Module II: Tastes

模块二：南北风味

Scenario 2.1: Li Ming askes Zhang Wenshan for recommendations of a restaurant.
LM: ZhW: LM: ZhW: LM: ZhW: LM:	哥们儿，明天晚上我请齐音吃饭，你也去吧？好啊，去哪儿吃？我正在想呢。你有什么建议？川菜怎么样？又麻又辣，我最喜欢了。很多女生都怕辣，最好是清淡一点儿的。寿司怎么样？行。对了，马小青去不去？我不知道，你去问她吧。	哥们儿	gēmen’er	bros
		正在… 呢	zhèngzài… ne	(indicates continuous action)
		想	xiǎng	to think
		建议	jiànyì	suggestion
		川菜	Chuāncài	Sichuan dishes
		又…又…	yòu… yòu	both…, and…
		麻	má	numbing
		辣	là	spicy
		怕	pà	afraid
		最好	zuìhǎo	had better
		清淡	qīngdàn	light taste
		一点儿	yìdiǎn’er	more, -er
		寿司	shòusī	sushi
		对了	duìle	by the way
		她	tā	she, her
Note: 正在…呢 is a combination of the adverb正在 and the particle 呢. This pattern is attached to a verb to indicate continuous action. The pattern is: Subject + 正在 + Verb + 呢我正在想呢。 (lit. “I am thinking.”) 又…又… is an adverb pattern that means “both…and….” Note that又 is followed only by adjectives or verbs, rather than nouns or pronouns. The pattern indicates that the two states or actions exist at the same time. The pattern is: Subject + 又 +Adj.1 + 又 + Adj. 2 苹果又大又甜。 (lit. “The apples are both big and sweet.”) 一点儿 Note that 一点儿 usually follows an adjective in a comparative degree pattern. 寿司清淡一点儿 implies “Sushi is lighter (compared to others).”

Scenario 2.2: Zhang Wenshan and An Dawei talk about American food.
ZhW: AD: ZhW: AD:	大为，美国有什么好吃的？这个问题太难回答了。我自己很喜欢披萨和热狗。我也喜欢披萨，可是不太喜欢热狗。为什么你们叫它热狗？我不知道，我得查查。	好吃	hǎochī	delicious
		问题	wèntí	question
		太	tài	too, very
		难	nán	difficult
		回答	huídá	answer
		自己	zìjǐ	self
		披萨	pīsà	pizza
		热狗	règǒu	hot dog
		为什么	wèishéme	why
		它	tā	it
		查	chá	to look up
Note: 为什么 is a question word that means “why” and functions as an adverb. 为什么 can occur before the subject, or after the subject and before the verb. The pattern is: Subject + 为什么 + Verb + Object 你为什么去中国？ or 为什么 + Subject + Verb + Object 为什么你去中国？ (lit. “Why do you go to China”？) 查查is a reduplicated verb phrase to soften the tone.
