Intermediate | I Changed My Mind

(你把手拿走到我) ( Chinese 把手拿走到我) ( Chinese 把手拿走到我) ( Chinese 把手拿走到我) ( That's the way to the Chinese) 我聽到一句 「Lesson on ChinesePod」 我的名字是John 大家好,我是Dilu 今天我們談談「Changing our minds」 「Changing clothes」,對吧? 對,柯文裏面的老婆 不知道應該穿什麼衣服出門 所以她就問老公 這個怎麼樣,那個怎麼樣? OK,所以她不懂得知道 她在她的身邊有她的心意 而且她不想去的,對嗎? 我們先來聽一下對話吧 好,我們先來聽聽看吧 老公,我穿紫色的裙子怎麼樣? 可以啊 你說紫色會不會太老氣了? 我在問你意見,你認真點? 沒關係,我那些歌舞都穿得很隨便 要不穿毛衣吧,可愛一點 行,你穿什麼都好看 還是穿隔子穿山吧,比較休閒 行行行,你快點,我們要出發了 我那件粉色的馬甲在哪裡啊? 你怎麼又改變主意了? 別急嘛,一會兒就好 OK,所以我這是我的 first idea 那時候的孩子有什麼問題? 老婆問我穿紫色的裙子怎麼樣? 我穿紫色的裙子怎麼樣? OK,那是裙子,對嗎? 對 但是她有一個概念的裙子,對嗎? 是她說的嗎? 紫色會不會太老氣了? 紫色會不會太老氣了? 好,現在是什麼裙子呢? 老氣就是看上去老 OK,所以是一個裙子, 那是叫做,它會讓人看得到老 嗯,那這句話的意思呢,就是紫色 會不會讓我看上去很老? OK,所以是一種裙子, 會讓人看上去老 沒錯 它是很難看,它會不會讓人看上去? 會不會讓人看上去老? 就是有沒有這樣的可能性? 對,所以在中國,你能夠問問題的意思? 這樣會不會讓人看上去老? 你認為裙子會讓人看上去老? 或者這個裙子會讓人看上去老? 但是在中國,你會說 紫色會不會太老氣了? 我這裡有一個粒子 OK,所以 another example of會不會? 你喜歡喝可樂嗎? 對 你喜歡喝牛奶嗎? 喜歡? 那可樂加牛奶會不會好喝呢? OK,所以 Cola, Add Milk, will it be good to drink? 嗯,我也不知道 所以我們也不會說, 你認為它會不會好, 如果你 Add Milk to Cola, 是的,是的 OK, anyway,會不會 for adjectives, 你能夠問答對 Chinese? 嗯,好 OK,所以 anyway, the husband, he's not paying close attention to these questions, is he? 啊,對啊,因為他說, 啊,好像沒有在聽啊 老婆有點生氣,他說 我在問你意見啊,你認真點 所以問你意見 所以 like asking your opinion or asking for your opinion 啊,沒錯,問你意見 要不問你的意見, 可以說話嗎? 嗯,那個也可以,是一樣的意思 OK and so she's saying be serious, how does she say be serious? 你認真點,你認真點 OK 然後老公說啊, 啊,沒關係,我那些哥們 都穿得很隨便 OK, so 我那些哥們 So those guys of mine my buddies 啊,對,這個哥們就非常的口語啊, 就是只這些兄弟啊, 這些很好的朋友 Alright, so the guy is the friends, the guy's he hangs out, so girmard, that's first tone in the neutral, right? 啊,對, girmard, girmard and you have to add the R on the end, right? 對,我們一般性都會把這個 R 加在後面 OK, girmard 嗯, so what do the guys all do? 啊,他們都穿得很隨便 穿得很隨便 so they dress very隨便 so this隨便, is kind of like whatever don't really care, anything's fine 對,就是他們無所謂,穿什麼 OK, so they just wear whatever 嗯,然後老婆又問了 那要不穿毛衣吧,可愛一點 OK, so she says how about wearing a sweater that will be cuter but how does she start the sentence? 要不,要不 so what does "yaubu" mean? 要不就是 how about? OK, so how about I do that? 啊,是的 but then once again, the husband is terribly cooperative, what does he say? 他說,你穿什麼都好看 穿什麼都好看 OK, so you wear what? it's all good so in English we probably say you look good in everything, right? 是的 you always look good no matter what you wear so in Chinese you say 穿什麼都好看 你穿什麼都好看 這個老公還是很聰明的啊 哈哈哈 yeah, that's a good line 啊,然後這個老婆他又有一個想法 OK, so she has another opinion, what does she say? 他說,還是穿隔自寸山吧 比較休閒 OK, so she leads off the sentence with the word 還是 還是 is the same word that you use and asking is it this or is it this but in this case it's not a question it's saying after much deliberation after considering the alternatives I think this is the way to go 嗯,他其實是在跟自己說話 OK, so she's made a decision and the decision is 穿隔自寸山 穿隔自寸山 so she's going to wear a type of shirt right? what kind of shirt is it? 啊,隔自的寸山 所以寸山, that means shirt 嗯,是的 4th tone, first tone 隔自就是一種圖案 alright, so it's a pattern in this case it's plaid 嗯,沒錯 so what are the tones on this word? 是隔自第2聲和清聲 OK, second tone neutral so a plaid shirt together is 隔自寸山 隔自寸山 OK, and why did she decide on that again? 嗯,因為比較修嫌 比較修嫌 OK, so it's quite casual what's the word for casual? 修嫌,第一聲和第二聲 alright, first tone, second tone 嗯,就是跟剛才的隨便,很像 yeah, those two are very similar in meaning 嗯, and the opposite of修嫌 would be what? 啊,那就是比較正式 正式 OK, formal, two fourth tone 是的 正式 OK, got it anyway, the husband he doesn't really care which she wears 啊 but then the wife has one other idea, right? 哦,對,他說 我那件粉色的馬甲在哪裡? OK, so she's looking for a pink wet 粉色的馬甲 馬甲 alright, so this is a vest, right? 嗯, for horse 然後, not really OK, it does have the character for horse in it 嗯 嗯, so if you look this up in the dictionary, you're gonna see two third tones 嗯, but this is one of those weird words where in reality people kind of add their own tone and spoken Chinese so what tones were you using just now? 嗯,我剛剛用的是第三聲和第二聲 馬甲,馬甲 OK, third tone, second tone 嗯,但是呢,在字點裡面是兩個第三聲 有點奇怪,我們不會這麼說 sometimes there's a little bit of discrepancy between what the dictionary says and what people actually say, this is one example 嗯, alright, so anyway, a pink vest and what was the measure word we used for the vest? 漸,漸, J-I-A-N,第四聲 fourth tone,對 OK, and because she's looking for a pink vest, her husband concludes that she has done what? 改變主意,改變主意 OK, so literally to change an idea, in English we say to change one's mind,嗯 so what was the whole question that the husband asked? 你怎麼又改變主意了? 你怎麼又改變主意了? so how come you've once again changed your mind? 嗯, so a rhetorical question OK, now let's take a look at these tones here so the verb to change is what? 改變,改變,第三聲和第四聲 OK, third tone and fourth tone and then for idea 那在字點裡面呢,它是第三聲和清聲 OK, so in dictionaries, you're going to find third tone and neutral, but once again in spoken Chinese there's something little different, what is it now? 對,我們說第二聲和清聲 OK, so the注意 is often pronounced as second tone and neutral 對,我們說主意,主意 so the whole phrase again to change one's mind 改變主意,改變主意 and if I want to say I changed my mind, I just say 我改變主意了 我改變主意了 好, great OK, and lastly, let's take a look at the wife's final remarks what's that first phrase? 它說別及嘛,別及嘛 OK, so別及, that's like don't be in a rush don't be so impatient but then she adds this ma, what is the ma doing here? 你覺得呢,這樣,你覺得是一個 question嗎? No, it's not the yes/no question ma, right? 是更多的声音 嗯, kind of urging or something, I don't know, tell us. 啊,其實它就是一個比較 girl-y的一個詞,讓這個聽上去比較可愛. Yeah, I find the girls use this when they're trying to be persuasive maybe. 嗯,就是在撒嬌的時候會. Yeah, like so when a girl's trying to get her way, she's very likely to use this ma. 對啊,比如說,啊,好不好 ma,可以 ma,別及 ma. OK, but guys don't really use this so much. 那男生就不要這麼說了,有點奇怪啊. OK, so we're gonna listen to the dialogue one more time, and then we're gonna go over some of the key language points. 嗯,好的. D, the CAT scan. 嗯, the CAT scan? 嗯, sorry, that is incorrect. the correct answer is C, the HSK test. That's right, Chinese pod will thoroughly prepare you to pass this rigorous test of proficiency in Chinese. ChinesePod.com/HSK 老公,我穿紫色的情子怎麼樣? 可以啊. 嗯,你說紫色會不會太老氣了? 啊,我在問你意見呢,你認真點? 哎呀,沒關係,我那些歌舞都穿得很隨便. 要不穿毛衣吧,可愛一點. 行,你穿什麼都好看. 還是穿隔子趁山吧,比較休閒. 行行行,你快點,我們要出發了. 哎,我那間粉色的馬甲在哪裡啊? 哎呀,你怎麼又改變主意了? 別急嘛,一會兒就好. 所以,Dilo, I think one thing we could do is take some of the woman's lines and look at them separately so we can follow her train of thought without the interruptions of the husband's, you know, unhopeful remarks. 嗯,好,那一開始啊,這個老婆她說,我穿紫色的裙子怎麼樣? 什麼什麼什麼怎麼樣? ok, so how about doing this? 嗯, then she reconsideres, what does she say? 然後她又問紫色會不會太老氣了? 紫色會不會太老氣了? ok, so want the purple make me look too old? 嗯, and then she has another idea. 要不穿毛衣吧,要不穿毛衣吧. ok, so how about with yallbook? 嗯,然後她又說,哦,還是穿隔自襯衫吧? 還是穿隔自襯衫吧? ok, so in the end, I'd better do this. this is the right way to go with the plaid shirt. 嗯,最後呢,她又在找她那件粉色的馬甲呢? yeah, and so her husband suspects that? 她又改變主意了,她又改變主意了? 嗯,我覺得女人還是非常善變的哦. 善變, that means change easily, right? 對呀,很容易就改變主意,然後很快就改變主意. 我明白, when I first learned this word, 善變, was also in the same context of girls changing their minds. 哦,是嗎? not trying to be sexist here, but this thing kinda tends to happen in our dialogues, doesn't it? 是的, do you think this is a realistic dialogue? I'm a girl, I can't say that. What do you mean, because it is realistic or because it isn't? 其實還是有非常多的女孩子是這樣子的. and a lot of husbands react in the same way, right? 是的. I think that's pretty universal. Alright, so anyway, if you guys have any questions about the vocabulary or the grammar, please come to ChinesePod.com and ask us. 嗯, we'll see you there,再見. 再見.
