S: \u6211\u600e\u4e48\u7406\u89e3\u9519\u4e86 wo3 zen3me li3jie3 cuo4 le?<\/p>\n

M: \u6211\u5750\u8f6f\u5367\uff0c\u4f60\u5750\u786c\u5ea7 wo3 zuo4 ruan3 wo4, ni3 zuo4 ying4 zuo4.<\/p>\n

S: There’s nothing I can do. \u6211\u6ca1\u529e\u6cd5 wo3 mei2 ban4fa!<\/p>\n

M: Dui4 le! Ni3 mei2 ban4fa.<\/p>\n

M: Ok, time to look at what we said.<\/p>\n

S: \u66fc\u4e3d\uff0c\u4f60\u4e70\u4e86\u54ea\u79cd\u7968? That’s easy. ML, you bought what kind of ticket? ni3 mai3 le nei3 zhong3 piao4?<\/p>\n

M: And note the measure word for ticket, it’s zhang1. \u6211\u4e70\u4e86\u4e00\u5f20\u786c\u5ea7\u7968\uff0c\u4e00\u5f20\u8f6f\u5367\u7968 wo3 mai3 le yi4 zhang1 ying4zuo4 piao4, yi4 zhang1 ruan3 wo4 piao4.<\/p>\n

S: \u554a\uff0c\u4f60\u5750\u786c\u5ea7\u5417\uff1fNi3 zuo4 ying4zuo4 ma?<\/p>\n

M: You misunderstand \u4f60\u7406\u89e3\u9519\u4e86<\/p>\n

S: wo3 li3jie3 cuo4 le. \u7406\u89e3 LI JIE li3 jie3, both third tone, mean to ‘understand’ li3jie3. \u9519 CUO cuo4, we know, means ‘wrong’. So, li3jie3 cuo4 le, ‘understand wrongly’, to ‘misunderstand’ . Now everybody say, Sorry, I misunderstood.<\/p>\n

M: Hen3 hao3. \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77\uff0c\u6211\u7406\u89e3\u9519\u4e86 dui4 bu4 qi3, wo3 li3jie3 cuo4 le.<\/p>\n

S: And I said, \u6211\u600e\u4e48\u7406\u89e3\u9519\u4e86? \u600e\u4e48 remember, means ‘how’, ‘in what way’, as in, How could I misunderstand, wo3 zen3me li3jie3 cuo4 le? Say it, wo3 zen3me li3jie3 cuo4 le?<\/p>\n

M: And I said, I go soft sleeper, you go hard seat. \u6211\u5750\u8f6f\u5367\uff0c\u4f60\u5750\u786c\u5ea7, wo3 zuo4 ruan3 wo4, ni3 zuo4 ying4 zuo4. Noticed the verb we use here? Right, it’s ‘to sit’, zuo4. For Chinese, they ‘sit’ almost all kinds of vehicles, \u5750\u706b\u8f66\u3001\u5750\u6c7d\u8f66\u3001\u5750\u98de\u673a\uff0cetc. And no matter it’s hard seat or soft sleeper, just to ‘sit’, zuo4.<\/p>\n

S: I said, \u6211\u6ca1\u529e\u6cd5. \u529e\u6cd5 BAN FA ban4fa, means ‘way’ or ‘method’, ban4fa. So ‘wo3 mei2 ban4fa’ literally means ‘I have no method’. In real English, ‘There’s nothing I can
do.’ Say it, wo3 mei2 ban4fa, wo3 mei2 ban4fa. You could also say, wo3 mei2you3 ban4fa, which means exactly the same, yi2 yang4.<\/p>\n

S: To finish, our short chat. \u66fc\u4e3d\uff0c\u4f60\u4e70\u4e86\u54ea\u79cd\u7968 ni3 mai3 le nei3 zhong3 piao4?<\/p>\n
