Culture Highlights
@ Most college students in China live in on-campus dormitories,
typically with four students to a room, To alleviate crowding, many
universities have invested in off-campus “student apartments”
ADE /F EXE (xuéshéng gongyi) in recent years.
Municipally-funded colleges may have stu-
dents who commute. Government-supported
boarding schools for elementary, middle, and
high school students can be found in remote
rural areas. There are also private and
expensive boarding schools. Living conditions
at these schools vary. Coed dormitories are
trent cn A student apartment number plate
© Because homonyms abound in Chinese, there is sometimes a need to
disambiguate. For instance, Zhang Tianming’s family name
" % es
#f&/ 4K (Zhang) sounds the same as another family name = (Zhang).
Therefore, to distinguish one from the other, it is necessary to explain how
to write the character One common way to do that is to take the character
apart, so Zhang Tianming’s family name is said to be 4 Fe HR/ 4 KAR
(gong chang Zhang) as opposed to = -F-3 (Ii z80 Zhang), with 3R/ HK
(zhang) being made up of 4 (gong) and #¢/+ (chang), and (zhang)
being made up of (Ii) and “F> (240). Another method of disambiguation
is to use the family name in a disyllabic context or reference the same last
name from a famous Chinese person. For instance, to differentiate the
surname 2 (Jiang) from another with an identical pronunciation
& (Jiang), one may say, Fe2E #9 3L/ KIL AY 2 (Changjiang de
Jiang), AS KAA EZ (ba shi Jiang Taigong de Jiang), [it’s] the
Jiang in Changjiang, (the Yangtze River), not the Jiang in Jiang Taigong
(a famous historical figure).

1, The Dynamic Particle J (I)
The dynamic particle J indicates that an action has occurred. It can appecr either after
a verb or at the end of a sentence. When J appears after a verb, it signals the occurrence
of an action. There is usually a time phrase in the sentence.

Notice that J is not the equivalent of the past tense. The action can take place in the

Sometimes when J appears after the object it also indicates occurrence of an ection.

(What did you do yesterday?)

Sometimes there isn’t a time phrase in the sentence. The time implied is “just now” or “up

If there is an object after the verb and, the object is usually quantified, as in @ and
the first clause of @. Under certain circumstances, the object need not be quantified in any
way:

When there are two verb phrases in a sentence and the first verb phrase is followed by
the particle J, the two actions denoted by the verbs are consecutive. The second action
begins when the first one is completed.

Zhang Tianming:
Some people like to live on campus. They think it’s both convenient
and safe. Some people like to live off campus because off-campus
housing is cheaper. I live off campus. Besides wanting to save some
money, [also want my freedom. On top of that, it’s not necessarily so
convenient to live on campus.
Really? Then F'll move off campus, too, in the future.
You've just arrived, so it’s good for you to live on campus and get
used to school life. If you want to live off campus later, I can help you
find a place.
OK. If I want to move later, I'll definitely ask for your help.
‘There’s no one in front of you now. I'll help you move your baggage

Culture Highlights
@ Chinese graduate students have many more housing options than undergraduates. Besides
campus housing, graduate students can also rent apartments off campus. Married and
part-time graduate students can live at home.
® Chinese universities’ accommodations for international students % 4 E/E
(liaxuéshéng) vary. Typically, international students live in designated buildings. Some
share a communal bathroom, but most have private bathrooms. In general, amenities are
comparable to what students may be accustomed to at home. Both single rooms and
double rooms are available. In some programs, international students can share a room
with a Chinese roommate. Each floor has a laundry room with clotheslines and drying
racks; dryers are not common, Neither are communal kitchens, Internet access is often
available for a fee. Universities with a sizeable international student population tend to
have many stores and restaurants that cater to them. Food is relatively inexpensive and
variety endless in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai

Zhang Tianming’s room is not very big: two people can live there. His roommate has
already arrived. There isn’t a lot of furniture in the room, Against the windows are two
desks, and in front of each desk there is a chair. Next to the desks are [two] beds, upon
which are quilts and blankets. Facing the beds are two wardrobes with some clothes
hanging inside, Next to the door are two bookshelves, still empty.
It’s so hot. How come there’s no air conditioning in the room?
This building is rather old. I used to live here as a freshman,
The bathroom is pretty small, too. It must be very inconvenient to
live here, right?
No, it’s very convenient here. The student cafeteria is right
downstairs, and next to it there is a small store selling daily necessities
and stationery. The classroom buildings are not far from here, only a
five- or six-minute walk.
Is it convenient to do laundry here?
Extremely convenient. On this floor there are three washing machines
and three dryers.
Is it noisy here?
No, it’s not. The major roads are far from here.
Thear that school cafeteria food is, generally speaking, not very good.
What about here?
You're right. The food in the cafeteria is really not that good.
Then what should I do?
Don’t worry. There are many restaurants nearby. There’s even a
Chinese restaurant.
I think there aren’t that many good Chinese restaurants in America.
That's not necessarily true. The food at that Chinese restaurant nearby
is very authentic. My girlfriend and I go there all the time.
Really? Then could you take me there in a few days to check it out?
Sure. No problem.Lesson2- #4 © 69

establishments tend to be raucous, multistoried affairs. They almost always include private
banquet rooms, which may or may not include a 10 to 15 percent service charge or a
minimum consumption charge.
© The most basic and best-known technique in Chinese cooking is stir-frying (#Y", chao),
which is traditionally done in a heavy cast iron wok. Other common techniques include
SLI /ZLIE (hongshio, braising in soy sauce) and YA 2R/ TH A (aingzhéng,
steaming fresh lightly seasoned food). The three must-haves when cooking Chinese food
are green onion (4/2, cong), ginger (3 /H, jiang), and garlic (2&/#®, swan).

four Chinese provinces: Sichuan, Guangdong, Shandong, and Jiangsu, famous for their
distinct cuisines, collectively called the “Four Great Culinary Schools” (UK 3% A/
VIA A, si da cai xi). The telltale fiery and tingling taste of Sichuan cooking (J1] 32,
Chuan cai) comes from its two main seasonings: chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorn.
Hot bean paste is another common ingredient. Best known outside China is the far milder
Cantonese (BE 9/J~ AR, Guangdong) cooking (8 3/4 HX, vue cai), which takes
advantage of the region’s bountiful fresh seasonal produce and seafood. Shandong

1 ‘Comment Sentence Structure
If someone, something, or some event is already known—in other words, ifit is no longer
new information to the speaker or the listener—then it should appear at the beginning of
a Chinese sentence. The positioning of known information at the beginning of a sentence
is an important characteristic of Chinese and is referred to as a “topic-comment” sentence
structure in which a “topic” is mentioned in the first part of the sentence and commented
on in the latter part of the sentence. Known information can also include information
that has already been mentioned or activities that are taken for granted, such as eating,
sleeping, or students going to classes, doing homework, etc.

Today is a weekend, and he has already finished his homework, so Zhang Tianming
calls Ke Lin and says that he and his girlfriend Lisa would like to eat Chinese food. He
asks Ke Lin if he would like to go. Ke Lin says it so happens that he also wants to have
Chinese food, so he asks Zhang Tianming to wait for him outside the dorm. He'll come
pick him up.
Half an hour later Ke Lin’s car arrives. Zhang Tianming and Lisa get into the car and
see a girl. Ke Lin introduces her, saying that she is an international student from Chira
named Lin Xuemei. In a few minutes they are at the Chinese restaurant,Lesson3 + #4888 SUPE JL

Thanks. Lisa, Tianming, what would you like to eat?
What's delicious here?
Their chicken is done very well. So is their fish, especially steamed fish.
Te tastes great.
Their beef with Chinese broccoli is also quite good, both tender and
fragrant.
Can we order a soup?
Of course. Their spinach and tofu soup is very good. Let’s order one.
Let’s order another vegetable dish.
Yes, yes.
‘Are you ready to order?
Yes. A steamed fish, a beef with Chinese broccoli, a spinach ard tofu
soup. What fresh vegetables do you have today?
How about baby bok choy?
ine, Waitress, we'd like our food light. Please don’t make it too salty.
Not too much oil, no MSG.
Please bring us four glasses of ice water first and give us some more
napkins.
No problem. Oh, that’s right. Do you want rice?
‘We don’t “want rice” [like beggars]. We'd like four bowls of rice.
You're right. You'd like four bowls of rice.
Lin Xuemei, Ke Lin says that the Chinese dishes here are very
authentic. Is it true?
‘Their dishes are very good, but not as good as the ones in our
restaurants in Hangzhou.
My parents say that the food is very different all over China. Which
place has the best food?
That depends on your personal preferences. Take me for example. I
like it sweet. That's why I like Shanghai cuisine. Ke Lin loves spicy
food, so he likes Sichuan and Hunan food. If you like your food light,
you can have Cantonese dishes...
Xuemei, say no more. My mouth is watering. ... Let’s go to China
over the winter break.104
Integrated Chinese Level 2 Part 1 «Textbook
Lin Xuemei Go to China to have Chinese food? I'd consider it.

Culture Highlights
@ Bargaining is expected almost everywhere in
mainland China, Even in mid-priced department
stores, it doesn’t hurt to ask if you could get a
discount. That is because department stores
sometimes rent counter space to private vendors
and manufacturers. How much you end up
paying depends on your bargaining skills. Often,
you can start bargaining by cutting the offering
price as much as fifty percent, particularly when
buying clothes and shoes. However, there’s no
bargaining in supermarkets, large chain stores
like Wal-Mart, or upscale department stores, and
there is no sales tax in China.
@ 1 you open a personal bank account in China,
you will receive a deposit book along with an
ATM card. However, you won't receive a
checkbook since personal checking
accounts are not common in China.
Typically people pay for their purchases with
either cash or credit cards.
