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 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 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 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 which we know means “again.” Here it’s actually being used as part of a construction with the 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.
