Listen to lesson:
Kirin: 上网学中文第一百六十六课.
大家好,我是 Kirin.
Raphael: 大家好,我是 Raphael.
Adam: And hello, I’m Adam.
Kirin: 欢迎来到台湾跟我们一起学习更进一步的中文课程. 我们今天要学的是什么呢?
Raphael: 今天我们要听的是一个老师跟一个学生的对话. 让我们先听一次今天正常语速的对话.
Yann: 你为什么没有写你的功课?
Cindy: 有一些字我不会写.
Yann: 那你可以用字典啊.
Cindy: 我知道,可是我昨天忘记把字典带回家.
Yann: 好,你先用拼音把答案写下来,等下课后,再把功课交给我.
Raphael: 让我们再听一次今天慢语速的对话. 请跟着 Kirin 重复说一遍.
Kirin: 你为什么没有写你的功课?
有一些字我不会写.
那你可以用字典啊.
我知道.
可是我昨天忘记把字典带回家.
好,你先用拼音把答案写下来.
等下课后.
再把功课交给我.
Raphael: 让我们来解释今天的对话. 第一句是
Kirin: 你为什么没有写你的功课?
Raphael: 你们记得 功课 是什么意思吗?
Adam: That means “homework.”
Raphael: 所以这个问题是什么意思?
Kirin: 你为什么没有写你的功课?
Adam: The literal meaning is “You why not have write your homework” which becomes “How come you haven’t done your homework?”
Kirin: 你为什么没有写你的功课?
Raphael: 然后这个学生回答
Kirin: 有一些字我不会写.
Raphael: 这些单字我们已经都学过了.
Adam: The literal meaning here is “Have some characters I can’t write” as in “There are some characters that I don’t know how to write.”
Kirin: 有一些字我不会写.
Raphael: 我们很常在中国的学校里面听到这个句子. 因为学生必须要学的中文字太多了,所以有些比较难写的字,他们会常常忘记.
Kirin: 有一些字我不会写.
Raphael: 然后这个老师说
Kirin: 那你可以用字典啊.
Raphael: 今天的第一个生字是
Kirin: 字典.
Adam: And that means “dictionary.”
Raphael: 如果学生不会写一个字,他可以用字典. 字典会很清楚告诉他那个字是什么意思,而且怎么写. 如果学生要知道一个生字的意思,他可以用
Kirin: 字典.
Adam: So back to our conversation
Kirin: 那你可以用字典啊.
Adam: “So you can use a dictionary.”
Raphael: 然后这个学生说
Kirin: 我知道,可是我昨天忘记把字典带回家.
Raphael: 以前我们教过你们 忘 这个字. 你们还记得 忘 是什么意思吗?
Adam: That means “to forget.”
Raphael: 这里我们看到
Kirin: 忘记.
Raphael: 是 忘,跟 记得 的记.
Adam: So that literally means “forget to remember.”
Kirin: 我知道,可是我昨天忘记把字典带回家.
Raphael: 你们记得 把 是什么意思吗?
Adam: That means “to hold” or “to grasp.”
Raphael: 那 带 是什么意思呢?
Adam: That’s the verb “to bring” so that gives us a literal meaning of “I know but I yesterday forgot to grasp dictionary take go home” which becomes “I know, but I forgot to take my dictionary home yesterday.”
Kirin: 我知道,可是我昨天忘记把字典带回家.
Raphael: 然后这个老师说
Kirin: 好,你先用拼音把答案写下来.
Raphael: 今天的下一个生字是
Kirin: 答案.
Adam: And that means “answer.” Note that this is the noun form of “answer.” Do you remember the verb “to answer” that we taught you before?
Kirin: 回答.
Adam: So back to our dialogue we have
Kirin: 好,你先用拼音把答案写下来.
Adam: which literally gives us “Ok, you first use pinyin grasp answer write down come.” Note how 把 is being used metaphorically here to put the answer down on paper. And at the end of the sentence we have 写下来 which means “to write down.”
Kirin: 好,你先用拼音把答案写下来.
Adam: “Ok, first use pinyin to write your answer down.”
Raphael: 然后他继续说
Kirin: 等下课后,再把功课交给我.
Raphael: 等 是什么意思?
Adam: That means “wait.” “Wait Until when?”
Kirin: 下课后.
Raphael: 下课 是什么意思?
Adam: That means “to finish class.” The 后 here means “after,” giving us “after class ends.”
Kirin: 等下课后,再把功课交给我.
Adam: There are a couple of characters worth looking at here. We’ll start with 交 at the end which we saw recently can be used to make friends.
Kirin: 交朋友.
Adam: Here it has a completely different meaning of to “hand in” or “deliver something”, which in this case is the homework to the teacher.
Kirin: 等下课后,再把功课交给我.
Adam: The other character in there worth looking at is 再 which we know means “again.” Here it’s actually being used as part of a construction with the 先 from the previous sentence. Together they form the construct of you first do something then do something else.
Kirin: 你先做什么,再做什么.
Adam: So in our example here we had
Kirin: 你先用拼音把答案写下来, 等下课后,再把功课交给我.
Adam: “First use pinyin to write down your answer, then after class hand in your homework to me.”
Raphael: 让我们再听一次今天正常语速的对话.
Yann: 你为什么没有写你的功课?
Cindy: 有一些字我不会写.
Yann: 那你可以用字典啊.
Cindy: 我知道,可是我昨天忘记把字典带回家.
Yann: 好,你先用拼音把答案写下来,等下课后,再把功课交给我.
