S: W\u01d2 shì Stuart. Ok, everybody say with ML, ‘today we learn Lesson 78′.<\/p>\n

M: Get ready, start. Zh\u01d4nbèi, k\u0101ish\u01d0. \u4eca\u5929\u6211\u4eec\u5b66\u7b2c\u4e03\u5341\u516b\u8bfe j\u012bn ti\u0101n w\u01d2men xué dì q\u012b shí b\u0101 kè.<\/p>\n

S: Now, we’ll learn another word for ‘time’ that we use, for example, when we want to say ‘I don’t have time’. And we’ll also learn ‘I have time’, ‘I have money’, and ‘I don’t have money’. Listen, and try to pick out the new words. A clue. ‘I have’ is \u6211\u6709 w\u01d2y\u01d2u. ‘I don’t have’ is \u6211\u6ca1\u6709 w\u01d2 méi y\u01d2u.<\/p>\n

M: Stuart, when are you going to Shanghai? \u4f60\u4ec0\u4e48\u65f6\u5019\u53bb\u4e0a\u6d77 n\u01d0 shénme shíhòu qù Shàngh\u01cei?<\/p>\n

S: I’m not going. I don’t have time, and I don’t have money. \u6211\u4e0d\u53bb\u3002\u6211\u6ca1\u6709\u65f6\u95f4\uff0c \u4e5f\u6ca1\u6709\u94b1 w\u01d2 bú qù. W\u01d2 méiy\u01d2u shíji\u0101n, y\u011b méiy\u01d2u qián.<\/p>\n

S: Poor Stuart.<\/p>\n

S: Ok, did you catch the new stuff? ML, say to everybody ‘I have time’.<\/p>\n

M: \u6211\u6709\u65f6\u95f4 wó y\u01d2u shíji\u0101n.<\/p>\n

S: So here’s another word for time. \u65f6\u95f4 SHI JIAN shíji\u0101n, 2nd tone 1st tone, shíji\u0101n.<\/p>\n

M: Remember we learnt \u4ec0\u4e48\u65f6\u5019 meaning ‘what time?’ ‘when?’, shénme shíhòu?<\/p>\n

S: Shíhòu and shíji\u0101n both mean ‘time’, but are used a bit differently. You’ll easily learn the difference as we use them.
Now I’ll ask ML is she has time to help me. Remember to ‘help’? Duìle. \u5e2e BANG b\u0101ng. Here goes. \u66fc\u4e3d\uff0c \u4f60\u6709\u65f6\u95f4\u5e2e\u6211\u5417 ní y\u01d2u shíji\u0101n b\u0101ng w\u01d2 ma?<\/p>\n
