The Integrated Chinese Series

The Integrated Chinese series is a two-year course that includes textbooks, workbooks, character workbooks, audio CDs,
CD-ROMs, DVDs, teacher resources, and online supplements.

Textbooks introduce Chinese language and culture through a series of dialogues and narratives, with culture notes, language use
and grammar explanations, and language practice.

Workbooks follow the format of the textbooks and contain a wide range of integrated activities that teach the four language
skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Character Workbooks help students learn Chinese characters in their correct stroke order. Special emphasis is placed on the
radicals that are frequently used to compose Chinese characters.

Audio CDs include the narratives, dialogues, and vocabulary presented in the textbooks, as well as pronunciation and listening
exercises that correspond to the workbooks.

• Each set of audio CDs contains a product key code, which allows students to access online bonus tracks to supplement
the series.

Teacher’s Resources to help teachers make the most of the Integrated Chinese series are being developed all the time. Please
contact us for answer keys or visit my.cheng-tsui.com for the latest resources and supplements to use in your classroom.

Multimedia CD-ROMs for Level 1 Part 1 are divided into sections of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and feature a
variety of supplemental interactive games and activities for students to test their skills and get instant feedback.

Workbook DVD shows listening comprehension dialogues from the Level 1 Part 1 Workbook, presented in contemporary
settings in color video format.

We offer many additional publications developed to complement the Integrated Chinese series. Please see page xii for more
information about resources covering many language skills, from learning vocabulary to practicing listening comprehension to
reading about Chinese literature and culture.

Publisher's Note

When Integrated Chinese was first published in 1997， it set a new standard with its focus on the
development and integration of the four language skills (listening， speaking, reading， and writing). Today，
to further enrich the learning experience of the many users of Integrated Chinese worldwide, Cheng &
Tsui is pleased to offer this revised and updated third edition of Integrated Chinese. We would like to
thank the many teachers and students who， by offering their valuable insights and suggestions, have

Preface to the Third Edition

$:3

— 二„1^

It has been over ten years since Integrated Chinese (IC) came into existence in
1997. During these years, amid all the historical changes that took place in China
and the rest of the world, the demand for Chinese language teaching-learning
materials has been growing dramatically. We are greatly encouraged by the fact
that IC not only has been a widely used textbook at the college level all over the
United States and beyond, but also has become increasingly popular with advanced
language students at high schools. Over the years, regular feedback from the users
of 1C， both students and teachers, has greatly facilitated our repeated revisions of
the series. Following its second edition published in 2005 that featured relatively
minor changes and adjustments, the third edition is the result of a much more
extensive revision.

Changes in the Third Edition

Manageable Number of Lessons

Level 1 now contains 10 lessons in Part 1 and 10 lessons in Part 2 for maximum
flexibility. Based on the reports from many teachers that they could not finish all
the lessons in the Level 1 volumes within one academic year, we have, for the third
edition, eliminated the chapters “At the Library” and “At the Post Office,” as the
language contents in these chapters have become somewhat obsolete. The chapter
“Hometown” has also been removed, but part of its content has been incorporated
into other chapters.

Revised Storyline

In the present edition, a new, connected storyline about a diverse group of students
strings together all the dialogues and narratives in the lessons throughout Level 1.
The relationships among the main characters are more carefully scripted. We want
the students to get to know the characters well and to find out how things develop
among them. We hope that, by getting to know more about each cast member, the
students will be more involved in the process of learning the language.

Current Vocabulary

As in the earlier editions, the third edition makes a special effort to reflect students’
life. Additionally, we have updated some of the vocabulary items and expressions
in the hope of keeping pace with the evolution of contemporary Chinese and
enhancing students’ ability to communicate. In the meantime, we have deleted
some words and expressions that are of relatively lower frequencies of usage. As a
result, the total number of vocabulary items for the series is moderately reduced.
The grammar sequence, however, remains fundamentally unchanged.

Clear Learning Objectives and Engaging Learner-Centered Approach

Ever since its inception in 1997, IC has been a communication-oriented
language textbook which also aims at laying a solid foundation in language
form and accuracy for students. The third edition holds fast to that pedagogic

xiv

Preface

philosophy. On top of that, it has adopted a task-based teaching approach, which
is intended to intensify students’ motivation and heighten their awareness of the
learning objectives in each chapter. Each lesson includes Learning Objectives
and Relate and Get Ready questions at the beginning to focus students’ study.
At the end of each lesson, there is a Progress Checklist to be used by students in
self-testing their fulfillment of the learning objectives.

It is our hope that these changes will enable students to learn Chinese in a more
efficient and pragmatic way and develop their language proficiency and problem¬
solving abilities in real-life situations. In their feedback to us, many users of previous
editions of IC noted that, more than many other Chinese language textbooks, IC
was effective in developing students’ abilities to use the language. While making
all the efforts to retain that merit in the new edition， we have endeavored to place
language acquisition in a real-world context and make IC all the more conducive
to active use of the language in the classroom and， more importantly, beyond it.

Contextualized Grammar and Interactive Language Practice

The somewhat mechanical drills on sentence patterns in the earlier editions are
now replaced by Language Practice exercises based on simulated real-life situations.
In particular， we have increased the number of interactive exercises and exercises
that serve the purpose of training students’ abilities in oral communication and
discourse formation. Similar changes are also to be seen in the Integrated Chinese
workbook， which offers new exercises that are more distinctly communication-
oriented and more closely aligned with the learning objectives of each chapter.
The exercises in the workbook cover the three modes of communication as
explained in the “Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century”：
interpretive, interpersonal and presentational. To help the user locate different
types of exercises, we have labeled the workbook exercises in terms of the three
communication modes.

Linguistically and Thematically Appropriate Cultural Information and
Authentic Materials

In comparison with the earlier editions， there is more cultural information in the
third edition. The revised texts provide a broader perspective on Chinese culture，
and important cultural features and topics are discussed in the “ Culture Highlights. ”
In the meantime， more up-to-date language ingredients, such as authentic linguistic
materials, new realia, and new illustrations, are introduced with a view towards
reflecting cultural life in the dynamic and rapidly changing contemporary China.
We believe that language is a carrier of culture and a second/foreign language is
acquired most efficiently in its native cultural setting. Based on that conviction,
we have attempted to offer both linguistic and cultural information in a coherent,
consistent manner and simulate a Chinese cultural environment in our texts，
especially those that are set in China.

All-New, Colorful, and User-Friendly Design

Where design and layout are concerned, the third edition represents a significant
improvement. We have taken full advantage of colors to highlight different
components of each chapter， and have brought in brand-new illustrations and
photos to complement the content of the text. The book has also been thoroughly
redesigned for optimal ease of use.

Preface

Updated Audio Recordings

Throughout this book, an audio CD icon appears next to the main texts,
vocabulary， and pronunciation exercises. This symbol indicates the presence of
audio recordings， which are available on the companion audio CD set.

Acknowledgments

During the course of preparing for the third edition, we accumulated more academic
and intellectual debts than any acknowledgment can possibly repay. We wish to
express our deep gratitude to all those who helped us in so many different ways. In
particular, our heartfelt thanks go to the editor, Professor Zheng-sheng Zhang of
San Diego State University; colleagues and friends at Beijing Language and Culture
University; and Ms. Laurel Damashek at Cheng & Tsui.

As authors， we take great pleasure in the contributions that 1C has made
to Chinese teaching and learning over the past ten years， and we also feel the
weight of responsibility. In retrospect， IC has traversed a long way since its earliest
incarnation， yet we know its improvement will not end with the present edition.
We promise to renew our efforts in the future, and we expect to continue to benefit
from the invaluable comments and suggestions we receive from the users.

^ LEARNING OBJECTIVES

In this lesson, you will learn to use Chine 嫡

• Name some popular sports;

• Talk about your exercise habits;

• Discuss your feelings about various sports;

• Make a simple comparison between Kow soccer and American
football are played.

PRELATE AND GET READY

In your own culture/communiry-

1. Do people exercise regularly?

2. Are most people sports fans? Which sports are most popular?

3. Are there many sports programs on TV?

4. Which is more popular, American football or soccer?

Learning Objectives for every
lesson help students focus their
study and envision what they
will have accomplished at the
end of the lesson.

The self-reflective questions
in Relate and Get Ready help
students to reflect on similarities
and differences between their
native language and culture and
Chinese language and culture.

XVI Preface

Dialogue Design

Each dialogue or narrative begins with
an illustration depicting the scene.

For the main characters， instead of the
characters’ names， their avatar icons
appear in the dialogue. This helps the
students get acquainted with the
characters more quickly.

Language Notes and Grammar Callouts

LANGUAGE NOTES > 一

❶ Apart from 过 生 一
(guo shengri, to celebrate
one's birthday), the verb 过
(guo, to live [a life]; to observe
[a holiday]; to celebrate [a
festival]) appears in many
other expressions such as
过年 (guo nian, to celebrate
the New Year), 过节 (guo jie,
to celebrate a festival), and
过日 子 (gu6 rizi.to live
one’s life; to live from day to day).

The Language Notes are clearly marked
and numbered in green circles, and placed
next to the dialogue for ease of reference.
The grammar points are highlighted and

Preface XVII

Customized Learning: How About You?

Beginning students need not be
overwhelmed by additional vocabulary
items that do not seem to be very useful
or relevant to them. However, they
should be given opportunities to select
and learn words and phrases that relate
to their own interests and experiences.
How About You? provides this
personalized vocabulary space.

Culture Highlights

❹ Seeing movies is part of the nightlife in Chinese cities, especially
for people going out on dates. Meanwhile, Peking (Beijing) opera

accompany the culture notes.

Self-Reflection: Progress Checklist

It’s important for students to feel engaged
and responsible for their own learning.

At the end of each lesson, students are
asked to check on their learning progress
and evaluate whether they have achieved
the learning objectives.

PROGRESS CHECKLIST

Before proceeding to Lesson 12, be sure you can complete the following
tasks in Chinese:

一 .： Provide a simple description of the weather；

一 Describe the climate in the place where I live；

: __ ； Describe basic weather changes;

:」 Compare the weather in two places;

Functional Expressions: That’s How the Chinese Say It!

Chinese Say It provides a review of the
functional expressions that have appeared
in the texts. It includes additional
linguistic and cultural contexts to
demonstrate the use of these expressions.

XViii Preface to the Second Edition

Preface to the Second Edition

The Integrated Chinese series is an acclaimed, best-selling introductory course in
Mandarin Chinese. With its holistic， integrated focus on the four language skills
of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, it teaches all the basics beginning
and intermediate students need to function in Chinese. Integrated Chinese helps
students understand how the Chinese language works grammatically, and how to
use Chinese in real life. 、 ^

The Chinese title of Integrated Chinese, which is simply 中 文听 说读写
{Zhongwen Ting Shud Du Xie)^ reflects our belief that a healthy language program
should be a well-balanced one. To ensure that students will be strong in all skills,
and because we believe that each of the four skills needs special training, the
exercises in the Integrated Chinese Workbooks are divided into four sections of
listening, speaking， reading， and writing. Within each section, there are two types
of exercises， namely， traditional exercises (such as fill-in-the-blank, sentence
completion， translation, etc.) to help students build a solid foundation, and
communication-oriented exercises to prepare students to face the real world.

How Integrated Chinese Has Evolved

Integrated Chinese (IC) began in 1993 as a set of course materials for beginning
and intermediate Chinese courses taught at the East Asian Summer Language
Institute’s Chinese School at Indiana University. Since that time, it has become a
widely used series of Chinese language textbooks in the United States and beyond.
Teachers and students appreciate the fact that 1C， with its focus on practical，
everyday topics and its numerous and varied exercises, helps learners build a solid
foundation in the Chinese language.

What’s New in the Second Edition

Thanks to all those who have used Integrated Chinese and given us the benefit of
their suggestions and comments, we have been able to produce a second edition
that includes the following improvements:

▲ Typographical errors present in the first edition have been corrected, and the
content has been carefully edited to ensure accuracy and minimize errors.

▲ The design has been revised and improved for easier use, and the Textbooks
feature two colors.

▲ Revised illustrations and new photos provide the reader with visual images
and relevant cultural information.

▲ Many new culture notes and examples of functional expressions have been
added.

▲ Grammar and phonetics explanations have been rewritten in more student-
friendly language.

▲ Workbook listening and reading sections have been revised.

▲ A new flexibility for the teaching of characters is offered. While we believe
that students should learn to read all of the characters introduced in the

Preface to the Second Edition

xxi

Links to resources that show how to write Chinese characters, provide

vocabulary practice, and more.

Piny in supplements for all Integrated Chinese books. Especially useful for

Chinese programs that do not teach Chinese characters.

Teacher’s resources.

About the Format

Considering that many teachers might want to teach their students how to speak
the language before teaching them how to read Chinese characters, we decided to
place the piny in text before the Chinese-character text in each of the eleven lessons
of the Level 1 Part 1 Textbook.

Since piny in is only a vehicle to help students learn the pronunciation of the
Chinese language and is not a replacement for the Chinese writing system， it is
important that students can read out loud in Chinese by looking at the Chinese
text and not just the piny in text. To train students to deal with the Chinese text
directly without relying on piny in， we moved the piny in text to the end of each
lesson in the Level 1 Part 2 Textbook. Students can refer to the piny in text to verify
a sound when necessary.

We are fully aware of the fact that no two Chinese language programs are
identical and that each program has its own requirements. Some schools will cover
a lot of material in one year while some others will cover considerably less. Trying
to meet the needs of as many schools as possible， we decided to cover a wide range
of material， both in terms of vocabulary and grammar， in Integrated Chinese. To
facilitate oral practice and to allow students to communicate in real-life situations,
many supplementary vocabulary items are added to each lesson. However, the
characters in the supplementary vocabulary sections are not included in the
Character Workbooks. In the Character Workbooks， each of the characters is
given a frequency indicator based on the Hanyu Pfnlu Da Cidian ( 汉 语频率 大辞
興). Teachers can decide for themselves which characters must be learned.

Acknowledgments

Since publication of the first edition of Integrated Chinese, in 1997, many teachers
and students have given us helpful comments and suggestions. We cannot list all
of these individuals here, but we would like to reiterate our genuine appreciation
for their help. We do wish to recognize the following individuals who have made
recent contributions to the Integrated Chinese revision. We are indebted to Tim
Richardson， Jeffrey Hayden， Ying Wang and Xianmin Liu for field-testing the new
edition and sending us their comments and corrections. We would also like to
thank Chengzhi Chu for letting us try out his “Chinese TA，” a computer program
designed for Chinese teachers to create and edit teaching materials. This software
saved us many hours of work during the revision. Last， but not least, we want to
thank Jim Dew for his superb professional editorial job, which enhanced both the
content and the style of the new edition.

As much as we would like to eradicate all errors in the new edition， some
will undoubtedly remain, so please continue to send your comments and corrections
to editor@cheng-tsui.com, and accept our sincere thanks for your help.

Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

Grammar

1. Comparative Sentences with 比 (bi) (I)

Specific comparison of two entities is usually expressed with the basic pattern

A + 比 (bT) + B + Adj

❶ 李友 比她大 姐高。

LT You bi ta dajie gao.

(Li You is taller than her oldest sister.)

❷ 今 天比昨 天冷。

JTntian bi zuotian leng.

(Today is colder than yesterday.)

❸ 第 十课的 语法比 第九课 的语法 容易。

I— v ' I V I v lx . . v I ' I V 广 v r 、

Di shi ke de yufa bi di jiu ke de yufa rongyi.

(Lesson Ten’s grammar is easier than Lesson Nine’s grammar.)

There are two ways in which the basic comparative construction may be further
modified: a) by adding a modifying expression after the adjective:

A + 比 (b7) + B + Adj + 一 点儿 / 得 多 / 多了 （yi dianr/de duo/duo le)

O 今天比 昨天冷 一点。

JTntian bT zuotian leng yi dian.

(Today is a bit colder than yesterday.)

(4a) *今 天比昨 天一点 儿冷。

*JTntian bi zuotian yi dianr leng.

❺ 明 天会比 今天冷 得多。

Mingtian hui bT jlntian leng de duo.

(Tomorrow will be much colder than today.)

Lesson 11* Talking about the Weather

❻ 纽约 比这儿 冷多了 / 冷得 多。

Niuyue bT zher leng duo le/leng de duo.

(New York is much colder than here.)

Note that the modifying expression must be placed after the adjective, not before it.

(6a) * 纽约 比这儿 很冷。

*Niuyue bl zher hen leng.

“Much colder” is 冷多了 (leng du6 le) or 冷得多 (leng de duo), not 4 艮冷
(hen leng, very cold).

b) by adding the adverb 更 (geng) or the adverb (hai) in front of the adjective:

A + 比 (bT) + B + 更 / 还 (geng/hai) + Adj

❼ 昨 天冷， 今 天比昨 天更冷 / 今天 比昨天 还冷。

Zuotian leng, jlntian bT zuotian geng leng/jlntian bT zuotian hai leng.
(Yesterday was cold. Today is even colder than yesterday.)

跟 (gen) and ^ (he)

can be used in another type of comparative sentence:

A 跟 / B (不） 一样 + Adj (A gen/he B {bu} yiyang + Adj)

However, unlike a comparative sentence with 比 (bT)， a comparative sentence with
跟 (gen) or 牙口 (he) only indicates whether two things or persons exhibit the same
degree of an attribute, without specifying which of the two exhibits it to a greater
or lesser degree.

Compare (8a) with (8b) and (8c) with (8d).

©a: 这 个教室 和那个 教室一 样大。

Zhe ge jiaosh'i he na ge jiaoshi yiyang da.

(This classroom and that classroom are the same size.)

b: 这个 教室跟 那个教 室不一 样大。

Zhe ge jiaoshi gen na ge jiaoshi bu yiyang da.

(This classroom and that classroom are not the same size.)

C： 这个 教室比 那个教 室大。

Zhe ge jiaoshi bT na ge jiaoshi da.

(This classroom is larger than that classroom.)

Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

d： 这 个教室 比那个 教室大 得多。

Zhe ge jiaoshi bT na ge jiaoshi da de duo.

(This classroom is much larger than that classroom.)

r ^

2. The Particle T (ie)(lll): 了 as a Sentence-Final Particle

[See also Grammar 5 in Lesson 5 and Grammar 5 in Lesson 8.]

V _ J

When 了 (le) occurs at the end of a sentence， it usually indicates a change of status
or the realization of a new situation.

❶ 下 雪了。

Xia xue le.

(It’s snowing now.)

❷ 妹妹 累了。

Meimei lei le.

(My sister has become tired.)

❸ 我昨 天没有 空儿， 今 天有空 儿了。

Wo zuotian meiyou kongr, jlntian you kongr le.

(I didn’t have time yesterday, but I do today.)

O 你看， 公 共汽车 来了。

NT kan, gonggong q'iche lai le.

(Look， the bus is here.)

When used in this sense， 了 (le) can still be used at the end of a sentence even if the
sentence is in the negative.

❺ 我没 有钱了 ，不 买了。

Wo meiyou qian le, bu mai le.

(I don’t have any money [left]. I won’t buy it anymore.)

Remember that to negate 有 (you, to have), one uses 没 (m4i), not 不 (bCi).

Lesson 11 • Talking about the Weather

3. The Modal Verb 会 (hm, will) (II)

[See also Grammar 9 in Lesson 8.]

云 （hu)) indicates an anticipated event or action.

❶ 白老 师现在 不在办 公室， 可是 他明天 会在。

Bai laoshl xianzai bu zai bangongshi, keshi ta mingtian hui zai.

(Teacher Bai is not in the office now， but he will be tomorrow.)

©A: 你 明年做 什么？

NT mfngnian zuo shenme?

(What will you do next year?)

b： 我明 年会去 英国学 英文。

Wo mingnian hui qu YTngguo xue YTngwen.

(I’ll go to Britain to learn English next year.)

❸ 他说他 晚上会 给你发 短信。

Ta shuo ta wanshang hui gei m fa duanxin.

(He said he will send you a text message this evening.)

The negative form of (hui) is 不^ " (bCi hui):

o 小王 觉得不 舒服， 今天不 会来滑 冰了。

Xiao Wang juede bu shufu, jlntian bu hui lai hua blng le.

(Little Wang is not feeling well. He won’t come ice skating today after all.)

Ta zhe jT tian tebie mang, wanshang bu hui qu ting ylnyuehui.

(She is very busy these days. She won’t be going to the concert tonight.)

❻ 天气 预报说 这个周 末不会 下雪。

Tianqi yubao shuo zhe ge zhoumo bu hui xia xue.

(The weather forecast says that it won’t snow this weekend.)

Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

4. Adj+( ) 点 JLt ({yU dianr)

V _ /

The expression ( ^ 0 点儿 ({yi} dianr) can be placed after an adjective to indicate
slight qualification. 一^ (yi) is optional.

❶ 前几天 我很不 高兴， 昨天 考试考 得很好 ，我
高兴点 儿了。

Qian jT tian wo hen bu gaoxing, zuotian kao shi kao de hen hao, wo gaoxlng
dianr le.

(I was very unhappy a few days ago. I did very well on the exam yesterday.

I am a little bit happier now.)

❷ 我妹妹 比我姐 姐高一 点儿。

Wo meimei bT wo jiejie gao yi dianr.

(My younger sister is a bit taller than my older sister.)

❸ 你得快 点儿， 看 电影要 晚了。

NT dei kuai dianr, kan dianyTng yao wan le.

(You’d better pick up the pace a bit, or you’ll be late for the movie.)

O 今天比 昨天冷 点儿。

JTntian bT zuotian leng dianr.

(Today is a bit colder than yesterday.)

❺ 老师， 请您 说话说 得慢一 点儿。

Laos hi, qmg nin shuo hua shuo de man yi dianr.

(Teacher, would you please speak a little bit more slowly?)

( * 一 ) 点儿 （y】 dianr) does not precede the adjective. The following sentences are
therefore incorrect:

(2a) * 我妹妹 比我姐 姐一点 儿高。

*Wo meimei bT wo jiejie yi dianr gao.

(4a) *今 夭比昨 夭一点 儿冷。

*JTntian bT zuotian yi dianr leng,

(5a) * 老师， 请您 说话说 得一点 儿慢。

* Laos hi, qTng nfn shuo hua shuo de yl dianr man.

5. The Adverb 又 (you, again)

v _ /

又 (you, again) indicates recurrence of an action.

❶ 昨 天早上 下雪， 今天早 上又下 雪了。

Zuotian zaoshang xia xue, jTntian zaoshang you xia xue le.

(It snowed yesterday morning. It snowed again this morning.)

❷ 妈妈上 个星期 给我打 电话， 这 个星期 又给我

打电 话了。

Mama shang ge xlngql gei wo da dianhua, zhe ge xTngqT you gei wo da
dianhua le.

(My mom called me last weekend. She called me again this weekend.)

❸ 他昨天 复习了 第八课 的语法 ，今 天又复 习了。

Ta zuotian fuxi le di ba ke de yufa, jTntian you fuxi le.

(He reviewed the grammar in Lesson Eight yesterday, and he reviewed it again
today.)

Both 又 (you, again) and (zai, again) indicate repetition of an action， but in a
sentence with 又 (you, again), usually both the original action and the repetition
occurred in the past, whereas 再 （zai， again) indicates an anticipated repetition of
an action in general.

❹ 我 上个周 末去跳 舞了， 昨天我 又去跳 舞了。

Wo shang ge zhoumo qu tiao wu le, zuotian wo you qu tiao wu le.

(I went dancing last weekend. Yesterday I went dancing again.)

❺ 我昨 天去跳 舞了’ 我想 明天晚 上再去 跳舞。

Wo zuotian qu tiao wu le, wo xiang mingtian wanshang zai qu tiao wu.

(I went dancing yesterday. I’m thinking of going dancing again tomorrow

night.)

@ For measuring temperature, China uses the Celsius rather than the
Fahrenheit system. For measuring length and weight， China uses the
metric system， even though some people still use the old system. The
basic unit of length in the old Chinese system is 里 （IT), which equals
half a kilometer， or 0.311 mile. The basic unit of weight in the old
Chinese system is 斤 (jin), which equals half a kilogram， or 1.102
pounds.

In China, the climatic conditions differ drastically from one part of the
country to another. Generally speaking， just as in America， the north is
cold and snowy in winter; the south， hot and wet in summer. Three
cities， 重庆 (Chongqing), 武汉 (Wuhan), and ^ (Nanjing),
are nicknamed “furnaces” for their notoriously hot temperatures in
summer. Some other cities， such as 昆明 (Kunming), are known for
their year-round balmy weather. In the lower (Changjiang, the

longest river in China， also known as the Yangtze) valley， there is a
黄才母 (huangmei, literally， yellow plum) season in May and June
characterized by copious rain and high humidity. But the major rainy
season for most of southern China is in July and August, when almost
all the rivers swell to flood levels. In winter, the island of ) 母南
(Hainan) provides warmth and appealing resorts for tourists from the
north， while many southerners brave the cold and pour into the
northern city of 尔 ^ (HS’erbTn) for its annual exhibition of ice
sculptures.

Some Chinese names for Western places were invented by early
Chinese immigrants, e.g.， 旧金山 (JiujTnshan, literally， Old Gold
Mountain) for San Francisco. But the vast majority of names for
Western places are transliterations. Massachusetts, for instance, is
transliterated as ^ - (Masazhusai), which is in turn abbrevi¬

ated to 州 (Mazhou), with the character 州 (zhou) meaning
“state •” Similarly, California is transliterated as 加利 福尼亚
(Jialifuniya), which is often shortened to 加州 (Jiazhou).

Lesson 11 • Talking about the Weather

China now boasts more internet users than any other country. Many
Chinese urbanites have residential internet access， but many youngsters
prefer to use the internet at a type of commercial facility called 网 ^ 巴
(wangba， internet bar). As 网 口巴 (wangba) provide not only internet
access but also snacks and beverages， they are favorite social venues for
these young internet users. One can easily locate a 网口巴 (wangba) in
a commercial area in any Chinese city. In Taiwan, 1^1 口巴 (wangba) is
commonly known as 网 劝口 （wangka).

❷ In a restaurant, one may
address a staff member, either
male or female, as 服务员

(fuwuyuan, waiter). In Beijing,

however, some customers
would address a young waiter
as 小伙子 (xiaohuozi,
young man) and a young

waitress as

J、 妹 (xiaomei,

lit., little sister), while some
older or middle-aged people
would call a young waitress

姑娘 (guniang,girl; miss). In

a waiter as 先生 (xiansheng)
and a waitress as 」 、姐

These structures are used to form an emphatic negation meaning “not at all” or
“not even one.”

A. Subject + ' 一 (yl) + Measure Word + Object + 也 / 都 (y6/d6u) + 不 /> 史
(bu/mei) + Verb

❶ 小 李一个 朋友也 没有。

Xiao LT yi ge pengyou ye meiyou.

(Little Li does not have a single friend.)

❷ 爸爸 今天一 杯茶都 没喝。

Baba jlntian yi bei cha dou mei he.

(My father didn’t have a single cup of tea today.)

❸ 这些衬 衫我一 件也不 喜欢。

Zhe xie chenshan wo yi jian ye bu xThuan.

(I don’t like any of these shirts.)

O 哥哥 的鞋， 弟弟一 双都不 能穿。

Gege de xie, didi y] shuang dou bu neng chuan.

(The younger brother cannot wear any of his older brother’s shoes.)

C. Subject + ' 点儿 (yi dianr) + Object + 也 / 都 (ye/dou) + 不 / 没 (bu/mei) +
Verb

❺ 他去了 商店， 可是 一点儿 东西也 没买。

Ta qu le shangdian, keshi yi dianr dongxi ye mei mai.

(He went to the store, but he didn’t buy anything at all.)

❻ 妈妈做 菜一点 儿味精 都 不放。

Mama zuo cai yi dianr weijlng dou bu fang.

(Mom doesn’t use any MSG in her cooking.)

If the noun after ^ ^ (yi) is countable, a proper measure word should be
used between 一^ (yi) and the noun, as in (1)， （2)， （3)， and (4). If the noun is
uncountable, the phrase * 一 点儿 (yi dianr) is usually used instead, as in (5) and
⑹.

The following sentences are incorrect:

(Ian、 李 没有一 个 朋友。

*Xiao LT meiyou yi ge pengyou.

(3a) * 这些 衬衫我 不喜欢 一件0

*Zhe xie chenshan wo bu xThuan yf jian.

(5a)* 他东西 没买一 点儿。

*Ta dongxi mei mai yi dianr.

Lesson 12 • Dining

The construction ' (yldianr) + 也 / 者 f (y€/d6u) + 不 (bu/mei) can also
be used before an adjective to express emphatic negation.

❼ 这儿的 冬天一 点儿也 不冷。

Zher de dongtian yi dianr ye bu leng.

(Winter here is not cold at all.)

❽ 那个学 校一点 儿也不 漂亮。

Na ge xuexiao yi dianr ye bu piaoliang.

(That school is not pretty at all.)

❾ 这杯冰 茶一点 儿都不 好喝。

Zhe bei blngcha yi dianr dou bu haohe.

(This glass of iced tea doesn’t taste good at all.)

2. Adverb 多 / 少 (duo/shao) + V

V _ J

多 (duo) and 少 (shao) are two adjectives whose usage is rather unusual. To
express the idea of doing something “more” or “less,” one places 多 （duo) or 少
(shao) before the verb.

❶ 爸爸告 诉妈妈 做菜的 时候少 放盐， 多放点
儿糖。

Baba gaosu mama zuo cai de shihou shao fang yan, duo fang dianr tang.
(Dad asked Mom to add less salt and more sugar when she cooks.)

❷ 上 中文课 得多说 中文， 少说 英文。

Shang Zhongwen ke dei duo shuo Zhongwen, shao shuo YTngwen.

(In Chinese class, one should speak more Chinese and less English.)

This “多 / 少 (duo/shao) + verb” construction can sometimes denote a deviation
from the correct amount or number.

❸ 你 多找了 我一 块钱。

NT duo zhao le wo yi kuai qian.

(You gave me one dollar too many.)

Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

❹ 老 师说要 写五十 个字， 我写了 四 十五个 ，少
写了 五个。

Laos hi shuo yao xie wushi ge zi, wo xie le sishiwu ge, shao xie le wu ge.
(The teacher told us to write fifty characters. I wrote forty-five. I was five
short.)

As an adverb, 冈1 J (gang) denotes that the action or change in situation took place
in the most recent past.

O 我哥哥 刚从中 国来， 一个 朋友都 没有。

Wo gege gang cong Zhongguo lai, yf ge pengyou dou meiyou.

(My older brother just came from China. He doesn’t have a single friend here.)

❷ 我刚洗 完澡， 舒服 极了。

Wo gang xT wan zao, shufu ]\ le.

(I just showered, and feel so great.)

刚才 (gangcai) is a noun that refers to the time shortly before the act of speaking.

©A: 你 知道王 朋在哪 儿吗？

NT zhldao Wang Peng zai nar ma?

(Do you know where Wang Peng is?)

b： 他 刚才在 这儿， 我 不知道 他去哪 儿了。

丁 a gangcai zai zher, wo bu zhldao ta qu nar le.

(He was here a moment ago. I don’t know where he went.)

O 弟弟刚 才吃了 十五 个绞子 ，喝 了两碗

酸 辣汤。

Didi gangcai chi le shiwu ge jiaozi, he le liang wan suanlatang.

(My younger brother finished fifteen dumplings and two bowls of hot and sour
soup a moment ago.)

Lesson 12 • Dining 41

Although 同1 j (gang) and 同1 j 才 (gangcai) are similar in meaning, they are classified
as different parts of speech and are therefore used differently.

a •刚 (gang) can be followed by an expression that indicates the duration of time.

❺ 他刚走 了两天 。

Ta gang zou le liang tian.

(He left only two days ago.)

他刚 才走了 两夭。

*Ta gang cai zou le liang tian.

Unlike ^'J (gangcai), ^'] (gang) cannot be followed by the negation words
不 (bCj) or 没 (mei).

❻ A: 你刚 才 为什么 没说？

NT gangcai weishenme mei shuo?
(Why didn’t you say it a moment ago?)

你刚 为什么 没说？

NT gang weishenme mei shuo?

我刚才 不想说

Wo gangcai bu xiang shuo.

(I didn’t want to say it a moment ago.)

* 我刚不 想说。

*W6 gang bu xiang shuo.

b. A sentence that includes 刚 才 (gangcai) often ends with 了 (le), but a sentence
including 刚 (gang) cannot have T (le) at the end.

❼ A: 你 刚才去 哪儿了 ？ 老师 要你去 办公室 找他。

NT gangcai qu nar le? Laos hi yao m qu bangongshi zhao ta.

(Where were you a moment ago? The teacher wanted you to go to his office.)

Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

B: 我刚才 去图书 馆了。

Wo gangcai qu tushuguan le.

(I went to the library.)

❽ A: 明 天的考 试你开 始准备 了吗？

Mingtian de kao shi nT kaishi zhunbei le ma?

(Have you started preparing for tomorrow’s test?)

B: 刚开始 准备。

Gang kaishi zhunbei.

(I just got started.)

*刚 开始准 备了。

*Gang kaishi zhunbei ie.

4. Resultative Complements (I)

Following a verb， an adjective or another verb can be used to denote the result of
the action, hence the term resultative complement.

O 小 白菜卖 完了。

Xiao baicai mai wan le.
(Baby bok choy is sold out.)

❷ 你找错 钱了。

NT zhao cuo qian le.

(You gave me the incorrect change.)

❸

那个人 是谁你 看清楚 了吗?

Na ge ren shi shei nT kan qlngchu le ma?
(Did you see clearly who that person was?)

[清楚 qlngchu, clear：

see Dialogue II]

Lesson 12 • Dining

Q 太 好了， 这 个字你 写对了

Tai hao le, zhe ge zi m xie dui le.

(Great! You wrote this character correctly.)

Generally， the negative form of a resultative complement is formed by placing
没 (mei? no, not) or 没有 (meiyou, have not) before the verb.

❺ 小白 菜还没 卖完。

Xiao baicai hai mei mai wan.

(Baby bok choy is not sold out yet.)

❻ 那个人 我没看 清楚。

Na ge ren wo mei kan qlngchu.

(I didn’t see clearly who that person was.)

❼ 糟糕， 这个字 你没有 写对。

Zaogao, zhe ge zi nT meiyou xie dui.

(Shoot! You didn’t write this character correctly.)

Following certain verbs, the use of an adjective as the resultative complement is not
random. In those cases, it is advisable to take the combination of the verb and the
complement as a whole unit.

5 .好 (hao) as a Resultative Complement

V _ J

士子 (hao) can serve as a complement following a verb, indicating the completion of
an action. It often indicates readiness to start the next action or event.

❶ 饭做 好了， 快来 吃吧。

Fan zuo hao le, kuailai chi ba.

(The food is ready. Come and eat.)

❷ 功课做 好了， 我要睡 觉了。

Gongke zuo hao le, wo yao shui jiao le.

(My homework is done. I want to go to bed.)

Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

❸ 衣服 我已经 帮你买 好了， 明天 晚会你 就可以
穿了。

YTfu wo yTjlng bang m mai hao le, mingtian wanhui nT jiu key! chuan le.

(I’ve already bought the dress for you. You can wear it for the party tomorrow
night.)

Grammar

6. Reduplication of Adjectives

V _ _ _ _ _ J

Some Chinese adjectives can be reduplicated. When monosyllabic adjectives
are reduplicated， the accent usually falls on the second occurrence. When the
reduplicated monosyllabic adjective takes a “r” suffix, like 十更 t 更」 L (man manr，
slow), its second occurrence is usually pronounced in the first tone, regardless
what the adjective’s original tone is. Reduplication of adjectives often suggests an
approving and appreciative attitude on the speaker’s part.

❶ 王朋高 高的’ 很帅。

Wang Peng gao gao de, hen shuai.

(Wang Peng is tall and handsome.)

Kele liang liang de, hen hao he.

(The cola is nicely chilled and tastes good.)

❸ 酸 辣汤酸 酸的、 辣 辣的， 非常 好喝。

Suanla tang suan suan de, la la de, feichang hao he.

(The hot and sour soup is a bit sour and a bit hot; it tastes great.)

Reduplication of adjectives usually does not appear in the negative form.

Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

7. The Verb 来 (id)

v _ J

In colloquial expressions， the verb 来 (lai) can serve as a substitute for certain
verbs, mostly in imperative sentences:

❶ 先生， 你们想 吃点儿 什么？

Xiansheng, nTmen xiang chi dianr shenme?

(Sir， what would you like?)

_ : 来 一盘糖 醋鱼， 一碗酸 辣汤， 和一碗
米饭。

Lai yi pan tangcuyu, yi wan suanlatang, he yi wan mTfan.

(Give me a plate of sweet and sour fish， a bowl of hot and sour soup， and a
bowl of rice， please.)

(At a party, when someone has sung a song)

再来 一个！

Zai lai yi ge!

(Encore!)

The use of 禾 (lai) in this sense is rather limited. It is usually used in restaurants
and stores， especially when buying small things or coaxing someone to sing a song.

Culture Highlights

The word 中国采 (Zhongguo cai) covers all varieties of Chinese
food in different styles. There are different ways of delineating Chinese
cooking styles. Among the principal regional cuisines in China are the
Shandong school， which originated in the northern province of Shan¬
dong; the Shanghainese school, favored by people in the lower Yangtze
valley; and the Cantonese and Sichuanese schools, based respectively in
the southern provinces of Guangdong and Sichuan. A Chinese restau¬
rant usually specializes in only one cooking style， but some are more
eclectic.

In a Chinese meal, rice is the 主食 (zhushi, staple， or principal food)，
particularly in the traditional rice-growing region of the country,
the south. In the north， 主食 (zhushi) often consists of 面 (mian5
noodles)， (jiaozi， dumplings), and 气叉灰 (mantou， Chinese
bread) instead.

In Chinese food culture， knives (刀 dao) belong in the kitchen, not at
the dining table. The cook preempts the diner’s need for a knife by

cutting up the food, especially the meat， into small pieces before
cooking. As everyone knows, most Chinese people eat not with a fork
but with a pair of chopsticks (1 关 子 kuaizi).

Since the 1990s， American fast food restaurants such as KFC (肯 Y 急
基 KendejT), McDonald’s (麦当 万， Maidanglao), and Pizza Hut
(必月 生客， Bishengke) have been popping up in Chinese cities like
mushrooms. Many of them have enjoyed flourishing business. The
dubious reputation of American fast food as a “fattener” does not
scare most Chinese customers away, and it is popular， especially
among young people and children, to hang out with friends in an
American fast food restaurant. The success of these American
restaurants in China has been, at least in part, due to efforts they
have made to adapt to local tastes. KFC, for instance, now offers
立浆 (doujiang, soybean milk) and }由 条 (youtiao, deep-fried
dough sticks) for breakfast. McDonald’s now sells 鸡卷 (jTjuan，
chicken rolls).

Wang Peng: Chef, what’s good for dinner today?

Chef: We’ve got sweet and sour fish. It’s a little sweet and a little sour. It’s delicious. Why
don’t you get that?

Wang Peng: Great. Do you have beef braised in soy sauce today?

Chef: No, we don’t. You’ve already got fish, so there’s no need to have meat. How about
a cucumber salad?

Wang Peng: All right. Give me a bowl of rice. How much all together?

Chef: Sweet and sour fish is $4.50, cucumber salad $1.70; one bowl of rice, 50 cents. All

1. Direction and Location Words

Direction words 上 / 下 / 月 ll / 后 / 左 / 右 / 东 / 南 / 西 / 北 / 里 / 外 / 旁 (shang/xia/
qian/hou/zuo/you/dong/nan/xT/bei/IT/wai/pang) often combine with suffixes
such as (bi 含 n)， 面 (mian), and 头 (tou). As shown below, such compounds
become location words. The suffixes 边 （biSn)， 面 (mian), and 头 (tou) are all
pronounced in the neutral tone， with the exception of the 边^ (bian) in 旁 边
(pangbian), which remains in the full first tone.

Lesson 1 3 • Asking Directions

The direction word 上 (shang, on) or 里 （IT， in) combines with a noun to form a
location expression, e.g” 桌子上 (zhuozi shang， on the table)， 衣 月艮上 (ylfu
shang， on the clothes)， 书上 (shu shang， in/on the book)， 学才 父里 (xuexiao
li， in the school)， 办 公室里 (bangongshi li? in the office)， 教室里 (jiaoshi li?
in the classroom)， 电才见 里 (dianshi li5 on TV). The word 里 （IT) cannot be used
after some proper nouns such as the name of a country or a city.

Compare:

学校里 有很多 学生。

Xuexiao li you hen duo xuesheng.
(There are many students at school.)

北京 有很多 学生。

Beijing you hen duo xuesheng.
(There are many students in Beijing.)

It is incorrect to say:

can

* 北京里 有很多 学生。

^Beijing li you hen duo xuesheng.

The combination of a direction word plus (bian) / 面 (mian) / 头 (tou)
follow a noun to indicate a location， e.g •，图 书馆 （的） 旁边 (tushuguan {de}
pangbian, near the library)； 学才父 (的） 里面 （ xuexiao {de} ITmian, inside the
school); 桌子 (的) 上头 (zhuozi {de} shangtou, on the table); 教室 (的) 夕卜
面 （ji^iosM {de} waimian, outside the classroom); 城市 （的） 北边 (chengshi {de}
beibian, north of the city). In these expressions the particle 的 (de) following the
noun is optional.

2. Comparative Sentences with 没 （有）

(mei{you})

Besides using 比 （blf)， another way to make a comparison is to use 没（ 有）
(mei{you}). In a comparative sentence with (meiyou), the pronoun 那么

(name) is sometimes added to the sentence. [See more on 习 P 么 (name) below.]

O 我弟 弟没有 我高。

Wo didi meiyou wo gao.

(My younger brother is not as tall as I am.)
[I am taller than my brother.]

Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

❷ 北京 没有上 海热。

Beijing meiyou Shanghai re.

(It is not as hot in Beijing as in Shanghai.)

❸ 他姐姐 没有 他 妹妹那 么 喜欢买 东西。

Ta jiejie meiyou ta meimei name xThuan mai dongxi.

(His older sister does not like shopping as much as his younger sister does.)
[His older sister might like shopping too, but not as much as his
younger sister.]

o 我 没有 她那么 喜欢 刷卡。

Wo meiyou ta name xThuan shua ka.

(I don’t like to use credit cards as much as she does.)

[I do use credit cards, but she likes to use them more than I do.]

A 、/ 免有 (meiyou) B... vs. A 不 夂匕 (bCi bT) B...

While 〉 史有 (meiyou) ...is used to say that one thing is of a lesser degree than
another, 不 扣匕 （bCi bT) ... means “no more than...” The two things being
compared may be equal, but what is specifically stated is that A is no more than B.
Compare the following sentences:

❺ A: 今天 比昨天 热吗？

JTntian bT zuotian re ma?

(Is today hotter than yesterday?)

B: 今天 不比昨 天热。

JTntian bu bT zuotian re.

(Today is not any hotter than yesterday.)

[It could be the same temperature or cooler than yesterday.]

c： 今天 没有昨 天热。

JTntian meiyou zuotian re.

(Today is not as hot as yesterday.)
[Today is cooler.]

那么 (name) is often placed before adjectives or verbs such as 想 (xiang),
吾欢 （xThuan), 会 （hu)), 能 （n4ng), and 听 望 (xlwang), to denote a high
degree.

❶ 你 那么不 喜欢写 日记， 就别写 了吧。

NT name bu xThuan xie rlji, jiu bie xie le ba.

(Since you dislike writing journals so much, why don’t you quit doing it?)
没有… 那么… (meiyou... name...) means “not reaching the point of.”

❷ 弟弟 没有 哥哥那 么帅， 那 么酷。

Didi meiyou gege name shuai, name ku.

(The younger brother is not as handsome and cool as the older brother.)

Zhe pian kewen bT na pian kewen duan ma?

(Is this text shorter than that one?)

B: 这篇课 文不比 那篇课 文短， 两篇一 样长。

In this kind of sentence， expressions of time are often either unspecified or
completely absent. If there is no time expression， the implied time for the action or
event is 以 31) (yTqian, before; previously). Sometimes 以月1 J (yTqian) can appear in
the sentence as well.

O 我以前 去过中 国城， 知道怎 么走。

Wo yTqian qu guo Zhongguocheng, zhldao zenme zou.
(I’ve been to Chinatown before. I know how to get there.)

❺ 以前 我们见 过面， 可 是没说 过话。

YTqian women jian guo mian, keshi mei shuo guo hua.

(We5ve met before， but we’ve never spoken to each other.)

An expression indicating a specific time can also occasionally appear in a sentence

with

过 (guo).

Ni jian guo Li xiaojie ma?

(Have you ever met Miss Li?)

B: 见过， 上个月 还见 过她0

6. Reduplication of Verbs

Like adjectives [see Grammar 3 in Lesson 12]， verbs can also be reduplicated.
Reduplication of a verb in this lesson refers to an anticipated or requested action,
and it makes the tone of the sentence milder.

❶ 老师， 您 再说说 什么时 候用“ 了”， 好吗？

Laos hi, nin zai shuo shuo shenme shihou yong “le”， hao ma?

(Teacher, would you say a bit more about when to use “le”， please?)

❷ 妈， 您 看看， 我这 样写对 不对？

Ma, nin kan kan, wo zheyang xie dui bu dui?

(Mom, take a look — did I write this correctly or not?)

❸ 我用 用你的 电脑可 以吗？

Wo yong yong nT de diannao key! ma?

(May I use your computer for a minute?)

O 你帮我 找找我 的笔， 好吗？

NT bang wo zhao zhao wo de bT, hao ma?

(Could you help me look for my pen for a second?)

NT kao wan shi, women yiqT qu gongyuan zou zou, liao liao tianr.

(Let’s take a walk in the park and have a chat after your exam.)

If a sentence includes both a modal verb and an action verb， only the action verb
can be reduplicated.

Ta xiang kan kan wo de xln shoujT.

(She wants to take a look at my new cell phone.)

7. Resultative Complements (II)

Let’s review all the resultative complements that we have introduced so far， and learn some
new ones that can be formed from the verbs and complements you already know.

a. 九

(wan):

看完

(kan wan)

(finish reading)

吃完

(chi wan)

(finish eating)

喝完

(he wan)

(finish drinking)

考完

(kao wan)

(finish taking a test)

买完

(mai wan)

(finish buying)

卖完

(mai wan)

(sell out)

到 (沿0):

找到

(zhao dao)

(find [something or someone] successfully)

看到

(kan dao)

(see [something or someone])

听到

(ting dao)

(hear [something or someone])

买到

(mai dao)

(buy [something] successfully)

(jian):

看见

(kan jian)

(see [something or someone]) — same as 看 至 ll (kan 、

听见

(ting jian)

(hear [something or someone]) — same as
听到 (ting dao)

好 (hao):

做好

(zuo hao)

(complete doing something， which is now ready)

买好

(mai hao)

(complete buying something, which is now ready)

准备好

(zhunbei hao)

(prepare something, which is ready)

Lesson 13 • Asking Directions

4 普 (cuo):

买错

(mai cuo)

(buy the wrong thing)

找错

(zhao cuo)

(give the wrong change; find the wrong person

or thing)

写错

(xie cuo)

(write [something] incorrectly)

说错

(shuo cuo)

(say [something] incorrectly)

走错

(zou cuo)

(go the wrong way)

t 重 (dong):

听懂

(ting dong)

(comprehend what one hears)

看懂

(kan dong)

(comprehend what one reads or sees)

〉青 楚 (qlngchu):

看清楚

(kan qlngchu)

(see [something] clearly)

听清楚

(ting qlngchu)

(hear [something] clearly)

会 (hu”：

学会

(xue hui)

(acquire the skills [for doing something that on

was previously unable to do])

The collocation of a verb with its resultative complement is not random; one has
to memorize the whole expression of verb plus resultative complement. Some
resultative complements are semantically related to the verb. For instance, in the
sentence 我昨 天看 见她了 （W6 zuotian kan jian ta le, I saw her yesterday),
the complement is semantically related to 看 (kan), the verb of the sentence. Some
resultative complements are semantically related to the object. In the sentence 我
与 4 晉了两 ^ ^字 (Wo xie cuo le liang ge zi5 1 wrote two characters incorrectly),
for instance, it is the object “characters” 字 (zi) that are “wrong” 错 (cuo). Some
resultative complements are related to the subject, e.g.， in the sentence 我 学
T (Wo xue hui le, I have learned it)， the complement 合 (hui) is semantically
related to 我 (wo), the subject of the sentence.

Integrated Chinese 9 Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

— — • • •

就 • • • (yi...jiu..., as soon as...then...)

This structure connects two actions. It can be used to combine actions in two
different types of situations: habitual situations or one-time situations. In a habitual
situation, whenever the first action occurs, the second action immediately follows:

❶ 他一上 课就想 睡觉。

Ta yi shang ke jiu xiang shui jiao.

(He feels sleepy every time the class starts.)

❷ 小张平 常只吃 青菜， 一吃 肉就不 舒服。

Xiao Zhang pingchang zhT chi qlngcai, yi chT rou jiu bu shufu.

(Little Zhang normally eats only vegetables. He feels sick whenever he eats
meat.)

❸ 李 律师一 累就喝 咖啡。

■ v_〉. I — ^ IN- ■_、 I - I —广 ■_

Li lushi yi lei jiu he kafei.

(Attorney Li drinks coffee whenever he feels tired.)

In a one-time situation, the second action takes place as soon as the first is
completed:

O 我们 一进饭 馆儿， 服务员 就告诉 我们没

位 子了。

Women yi jin fanguanr, fuwuyuan jiu gaosu women mei weizi le.

(As soon as we got into the restaurant, the waiter told us there were no seats
available.)

❺ 这课的 语法很 容易， 我一看 就懂。

Zhe ke de yufa hen rongyi, wo yi kan jiu dong.

(The grammar in this lesson was very easy. I understood it the moment
I read it.)

Lesson 1 3 • Asking Directions 97

In Chinese culture， a common and cordial way to greet someone
is by asking a casual question about the routine activity that the
other person is engaged in at the moment. Thus， upon seeing a
friend on her way to a grocery store， one could ask 头 采呀？
(Mai cai ya? Going grocery shopping， eh?) Running into a fellow
student who is leaving a classroom, one could ask 下 i 果了？
(Xia ke le? Just had your class?) As the situation is usually very
obvious， the speaker does not expect, and is not interested in, an
elaborate answer. Nor are these questions considered intrusive or
personal.

In many cities in China， the array of traffic lights includes an
electronic display of the number of seconds before the light turns
from green to red, which enables drivers and pedestrians to better
manage their time in getting through the intersection.

covers

❸ Both 中国话 （Zh6nggu6 hu&) and 中文 (Zhongwen) refer
the Chinese language. However， while 中文 (Zhongwen)
both spoken and written Chinese， 中国 i 舌 (Zhongguo hua)
stresses spoken Chinese. 中国字 (Zhongguo zi) is synonymous
with 汉字 (Hanzi). Similarly, both 日语" (R】yO) and 日文
(Riwen) mean the Japanese language. While 日 文 (Riwen)
covers both spoken and written Japanese， 9 (Riyu) stresses
spoken Japanese. 日 本 f 舌 (Riben hua) is synonymous with
曰语' (Riyu), but it is more informal.

to celebrate a festival), and

过日 子 (guo rizi,to live

one’s life; to live from day to

Grammar

呢 （ne)， at the end of a sentence, indicates that the action is in progress. It is like
在 (zai), which is never used at the end of a sentence, but rather before a verb.

❶ 你写什 么呢？

NT xie shenme ne?
(What are you writing?)

❷ 你找什 么呢？

NT zhao shenme ne?

(What are you looking for?)

呢 (ne) can be used in conjunction with 在 (zai):

❸ 你 在写什 么呢？

NT zai xie shenme ne?

(What are you writing?)

O 你 在找什 么呢？

NT zai zhao shenme ne?

(What are you looking for?)

在 (zai) can be preceded by 正 (zheng). The phrase 正在 (zhengzai) places extra
emphasis on the progressive nature of an action.

❺ 我昨天 给他打 电话的 时候， 他正 在做功 课呢。

Wo zuotian gei ta da dianhua de shihou, ta zhengzai zuo gongke ne.

(When I called him yesterday, he was right in the middle of doing his
homework.)

Lesson 1 4 • Birthday Party 1 07

❻ 別去 找他， 他正在 睡觉呢

Bie qu zhao ta, ta zhengzai shui jiao ne.
(Don’t go look for him. He is sleeping.)

在 (zai) alone indicates that an action is in progress; therefore, the 呢 (ne) in (3)
and (4) above can be omitted.

2. Verbal Phrases and Subject-Predicate Phrases Used as
Attributives

v _ J

In Chinese, attributives, often followed by the particle 的 (de), always appear
before the elements that they modify. Verbs， verbal phrases, and subject-object
phrases can all serve as attributives.

O 吃 的东西

❷ 穿 的衣服

chuan de ylfu

(How long were you in summer school?)

Sentences in this pattern must be in the affirmative. If the verb takes an object, the
verb has to be repeated， as in (3) and (4). If the verb has an object, the following
alternative pattern can be used to express the same idea.

Subject + Verb + ( 了） + Duration of time + ( 的） + Object

Lesson 14 ^ Birthday Party 1 29

Potluck dinner parties are not as popular in China as they are in the
United States. The Chinese host or hostess will usually prepare every¬
thing for the dinner and not count on the guests for any contributions.
But a visitor can still bring something as a token of his or her apprecia¬
tion, like a fruit basket, a bottle of wine, or a bouquet of flowers.

Nowadays, when Chinese people sing for fun, they usually sing kara¬
oke (卡 才乂 OK, kala5oukei) style. Many people in mainland China
and Taiwan regularly go to karaoke bars to have a good time or
celebrate someone’s birthday. They can order food and beverages and
reserve private rooms for their parties. Some people even have karaoke
equipment at home.

The Chinese usually express their appreciation of a gift profusely,
typically by saying 你 太客 1 了！ (NT tai keqi le, You’re
really too kind!). However, most Chinese people would refrain from
opening the present immediately in front of the gift giver lest they
appear too greedy. Flowers make good gifts, but for happy occasions
one should avoid bouquets of white flowers, which are typically for
funerals. Another taboo is giving a clock to an elderly person as a
present， because the phrase 送対7 (song zhong， to give a clock as a
present) is ominously homophonous with 送终 (song zhong), which
means to attend someone’s burial.

There are twelve animal signs in the Chinese zodiac， each representing
one year in a twelve-year cycle. According to a popular but unscien¬
tific theory, one’s personality and temperament have much to do with
the animal that represents the year of one’s birth. It might be surpris¬
ing that the twelve-year cycle should start with the year of the rat, the
smallest and perhaps the least likable of the twelve animals. At the
beginning， as the story goes， there was a bitter quarrel among the ani¬
mals as to who should represent the first year of the cycle. Finally, they
decided to settle the dispute with a race. The robust ox was in the lead
all the way, but he did not notice that the tiny rat was taking a ride
on his back. As the ox was approaching the end， the rat jumped down

1 30 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

■■■■■■■I

and hit the finish line first, while the disappointed ox had to settle for
second place. The indolent pig finished last in the race, and accordingly
was assigned to the final year of the cycle. The following is a list of the
twelve animal signs and the years in recent decades that each of them
represents:

Gao Xiaoyin: Wang Peng, Li You, come in.

Li You: Happy birthday, Xiaoyin. This is a birthday gift for you.

Gao Xiaoyin: Thank you. (She opens the gift.) I always wanted to buy this book. You brought
so many things with you. You’re really too kind.

Wang Hong: Hey brother, Li You， you’re here.

Li You: Xiao Hong, how are you?

Wang Hong: I’m fine. I’m studying English every day.

Wang Peng: Xiao Hong, how much time do you spend practicing English every day?

Wang Hong: Three and half hours, plus I watch two hours of English-language TV.

Gao Wenzhong: When did you two get here?

Li You: Just now.

Gao Wenzhong: Didn’t Bai Ying’ai come with you?

Li You: She’s still not here? I thought she’d already gotten here.

Gao Xiaoyin: Wang Peng， Li You, let me introduce you. This is my cousin Helen. This is her son
Tom.

Wang Peng: Hello, Helen.

Helen: Hello, Wang Peng. Wenzhong and Xiaoyin say that you’re very smart and very
hardworking.

Wang Peng: You flatter me. Your Chinese is great. Where did you learn it?

Grammar

Lesson *15 • Seeing a Doctor 139

1. 夕匕 (st) Indicating an Extreme Degree

v _ /

Placed after an adjective, 夕匕 （sT) can serve as a complement to indicate an extreme
degree of the condition named by the adjective.

❶ 打针疼 死了。

Da zhen teng si le.

(It’s extremely painful to get a shot.)

❷ 我饿 死了。

Wo e sT le.

(I’m starving.)

❸ 今天热 死了。

JTntian re sT le.

(It’s awfully hot today.)

夕匕 (sT) often follows an adjective with a pejorative meaning and therefore the
combination carries a negative connotation, as shown in the examples above.
Occasionally, however， it may also be used in a positive context.

O 知 道了这 件事， 他高兴 死了。

ZhTdao le zhe jian shi, ta gaoxing sT le.

(He was tickled pink when he learned about this.)

Most complimentary adjectives cannot be followed by 夕匕 (sT). People therefore
seldom say:

❺ * 那件衣 服漂亮 死了。

*Na jian ylfu piaoiiang sT le.

❻ *他 跟他女 朋友好 死了。

*Ta gen ta de nu pengyou hao si le.

1 40 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

r \

2. Times of Actions

V _ J

’人 (d) is the measure word most frequently used to indicate that an action is
performed a certain number of times. The “number + 次 （d)’’ combination follows
the verb.

❶ 上 午我打 了两次 电话。

Shangwu wo da le liang ci dianhua.

(I made two phone calls in the morning.)

❷ 昨天我 吃了三 次药。

Zuotian wo chi le san ci yao_

(I took the medicine three times yesterday.)

If the object is not a person or a place， 次 (ci) should be placed between the verb
and the object. If the object represents a person or a place, 次 (ci) can go either
between the verb and the object or after the object.

©A: 去年我 去了一 次中国 。你 呢？

Qunian wo qu le yi ci Zhongguo. NT ne?

(Last year I went to China once. How about you?)

B: 去 年我去 了中国 两次。

Qunian wo qu le Zhongguo liang ci.

(Last year I went to China twice.)

O A: 昨天 我找了 三次王 医生。

Zuotian wo zhao le san ci Wang ylsheng.

(I went looking for Dr. Wang three times yesterday.)

B: 是吗？ 昨天我 也找了 王医生 三次。

Shi ma? Zuotian wo ye zhao le Wang ylsheng san ci.

(Is that right? I also went looking for Dr. Wang three times yesterday.)

Lesson 1 5 • Seeing a Doctor 141

If the object is a personal pronoun， however， 次 (ci) must follow the object.

❺ 我昨天 找了他 两次， 他都 不在。

Wo zuotian zhao le ta liang ci, ta dou bu zai.

(Yesterday I went looking for him twice, but he was not in either time.)

遍 (bian) is another

measure word for occurrences of actions, but it pertains to the

entire course of the action from the beginning to the end.

❻ 请你 念一遍 课文。

QTng nT nian yi bian kewen.

(Please read the text [from the beginning to the end] once).

Nouns denoting body parts involved in the actions can also sometimes serve as
measure words for occurrences of actions. One example is from Dialogue I of the
current lesson:

昨 天晚上 我吃了 几口…

Zuotian wanshang wo chi le jT kou...

(I ate a few mouthfuls last night...)

3 •起来 (qiiai) Indicating the Beginning of an Action

来 (qi lai) indicates the moment when something static becomes dynamic, that
is, it signifies the beginning of an action or state.

❶ 我们 一见面 就聊了 起来。

Women yi jian mian jiu liao le qi lai

(We began chatting as soon as we met.)

❷ 他 一回家 就写起 信来。

Ta yi huf jia jiu xie qi xin lai.

(He began to write a letter as soon as he got home.)

1 42 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

❸ 下了课 以后， 学 生们打 起球来

Xia le ke yThou, xuesheng men da qi qiu lai_

(The students started to play ball after the class was over.)

Note that the object is placed between (qi) and 来 (lai)， rather than after

起来 (qi lai).

Sentences with 才巴 (ba) are common in Chinese. The basic construction is as
follows:

Subject + 把 (ba) + Object + Verb + Other Element (Complement/ T {le}, etc.)

In the 才巴 (ba) construction, what follows the position 才巴 (ba) and precedes the
verb serves as both the object of 才巴 (ba) and the object of the verb. In general, a
sentence in the 4 巴 (ba) construction highlights the subject’s disposal of or impact
upon the object， with the result of the disposal or impact indicated by the element
following the verb.

❶ 我 把你要 的书找 到了。

Wo ba nT yao de shu zhao dao le.

(I have found the books that you wanted.)

[The resultative complement 到 (dao) serves as the “other element,]

In (1)， the subject 我 (wo) exerts an impact on the book through the action of
找 (zhao), of which 到 (dao) is the result.

❷ 你把这 个字写 错了。

NT ba zhe ge zi xie cuo le.

(You wrote this character incorrectly.)

[The resultative complement 错 (cuo) serves as the “other element.’’]

Lesson 15 • Seeing a Doctor 143

In (2)， the subject 4小 (nT) exerts an impact on the character through the action of
与 (xie), of which 错 (cuo) is the result.

❸

请 ^ 巴那 条裤子 给我。

QTng^ba na tiao kuzi gei wo.

(Please pass me that pair of pants.)

[The indirect object 我 (wo) serves as the “other element.，，]

你把这 篇课文 看看。

NT ba zhe pian kewen kan kan.

(Would you take a look at this text?)

[The reduplicated verb 看 (kan) serves as the “other element.’’]

❺ 把这 杯咖啡 喝了！

Ba zhe bei kafei he le!

(Finish up this cup of coffee!)

® 你 怎么把 女朋友 的生日 忘了？

NT zenme ba nupengyou de shengri wang le?

(How did you manage to forget your girlfriend’s birthday?)

[In (5) and ⑹， the particle T (le) serves as the “other element,]

(3)， （4)， and (5) suggest what the listener is requested to do to the objects (the pants，
the text, and the coffee). The other element could be a complement as in (1) and
(2)， an indirect object as in (3)， a reduplicated verb as in (4)， or the particle T (le)
as in (5) and (6).

In the 才巴 (ba) construction, the object is often something already known to both
the speaker and the listener. For example， 你要 ^的书 （nT yao de shQ) in ⑴，
这个字 (zh€ ge z)) in (2)， 那 条裤子 (n& ti 纟 o kCjzi) in (3)， and 女朋友
的生日 (nupengyou de shengri) in (6) are all things that are already kr
Compare the following two sentences:

cnown.

❼ 老 王给了 小张一 些钱。

Lao Wang gei le Xiao Zhang yi xie qian.
(Old Wang gave Little Zhang some money.)

1 44 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

❽ 老王把 钱给小 张了。

Lao Wang ba qian gei Xiao Zhang le.

(Old Wang gave the money to Little Zhang.)

The object in (7)， “some money，” is unspecified. However, in (8)， the speaker
expects the listener to know what money is being referred to.

If the subject of a sentence is given, the object is something known to both the
speaker and listener, and the verb is followed by a complement in the form of a
prepositional phrase with 在 (zai) or 至, J (dao), that sentence must appear in the
才巴 (ba) construction. For example:

你把笔 放在桌 子上。

NT ba bT fang zai zhuozi shang,

(Put the pen on the desk.)

请你把 这封信 送到律 师的办 公室。

QTng nT ba zhe feng xin song dao lush! de bangongshi.
(Please deliver this letter to the attorney’s office.)

The following sentences are therefore incorrect:

* 你放 笔在桌 子上。

*NT fang bT zai zhuozi shang.

* 请 你送这 封信到 律师的 办 公室。

*QTng nT song zhe feng xin dao lush! de bangongshi.

Lesson 15 * Seeing a Doctor

5. The Preposition 对 (dui)

The preposition 对 (dui) introduces the person or thing that receives a certain
effect from someone or something else. Its English translation varies depending on
the context.

❶ 这 种药对 感冒很 有用。

Zhe zhong yao dui ganmao hen you yong.

(This medicine is very effective for colds.)

❷ 他的 电脑对 他练习 发音很 有用。

Ta de diannao dui ta lianxi fayln hen you yong.

(His computer is very useful for his pronunciation practice.)

❸ 你一定 对什么 东西过 敏了。

NT yiding dui shenme dongxi guomTn le.

(You must be allergic to something.)

6. 越 i 来^越 t • • • (yu4 I 含 i yu4.">

、 _ _ _ _ _ J

The structure * * * (yue lai yue...) denotes a progressive change over time.

O 李 友的中 文越来 越好。

LT You de Zhongwen yue lai yue hao.

(Li You’s Chinese is getting better and better.)

❷ 天气越 来越暖 和了。

Tianqi yue lai yue nuanhuo le.

(The weather is becoming warmer and warmer.)

1 54 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 « Textbook

❸ 表姐考 试考得 越来越 糟糕。

Biaojie kao shi kao de yue lai yue zaogao.

(My cousin is doing worse and worse on her exams.)

The expression 再 (zaishuo) introduces an additional reason for an action that
has been taken or decision that has been made. It is different from 再 + "^兑 (zai +
shuo, to say again).

❶ A: 你为什 么不去 纽约？

NT weishenme bu qu Niuyue?

(Why aren’t you going to New York?)

B: 我没有 时间， 再说， 也没 有钱。

Wo meiyou shijian, zaishuo, ye meiyou qian.

(I don’t have the time， and besides, I don’t have the money.)

❷ 我不喜 欢今天 晚上的 舞会， 音乐 不好， 再说
人也 太少。

Wo bu xThuan jlntian wanshang de wuhui, ylnyue bu hao, zaishuo ren ye tai
shao.

(I didn’t like the dance party tonight. The music was lousy. Besides, there were
too few people there.)

Like 再说 (zdshud), 而且 (erqie, moreover; in addition) also conveys the idea
of “furthermore， additionally，” etc., but the clause that follows it may or may not
be explanatory in nature. Compare the following sentences:

©A: 你为什 么不去 纽约？

NT weishenme bu qu Niuyue?

(Why aren’t you going to New York?)

b： 我没有 时间， 而且， 也没 有钱。

Wo meiyou shijian, erqie, ye meiyou qian.

(I don’t have the time. Besides， I don’t have the money.)

Note: In (3)， 而且 (erqie) can be replaced with 再 $允 (zaishuo).

Lesson 15 。 Seeing a Doctor

155

o 这是王 先生， 他不但 是我的 老师， 而 且也是
我的 朋友。

Zhe shi Wang xiansheng, ta budan shi wo de laoshl, erqie ye shi wo de
pengyou.

(This is Mr. Wang. He is not only my teacher but also my friend.)

Note: In (4)， 而且 (erqie) cannot be replaced with 再 4允 (zaishuo):

4a * 这是王 先生， 他不但 是我的 老师， 再 说也是
我的 朋友。

*Zhe shi Wang xiansheng, ta budan shi wo de laoshl, zaishuo ye shi wo de
pengyou.

Lesson 1 5 • Seeing a Doctor 161

Culture Highlights

■Hi

❶

Before Western medicine 西 医 (XTyT) was first introduced to China
during the seventeenth century by European missionaries, the
Chinese had relied exclusively on traditional Chinese medicine 中 医
(ZhongyT), a system including acupuncture, herbal medicine， massage，
and other therapies. Even now, these indigenous ways of medical
treatment remain a well-respected option. Many Chinese people
choose to use traditional Chinese medicine for various ailments along
with or instead of Western medicine. Although by no means a
panacea, traditional Chinese medicine can be surprisingly effective.
Many of the reasons for the effectiveness of therapies such as
acupuncture and cupping are not fully understood by modern science.

同仁堂

Tongrentang

One of the oldest and most reputable Chinese herbal medicine chain stores.

1 62 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

To see a doctor， a Chinese outpatient has to pay a registration fee
(挂 号费 guahao fei). The fee is typically equivalent to no more than
one US dollar， but could be considerably higher if one wants to consult
an esteemed specialist (专 家 zhuanjia). For prescribed tests， outpa¬
tients usually have to pay up front.

According to the sign, what do people do here?

While injections (打今 h zhen) and intravenous infusion (^T 点滴

da diandT in Taiwan and shu ye in mainland China) are

seldom used in American hospitals for outpatients, they are much
more common treatments for outpatients in Chinese hospitals， clinics
and doctors’ offices, even for common ailments like a cold.

An outpatient in China would usually pick up his or her prescription
from a pharmacy within the hospital itself. One can， however, get
medicines from independent pharmacies.

Until the 1980s, employees in all state-owned enterprises and
institutions in China were offered free medical care， which became
a huge financial burden for the government. That practice was
discontinued in the 1990s. The cities in China are currently in a
transitional period toward a better-regulated system of medical
insurance， while most people in the rural areas are still without any
insurance coverage for their health care.

Lesson 15 • Seeing a Doctor 163

English Text

Dialogue I

(Going to a hospital for treatment)

Gao Wenzhong: Doctor， my stomachache is killing me!

Doctor: What did you have to eat yesterday?

Gao Wenzhong: It was my sister’s birthday last week. We didn’t finish the cake. Last night I had
a few bites. My stomach began to hurt at night, and this morning I went to the
bathroom several times.

Doctor: Where did you put the cake?

Gao Wenzhong: In the refrigerator.

Doctor: How long had it been there?

Gao Wenzhong: About five or six days.

Doctor: Do you have a fever?

Gao Wenzhong: No, I don’t.

Doctor: Please lie down. Let me check.

Wang Peng:

Li You:

You upset your stomach by eating that cake.

Do I need an injection?

No, you don’t need an injection. Just take this medicine, three times a day, two
pills at a time.

Doctor， how many times a day? Could you please repeat that?

Three times a day， two pills at a time.

All right. Before or after meals?

Either before or after meals is fine, but you’d better not eat anything for
twenty-four hours.

Then I’ll be starving. That’s not a good idea. That’s not a good remedy!

Wang Peng， what’s the matter? How come your eyes are red? Did you catch a
cold?

No, I didn’t catch a cold. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I haven’t been
feeling well the last few days. My eyes are red and itchy.

You must be allergic to something.

I think so, too. That’s why I went to the pharmacy and got some medicine. I’ve
taken four or five kinds and spent quite a bit of money， but none of them has
been effective.

Take out the medicines you bought. Let me take a look.

Here you are.

These medicines are useless. Why didn’t you go to the doctor? Don’t you have
health insurance?

I do have health insurance. I have too much homework this semester. Going to
the doctor takes too much time.

Even so, you still need to go see a doctor as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’ll
get sicker and sicker.

1 64 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

Wang Peng: I’d like to try some other medicines first. Last time I was sick I didn’t go to the
doctor. After a couple days’ rest， I was fine.

Li You: No way, no way, you’re too lazy. Besides， you can’t just randomly take
medicine by yourself. Let’s go. I’ll go to the doctor with you.

感冒 、咳嗽

This clinic specializes in the seven
health problems listed. Do you
recognize any of them?

PROGRESS CHECKLIST

Before proceeding to Lesson 16, be sure you can complete the following
tasks in Chinese:

I am able to —

f\/] Tell the doctor about my symptoms;

Ask the doctor if a shot or medicine is needed for treatment;

Follow and repeat the doctor’s instructions on when and how often
to take the medicine;

Tell people about my allergies and briefly describe my allergy
symptoms.

That's How the Chinese Say It!

A Review of Functional Expressions from Lessons 11-15

really work!

Grammar

1. Descriptive Complements (II)

The subject of a sentence can be described by a complement following (de).

o 我们玩 儿得很 高兴。

Women wanr de hen gaoxing.

(We had a happy time playing.)

[We played. We were very happy.]

❷ 孩子 笑得很 可爱。

Haizi xiao de hen keJai.

(The kid gave a very cute smile.)

[The child smiled， and the child looked cute.]

Lesson 16 • Dating 1 73

❸ 他 打球打 得很累 ’。

Ta da qiu da de hen lei.

(He was worn out from playing ball.)
[He played ball, and he was worn out.]

o 他高兴 得又唱 又跳。

Ta gaoxing de you chang you tiao.

(He was so happy that he ended up singing and dancing.)
[He was happy, and he was singing and dancing.]

In the sentences above， the verbs 玩 (wan)， 笑 (xiao)5 and 才丁 球 (da qiu) and
the adjective 兴 (gaoxing) give the causes, while the complements 尚 兴
(gSoxing)， 可爱 （k 爸 ’&i)， 累 (lei) and 又口昌 又在兆 (you chang you tiao) describe
the effects on the subject.

As shown in (1)， （2)， and (3)， when an adjective serves as a descriptive complement，
it is often preceded by the adverb 彳艮 （hen)， just like a predicate adjective.

A complement describing the subject seldom appears in the negative.

_ * 他高 兴得 没有 又唱 又跳。

*Ta gaoxing de meiyou you chang you tiao.

2. Potential Complements

v _ _ : _ y

^ (de) or 不 (bu) is placed between a verb and a resultative or directional
complement to indicate whether a certain result can be realized or not.

❶ 跳 舞太难 ，我学 不会。

Tiaowu tai nan, wo xue bu hui.

(Dancing is too difficult. I can’t learn it.)

©A: 你晚上 六点半 点能回 来吗？ 我 等你吃 晚饭。

Zhe feng Zhongwen xin nT kan de dong ma?

(Can you understand this Chinese letter?)

B: 我看 得懂。

Wo kan de dong.

(Yes， I can understand it.)

Potential complements usually appear in negative sentences. They are used in
affirmative sentences much less often, mainly in answering questions that contain a
potential complement, as in (6).

The affirmative form and the negative form of a potential complement can be put
together to form a question.

❼ 五 十个绞 子你吃 得冗吃 不冗？

Wu shi gejiaozi nT chi de wan chi bu wan?

(Can you eat fifty dumplings or not?)

Potential complements are an important feature of Chinese. They are often the
only way to convey the idea that the absence of certain conditions prevents a result
from being achieved. Potential complements have a unique function that cannot
be fulfilled by the “不能 (bu neng) + verb + resultative/directional complement”
construction. For example, 做不 冗 (zuo bu wan) means “not able to finish，”
while 不 能 "f 故冗 （bO neng zuo wan) conveys the idea of “not allowed to finish •”

Grammar

4. Directional Complements (II)

V _ /

Directional complements indicate the direction in which a person or object moves.
A directional verb such as 上 (shang, to go up)， 下 (xia5 to go down)， 进 (jin?
to go in)， 出 （chQ， to go out), 回 (hui, to return), 过 (gu6, to go over), 起 (qT，
to rise), 开 (kai, to part from), (dao, to arrive), 来 (lai, to come) or 去 (qu,
to go) can be placed after another verb to become what is known as a “simple
directional complement •” When a simple directional complement such as 上， 下，
进 ，出 ，回， 过， 起 ，开 or 到 (shang, xia, jin, chu, hui, guo, qi, kai or dao)
is combined with 来 or 去 (lai or qu), we have what is called a “compound
directional complement.”

Simple Directional Complements:

Pattern I:

A. Subject + Verb + Place Word / Noun (Phrase) + 来 / 去

❶ 她下楼 来。

subject + verb + place word + directional complement

Ta xia lou lai.

(She is coming downstairs.)

❷ 她上 楼去。

Ta shang lou qu.

(She is going upstairs.)

❸ 请你买 一些水 果来。

subject + verb + noun phrase + directional complement

QTng nT mai yi xie shuTguo lai.

(Please buy some fruit [and bring it] here.)

185

1 86 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 ® Textbook

O 你 给他送 一点儿 吃的东 西去。

NT gei ta song yidianr chi de dongxi qu.

(Take some food to him.)

When a verb is followed by a location word， that verb can only be a directional
verb such as 上 （sh 纟 ng)， 下 （x ⑻ ，进 (jin)， 出 （chQ)， 回 （hu()， 过 （gu6)， or
至 ll (dao)， as shown in (1) and (2).

B. Subject + Verb + 来 / 去 + Noun

Ta mai lai le yi xie shuTguo.

(He bought some fruit and brought it here.)

When the object of the verb is a location word， the sentence can only appear in
Pattern A， as in (1) and (2). When the object is a regular noun and the action is not
completed， the sentence often appears in Pattern A as well， as in (3) and (4). If the
action is completed, the sentence can appear either in Pattern A or in Pattern B.
Pattern A should therefore be memorized as the essential form.

Pattern II:

A. Subject + Verb + 上 / 下 … + Place Word /Noun

❻ 他走 上楼。

Ta zou shang lou.

(He walked upstairs.)

[The sentence doesn’t indicate whether the speaker is upstairs or downstairs.]

❼ 老 师走进 教室。

Laos hi zou jin jiaoshi.

(The teacher walked into the classroom.)

[The sentence doesn’t indicate whether the speaker is in the classroom or not.]

❽ 他 拿出一 张纸。

Ta na chu yi zhang zhT.

(He took out a piece of paper.)

Compound Directional Complements

Lesson 16 - Dating 1 87

A. Subject + Verb + 上 / 下… + Place Word / Noun+ 来 / 去

❾ 她走下 楼来。

Ta zou xia lou lai.

(She walked downstairs.)

[The speaker is downstairs.]

® 老 师走进 教室去 / 来。

LaoshT zou jin jiaoshi qu/lai.

(The teacher walked into the classroom.)

[With 去， the speaker is not in the classroom; with 禾， the speaker is in the
classroom.]

® 弟弟跳 上床来 / 去。

Didi tiao shang chuang lai/qu.

(My little brother jumped onto the bed.)

[With 来， the speaker is on the bed; with the speaker is not on the bed.]

Wo de tongxue zou jin shudian lai/qu.

(My classmate walked into the bookstore.)

[With 来， the speak er was in the bookstore; with 去， the speaker was not in
the bookstore.]

Qing m mai hui yi xie h lai.

(Please buy some pears and bring them back here.)

Ta na chu yi zhang zhT lai.

(He took out a piece of paper.)

1 88 Integrated Chinese « Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

请大家 都拿起 笔来。

QTng dajia dou na qi bT lai.

(Please pick up a pen, everyone.)

起 (qi), in the same way as 起来 （qi lai), signifies a movement from a lower point
to a higher point.

However, (qi) compounds only with 来 (lai), never with (qu)， in forming
a directional complement combination.

The difference between 上 (shang) and 起 (qi) is that 上 (shang) is followed
by a location word which indicates the end point of the movement， while 起 (qi)
never precedes a location word.

zou shang lou
(to go upstairs)

(16a) * 走起楼

*zou qi lou

B. Subject + Verb + 上 / 下… + 来 / 去 + Noun

丁 a mai hui lai le yi xie shuTguo.

(He bought some fruit and brought it back here.)

As in the case of the simple directional compounds, when the object is a location
word, the sentence appears only in Pattern A, as in (11) and (12). If the object is a
regular noun and the action is not completed, the sentence often appears in Pattern
A as well， as in (13)， (14)， and (15). If the action is completed, the sentence can
appear either in Pattern A or in Pattern B. Again, Pattern A should be memorized as
the essential form.

When the 才巴 (ba) construction is used with a directional complement, the
sentence can appear in either of these two patterns:

I. Simple Directional Complement

Subject + 才巴 + Object + Verb + 来 / 去

QTng ba m de chuang ban lai.

(Please move your bed here.)

Lesson 16 * Dating 1 89

把 这杯冰 茶拿去

Ba zhe bei blngcha na qu.

(Take this glass of iced tea [with you].)

II. Compound Directional Complement

Subject + + Object +Verb + 上 / 下 . . • （+ place word) + 来 / 去

@ 我把 书拿起 来了。

Wo ba shu na qi lai le.

(I picked up the book.)

® 快把 车开回 家去。

Lesson 16 • Dating 195

❶

❷

In premodern China， marriages were almost invariably arranged by the
parents. Intimate contact between unmarried young men and women
was strictly prohibited. Traditionally, Chinese people shied away from
any public display of affection. Even as recently as the 1980s, one
seldom saw a couple walking on the street hand-in-hand, but today
people do not make much fuss about couples hugging and kissing each
other in public.

Valentine’s Day, a Western holiday， is becoming popular in China
now， especially among young people in the cities. As in the West， it is
commercially a big day for retailers and restaurants, and young people
spend lavishly on roses， chocolates， and candlelight dinners.
Meanwhile, some people have been pushing to make the seventh day

of the seventh month on the lunar calendar the Chinese “Valentine’s
Day，’’ or 情 人 l7 (Qingrenjie). According to a romantic legend that
came into existence nearly two millennia ago, the seventh day of the
seventh month is the only day of the year when the Cowherd and the
Weaving Girl, a loving couple that was forcibly separated， are allowed
to meet each other on a bridge of magpies over the Silver River
(4 艮〉 可， Yinhe), the Chinese name for the Milky Way.

Chinese people are typically very concerned about u saving face，” not
only for themselves but for other people as well. That is the reason a
Chinese person would usually try to find excuses when turning down
a request or an offer， instead of rejecting it bluntly.

Seeing movies is part of the nightlife in Chinese cities, especially
for people going out on dates. Meanwhile, Peking (Beijing) opera
( ^ jlngju), a traditional form of entertainment that once

flourished in many cities， especially those in the north， has been
losing ground in competition with films， TV, karaoke clubs, and
internet bars.

No problem. What about the following weekend? After your tests are over,
we’ll go have a good time.

Next weekend won’t work, either. I’m moving out of the dorm. I have to
clean and tidy up my room.

How about two weeks from now?

I，m sorry, two weeks from now would be even more impossible. I’m going
on a trip to New York with my boyfriend.

In that case...

Mr. Fei, I，m sorry, my cell phone is out of power. Bye.

LANGUAGE NOTES

a bathroom (with a toilet and
shower or bathtub), 卫 生
)司 (weishengjian, lit., hygiene
room) is the most frequently used
term for bathrooms in mainland
China. In public places 卫 生
I 司 (weishengjian) simply means
"restroom." Other Chinese terms
for "bathroom" and "restroom”
include:

浴室 (yushi), bathroom for

bathing, usually without a toilet,
厕所 (cesuo), public restroom
with no bathing facilities, 洗
手间 (xTshoujian), restroom
or bathroom, and 化 妆 室

Lesson 17 • Renting an Apartment 203

1 • Verb + 了 （ie) + Numeral + Measure Word + Noun + 了 （ie)

V _ _ _ J

The sentence 王朋 在学校 的宿 舍住了 两个学 期了。 (Wang Peng zai
xuexiao de sushe zhu le liang ge xueqT Ie.) means that Wang Peng has been living
on campus for two semesters up to this moment. On its own, the sentence usually
implies that the action has been continuing for some time and is expected to last
into the future.

❶ A: 你开出 租汽车 开了几 年了？

NT kai chuzu qiche kai le jT nian le?)

(How many years have you been driving a cab?)

B: —年 半了。

Yi nian ban le.

(For a year and a half now.)

❷ 弟弟写 电子邮 件写了 半个钟 头了， 不 知道还
要 写多长 时间。

Didi xie dianzT youjian xie le ban ge zhongtou le, bu zhldao hai yao xie duo
chang shijian.

(My younger brother has been writing e-mails for half an hour. Who knows
how much longer he will be.)

The following two sentences are different in meaning：

❸ 他病 了三 天了。

Ta bing le san tian le.

(He has been sick for three days.)

[The illness has continued for three days and he currently remains sick.)

o 他病 了 三天。

Ta bing le san tian.

(He was sick for three days.)

[He recovered from the illness on the fourth day.]

204 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

If， however, a clause in this pattern is followed by another clause， it may suggest that the
action may come to an end.

❺ 我打扫 房子打 扫了一 上午了 ，想 休息 一下。

Wo dasao fangzi dasao le yi shangwu le, xiang xiuxi yi xia.

(I’ve been cleaning the house all morning. I’d like to take a break.)

This structure is not limited to temporal expressions. It can also be used to indicate
quantity:

❻ 衣 服我已 经买了 三件了 ，够 了。

YTfu wo yTjlng mai le san jian le, gou le.

(I have already bought three pieces of clothing. That’s plenty.)

❼ 这封信 我已经 看了两 遍了， 不想再 看了。

Zhe feng xin wo yTjlng kan le liang bian le, bu xiang zai kan le.

(I’ve read this letter twice already and don’t want to read it again.)

2. 连…都 / 也 (lian...dou/ye)

连 (lian) is an intensifier which is always used in conjunction with 者 (dou/ye).

❶ 我 姐姐的 孩子很 聪明， 连日 本话都 会说。

Wo jiejie de haizi hen congming, Man Ribenhua dou hui shuo.

(My sister’s child is really smart. She can even speak Japanese.)

❷ 我弟弟 学中文 学了一 年了， 可是连 “天” 字都不

会写。

Wo didi xue Zhongwen xuele yi nian le, keshi Man "tian" zi dou bu hui xie.

(My younger brother has been studying Chinese for a year now, but can’t even write
the character 天 •）

❸ 你 怎么连 药都忘 了吃？

NT zenme Man yao dou wang le chi?

(How could you forget even to take your medicine?)

Lesson 17 • Renting an Apartment 205

O 昨 天学的 生词我 连一个 也不记 得了。

Zuotian xue de shengci wo Nan yi ge ye bu jide le.

(I can’t recall even a single word we learned yesterday.)

What follows (Man) usually represents an extreme case: the biggest or smallest,
the best or worst, the most difficult or easiest, etc. (1)， for instance, implies that
Japanese is very difficult. If a child can speak such a difficult language as Japanese，
then the child must be very intelligent. Similarly， 天 (tian) is considered one of
the easiest Chinese characters. If the younger brother in (2) does not know how
to write 天 (tian), it goes without saying that he can’t write other more difficult
characters.

3. Potential complements with Verb + 不下 (bu xia)

The V + 不 下 (bu xia) structure suggests that a location or container in question
does not have the capacity to hold something.

❶ 这个 客厅大 是大， 不 过坐不 下二十 个人。

Zhe ge ketTng da shi da, buguo zuo bu xia ershi ge ren.

(This living room is pretty spacious, but still not large enough to seat twenty
people.)

❷ 这张 纸写不 下八百 个字。

Zhe zhang zhT xie bu xia babai ge zi.

(This piece of paper isn’t big enough to write 800 characters on.)

❸ 这个冰 箱放不 下两个 西瓜。

Zhe ge blngxiang fang bu xia liang ge xlgua.

(This refrigerator won’t fit two watermelons.)

4 •多 （du6) Indicating an Approximate Number

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ y

多 (duo) can be placed after a number to indicate an approximate number. The
combination indicates not an exact number but a general numeric range, e.g.,
十多 个 (shi duo ge) means more than ten but fewer than twenty; it could be
eleven, twelve, thirteen, etc.

206 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

If the concept represented by the noun is not divisible into smaller units, and the
number is ten or a multiple of ten， 多 (duo) precedes the measure word， e.g”
二十多 个人 (ershfduo ge ren, more than twenty people)， 二十多 个 学
生 (sanshi duo ge xuesheng, more than thirty students), ^ ^ ^百多 张 姜氏 （yi bai
duo zhang zhT， over one hundred sheets of paper).

However, if the concept represented by the noun can be divided into smaller
units (e.g.， 一块钱 = 十毛， 一 个星期 = 七天 [yf kuai qian = shi mao, yf ge
xlngql = ql tian])， there are two possibilities. If the number is not ten or a multiple
of ten， 多 (duo) should be used after the measure word, e.g •，七 块多钱
(ql kuai duo qian, more than seven dollars but less than eight)， 一 个多 星期
(yf ge duo xlngql, more than one week but less than two). If the number is ten or a
multiple of ten， 多 (duo) can be used either before the measure word, e.g., 十多
块钱 (shi duo kuai qian, more than ten dollars but less than twenty), or after the
measure word， e.g., 十 块夕 钱 (shi kuai duo qian， more than ten dollars but
less than eleven)， but these two options represent different numeric ranges.

❶ 这支 笔一块 多钱。

Zhe zhl bT yi kuai duo qian.

(This pen is over one dollar.)

[The price is more than one dollar but less than two.]

❷ 我们 班有二 十多个 学生。

Women ban you ershi duo ge xuesheng.

(There are over twenty students in our class.)

[There are more than twenty students but fewer than thirty.]

❸ 妹妹感 冒十多 天了。

Meimei ganmao shf duo tian le.

(My younger sister has had a cold for more than ten days.)

I The number of days is between ten and twenty.]

o 他昨 天买了 四十多 个梨。

Ta zuotian mai le sishi duo ge If.

(He bought over forty pears yesterday.)
[The number is between forty and fifty.]

Lesson 17 • Renting an Apartment 207

❺ 他昨 天买礼 物花了 一百多 块钱。

丁 a zuotian mai ITwu hua le yibai duo kuai qian.

(He bought over one hundred dollars’ worth of gifts yesterday.)

[He spent more than one hundred dollars but less than two hundred.]

©A: 这双黑 鞋十多 块钱。

Zhe shuang hei xie shi duo kuai qian.

(This pair of black shoes is over ten dollars.)

[The price is more than ten dollars but less than twenty.]

B: 这双咖 啡色的 鞋十块 多钱。

Zhe shuang kafei se de xie shi kuai duo qian.

(This pair of brown shoes is over ten dollars.)

[The price is more than ten dollars but less than eleven.]

❼ A: 这 家饭馆 儿的师 傅和服 务员认 识十年 多了。

Zhe jia fanguanr de shlfu he fuwuyuan renshi shi nian duo le.

(The chef and the waiter in this restaurant have known each other for ten
years and some months.)

[The length of time is longer than ten years but shorter than eleven.]

B: 我以为 他们认 识十多 年了0

Wo yTwei tamen renshi shi duo nian le.

(I thought they had known each other for more than ten years.)

[The length of time is between ten and twenty years.]

Culture Highlights

Until the late 1990s， college students in China were all required to live
in dorms on campus, with six or seven of them sharing a room and
possibly dozens sharing a bathroom. Because there was no place to
cook in the dorms， everyone ate in the students’ dining hall ( 学 生
餐厅 xuesheng canting) on campus. Since the early 1980s， foreign
students have generally been segregated into designated dormitories,
typically with two to a room. Living conditions for Chinese students,
meanwhile， have improved substantially since the late 1990s. At some
colleges， students now have the option of renting apartments off
campus, if they can afford it.

❷

It is becoming increasingly convenient to rent an apartment in a
Chinese city. One can look for listings online, in the local newspapers,
or simply call or stop by one of the many 中 介 公司 (zhongjie

gongsT, intermediary companies), agencies that match apartment
owners with potential tenants.

Traditionally, the Chinese had a special love — many still do — for
birds, especially parrots and canaries. Tropical fish also remain
popular with many urbanites. Even crickets make good pets for some
people. In the countryside, the most popular household pets are cats,
at least partly for the practical purpose of keeping rats away. In recent
decades, the population of dogs, especially in the cities, has increased
dramatically. According to a report by China News Week in 2006,
there were 550,000 “licensed” dogs in Beijing alone. By receiving the
license, these animals became “legal residents” of the city.

Lesson 17 • Renting an Apartment 225

English Text

Narrative

Wang Peng has been living in the school dorm for two semesters. He thinks that the dorm is too
noisy， and he can’t sleep well. His room is too small， and he can’t even fit a computer there.
Besides， he has nowhere to cook. It’s really inconvenient, so he plans to move out next semester.
He has been looking for a place for a month now， but he hasn’t found anything suitable yet. He
just saw an ad in the newspaper saying there’s an apartment for rent. It’s very close to school，
only a five-minute walk — very convenient. The apartment includes a bedroom, a kitchen, a
bathroom, and a living room, and it’s furnished. Wang Peng thinks this apartment may be just
right for him.

Dialogue

Wang Peng: Hi， do you have an apartment for rent?

Landlady: Yes, we do. One bedroom with a living room. It’s very clean， and also furnished.
Wang Peng: What kind of furniture does it have?

Landlady: In the living room there is a sofa set, a dining table, and four chairs. The bedroom
has a bed, a desk and a bookcase.

Wang Peng: Is it quiet over there?

Landlady: Extremely quiet.

Wang Peng: How much is the monthly rent?

Landlady: $850.

Wang Peng: 850 U.S. dollars? In renminbi that’s almost. ..Thafs a little bit expensive. Could you
come down a little bit?

Landlady: All right. You won’t have to pay for the utilities.

Wang Peng: Do I have to pay a deposit?

Landlady: An extra month’s rent as a security deposit, which will be returned to you when you
move out. And another thing， no pets are allowed in our apartments.

Wang Peng: That doesn’t matter. I’m not interested in keeping pets. I don’t have pets of any
kind.

Landlady: Great. Why don’t you come over this afternoon and take a look?

Wang Peng: OK.

Lesson 18 * Sports 231

1. Duration of Non-Action

Time Expression + 没 (m6i)+V+ (了）

丁 his structure indicates that an action has not been or was not performed for a
certain period of time.

❶ 他三 天没上 网了。

丁 a san tian mei shang wang le.

(He hasn’t gone online for three days.)

❷ 我 两年没 检查身 体了。

Wo liang nian mei jiancha shentT le.

(I haven’t had a check-up in two years.)

❸ 我的狗 病了， 一天 没吃东 西了。

Wo de gou bing le, yi tian mei chi dongxi le.

(My dog is sick; she hasn’t eaten anything for a day.)

O 妹妹上 个月特 别忙， 三个 星期没 回家。

Meimei shang ge yue tebie mang, san ge xlngql mei hui jia.

(My younger sister was especially busy last month, and she didn’t come home
for three weeks.)

❺ 去年 寒假我 去英国 旅行， 一个月 没 吃中国

菜。

Qunian hanjia wo qu YTngguo luxing, yi ge yue mei chi Zhongguo cai.

(I went on a trip to Britain during the winter break last year, and didn’t eat
any Chinese food for a month.)

Please note the difference between this construction and the one that indicates the
duration of an action in an affirmative sentence. Compare:

232 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

©A: 我学了 两年中 文了。

Wo xue le liang nian Zhongwen le.

(I have been studying Chinese for two years.)

B: 是吗？ 我两年 没学中 文了。

Shi ma? Wo liang nian mei xue Zhongwen le.
(Really? I haven’t studied Chinese for two years.)

2. 好 / 难 (hao/nan) + V

Some verbs can be preceded by 士子 or 只隹 (hao or nan), and the resulting
compounds become adjectives. In this case， 士子 (hao) usually means “easy” while
难 (nan) means “difficult，” e.g.: 好受 / 难受 (haoshou/nanshou, easy to
bear/hard to bear)， 4 子 与 / 难与 (haoxie/nanxie, easy to write/hard to write)，

好* 走 / 难走 (haozou/nanzou, easy to walk on/hard to walk on)， 好^允 / 难
说* (haoshuo/nanshuo, easy to say/difficult to say), 好^懂 / 难 t 重 (haodong/
nandong, easy to understand/hard to understand)， 士 子口昌 / 难口昌 (haochang/
nanchang, easy to sing/hard to sing). In some other compounds, however， '^予 (hao)
suggests that the action represented by the verb is pleasant， while 只隹 (nan) means
the opposite， e.g., 士子 口乞 / 难口乞 (haochl/nanchl, delicious/unappetizing)， 3 子看 /
难看 （h5ok&n/n 含 nk&n， pretty/ugly)， 好听 / 难听 (haotlng/nantlng, pi easant to
the ear/unpleasant to the ear), etc.

3. 下去 (xia qu) Indicating Continuation

下去 (xia qu) signifies the

continuation of an action that is already in progress.

O 说 下去。

Shuo xia qu.

(Go on speaking.)

❷ 你 别念下 去了， 我 一点儿 也不喜 欢听。

NT bie nian xia qu le, wo yi dianr ye bu xlhuan ting.

(Please stop reading. I don’t like listening to it at all.)

Lesson 18 • Sports 233

❸ 中 文很有 意思， 我想学 下去。

Zhongwen hen you yisi, wo xiang xue xia qu.

(Chinese is very interesting. I’d like to continue learning it.)

o 你已经 跑了一 个多小 时了， 再跑 下去， 要累

死了。

NT yTjTng pao le yf ge duo xiaoshi le, zai pao xia qu, yao lei sT le.

4. Duration of Actions

V _ _ _ y

When a sentence contains both a time expression that indicates the duration of an
action and an object, it needs to be formed in one of these two patterns:

A. Repetition of the verb

B. Time expression placed before the object, often with 的 （de).

o A. 她每天 听录音 听一个 小时。

Ta meitian ting luyln ting yi ge xiaoshf.

Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

B. 她每 天听一 个小时 （的） 录音。

Ta meitian ting yf ge xiaoshi (de) luyln.

(She listens to recordings for an hour every day.)

©A. 她 每天下 午游泳 游四十 分钟。

Ta meitian xiawu you yong you sishf fenzhong.

B. 她 每天下 午游四 十分钟 （的） 泳。

Ta meitian xiawu you sishf fenzhong (de) yong.

(She swims for forty minutes every afternoon.)

❸ A. 她每 天看英 文报纸 看两个 小时， 所以 英文越
来滅 好了。

Ta meitian kan YTngwen baozhT kan liang ge xiaoshi, suoyT YTngwen yue lai
yue hao le.

B. 她每 天看两 个小时 （的） 英 文报纸 ，所 以英文
越桌越 好了。

Ta meitian kan liang ge xiaoshi (de) YTngwen baozhT, suoyT YTngwen yue lai
yue hao le.

(She reads English newspapers for two hours every day， so her English is
getting better and better.)

5. The Particle 着

(zhe>

看 (zhe) signifies the continuation of an action or a state. Its function is
descriptive. When 着 (zhe) is used between two verbs， the one that precedes 着
(zhe) signifies the accompanying action， while the second verb signifies the main
action.

❶

老 师站着 教课， 学 生坐着 听课。

Laos hi zhan zhe jiaoj^e, xuesheng zuo zhe ting ke.

(While the teacher stood lecturing， the students sat listening.)

Lesson 18 • Sports 243

❷ 我喜欢 躺着听 音乐。

Wo xihuan tang zhe ting ylnyue.

(I like to listen to music while lying down.)

❸ 美式 足球可 以抱着 球跑。

Meishi zuqiu key! bao zhe qiu pao.

(In American football, you can run with the ball in your hands.)

着 (zhe) is normally used after a verb to indicate a continuing action or a state. 在
(zai) is normally used before a verb to indicate an ongoing action.

O a： 学生们 在做什 么呢？

Xuesheng men zai zuo shenme ne?
(What are the students doing?)

B: 在 运动。

Zai yundong.

(They’re exercising.)

在 (zai) in (4) above cannot be replaced with 着 (zhe). Likewise， 着 (zhe) in the
earlier sentences cannot be replaced with 在 (zai), either.

6. 被 / 叫 / 让 (bei/jiao/rang) in Passive-Voice Sentences

A sentence in the passive voice can be constructed with

被 (b 会 i), 叫 (jiao), or

让

(rang). Its structure is as follows:

receiver of the action + 被 （bd>/ 叫 （Ji^o)/ 让 (rang)

+ agent of the action + verb + other element (complement/ 了 {le}, etc.)

❶ 我的 功课被 / 叫 / 让狗 吃了。

Wo de gongke bei/jiao/rang gou chi le.

(My homework was eaten by my dog.)

244 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

❷ 你 买的那 些书被 / 叫 / 让你 的女 朋友拿 去了。

NT mai de na xie shu bei/jiao/rang m de nupengyou na qu le.

(The books that you bought were taken away by your girlfriend.)

❸ 糟糕， 你的网 球拍被 / 叫 / 让我压 坏了。

Zaogao, m de wangqiu pai bei/jiao/rang wo ya huai le.

(Oh gosh， your tennis racket was crushed [by me].)

O 你看， 我 的梨被 / 叫 / 让

你的 西瓜压 坏了。

NT kan, wo de If bei/jiao/r 纟 ng nT de xlgua ya huai le.

(Take a look. My pears were crushed by your watermelon.)

In Chinese, the passive voice is not used as often as it is in English. It often carries
negative connotations and usually appears in situations that are unpleasant for the
receiver of the action， or in situations where something is lost. As in the 才 巴 (ba)
structure (see Lesson 13)， the verb is usually followed by another element， such as a
complement or T (le).

In a passive-voice sentence with 牙皮 (bei)/ (jiao) / 让 (rang), the agent of the
action does not always have to be specified. If the agent of the action is someone
that is not identifiable or need not be identified， it can be referred to simply as
(ren， someone; people).

❺ 我的信 用卡被 / 叫 / 让人拿 走了。

Wo de xinyongka bei/jiao/rang ren na zou le.)

(My credit card was taken away.)

With (bei), the agent of the

action can be omitted from the sentence:

❻

同学 p 在教室 里又唱 又跳， 他快
被吵 死了。

Tongxue men zai jiaoshi li you chang you tiao, ta kuai
bei chao sT le.

(His classmates are singing and dancing in the classroom.

The noise is driving him to distraction.)

被 (bei) sometimes can be used in a positive sense， but we will not discuss it
in detail here.

25^i Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

As living standards in China have improved in recent decades， the
consumption of calorie-rich foods， especially meat， has been on the
rise. Obesity has quietly become a problem for many people in urban
areas， especially children. That change is reflected in sociolinguistic
effects. Before the 1970s one could say “你月 羊了” （NT pang le,
You’ve put on weight) and have it received as a compliment， but now
one has to be really careful with that expression.

In recent decades， China has consolidated its status as the leading
sports power in Asia. In some sports events, such as table tennis and
diving， China has enjoyed a dominant position in the world. By far the
most popular sport in China, as in many other countries, is soccer, but
ironically, China’s national soccer team is second-rate even in Asia.
What Chinese speakers call “football” （足 3 求 zuqiu) is actually soccer
in American English. American football, called 美 式足球 ^ (Meishi
zuqiu) or 4 敢视球 (ganlanqiu) in China, is not played there.

Actually, not many people in China would understand the frenzy and
exhilaration of American fans watching what can seem to be little
more than a group scuffling on grass.

One of the most spectacular scenes in a Chinese city is in the early
morning， when hundreds or even thousands of men and women， most
of them older people and retirees， gather in the parks to do Tai Chi
boxing ( 太才及 taijiquan) and other forms of exercise.

Lesson 18 • Sports 2 3

In China, all television stations are state-owned. Apart from Chinese
Central Television (CCTV)， each province has its own TV stations.
CCTV has a channel， CCTV 5, exclusively devoted to sports， where
NBA games are regularly aired. It also offers an English channel,
Channel 9, which can be received all over the world through satellite
transmission.

Dialogue II

Wang Peng’s younger sister, Wang Hong， just came from Beijing. She will be going to college in the
United States. Right now she is staying at Gao Xiaoyin’s place， studying English. To improve her
English, she watches two hours of TV every day.

Look， my gut is getting bigger and bigger.

You usually overeat， and on top of that you don’t exercise; of course you’re
putting on more and more weight.

What should I do?

If you’re afraid of being overweight, you should exercise two or three
times a week, for half an hour each time. Then your belly will get smaller.

I haven’t exercised for two years. What kind of exercise should I do?

The simplest exercise is jogging.

It’s so cold in winter, and so hot in summer. Jogging is too uncomfortable.

How about playing tennis?

Then I’d have to get a tennis racket and tennis shoes. You know tennis rackets and
tennis shoes are very expensive!

How about getting a few people together to play basketball? Buying a basketball is
very inexpensive.

Then every time I’d have to call people and arrange to meet. That’s way too much
hassle.

Then why don’t you swim? There’s no need to look for people, it wouldn’t cost
much money, and you could go any time.

Swimming? I’m afraid of water. That’s too dangerous. What if I drown?

There’s nothing I can do [to help]. If you’re not willing to exercise， then keep
packing on the pounds.

Gao Xiaoyin: Hurry, turn the TV on. The football game is starting,

Wang Hong: Really? I like watching football games too. ..What kind of football is this? How
come it’s not round?

Gao Xiaoyin: This is not international football, this is American football.

Wang Hong: To play football you should kick (the ball) with your feet. Why is that guy running
with the ball in his hands?

Gao Xiaoyin: In American football you can use your hands.

Wang Hong: Look! All those people are piling on top of each other. Wouldn’t the people
underneath be crushed to pieces?

Gao Xiaoyin: Don’t worry, they’re really strong. Besides, they wear special sports clothing, so
everything’s fine.

Wang Hong: I’ve been watching for a while and I still don’t get it. Let’s watch something else.

Gao Xiaoyin: You only have to live in America for half a year before you will begin to like

American football. When my boyfriend is watching a football game, often he will
even forget to eat.

LANGUAGE NOTES

❶月初 (yue chu) refers to the

first few days of the month,

typically from the 1 st to the

5th or 6th. 月中 (yue zhong)

is for the middle of the month,

roughly from the 1 4th to 1 6th

or 1 7th. 月底 (yue dT) means

the final days of the month,

usually from the 27th or 28th.

One can also say 年 初 (nian

chu, beginning of the year),

年中 (nian zhong, middle of

the year), and 年底 (ni 垚 n dT,

、

end of the year). The words 初
(chQ, beginning), 中 (zhong,
middle), and 底 (dT,end;
bottom) usually compound
with either 月 (yue) or
(nian) and are never used with
星期 (xlngql).

❷ In Taiwan, people say 友王
机 (banjT) instead of 航方王
(hangban).

❸ The approach to describing a
discount in Chinese is different

from that in English. In English the
emphasis is on the amount that is
given as a discount, e.g., 10% off,
20% off, etc. In Chinese, however,

the emphasis is on the proportion
of the original price that is actually
pa id. Therefore, 九折 (j i。 zhe)
means that the price is 90% of the
original price, or 1 0% off; 七五
折 (qT wu zhe) means 75% of
the original price; and 对 折 (dui
zhe) 50% of the original price.

0 中国 国际航 空公司

(Zhongguo Cuoji Hangkong
CongsT, literally, HChina

shortened to 国命 L (Gu6h^mg).
It’s known in English as Air China.

❺ As introduced in Lesson 10, the
basic meaning of 走 (zou) is "to
walk." Here 走 (zou) means to

leave or to depart.

® 对了 (dui le) is often used when
one suddenly thinks of something
For instance, if a student is saying
goodbye to his classmate, and all
of a sudden it occurs to him that

they need to study for a test the
next day, he can say: 明天见 0

Grammar

2. Question Pronouns as Indefinite References (Whoever,
Whatever, etc.)

V _ J

A question pronoun repeated in two separate but related clauses of the same
sentence forms the equivalent of the “question pronoun + -ever” expression in
English. Its first occurrence refers to an indefinite person, object, time, place, etc.
Its second occurrence then refers to that same person, object, time, place, etc.

❶ 谁 想去， 谁 就去。

Shei xiang qu, shei jiu qu.

(Whoever wants to go can go.)

❷ 你吃 什么， 我就吃 什么。

NT chi shenme, wo jiu chi shenme.

(I’ll have whatever you’re having.)

❸ 哪双鞋 便宜， 就买 哪双。

Na shuang xie pianyi, jiu mai na shuang.)

(Buy whichever pair of shoes is the cheapest.)

Lesson 19 • Travel

Passenger:

怎么近

怎么走

Zenme jin, zenme zou.

(I’ll take whichever is the shortest distance.)

In this kind of sentence, sometimes the two occurrences of the question pronoun
play the same grammatical role, i.e， both are subjects, as in (1); or both are objects,
as in (2). Sometimes the two occurrences of the question pronoun perform different

grammatical functions. In (3)， for example, the first 哪 双 (na shuang) is the
subject whereas the second 哪 双 (na shuang) is the object. The adverb 就 (jiu)
often precedes the verb in the second clause, but not always, as shown in (5) and
(6) below.

❺ 哪儿 安静， 我住 哪儿。

Nar anjing, wo zhu nar.

(I’ll live wherever it’s quiet.)

❻ A: 他找谁 帮他搬 家具？

丁 a zhao shei bang ta ban jiaju?

(Who is he going to ask to help him move his furniture?)

B: 谁身 体棒， 他 找谁。

Shei shentT bang, ta zhao shei.

(He’ll ask whoever is strong.)

However, in Chinese the next larger

unit after a thousand is not

called 叶千

(^shi qian), but 万 (wan). Even though the Chinese share the international practice
of segmenting a long Arabic number into three-digit sets in writing or in print, they
mentally divide the number into four-digit sets instead when they read it. Starting
at the fifth digit from the right is the four-digit set of 万 (wan), and the next four¬
digit set is that of 4 乙 (yi). In the examples below, we have artificially indicated such
divisions as an aid.

Most travel agencies in China belong to three travel agency groups
targeting different types of tourists: International Travel
Agencies (国 际 旅行社 Guoji LfixfngshS) or 国旅 (Guo Lu);
China Travel Agencies (中国 旅行社 Zhongguo LuxTngshe) or
中方 R (Zhong Lu)； and Youth Travel Agencies (青年 亍才土
QTngnian Luxingshe), also known as 青权 (QTng Lu). While 国
旅^ (Guo Lu) and 中 方久 (Zhong Lu) mainly serve foreign tourists and
overseas Chinese respectively, 青 (QTng Lu) is primarily oriented
toward Chinese citizens.

The busiest travel season in China is January and February， when
millions upon millions of people travel to join their families or friends
for the Chinese New Year. Railroad remains the major means of
domestic travel. During the Chinese New Year period, all the railroad
stations across the country are overcrowded with travelers awaiting
their trains or seeking tickets. There are four different classes of train
tickets: for carriages with hard seats (石 更座 y'ing zuo), cushioned
seats (软座 ruan zu6)， hard sleeping berths (石 更卧 ying wo), or
cushioned sleeping berths (库 欠臣卜 ruan wo). In recent decades, in the
wake of the rapid growth of China’s aviation industry, airplane travel
has become an increasingly competitive option for domestic travelers.

Grammar

Lesson 20 • At the Airport 291

A •的 (de) usually follows an attributive but not an adverbial. The attributive can
be formed by an adjective, a noun， or a verbal phrase.

O 漂亮的 女孩子

piaoliang de nuhaizi
(pretty girl)

❷ 哥哥 的公司

gege de gongs!

(older brother’s company)

wo de woshi

(my bedroom)

O 刚买 的机票

gang mai de jlpiao

(a recently purchased plane ticket)

❺ 妈妈 给我 们做的 蛋糕

mama gei women zuo de dangao
(the cake Mom made for us)

In most cases, (de) is followed by a noun, as seen in (1) to (5), but it can also
precede an adjective or verb if that adjective or verb serves as the subject or object
in the sentence.

❻ 南 京的热 [是 有名 的]。

Nanjing de re [shi youming de].

(Nanjing’s heat/That Nanjing is hot [is well-known].)

4: i!2 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

❼ 他的死 [大 家最 近才听 说]。

Ta de sT [dajia zuijin cai tTngshuo].

(His death/That he has died [became known to everyone only recently].)

B. 地 (de) links

an adverb or adverbial to a following verb. An adjective， an

adverb, or a set phrase can serve as an adverbial if followed

by 地 (de).

❶ 慢慢 儿地吃

manmanr de chi

(to eat slowly)

❷ 很高 兴地说

hen gaoxing de shuo
(to say happily)

❸ 一 直地走

yizhi de zou

(to walk straight forward)

O 好好儿 地玩儿

haohaor de wanr
(to have some real fun)

C. ^ is used after a verb or an adjective to connect it with a descriptive
complement or a complement of degree.

❶ 跑 得很快

pao de hen kuai
(to run fast)

❷ 做菜做 得很好

zuo cai zuo de hen hao

(to cook well)

Lesson 20 • At the Airport 293

gaoxing de tiao qT lai
(to leap up with joy)

O 危险得 不得了

weixian de bu deliao
(unbelievably dangerous)

Compare the following two sentences:

❺ 他高兴 地唱着 歌走回 宿舍。

Ta gaoxing de chang zhe ge zou hui sushe.
(He sang happily on his way back to the dorm.)

❻ 他高 兴得唱 起歌 来了。

Ta gaoxing de chang qi ge lai le.

(He was so happy that he started to sing.)

In (5) 焉兴 (gaoxing) is used to describe the manner of his singing. In (6)
1^1 头 (gaoxing) is the cause of his singing.

2. …的 时候 (...de shihou) and …以后 (...ythou) Compared

V _ y

In a sentence of the pattern “VI 的 时 "f1 矣 （de sh(hou)，V2"”” the second action
and the first action take place simultaneously.

❶ 走的 时候 别忘了 带 些钱。

Zou de shihou bie wang le dai xie qian.

(Don’t forget to take some money with you when you leave.)

294 Integrated Chinese • Level 1 Part 2 • Textbook

❷ 我看 见他的 时候， 他正在 打球。

Wo kan jian ta de shfhou, ta zhengzai da qiu.

(When I saw him， he was playing ball.)

❸ 妹妹看 短信的 时候， 一 边看一 边笑。

Meimei kan duanxin de shfhou, yibian kan yibian xiao.

(When my little sister was reading the text messages， she smiled as she read
along.)

However, in a sentence of the pattern “VI 以 尼 (yThou), the second action

takes place after the first one.

O 他走了 以后， 才想起 来忘了 带钱。

Ta zou le yihou, cai xiang qi lai wang le dai qian.

(He didn’t realize until after he had left that he had forgotten to take any
money with him.)

The • ••合 今 时 (de shfhou) structure describes two simultaneous actions. One
may say in English, “When I get to China, I will eat Beijing roast duck，” when one
really means， “After I get to China, I’ll eat Beijing roast duck.” In Chinese， that idea
has to be conveyed with 以后 (yihou):

❺

我 到中国 以后要 吃北京 烤鸭。

Wo dao Zhongguo yThou yao chi Beijing kaoya.

(I will eat some Beijing roast duck after I arrive in China.)

[烤鸭

(kaoya, roast duck) See Dialogue II.]

(5a) * 我到 中国的 时候要 吃北京 烤鸭。

*Wo dao Zhongguo de shfhou yao chi Beijing kaoya.

I This sentence is incorrect because you won’t eat Beijing roast duck until after
you arrive in China.]

❶

For domestic flights in China， each passenger is allowed to

check only one piece of luggage. Snacks or meals are usually

served on domestic flights.

Originally a delicacy on imperial menus, Beijing roast duck
boasts a history several centuries long. Now it is arguably the
food item most emblematic of the culinary culture of

northern China. Indeed, its reputation is well reflected in the
Chinese saying that no visit to Beijing is complete without a

visit to the Great Wall and a meal at a roast duck restaurant.
The most famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing is 全聚
4 急 (Quanjude), which was established in 1864.

Lesson 20 • At the Airport 311

English Text

Dialogue I

(At the Air China Counter)

Wang Peng: Miss, these are our tickets.

Airline staff: Please show me your passports. How many pieces of checked luggage do
you have?

Wang Peng: Two. We won’t check this bag. We’ll take it on board.

Airline staff: Please put the suitcases up here.

Li You: Miss， they are not over the weight limit, I hope.

Airline staff: No, they’re not. Here are your passports and tickets. These are your boarding
passes. Please go to Gate 5 to board the plane.

Wang Peng： Thank you.

Wang Hong: You’re both leaving for Beijing. I’ll be all alone here.

Wang Peng: Xiao Hong， don’t cry. We’ll be back in just a few weeks. Work hard on your
English. Don’t go running around.

Wang Hong:
Gao Wenzhong:
Li You:
Bai Ying’ai:
Wang Peng:

Be back in a few weeks? Won’t be back till a few weeks later!
Don’t worry. My sister Xiaoyin will take good care of you.
That’s right. Don’t worry.

When does the plane leave?

12:00 noon. There are two hours left.

Li You: Bai Ying’ai， when are you going to New York for your internship?

Bai Ying’ai: I’m not going to New York anymore. Wenzhong helped me get an internship
in California.

That’s right. We’re driving to California next week.

Really? Driving and sightseeing at the same time， that’s really wonderful.
Drive carefully. Have fun!

Have a safe trip. Don’t forget to email us after you arrive in Beijing.

OK. See you in the fall then.

See you next semester.

Wang Hong： Goodbye!

Dialogue II

(At the Beijing Capital Airport)

Wang Peng’s Dad: Xiao Peng!

Wang Peng: Dad， Mom!

Mom: You must be really tired.

Wang Peng： Not really. Dad, Mom, let me introduce you... This is my classmate Li You.

Li You: Uncle, Aunt, how do you do?

Dad: Welcome to Beijing.

Mom: Li You， you speak Chinese wonderfully.

Li You: Thank you. It’s because Wang Peng is a good teacher.

Wang Peng: You flatter me. It’s because you’re smart.

Dad: Hey, you’re both smart.

Mom: Xiao Peng， you seem to have lost some weight. Is it because you were too busy
working and had no time to eat?

Wang Peng: Mom, I haven’t lost any weight. I exercise a lot. I’m much stronger than before.
Mom: How is Xiao Hong?

Wang Peng: She’s great. Her English has really improved.

Dad: Let’s go. We’ll talk at leisure after we get m the car. Grandpa and Grandma are
waiting for us at the roast duck restaurant.

Li You: Roast duck restaurant?

really work!

I •一 言为 定 (yi yan wei ding, it’s a deal; it’s decided)

You say “一吕 为定” (yi yan wei ding) when you and your friends or business part-
ners have reached a decision. By saying it, you remind all the other parties that the deci¬
sion should be remembered and honored.
