小丁和她的男朋友今年暑假要去北京大学参加一个短期语言训练班，所以，昨天

他们到纽约中国领馆办签证。他们早上十点出发，十一点四十才到纽约。路上一

共花了一小时四十分钟。在领馆办签证的人很多。小丁和学友排了快一个小时的

张领事问小丁为什麽要去中国留学。小丁回答说美国大学的设备很好，老师教得

也很好，但是说中文的机会不多。除了在课上用中文问问题，回答问题以外，平常

几乎没有用中文的机会，所以很想利用暑假去北京，这样，除了学习中文以外，还

Ding and her boy friend will go to Peking University to attend a short

term language training class this summer vocation. So, yesterday they

went to the Chinese Consulate in New York to apply for visas. They set

out at ten o’clock in the morning. They did not get to New York until

eleven forty. They altogether spent one hour and forty minutes on the

road. There were a lot of people at the Consulate applying for visas.

Ding and Xueyou got to the visa window only after standing in the

                                                                                   www.cchello.com

line for about an hour. The consul who handled Ding and Xueyou’s

application is a woman, (whose) last name is Zhang, (and she ) was

quite nice.

Consul Zhang Asked Ding why she wanted to go to study in China. Ding

answered that the facilities in the United States were good, and the

teachers taught very well. But the opportunities of speaking Chinese

were not many. Except asking questions and answering questions in the

class, there were almost no chance of using Chinese in daily life. So,

(she) wanted very much to take advantage of the summer vocation to go

to Beijing. In this way, besides learning Chinese, (she) can also know

                                                                                   www.cchello.com

about the Chinese society. Ding said that she hoped that consul would

support her plan and grand her visa to go to China.

When (they) got out of the consulate, it was already three in the

afternoon. From ten o’clock in the morning to three o’clock in the

afternoon, Ding and Xueyou were fully occupied for five hours. (they)

did not eat, neither did (they) drink. Although Ding and Xueyou were

both hungry and tired, they were very happy, because they got the

visas and would go and visit China very soon.

Grammar

1.The time-measure complement:

A word or phrase attached to a verb or adjective predicate to complete the meaning is

known as a complement.

  Copyright 2007~2008 cchello.com 
                                                                                   www.cchello.com
A time-measure complement is a time phrase such as 一天，一个星期，三十分钟，

五个小时,which follows the verb to indicate the duration of the action. For example:

我要看五个小时。 I will watch for five hours.

他吃了半个小时。 He ate for half an hour.

她姐姐看电视看了一天。 Her older sister watched TV for a day.

我听新闻要听二十分钟。 I will listen to the news for twenty minutes.

Note that:

(1). An auxiliary verb such as 要, 想 can be used to express the intent: 我要看五个小时。

(2). Aspectual particle 了 can be used to express the completed aspect: 他吃了半个小时。

(3). When the verb has an object,

a)the verb has to be repeated:

她姐姐看电视看了一天。 我听新闻要听二十分钟。

b)you can also treat the object and the complement as a unit of quantified object, and
structure

the sentence thus:

她姐姐看了一天的电视。

我要听二十分钟的新闻。

(4). To question the duration of the action such questions as 多久，多长时间，几天，几

个小时 can

                                                                                   www.cchello.com
be used. For example:

你要听多久？ How long will you listen?

她想了多长的时间？ How long has she been thinking?

他弟弟作作业作了多长时间？ How long did his younger brother work on the homework?

你去中国要去几个星期？ How many weeks will you be in China?

你要坐几个小时的火车？ How many hours’ train will you take?

2. Model Particle 了:

Model particle 了 is also known as “sentence particle 了”. Unlike the aspectual 了 , which
comes

after the verb, model particle is always found at the end of the sentence. The model
particle 了 can

be used to express various different shade of meaning. In the previous lessons, we have
encountered

“太...了” pattern. In this pattern, model particle 了 works with the adverb 太 to
indicate

excessiveness. For example:

这本书太贵了。 This book is too expensive.

汉字太难了。 Chinese characters are too difficult.

In this lesson, we learn to use model particle to indicate that the event expressed in the

  Copyright 2007~2008 cchello.com 
                                                                                   www.cchello.com
narrative

sentence has already taken place or accomplished. For example:

小张呢？她去实验室了。 Where is Zhang? She has gone to the lab.

你已经买了五张光碟了。你还想买。不行。 You have already bought five CD. You want

more (You still want to buy). No.

Note that:

(1) Both aspectual 了 and model 了 can be present in a sentence. 你已经买了五张光碟了。

(2) But when 了 comes after the verb and at the end of the sentence as well, it functions
both as

an aspectual and model particle. For example:

她来了。

我吃了。

(3) The model particle can be used to indicate that the action or event referred to is
something

which took place in the past, but past happenings do not always take the model particle.

Compare the below two sentences:

我去看他的时候，他在打电话呢。 When I went to see him, he was making the call.

                                                                                   www.cchello.com
我去看他的时候，他打了电话了。 When I went to see him, he had made the call.

(4) The negative form of the sentence with model particle 了 indicating accomplished
event is

made by putting the adverb 没(有 ) in front of the verb and at the same time dropping
the 了.

For example:

她买书了，没有买词典。 She bought books, (but) did not buy the dictionary.

To form a question, you can add 吗 or 没有 at the end of the sentence. For example:

你看了那个电影了吗？ Did you see the movie?

他回家了没有？ Did he go home?

To form an affirmative-negative question, you can juxtapose the affirmative and negative
form.

For example:

你吃没吃饭？ Did you eat or not?

她去没去参加音乐会？ Did she go to the concert or not?

Affirmative 我妈妈 去 商店 了。

Negative 她 没有 买 那本词典。

Question 你 去 签证 了吗？ 了没(有)？

Affirmative- Negative 你哥哥 喝没 喝 你作的汤？

3. Sequential actions:

We came across such a sentence pattern 我吃了饭就去 in Lesson 27. In this sentence
there were two actions

taking place: action 1 吃 ; action 2 去 . Action 1 吃 takes place before action 2 去,so it
has an aspectual

particle 了 right after the verb 吃 to indicate that the action 2 去 takes place only after
action 1 is

accomplished. Let’s see some more examples:

他看了电视 看书。 He watches TV (then) reads books.

你买了那本书(就)去上课。 You buy that book (first), (then) go to class.

Summary:

Subject Verb1 了 + (object) (就) Verb2+ (object)

她 买 了 书 回 家。

Note that this pattern can be used to refer to events that either talk about future plans or
habitual

behaviors. If one wants to talk about the events that happened in the past, one should add

                                                                                   www.cchello.com
model

particle 了 at the end of the sentence.

For example:

昨天她看了电影就回家了。 Yesterday she saw a movie (then) went home.

上午我下了课去咖啡馆。 This morning after got out of the class I went to the coffee
house.

Summary:

Subject Verb1 了 + (object) (就) Verb2+ (object) 了

她 买 了 书 回 家 了。

1。昨天晚上你睡了几个小时？我睡了七个钟头，可是我还觉得累。

2。我爸爸妈妈在北京呆了两个月，去了五个城市，参观了无数的博物馆。

3。上大学的时候，我在医院当了几年的义工，认识了不少大夫。
