2. D-2 Language Notes
1. When asking others for help, one polite way is to begin the request with 麻烦 (máfan).
2. The Chinese word for boarding pass is either 登机牌(dēng jī pái, lit., boarding card) or 登机证 (dēng jī zhèng, lit., boarding certificate).
3. In mainland China, boarding gates are called 登机口. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, they are called 登机门and闸口(zhákŏu) respectively.
Grammar 的 (de), 得 (de), 地 (de) Compared
D-3
A. 的 (de) usually follows an attributive but not an adverbial. The attributive can be formed by an adjective, a noun, or a verbal phrase.
1. pretty girl:
2. older brother’s company:
3. my bedroom:
4. a recently purchased plane ticket:
5. the cake Mom made for us:
In most cases, 的 (de) is followed by a noun, as seen in (1) to (5), but it can also precede an adjective or verb if that adjective or verb serves as the subject or object in the sentence.
6. 南京的热[是有名的]。(Nanjing’s heat/That Nanjing is hot [is well-known].)
7. 他的死 [大家最近才听说]。 (His death/That he has died [became known to everyone only recently].)
D-4
B. 地 (de) links an adverb or adverbial to a following verb. An adjective, an adverb, or a set phrase can serve as an adverbial if followed by 地 (de).
1. to eat slowly:
2. to say happily:
3. to walk straight forward:
4. 好好儿地玩儿 (to have some real fun)
C. 得 is used after a verb or an adjective to connect it with a descriptive complement or a complement of degree.
1. to run fast:
2. to cook well:
3. to leap up with joy:
4. unbelievably dangerous:
D-5 Compare the following two sentences:
5. 他高兴地唱着歌走回宿舍。 (He sang happily on his way back to the dorm.)
6. 他高兴得唱起歌来了。 (He was so happy that he started to sing.)
In (5) 高兴 (gāo xìng) is used to describe the manner of his singing. In (6) 高兴is the cause of his singing.
A Quick Reference Table for 的，地，得
Attributive + 的 (de) + Noun
Adverbial + 地 (de) + Verb
Verb/Adj + 得 (de) + Adj/Verb
D-6. …的时候 (...de shíhou) and …以后 (...yĭ hòu)Compared
In a sentence of the pattern “V1 的时候 ,V2...,” the second action and the first action take place simultaneously.
1. 走的时候别忘了带些钱。 (Don’t forget to take some money with you when you leave.)
2. 我看见他的时候，他正在打球。 (When I saw him, he was playing ball.)
3. 妹妹看短信的时候，一边看一边笑。 (When my little sister was reading the text messages, she smiled as she read along.)
However, in a sentence of the pattern “V1 以后 , V2...,” the second action takes place after the first one.
4. 他走了以后，才想起来忘了带钱。 (He didn’t realize until after he had left that he had forgotten to take any money with him.)
The …的时候 (de shíhou) structure describes two simultaneous actions. One may say in English, “When I get to China, I will eat Beijing roast duck,” when one really means, “After I get to China, I’ll eat Beijing roast duck.” In Chinese, that idea has to be conveyed with 以后 (yĭ hòu):
5. 我到中国以后要吃北京烤鸭。 (I will eat some Beijing roast duck after I arrive in China.)
[烤鸭 (kăo yā, roast duck) See Dialogue II.]
(5a) *我到中国的时候要吃北京烤鸭。
[This sentence is incorrect because you won’t eat Beijing roast duck until after you arrive in China.]
Language Practice
D-7. Rules Are Rules
Parents and teachers always seem to have more rules for their children and students. Work with a partner and figure out what the rules are, based on the visuals.
Example:
做功课的时候， 不准/不能/不许/不允许 看电视。
1. When eat dinner, you cannot/are not allowed to talk
2. When walk on the street, you cannot/are not allowed to listen to the music.
3. When you are driving, you cannot/are not allowed use cell phone.
4. When attend the class, you cannot/are not allowed to sleep
D-8. Before or After
Work with a partner and find out when Wang Peng normally takes a shower,
takes his medicine, goes online, and cleans his room.

1. usually eats first , then takes a shower
2. usually eats first , then takes medicine
3. usually does homework first , then listen to music
4. usually watches TV first , then go to sleep
D-9. Heading to the Airport
Unlike Li You, you may not have a Chinese friend to
accompany you on your trip to China and be your
interpreter or tour guide. Work with a partner to make
a list of questions and responses that may come in
handy when you check in at a Chinese airline counter.
D-10. Before the School Break
Go around the classroom and ask each of your classmates about his/her
summer plans, and how long the activities he/she has planned will last.
Remind him/her to keep in touch, and give appropriate good wishes before moving on to the next person.
