quot;to leave.&quot; The technical term fā chē, &quot;to
              send out the train,&quot; is used in reference to a train
              which is departing from the terminal at the beginning of a
              trip, or line.

            </para>
            <para>
              Bǎ nīde hùzhào...: The prepositional verb bǎ points out
              the direct objects (passport and travel permit) and brings
              those objects to the beginning of the sentence, preceding
              the main verb. Without this construction, a &quot;traffic
              Jam&quot; of sentence elements would follow that verb.

              Verb reduplication: In Unit 3 of the Money Module, you
              learned that reduplication is one way to indicate ASPECT,
              although markers are more common. INDEFINITENESS is the
              aspect expressed when an action verb is reduplicated. The
              speaker does not commit himself to the duration or extent
              of the action.

              listener to &quot;rest a bit.&quot; Instead of using
              additional words to indicate a short duration, the speaker
              reduplicates the verb, xiūxi, expressing some duration,
              but of no particular limit.

              New-situation le: The aspect marker le for new situations
              occurs in the first two sentences of No. 7- In Xià yízhàn
              jiù shi Shànghǎi le, the speaker uses le to communicate a
              change in the circumstances: after passing through many
              stations, Shànghǎi will finally be the next station.
            </para>
            <para>
              When a speaker uses le, he is saying that something has
              changed in reference to him or in reference to the
              listener. In the first sentence in No. 7, Shànghǎi itself
              has not changed, but what constitutes the &quot;next
              station&quot; for the speaker and the listener has
              changed.
            </para>
            <para>
              In Kuài yào dào zhàn le, new-situation le marks a change
              which is about to take place—their arrival. Here are
              examples of references to future changes:

            <para>
              Many speakers of English have trouble with new-situation
              le because they would not think of using it when the
              Chinese do. Take note of situations which the Chinese
              consider to be changes, and try to use new-situation le in
              your speech.

            <para>
              The greeting zěnmeyàng is more informal than nǐ hǎo a.
              Zěnmeyàng is used only if the two people already know each
              other.
            </para>
            <para>
              Mang ne? and Mang ma? are translated into English as ’’Are
              you busy?” However, the two Chinese questions are not
              interchangeable. When a speaker asks the question Mang ma?
              he really wants to find out whether someone is busy. On
              the other hand, Mang ne? is an example of the Chinese
              custom of greeting a person by stating the obvious. The
              speaker is simply acknowledging the fact that the listener
              is busy. The question mark following Mang ne? shows that
              the speaker is inviting the listener to comment. You might
              think of Máng ne? as something like the English
              &quot;Well, it looks like you are working hard,” which
              invites a response like &quot;Sure am” or &quot;Oh, I’m
              really not doing much of anything.&quot;
            </para>
            <para>
              Ne may be used in many sentences to comment on what the
              person being addressed is doing at the moment:
            </para>
            <para>
              Chi fàn ne?                Having dinner, I see?
            </para>
            <para>
              Zài zhèr ne?               Well, you’re here?
            </para>
            <para>
              Mǎi dōngxi ne?             Doing some shopping, eh?
            </para>
            <para>
              These sentences are almost greetings in themselves.
            </para>
            <para>
              The overall intonation of the question Mang ma? is higher
              than that of a statement. The intonation of Mang ne? is
              somewhat lower. Listen carefully to the tape.

              Dìnghǎo is a compound verb of result. When used as the
              final element in a compound verb of result, hǎo indicates
              that the action described by the initial verb has been
              brought to a successful conclusion.

              Hǎo jiǔ, ’’very long”: In this phrase, the word hǎo means
              ’’very.” Some additional examples of this use of hǎo are

              Persons from Taiwan frequently use hǎo, ’’very,” before
              another hǎo, as in Hǎo hǎowǎn! &quot;What fun!” and Hǎo
              hǎochī! &quot;Delicious!” Speakers from Bǎijīng think that
              this repetition of hǎo sounds bad.

            <para>
              Gang, &quot;only a short while ago,&quot;
              &quot;Just&quot;: The first sentence in the exchange could
              also be translated as &quot;Why, having just come back
              from there, did you go again?&quot;
            </para>
            <para>
              The adverb gang is used in sentences describing something
              that has just been done, in other words, completed action.
              But notice that the marker le for completion is not used
              here. The marker le is added when the focus is on whether
              or not the action has been performed, not on when or how
              it was performed. Gang is often used in sentences
              emphasizing the recentness of an action, not the fact that
              it was done; therefore le is not used.

              The meaning of huílai is not as broad, as that of the
              English translation &quot;to come back,” which has two
              meanings: 1) to come from someplace else to the original
              place (”He leaves for work at eight and doesn’t come back
              till six.”) and 2) to come another time (&quot;Mr. Wang
              isn’t in today; come back tomorrow.&quot;) Huílai means
              &quot;to return to a particular place.&quot; To say
              &quot;to come another time&quot; in Chinese, you would use
              an adverb meaning &quot;again&quot; and the verb lái. For
              example,

              indicate a question, but does give an added ring of
              inquisitiveness to the sentence. Questions ending in ne
              often seem to be asking for definite answers.

              The phrase hěn hǎode péngyou contains the marker of
              modification -de. The modifying phrase ADVERB + ADJECTIVAL
              VERB (e.g., zuì xiǎo, tài gāo) is followed by -de.
              Therefore hǎo péngyou does not need -de, but hěn hǎode
              péngyou does.

              cannot be used here because it is the negative of
              completed action. The verb zhīdao, like the verb you and
              adjectival verbs such as hǎo, is a state verb and cannot

            </para>
            <para>
              Since the negative of a state verb is the same in the

              discovered from the context. One reason for using nèige

              English-speaking students of Chinese are often tempted to
              translate &quot;if&quot; as rúguō or yàoshi; to do so,
              however, is wrong. The following rule may help you
              remember to use a choice-type question: Whenever the
              &quot;if&quot; in an English sentence means
              &quot;whether,&quot; use a choice-type question in
              Chinese. For example, &quot;I would like to know if they
              are coming&quot; means &quot;I would like to know whether
              they are coming&quot;; therefore, in Chinese, you would
              use a choice-type question as the object of the verb
              zhidao.

            <para>
              Nīmen dōu qùguo shenme dìfang? is ambiguous. It could mean
              either &quot;What places did all of you go to?&quot; or
              &quot;What are all the places that you went to?&quot;
            </para>
            <para>
              You already know that dōu may refer to an object when that
              object precedes the verb, in topic position. (See the
              second sentence in exchange 5.)
            </para>
            <para>
              In this first sentence of the exchange, dōu is referring
              to an object which occurs after the verb. When an object
              includes a question word, it is not placed before dōu in
              the sentence.

              The adverb zài means ’’again” in talking about actions
              that have not been completed. (This adverb was translated

              In Chinese sentences expressing cause and result, the
              pattern yinwei... suoyi... is preferred. English speakers
              often find difficulty in using this pattern because it
              sounds unnatural in English to say &quot;Because I was
              very busy, so I didn’t go.&quot; In English, either
              &quot;because&quot; or &quot;so&quot; would be omitted;
              but, in Chinese, both yīnwei and suoyi are often retained.
