Module II: School Subjects

模块二：学校课程

Scenario 2.1: An Dawei and Ma Xiaoqing talk about which subjects they like and dislike.
MX: AD: MX:	李明说你是个数学天才。哪里，你别听他的。我是挺喜欢数学的，不过我也很喜欢语言和文化。你呢？我最怕数学了。所以我选了文科，这样我就不用学数理化了。	说	shuō	to say
		数学	shùxué	mathematics
		天才	tiāncái	genius
		听	tīng	to listen to
		挺	tǐng	very
		语言	yǔyán	language
		文化	wénhuà	culture
		选	xuǎn	to select
		文科	wénkē	arts
		这样	zhèyàng	in this way
		不用	búyòng	no need to
		数理化	shùlǐhuà	math, physics, chemistry

Note: 别听他的means “Don’t listen to him.” 挺 means “very, quite.” It is often used in informal conversations. 的 often occurs at the end of the sentence. 数理化 is an abbreviation of 数学、物理、化学, and refers to scientific subjects in Chinese. 不用means “don’t need to.” It is the negative counterpart of 得 (děi, need to/must/have to).

Scenario 2.2: Ma Xiaoqing asks An Dawei how his Chinese class has been going.
MX: AD: MX:	你的中文课怎么样？还可以。听和说越来越容易，读也还可以，不过写汉字，对我来说，还是挺难的。别着急，慢慢来。	越来越	yuè lái yuè	more and more
		容易	róngyì	easy
		读	dú	to read
		不过	búguò	but
		写	xiě	to write
		汉字	hànzì	Chinese characters
		着急	zháojí	worried
		慢	màn	slow
Note: 对我来说 means “to me.” Note that it occurs only at the beginning of sentences. 别着急，慢慢来literally means “Don’t worry. Go slow.” It is the common way to comfort people, as in “No rush. Take your time.”
