A: Shifu, I'd like to have some clothes laundered.

B: Oh, what clothes? Let me have a look.
A: A business suit and a skirt. How much does that cost?
B: 60 yuan for a business suit; 20 yuan for a skirt.
A: H'm ...Can I pay you when I collect the clothes?
B: Yes. We always ask for payment at the time of collecting.
A: When can they be collected?
B: After three days. This is the receipt for collecting the clothes. Please put it
in a safe place.
A: Thanks. After three days ...that'll be the 8th. No, that won't do, as I'll need
this skirt on the morning of the 8th.
B: In that case, you can come and collect them on the evening of the 7th.
A: That's brilliant. One more question, can this kind of garment be washed in
water?
B: It should be all right.
A: I washed one myself, and got it pretty clean; but the garment was black before,
and now it's grey.
B: Oh, could it be that the water you used was too hot?

on everyone's behalf.
C: It'll soon be the Festival, so our work unit has distributed some food among the
staff. This is your share. We also bought you some fruit.
B: How are you now?
A: Just a cold. We installed an air conditioner in the house a few days ago, but we
were not used to it. After taking some medicine I feel much better these last few
days.
C: You should also take a good rest, and only come back to work when you're quite
better. Manager Wang will help arrange for the work in the company during your
absence.
A: That's good; very good. By the way, has that British delegation come yet?
B: Yes. They visited two factories of ours, and now they've gone to Shanghai.
A: Oh, I've washed all this fruit already. Let's eat while we chat.
C: We're here to visit a patient, and shouldn't let the patient treat us as guests.

B: Exactly.
A: It doesn't matter. My cold doesn't count as illness.

Lesson 13
接朋友

A：小李，你等了我很长时间了吧？
B：十多分钟了。
A：哎呀，我早就出来了，坐了一个多小时的车才到。
B：一个多小时？你从哪儿来呀？
A：从大学到火车站路不远，但是路上堵车，让你久等了。
B：没关系，我们的会下个星期一才开始呢，不会迟到！
A：你上次电话里说这次来北京只住一个星期，为什么不多呆几天呢？
B：我也想多呆几天，可是下个月我要出国，得快点儿回去办手续。
A：你要出国？去哪儿呀？
B：去英国。我要在那儿学习半年。
A：那下次办签证的时候再来北京吧。
B：不一定来了。英国大使馆现在在上海有个领事处，可以在那儿办签证。
A：那可够方便的！
B：是啊，我还听说现在办签证不需要等很长时间了。
A：那太好了。明天是周末，我带你去玩玩吧。
B：好啊。你知道我已经很长时间没来北京了。
A：来，我们去地铁站，去我家可以坐地铁。

B: More than 10 minutes.
A: Oh dear, I came out very early, but it took over an hour for me to get here by
bus.
B: Over an hour? Where have you come from?
A: From the university to the railway station, it's not a long journey. But there
were traffic jams on the way. So I've kept you waiting.
B: It doesn't matter. Our meeting won't start until next Monday, so we won't be
late.
A: You said on the phone last time that you'd stay only for a week on this visit to
Beijing. Why won't you stay for a few more days?
B: I'd like to stay for a few more days as well, but I'll be going abroad next
month, so have to hurry back for the formalities I have to go through.
A: You'll be going abroad? Where?
B: Britain. I'll study there for half a year.
A: Well, you can come to Beijing again, then, when you apply for a visa.
B: I won't necessarily come back. The British Embassy now has a consulate in
Shanghai. I can apply for a visa there.
A: That really is convenient.
B: Yes. I also heard that currently, you don't need to wait for a long time for the
result of a visa application.
A: That's very good indeed. Tomorrow is the weekend; let me take you out.
B: All right. You know I haven't paid a visit to Beijing for quite a long time.
A: Well, let's go to the underground station. We can go to my house by underground.

Lesson 14
谈出国

A：小李，最近怎么没有见到你？
B：啊，是小张，我最近去英国了，在那儿学习了半年。
A：又去英国了！你去过几次了？
B：三次，这次我还去了法国，巴黎真美，我还想再去一次。欸，你出国的事准备得怎么样了？
A：差不多了，正在等签证呢。
B：你检查身体了吗？
A：为什么要检查身体？我很健康，从来没得过什么病。
B：出国以前都得检查一下，这是手续。
A：我从来没检查过身体，都要检查什么呢？
B：他们给你透视、听心脏、量血压，看看是不是都很正常。
A：那我明天就去医务所。
B：去医务所不行，你得去大医院。
A：那么麻烦！
B：要是不麻烦，出国的人不就更多了吗？

A: Xiao Li, why haven't I seen you recently?

B: Ah, Xiao Zhang. I went to Britain and studied there for half a year.
A: To Britain again! How many times have you been there?
B: Three. This time I visited France as well; Paris is really beautiful, so I'd
like to visit it again. Anyway, how well have you prepared for the business of
going abroad?
A: Nearly there. I'm now waiting for the visa.
B: Have you had a health check?
A: Why do I need a health check? I'm very healthy, and have never suffered any
illness.
B: Everyone must have a health check before going abroad. It's part of the
formalities.
A: I've never had a health check. What needs to be checked up?
B: They'll give you an X-ray examination, listen to your heart, and take your blood
pressure, to see if everything is normal.
A: In that case, I'll go to the clinic tomorrow.
B: It won't do to go to the clinic. You'll have to go to a big hospital.
A: Such a nuisance!
B: If it were not a nuisance, there would be more people going abroad, wouldn't
there?

Lesson 15
在公园

A：时间过得可真快呀！
B：是啊，一转眼，树都绿了。你看，那边的花也开了。
A：可不是吗！冬天的时候，小张看到河上能滑冰，还以为东北不再会有夏天。
B：他也是广州人嘛！以前有人告诉我，东北的冬天冷得可怕，会冻掉耳朵。
A：那你的耳朵现在不是很好吗？
B：别提了，我以前也没来过东北啊，我只是在电视上和电影里看过雪。你呢？
A：我这是旧地重游。我是生在哈尔滨，可是六岁的时候就跟父母去了上海。
B：那你还记得东北吗？
A：我只记得小的时候堆雪人、打雪仗，别的就都忘了。
B：所以对你来说，东北也不是冷得可怕。
A：现在的冬天也不那么冷了，不是说全球各地都在变暖吗？

A: Time passes so quickly.

B: Yes. The trees have become all green in the twinkling of an eye. Look, the
flowers over there have too come out.
A: Quite true! When Xiao Zhang saw the river could be skated on last winter, he
thought that it would never be summer again in the Northeast.
B: That's because he too is a Cantonese. I was once told by someone that the winter
in the Northeast was so terribly cold that one's ears might freeze and drop off.
A: But your ears look quite all right now, don’t they?
B: Of course. I haven't been to the Northeast before either, and have seen snow
only on TV and in movies. What about you?
A: I'm revisiting old haunts. I was born in Harbin, but moved to Shanghai with my
parents when I was six.
B: Do you still remember the Northeast, then?
A: I only remember making a snowman and having a snowball fight when I was little,
and nothing more.
B: So the cold of the Northeast wasn't so terrible for you.
A: Nowadays the winter isn't that cold anyway. Don't they say that it's getting
warmer everywhere in the world?

Lesson 16

B: Have you seen that large building? It has "Ticket Office" written on it.

B: I know the door there is closed. You'll have to get in through the side door.
The front door is being repaired.
A: All right. Thanks.
B: Hey, wait a minute. After going in through the side door you'll have to go up to
the first floor. The ground floor is closed at the moment. Inland train tickets are
now being sold at the counters on the first floor.
A: Now I see. Thank you. Bye.
C: Next!
A: I'd like to buy a ticket for Xi'an tomorrow.
C: This is the advance bookings counter, and tomorrow's tickets are not sold here.
A: Does buying tomorrow’s tickets not count as advance booking?
C: Bookings should be made 3 days in advance.
A: But every other counter has a sign saying "Today's Tickets".
C: They sell today's tickets; that doesn't mean that they don't sell the next day's
tickets.

毛笔您要哪一种？

B：这种贵的质量当然更好，可是，这种便宜的卖得也不错。
A：我儿子想学书法，您看四块五的行不行啊？
B：学书法呀？那您买这种六块的吧，这种笔学生都很喜欢。
A：质量比四块五的好吗？
B：这种笔是写字用的，这些是画画用的。
A：刚才呀，我去了百货大楼，那儿的东西呀，都比这儿的贵。
B：百货大楼的东西品种也没有我们这儿的多，买笔还是得来专卖店。
A：那我就要这种吧。
B：好吧，给您开票，六块钱，您到对面去交钱。
A：麻烦您，给我挑挑。
B：您放心吧，给您挑好。

A: Excuse me, Miss. May I trouble you to show me a writing brush?
B: Please wait a moment... What kind of writing brush would you like?
A: What's the difference between the one for 4 kuai 50 and the one for 8 kuai?
B: This more expensive one is certainly better in quality, but the cheaper one
sells quite well, too.
A: My son wants to learn calligraphy; do you think the one for 4 kuai 50 would be
suitable?
B: To learn calligraphy? In that case, you may want to buy this one for 6 kuai. The
students all like this sort very much.
A: Is it better quality than the one for 4 kuai 50?
B: This is for writing, whereas those are for painting.
A: I went to the Baihuo Dalou just now; everything there is more expensive than
here.
B: Nor does the Baihuo Dalou have an assortment that is as good as we ours. So, to
buy writing brushes, you have to come to a specialized shop.
A: I'll take one of this sort, then.
B: Here's your invoice, and that'll be 6 kuai. Please go to the opposite side and
pay there.
A: May I trouble you to pick one for me?
B: Don't worry. I'll pick a nice one for you.

B: Yes, it is.
A: Hello, this is Wang Dapeng.
B: Oh, Hi.
A: Hi! Could you possibly tell me what's the English assignment for today?
B: Is it on grammar or reading?
A: What did you say? I didn't quite catch it. Say it louder!
B: I was asking you whether you meant the grammar or reading assignment.
A: The grammar assignment!
B: Oh, it's to do the exercises on page 102 of the textbook.
A: Hang on a minute; let me have a look. You haven't heard it wrong, have you?
There're far too many exercises on page 102.
B: I didn't hear it wrong; so just hurry up and do it.
A: Have you finished yours now?
B: I started to do it right after I came home, and still haven't finished it; I'm
not quite ready for tomorrow's exam either.
A: I haven't even started to prepare for it yet. So tonight I won't be able to
watch TV after dinner again.

A: The hurry got me all in a muddle.

A：欸，是新生吧，我来帮你拿行李。
B：这个我拿得动，谢谢，你帮我提那个吧。
A：你是哪个系的？
B：法律系的，你呢？
A：外语系。法律现在挺好，是热门。你看，法律系的大楼就在那边。
B：那么大呀！
A：是啊，最大的教室坐得下 130 多个人呢！
B：130 多个人一起上课，坐在后边的听得清楚吗？
A：听得清楚，有麦克风。
B：那这么多学生，老师记得住名字吗？
A：记不住更好啊，不想上的课就不上了。
B：不上课！那考试通得过吗？
A：没问题，你大学都考得上，别的考试你还怕通不过吗？
B：嗯......那你们外语系也是这么上课吗？
A：我们没有那么幸运，我们一个班最多才 15 个人，老师闭着眼睛都知道你在作什么呢。

A: Hey, you're a freshman, aren't you? Let me help with your luggage.
B: I can manage this one, thanks. Could you help me carry that one?
A: Which Department are you in?
B: The Law Department. And you?
A: The Foreign Languages Department. Law is quite a good subject now, as it's
really popular. Look, the Law Department building is just over there.
B: How large it is!
A: Yes, the largest classroom can seat more than 130 people!
B: In a class of over 130 students, can those in the back row hear the teacher
clearly?
A: Yes, there's a microphone.
B: With so many students, can the teacher remember every student's name, then?
A: Better if the teacher can't because you don't have to go to classes you don't
want to.
B: Not attend classes! Can you pass the exams, then?
A: No problem. You can pass the university entrance exam, so why worry about not
passing other exams?
B: H'm... do the students in your Foreign Languages Department take classes like
this as well?
A: We're not so lucky. The largest class of ours has only 15 students in it, and
the teacher knows what you're doing even with his eyes closed.
Lesson 21
学生宿舍

A：是小王啊，请进吧。
B：你好，你在忙什么呀？
A：后天就要放假了，我把东西整理一下。欸，你把椅子上的盒子拿开，坐会儿吧。
B：我找你有事儿。我把我的电话卡给弄丢了，你可不可以把你的先借给我用一下？
A：没问题。不过你得先帮我把这个箱子拿开，要不，我没法儿拿电话卡，它把桌子挡上了。
B：你为什么把东西都放在这个大箱子里？多重啊？把它们分开放在小箱子里，拿起来就方便多了。
A：来吧，你还借不借电话卡？
B：借，借。这个箱子很宽，要不要我把这个椅子先拿出去？
A：不用了，咱们把这个箱子放在椅子上，转一下儿，不就出去了吗？
B：好，我试试。把它拿到外面去吗？
A：对！一会儿有车来把它拉回家。
B：好，我先把门打开。哎，谁在外面把门给锁上了！
A：是吗？
B：这么热的天，开什么玩笑，一会儿就把人给闷死了！

A: Xiao Wang, it's you. Please do come in.

B: Hello. What are you busy with?
A: The vacation will start the day after tomorrow, and I'm tidying my things up.
Well, move away the box on the chair and have a seat.
B: I've come to ask a favour. I've lost my phone card, and wonder if you can lend
me yours for a while?
A: No problem. But first you have to help me move this suitcase away; otherwise, I
can't get my phone card because it's blocking the table.
B: Why did you put everything in this large suitcase? How heavy it is! If you have
your things divided up and put them in smaller suitcases, it'd be much easier to
move them around.
A: Come on, do you still want to borrow the phone card?
B: Yes, of course. This suitcase is very wide. Would you like me to take this chair
out first?
A: There's no need to. We can put this suitcase on the chair, and turn it around;
then it'll be out, won't it?
B: All right, let me have a try. Are we supposed to move it outside?
A: That's right! A car will be soon here to move it back home.
B: All right, let me open the door first. Eh? Somebody has locked the door from the
outside.
A: Really?
B: On such a hot day, what kind of joke is this─ it'll soon suffocate us.

Lesson 22
校园警察

A：老王，饭好了！老王，吃饭啦，你看什么呢？
被一本杂志给吸引住啦？有什么好看的？
B：这儿有一篇报道，讲的是一个中学生的钱包被偷了。
A：钱包被偷了有什么新鲜的呀？
B：有意思的是，他的钱包被偷了以后就发誓要抓那些小偷。
A：那他抓到了吗？
B：他没抓到偷他钱的那个小偷，可是他一年就抓到了三个小偷。
A：啊，那他成了警察了，那些小偷怎么就都被他给碰上了呢？
B：就是啊，很巧是不是？而且他才十七岁。所以啊，他在学校被他同学叫作“校园警察”。
A：欸，菜都凉了，先吃饭吧，一边吃一边讲，好不好？

A: Lǎo Wáng, fàn hǎo le! Lǎo Wáng, chīfàn la, nǐ kàn shénme ne?

A: Lao Wang, dinner is ready! Lao Wang, it's time for dinner. What're you reading?
A: Fascinated by a magazine? What's so special about it?
B: Here's a report, about a middle school student whose wallet was stolen.
A: What's so strange about a wallet being stolen?
B: What's interesting is that, after his wallet was stolen, he vowed to catch the
thieves.
A: Has he caught them, then?
B: He didn't catch the thief who stole his money, but he did catch three thieves
within a year.
A: Ah, he has become a policeman, then. How could those thieves all bump into him?
B: Exactly. It's a coincidence, isn't it? Besides, he's only 17. So he's been
called a "campus policeman" by his classmates in the school.
A: Well, the food is getting cold. Let's eat first, and we can talk about it while
we eat, can't we?
