Hi, I&rsquo;m Cam. And beside me is Yajie.<br \/>  \tYajie: Zao shang hao.&nbsp; In the next 5 minutes, we are going to learn how to apologize and make excuses in Chinese, which should come in handy!&nbsp;<br \/>  \tCam: No kidding!&nbsp; I&rsquo;m looking forward to this show.&nbsp; Let&rsquo;s check Key Words of the Day.<\/p>\n<p>  \t<strong>********** Key words of the day *********<\/strong><br \/>  \tToday we&rsquo;ll learn how to say sorry in Chinese. \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77, \u62b1\u6b49 \u6ca1\u5173\u7cfb or \u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48.&nbsp; For more explanation, stay tuned with today&rsquo;s Chinese Studio on China Radio International.<br \/>  \t******************<\/p>\n<p>  \tYajie: Both \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 and \u62b1\u6b49mean &lsquo;sorry&rsquo;. So when you&rsquo;ve done something wrong, you can use either of them to show your regret.<br \/>  \tCam: So what are the tones?<br \/>  \tYajie:&nbsp; \u5bf9, dui, is in the forth falling tone. \u4e0d is of the same tone, bu, \u4e0d. \u8d77, qi, third tone, \u8d77. All together, \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 means &lsquo;sorry&rsquo;.<br \/>  \tCam: Dui bu qi.&nbsp; I can use that when I bump into someone on the subway.<br \/>  \tYajie: Besides \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77, \u62b1\u6b49 can also be applied in the same case.<\/p>\n<p>  \tCam:&nbsp; bao qian.<br \/>  \tYajie: If you feel really sorry, you&rsquo;d put \u771f in front. \u771f, zhen, first tone. It is like hen which we&rsquo;ve learned before.&nbsp; Zhen means &lsquo;really&rsquo;. \u771f\u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77. \u771f\u62b1\u6b49 &ndash; I&#39;m very sorry.<br \/>  \tCam: Yajie, \u771f\u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77, \u771f\u62b1\u6b49.<br \/>  \tYajie: It&#39;s ok, i&#39;m going to forgive you.\u6ca1\u5173\u7cfb. That doesn&rsquo;t matter.<br \/>  \tCam: \u6ca1\u5173\u7cfb,&nbsp; Doesn&rsquo;t matter.<br \/>  \tYajie: Correct. In addition to \u6ca1\u5173\u7cfb, \u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48 has the same meaning. Literally, it means it&#39;s nothing.<br \/>  \tCam: Mei shen me.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s nothing.&nbsp; I think I&rsquo;ve got it. Here are more examples on how to apologize and reply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversations 1:<\/p>\n<p>  \tYajie: As I said, \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 and \u62b1\u6b49both mean &lsquo;sorry&rsquo;. But there are slight differences between them. First, \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 is more casual and \u62b1\u6b49 is more formal. So\u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 is more common in our daily life.<br \/>  \tCam: Second, \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 also means &lsquo;Excuse me&rsquo; while \u62b1\u6b49 doesn&rsquo;t. For example, if I want to get off a crowded bus, I could say \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 when shouldering my way out. Here \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 means &lsquo;Excuse me&rsquo;. It&rsquo;ll sound strange if replaced by \u62b1\u6b49. Here is another example.<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation 2:<\/p>\n<p>  \tCam:&nbsp; For example, excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the bus station?&nbsp; How would I answer that?&nbsp;<br \/>  \tYajie:&nbsp; A negative reply can be\u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77\uff0c\u6211\u4e0d\u77e5\u9053\u3002Sorry, I don&rsquo;t know.<br \/>  \tCam:&nbsp; And then I could say mei guanxi.&nbsp; It doesn&rsquo;t matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation 3:<\/p>\n<p>  \tCam: Got it? Hope so. Now let&rsquo;s look back at the key points of today&rsquo;s lesson.<\/p>\n<p>  \t******** Key Words reminder<br \/>  \tNow you know how to apologize Chinese. \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 or \u62b1\u6b49. The response is usually \u6ca1\u5173\u7cfb or \u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48.<\/p>\n<p>  \t***********<\/p>\n<p>  \tYajie: Well, that&rsquo;s it for today. Oh, almost forgot. I have one more thing for you, Cam. In Chinese, a trouble maker is nicknamed as \u6363\u86cb\u9b3c, literally, Smash Egg Devil. Do you like the title?<br \/>  \tCam: It doesn&rsquo;t sound friendly, doesn&rsquo;t it? But I&rsquo;ll remember that and I&rsquo;ll be sure to use it on somebody!&nbsp;<br \/>  \tYajie: Time to wind up this show. Today&rsquo;s question of the day is:&nbsp; How do you say, I&rsquo;m sorry in Chinese?&nbsp; You can send your answer to Chinese@crifm.com.&nbsp;<br \/>  \tCam: And if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions about our show, email us at that same address.&nbsp; It is Chinese@crifm.com.&nbsp; And visit us on our website anytime at en.chinabroadcast.cn, and click Learn Chinese.<br \/>  \tYajie:&nbsp; See you tomorrow!<br \/>  \tCam:&nbsp; Mingtian jian!<\/p>\n<p>  \t(Written by Wang Anjing)<\/p>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-1205848573\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cam: It&#39;s time to Perfect Chinese your way in only 5 minutes a day.&nbsp; Welcome to Chinese Studio.
