M: Dàji\u0101h\u01ceo! Hu\u0101nyíng sh\u014dut\u014dng Xiànzài Xué Hàny\u01d4, w\u01d2shì ML.<\/p>\n

S: W\u01d2shì Stuart. J\u012bn ti\u0101n shì fùxí kè, and we’ll repeat most things we learned last week. Don’t forget to say the sentences with us as loudly as you can, very im<\/em>portant.<\/p>\n

M: Now we start. Stuart, My parents gave me a computer as a birthday present! w\u01d2de fùm\u01d4 sòngg\u011biw\u01d2 yìtái diànn\u01ceo zuòwéi sh\u0113ngrì l\u01d0wù. \u6211\u7684\u7236\u6bcd\u9001\u7ed9\u6211\u4e00\u53f0\u7535\u8111\u4f5c\u4e3a\u751f\u65e5\u793c\u7269\u3002<\/p>\n

S: Fù is father and m\u01d4 is mother, put them together and we get the word ‘parents’, fùm\u01d4, \u7236\u6bcd\u3002<\/p>\n

M: And remember the word ‘zuòwéi’? Right, it means ‘as’, as in ‘he does very well as a teacher’, \u4f5c\u4e3a\u4e00\u4e2a\u8001\u5e08\uff0c\u4ed6\u505a\u7684\u5f88\u597d\u3002<\/p>\n

S: And these days, ML is crazy a<\/em>bout surfing the web. Zhèj\u01d0ti\u0101n, ML míshàngle shàngw\u01ceng. \u8fd9\u51e0\u5929\uff0c\u66fc\u4e3d\u8ff7\u4e0a\u4e86\u4e0a\u7f51\u3002Míshàng, means to be fascinated by, engrossed in, or crazy a<\/em>bout.<\/p>\n

M: It’s often used in the following structure: sb. míshàngle do sth. For instance, w\u01d2 míshàngle kàn diàny\u01d0ng. I am addicted to movies. \u6211\u8ff7\u4e0a\u4e86\u770b\u7535\u5f71\u3002Remember? Diàny\u01d0ng, the electric shadow, means movie.<\/p>\n

S: W\u01d2 míshàngle d\u01cew\u01cengqíu. I’m crazy a<\/em>bout playing tennis. \u6211\u8ff7\u4e0a\u4e86\u6253\u7f51\u7403\u3002<\/p>\n

M: And then I told Stuart, ‘I send emails, visit different websites, and chat quite often.’ W\u01d2 f\u0101 diànz\u01d0 yóujiàn, f\u01cengwèn bùtóngde w\u01cengzhàn, hái j\u012bngcháng liáoti\u0101n. \u6211\u53d1\u7535\u5b50\u90ae\u4ef6\uff0c\u8bbf\u95ee\u4e0d\u540c\u7684\u7f51\u7ad9\uff0c\u8fd8\u7ecf\u5e38\u804a\u5929\u3002<\/p>\n

S: ML sounds like a real netnurd!<\/p>\n

M: Stuart, Do you like the Internet? \u4f60\u559c\u6b22\u4e92\u8054\u7f51\u5417\uff1fN\u01d0 x\u01d0hu\u0101n hùliánw\u01ceng ma?<\/p>\n

S: d\u0101ngrán. W\u01d2 x\u01d0hu\u0101n hùliánw\u01ceng. \u6211\u559c\u6b22\u4e92\u8054\u7f51\u3002W\u01d2y\u011b x\u01d0hu\u0101n f\u0101 diànz\u01d0 yóujiàn. Y\u012bnwéi t\u0101 yòukuài yòuf\u0101ngbian. \u56e0\u4e3a\uff0c\u5b83\u53c8\u5feb\u53c8\u65b9\u4fbf\u3002<\/p>\n

M: Still remember the \u53c8…\u53c8… structure? It means ‘both…and…’. For instance, Stuart is both clever and cute. Stuart yòuc\u014dngming yòu k\u011b’ài.<\/p>\n

S: A very good example! And if you feel both hungry and tired, you can say, w\u01d2 yòulèi yòu’è. \u6211\u53c8\u7d2f\u53c8\u997f\u3002<\/p>\n

M: One more. How do we say, the apple is both good to look at and to eat? Apple in Chinese is pínggu\u01d2, PING GUO, second tone third tone, \u82f9\u679c.<\/p>\n

S: Very good! H\u011bnh\u01ceo. Pínggu\u01d2 yòu h\u01ceokàn yòu h\u01ceoch\u012b. \u82f9\u679c\u53c8\u597d\u770b\u53c8\u597d\u5403\u3002<\/p>\n

S: Oh dear! W\u01d2bù x\u01d0hu\u0101n zài w\u01cengshàng liáoti\u0101n. \u6211\u4e0d\u559c\u6b22\u5728\u7f51\u4e0a\u804a\u5929. I don’t like chatting on the net. My typing speed is too slow. Nàshì y\u012bnwéi w\u01d2de d\u01cezì sùdù tàimànle. \u6211\u7684\u6253\u5b57\u901f\u5ea6\u592a\u6162\u4e86\u3002<\/p>\n

M: You can practice more! N\u01d0 k\u011by\u01d0 du\u014d liànxíliànxí.<\/p>\n

S: No way! Méiménr! \u6ca1\u95e8\u513f\uff01I prefer to save the time and find some more interesting things to do.<\/p>\n

M: Lazy Stuart!<\/p>\n

S: Not at all. I’m going home to do my spring cleaning. See you guys!<\/p>\n

M: Míngti\u0101njiàn!
