Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to talk about means of transportation in Chinese?
You'll learn how in just a moment.
Hi, my name is Fangfang, and this is Three Step Chinese by ChineseClass101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to talk about how you get around — by train, by taxi, by foot — and more, through a quick conversation.
Let's look at the dialogue.
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds.
辛苦了!现在是5点了。还有时间呢。(Xīnkǔ le! Xiànzài shì wǔ diǎn le. Hái yǒu shíjiān ne.)
你计划几点和朋友见面?(Nǐ jìhuà jǐ diǎn hé péngyou jiànmiàn?)
我们7点见面。我打算跑步去三里屯。你也要跑步去吗,黄先生?(Wǒmen qī diǎn jiànmiàn. Wǒ dǎsuàn pǎobù qù Sānlǐtún. Nǐ yě yào pǎobù qù ma, Huáng xiānsheng?)
我已经累了。我打算坐电车去。(Wǒ yǐjīng lèi le. Wǒ dǎsuàn zuò diànchē qù.)
Let's hear it with the English translation.
辛苦了!现在是5点了。还有时间呢。(Xīnkǔ le! Xiànzài shì wǔ diǎn le. Hái yǒu shíjiān ne.)
"You've worked hard! It's 5 o'clock now. There's still time."
你计划几点和朋友见面?(Nǐ jìhuà jǐ diǎn hé péngyou jiànmiàn?)
"What time do you plan to meet your friend?"
我们7点见面。我打算跑步去三里屯。你也要跑步去吗,黄先生?(Wǒmen qī diǎn jiànmiàn. Wǒ dǎsuàn pǎobù qù Sānlǐtún. Nǐ yě yào pǎobù qù ma, Huáng xiānsheng?)
"We're meeting at 7. I plan to jog to Sanlitun. Are you going to jog there too, Mr. Huang?"
Pay attention to the next sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson.
