Should work on anything that supports the GNU C++ compiler. Issue with mobile devices is probably
more with the interface: inputing content and displaying the output.

DrWatson -

This is a passage taken from a text I am studying from. I had a few questions about it and was
hoping I might get some feedback.

1) 一聽可著了急 -- does this mean anxiously listening?
2) What does 他就到《她》那裡去 mean? I really cannot figure out the meaning.
3) 說甚麼也不肯去 -- Does this mean "say something also about not agreeing to go"?
4) In the final clause, what does 連 do/mean in this sentence?



Quote:

爺爺一聽可著了急,上星期六就約好了,星期一把聰聰送進幼兒園,他就到《她�
��那裡去.誰知道今天聰聰特別不聽話,說甚麼也不肯去.他不禁嘆息起來;想當�
��,自己能指揮一個團,現在卻連一個五歲孫子都指揮不了.

2) It is a part of what is before it... 一。。。就。。。。 so as soon as he dropped of

The 一 you're referring to here is part of 星期一。

3) 什么也不 and 什么都不 are fixed phrases, they mean "nothing at all", or "not anything",
as in 我什么都没看懂 - I didn't understand anything.










muyongshi -

Ha...I read to 一‘s there...in that cause the 就 just links the two clauses and means after
doing x then I did x. so 就 is just then, shows a progression.










studentyoung -



Quote:

1) 一聽課著了急 -- does this mean anxiously listening?

Here is a typo. It is not “課”, but “可”. The original text should be:
爺爺一聽可著急了(On hearing this, Grandfather became so worried).



Quote:

3) 說甚麼也不肯去 -- Does this mean "say something also about not agreeing to go"?

“說什麼也不…… “ means “someone are so reluctant to do something no matter how hard
you try to persuade him/her”.



Quote:

4) In the final clause, what does 連 do/mean in this sentence?



Quote:

他不禁嘆息起來;想當年,自己能指揮一個團,現在卻連一個五歲孫子都指揮不�
��.

连here means “even”. He couldn’t help sighing in his heart, “I could control a whole
regiment, but now I can’t even control my five year old grandson.”

Cheers!










Carolyn -

1.一聽課著了急.
Is tins setence "一聽可著了急"?
It means when grandpa heard the news he feel anxious at onece.as same as 一····就····
2.他就到《她》那裡去。"《xx》",xx is a book's name.But 她 is a person,so you can't
use "《》"(書名號)
" It is a part of what is before it... 一。。。就。。。。 so as soon as he dropped of the
kid at the kindergarten he then went to wherever she was at."right answer.

3) 說甚麼也不肯去:in this setence,甚麼也不means not at all.
說甚麼也不肯去:whatever grandpa say 聰聰 don't agree to go to 幼兒園 at all.

4) In the final clause, what does 連 do/mean in this sentence?
連：indicate emphasis
想當年,自己能指揮一個團,現在卻連一個五歲孫子都指揮不了.
in this setence,grandpa think：in the past he can command troop,but now he can't command his
five-year old grandson.
emphasize 一個五歲孫子都指揮不了.

my english is not very well,hope you can understand what i say.










Anfya -

想當年,自己能指揮一個團,現在卻連一個五歲孫子都指揮不了.

Here he is saying that he could conduct a musical group in the past, but now he could not even
command a five-year-old kid.

for an another example,
以前她可以吃下五個漢堡，現在卻連一碗飯都吃不完。
In the past she could eat up five hamburgers, (but) now she could not even finish one bowl of rice.

"連" is often used to compare a big difference between the past and the present situation.










DrWatson -

Carolyn, thank you for the remarks. What should I use for quoting 她? Should I use "她"?










DrWatson -

So I have some more questions based on the responses above. I can't seem to wrap my head around
some of the grammar.

1) Is it true that 一 corresponding with the 就 is the one attached 星期一 and not 一聽? I
thought that 星期一 was Monday? If it is true, then what does 一聽 mean?

2) I am afraid I still don't get this part: 他就到"她"那裡去. "then went to wherever she
was at." 他 in this case is not the Grandfather, but the boy? Is that why the 把 structure was
used? Does it focus the attention to the boy?

Thanks for your help so far! It is really helping me understand the text better.










muyongshi -

Okay the one 一 is a part of 星期一 so it is not part of an 一。。。就。。。structure.
However the 一聽 is part of that type of structure (就可以省略) so that one means "as soon
as he heard it....."

For the 把字句 the 他 is the grandfather, notice the subject isn't changing.
[He/Grandpa]把the kid 送到幼儿园 and then he [still grandfather] went wherever he went to.
The 把 doesn't add emphisis to the child, it's just the best way to say the sentence. It keeps
the grandpa as the subject all the way through and all the actions, 送 and 去 belong to him.

So basically I just wanted to start a thread about 'Current Beijing Events' that we can add to
just to keep others informed about some of the more interesting events that may be going on, but
we may not be aware of...but overall, they should be fun to go to and potentially help us with our
studying of Chinese in some way. Even purely fun (preferably free) activity listings would be nice

So one (that I meant to add earlier) is that the 外文句 often holds free seminars (well, once a
month)~ here is the most recent from last week end one here. But in the future, you can just check
out their website here for events, the lecture is usually listed as 大家讲堂

Also, there are always a ton of (admission free) expos going on, so if you hear of any interesting
ones, maybe you can list them here. They may be fun to visit and learn something new.

Ok, so my post is a bit late (I even saw it on the news last night but apparently today was the
last day), but this was going on this week, which looked interesting. I guess if other events are
going on they could potentially be listed here~in advance..


暨民族语文国际学术研讨会在京召开










imron -

Listed in advance does usually help










heifeng -

yes, I agree. Unfortunately I saw that one on the news at night and by the time I looked it up the
next day it was over..grr...

anyway, saw this one in the paper yesterday,in addition to it being posted online~ plenty of
advanced notice:

(I really liked 王国振老师's lecture before)










imron -

Got up this morning to check when these were on, and they were already started Maybe next time.
Anyone else interested in going to the one tomorrow? I just gave them a call then and they still
have places, so I might go and have a look.










zhameng -

Thanks Heifeng for starting this thread off about event related to studying Chinese... I was
really interested to see it and am now glad to have something to contribute.
Chinese Culture Club in Beijing are advertising a presentation on Chinese Deities for this
Wednesday (Dec 5). They say it will be in Chinese with English interpretation.
http://www.chinesecultureclub.org/ev...p?eventid=1589
I guess the language used for talking about Chinese Deities is going to be pretty technical, but
it should be interesting.










imron -



Quote:

Well, I ended up going to this, it was quite an interesting lecture, however the lecturer lost
some credibility when he mentioned that unlike English, Chinese didn't have grammar










imron -



Quote:

I was really interested to see it and am now glad to have something to contribute.

Haha, well, I think Heifeng's emphasis was not just on events, but also to *free* events

P.S. First posts by new users containing links to commercial websites/activities are usually
deleted. I'm letting this one through because some people might be interested.










heifeng -

Here is an inexpensive event (last day is the 25th though!!):

“好运北京”轮椅篮球邀请赛今日开战 门票最低10元

Also this month at the 外文局 there is a free lecture on Japanese-Chinese translation










gougou -

There's a lecture on cultural differences between Chinese and Japanese tonight. I was planning to
go, but will probably have to pass as I just got assigned a new project.

extrapages -

i know ill still be here in february.
feel free to contact me when you get here. and until then, you can ask any specific questions you
have on the forum and youll probably get some quick and thorough answers.
i was really lucky to have met "jamoldo" when i FIRST got here. he helped me buy my cell phone and
get settled in without feeling bewildered and hopelessly confused. i probably would have cried
myself to sleep for a week if he and his friend werent so freaking nice to me.
itd be pretty awesome to be able to help someone new and keep the love flowing, na'mean?










sannomiya -

well, i just sent out my application form so i might be going there in feb. it was either bnu,
blcu, or tsinghua for me. chose bnu since a lot of people agree the quality of teaching is better
than the others. hopefully, i'll see you all there.










adrianlondon -

http://www.bnulxsh.com/flash/index.htm#

I think someone at BNU has too much time on their hands.

Oh, if you want the English language, click on the cheese ...










sannomiya -

it is official. just got my acceptance package in the mail. i am attending bnu.










gaikokujin -

Hi!

Does this University do chinese semesters for foreigners who would like to study mandarin?

Thanks a lot!










adrianlondon -

Do you mean ... do they teach Mandarin to foreigners? If so then yes, that's what we're all
talking about here.










Jamoldo -

Following extrapages' post, if anyone has any questions let me know, on this board or via PM and I
can try and help you, though I will be leaving BNU in mid January...










gaikokujin -

HI Jamoldo,

Thanks.

- what the average age /nationalities trends in the classes?
- how many hours per week? how many class levels are there?
- if you start the courses with more or less level 3 HSK, what can you expect after 6months
studying "normally"? after a year?
- can I take 6 months then swith to something more business oriented?

Cheers,
Gaikokujin










Jamoldo -

1. Average age, I'd estimate low 20s, but all ranges. From 17 years old up to 40, and maybe above.
That being said, most are undergraduate students, either from other countries, or foreign students
studying to get their B.A. from Beishida. With regards to nationalities, the majority of foreign
students are Korean, followed by Japanese. As you go higher in level the more Korean and Japanese
students there are (especially Korean). In the lower levels you also have a lot of Indonesians
(that's been my observation). Then there's a scattering of Europeans, Americans, Malaysians,
Africans etc.

2. There are 15 to 17 class hours a week (depending on if you go to the extra/optional tutoring
class that's offered). Class levels range from first year to fourth year. 100 (ni hao), 101, 102,
201, 202, 301, 302, 401, 402.

3. One should progress "3" levels on the HSK per year ON AVERAGE. Depends on how much Chinese you
speak and how hard you study for the HSK. After all the HSK is a test that one has to prepare for.
I have met people who had trouble speaking Chinese but did very well on the HSK, and vice versa.
Different people progress at different levels, so it's hard to say.

4. You can study for 6 months, and then try to sit in and audit a business class. Most professors,
from what I hear would allow it, though I think I'd get lost really quickly, unless I was at a
decent level of Chinese. What you can do is during Newspaper reading class, choose to translate
articles reporting business and economics news, which is what I choose to do. I am sure you can
also find someone to tutor you for cheap, and help you with business and economics stuff.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Hi trufflepig,

If you threw out your Ding, wouldn't you make a din on your Ding?

Also, you can fit a lot of guinea pigs in a Ding. I bet they taste good.

Anyway, the first part of the recipe is also the way to make the begger's chicken in more modern
Chinese cooking. You just stop at taking the feathers off and seasoning it a little with salt and
pepper. I have never tried it -- I don't want to deal with a chicken with feathers!

Btw, the traditional way of the begger's chichen recipe started with: First, you steal a chicken
from you neighbor's yard.

imron -

I'm not sure what the deeper meaning of the scene is, but I think it shows very much the power
that 周朴园 holds over his household, and that the 周 household is still a very traditional
(i.e. feudal) one. This is quite an important thing to note, especially when placed in the context
of what was happening in society at the time, with a strong movement to break away from
traditional/feudal society.



Quote:

I myself am familiar with 雷雨，not 球状闪电

Not to worry, you still have another month to finish reading it










Jenny311 -

I totally agree with Imron, you said it very well. It's difficult for me to express this meaning
in English, but you just helped me out! Thanks!

On the other hand, it also shows that the wife is not a traditional Chinese wife who is surposed
to listen to the husband totally. She was influenced by the outside world, she wanted to revolt
the feudal power, but did not succeed eventually. Again, this also shows "a strong movement to
break away from traditional/feudal society" at the time.

Imron, 你让我刮目相看了！

indecision -

hello everyone!
for my graphic design A2 level coursework we have to write an essay on a topic of our choice. my
chosen title is:

"The Impact of the West on Chinese Design"

we have to present the essay creatively and make it all pretty, so my teacher suggested that it
would be good to have the title written in Chinese as well, since the essay is about Chinese
design. can anyone translate this title for me?

i've been trying to teach myself cantonese, but i think it would probably be better to have it in
standard written chinese. it doesn't have to be that exact phrasing - if it's easier it could be
translated from "how the west changed Chinese Design" or something, so long as the basic meaning
is the same. but any help you could give would be much appreciated!

This is a question about George Kennedy the Yale sinologist -- as I remember he invented his own
system for romanizing Chinese. This was supposed to work for multiple topolects. However, I have
forgotten any of the details and the books are out of print. Does anyone have any information
about this?

The texts should be one of the following, but I cannot remember which:
George A Kennedy. Interpretation of the Ch'un-Ch'iu. JAOS v62 #1 (1942) 40-48

JOAS is a periodical (Journal of Asian Studies), and should be available for copying at any
library with a decent Chinese section. Go to your local (university) library, if they don't have
this issue of this periodical, they can request them for loan from another library. The same goes
for books, actually.

Good luck!

So, here is a silly question, but I am wondering how you have conveyed "you ROCK" in Chinese? I
have a bunch of nice little "standard bookish" things to say (tai hao le, feichang, bang, ..jile,
etc), but I can't think of a term that might convey all that "you ROCK" (the student's upper case)
in Chinese. Just wondering what kinds of things people might be saying for this.

gato -

你真棒！










xiaojiang216 -

你盖了帽儿！










bhchao -

You can say 你太屌了!

My elementary classmates and I said it all the time at school in Taiwan.










imron -

你真牛！










gato -

Note that "牛" and "屌" might be considered profanity by some. They are also often used to used
to refer to someone with guanxi rather than ability.










skylee -

Except "你真棒！" , I suspect not all the expressions provided are understood by everyone
(well I haven't heard of "你盖了帽儿" ). Am I right?










Han-tiger -

There are different expressions to convey “you rock” in different places of China, so I
couldn’t agree more with skylee that not all the expressions provided are understood by
everyone. But the following ones I think can be commonly understandable to our Chinese.

A. 你真棒！OR 你太棒了！
B. 你真厉害！OR 你太厉害了！
C. 你真牛！OR 你太牛了！

Here “真” and “太” are an adverb, “真” means really, truly, or indeed. While
“太” means very.

Where in Beijing, people like to use “牛逼” or “强” in their daily oral communications
instead of “棒”, “厉害”, and “牛”.

These expressions can be used in a very informal occasion where to praise some one who is giving
his or her friends a surprise as achieving something unusual or significant. But, “牛逼” is
a hot phrase used by Beijing guys. It is impolite or kinds of rude for a guy to say “牛逼”
to a girl.










xiaojiang216 -



Quote:

I suspect not all the expressions provided are understood by everyone (well I haven't heard of
"你盖了帽儿"). Am I right?

Yeah, most of these are 方言

盖了帽儿了 is 北京话
吊 is from 台湾

Would 棒 and 牛 be understood by most Mandarin speakers? Do they have 方言 origin?










muyongshi -

棒 would definitely be understood but I don't know about 牛
