Yajie: \u5927\u5bb6\u597d\uff0c\u6211\u662fYajie\u3002
Cam: Wo Shi Cam. It’s glad to have you again on Chinese Studio.  Hope you’re having a wo<\/em>nderful weekend.
Yajie: It’s a good time to relax and a good time to review the Chinese words and phrases we’ve learned this week.
Cam: That’s right. let’s hear sentences in the Week.<\/p>\n

Sentences in The Week<\/strong>
In the past week, we learned how to say sorry – \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 or \u62b1\u6b49. The respo<\/em>nse is usually \u6ca1\u5173\u7cfb or \u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48. Then, we learned a popular phrase\u600e\u4e48\u4e86 means: What’s wrong with you? \u4f60\u600e\u4e48\u4e86\uff1fWhat’s up with him? \u4ed6\u600e\u4e48\u4e86 And finally, we learned how to give a suggestion or ask for an opinion. ‘\u597d\u5417’, \u884c\u5417, \u53ef\u4ee5\u5417, \u600e\u4e48\u6837, \u597d\u4e0d\u597d, which all mean ‘Is it OK?’.
 
Cam: We learned quite a lot, didn’t we?
Yajie: (silence)
Cam: Hey, Yajie, wake up.
Yajie: Oh, \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77. \u62b1\u6b49\u3002I didn’t hear you.
Cam: Oh well. That doesn’t matter – Mei Guan Xi. Mei Shen Me. But what’s wrong with you? Ni Zen Me Le?
Yajie: I hate getting up early on Sunday!  Anyway I’m awake now… and I hope our listeners won’t forget how to ask what’s wrong with somebody or something.
Cam: That’s right. It’s ‘Somebody or something + \u600e\u4e48\u4e86(Zen Me Le)’. Listen to this:<\/p>\n

Co<\/em>nversation 1:<\/p>\n

Yajie: \u600e\u4e48\u4e86 means ‘What happened’, ‘What’s wrong with…’.
Cam: Ni Zen Me Le? What’s wrong with you?
Yajie: \u6211\u6709\u70b9\u513f\u5934\u75bc\u3002I have a little bit of a headache. \u5934\u75bc is headache.
Cam: \u6211\u6709\u70b9\u513f\u5934\u75bc\u3002(wo yo diar tou teng)
Yajie: So how do you say ‘What’s wrong with him’?
Cam: Easy. Ta Zen Me Le? And I also remember\u6454\u4f24 (shuai shang) means to hurt yourself in a fall. The whole co<\/em>nversation is: \u4ed6\u600e\u4e48\u4e86\uff1f(ta zen me le) What’s wrong with him? \u4ed6\u6454\u4f24\u4e86. (ta shuai shang le) He hurt himself in a fall. Yajie:  \u4ed6\u600e\u4e48\u4e86\uff1f\u4ed6\u6454\u4f24\u4e86In this case, \u4ed6 in the reply can be omitted. So the answer can be shortened to just \u6454\u4f24\u4e86.\u53bb\u533b\u9662\u3002Go to the hospital. We can change it into a question that actually gives a suggestion or asks for an opinion.
Cam: The key is to put at its end \u597d\u5417, \u884c\u5417, \u53ef\u4ee5\u5417, \u600e\u4e48\u6837, \u597d\u4e0d\u597d, which all mean ‘Is it OK?’, ‘How is it?’<\/p>\n

Co<\/em>nversation 2:<\/p>\n

Yajie: \u5750, means ‘to sit’.\u6211\u5750\u8fd9\u513f\uff0c\u884c\u5417 means “May I have a seat?”
Cam: \u6211\u5750\u8fd9\u513f\uff0c\u884c\u5417\uff1f(wo zuo zher xing ma)
Yajie: Wonderful. If I said \u884c, it means ‘OK’. In addition, \u597d\u7684, \u53ef\u4ee5all mean the same.
Cam: So a positive reply can be: \u884c, (xing) \u597d\u7684,(hao de) \u53ef\u4ee5. (ke yi). 
Yajie: \u4e00\u8d77\u53bb\u770b\u7535\u5f71\uff0c\u597d\u5417? \u4e00\u8d77, together. \u770b\u7535\u5f71, to watch a film
Cam: So let’s go to the cinema together, OK? \u4e00\u8d77\u53bb\u770b\u7535\u5f71\uff0c\u597d\u5417? (yi qi qu kan dian ying hao ma)
Yajie: \u665a\u4e0a\u53bb\u6ce1\u5427\uff0c\u600e\u4e48\u6837? \u665a\u4e0ameans evening, \u53bb\u6ce1\u5427, go to a pub. Let’s go to a pub tonight, OK?
Cam:  Yajie,wang shang qu pao ba zen me yang?
Yajie: dui bu qi… I have to work tonight! 
Cam: Yajie!  I guess I’ll have to ask someone else… So dui bu qi is a signal of ‘No’. I guess\u62b1\u6b49 is also appropriate here.
Yajie: Clever. \u62b1\u6b49 or \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 plus an excuse will be a perfect refusal.
Cam:  This is good times Yajie.  I am starting to use some of these phrases. 
Yajie: The secret is to tune into Chinese Studio wher everybody can perfect Chinese in o<\/em>nly 5 minutes a day.
Cam: I think so. Well, it’s time to wind up today’s review lesson – Fu Xi Ke. And today’s question is what you learned on Chinese Studio this past week? One example will be fine.<\/div>\n
