Re: Survival Speaking Everyday

Today sentence 2
“Please drop me off at that cross.”It`s a good sentence to stop the car at the place you want.So in chinese is,

“师傅,前面路口停车”
sh ī fu,qián miàn lù kǒu tíng chē。
lù kǒu:cross
tíng:stop
chē:vehicles

“cross”can be instead of any other symbols.

Complement words:

红绿灯 hóng lǜ dēng:trafic light
天桥 tiān qiáo:a cross-over bridge

Tips:
Of course,you can say “sh ī fu, tíng chē” ,but it comes too soon to react for driver,you know the traffic condition in Beijing .
Maybe it`s ok in an emergency.
So much for today.
Good luck!

Today sentence 8

Today we`ll learn how to express “Excuse me!” in different occasion.

The most popular explaination of “excuse me” is
“ 对不起” or “不好意思”。
“duì bù qǐ ” or “bù hǎo yì si”

We can also express the meaning by this way in a crowded subway.
“借过,我下车!”
“jiè guò,wǒ xià chē!”
“Exccuse me,I`m off.”

When you have a dinner with a custom or just having a conference,you can say
“失陪一下,我去接一个电话!”
shī péi yí xià,wǒ qù jiē yí gè diàn huà!
“Excuse me,a call is coming.”
Or just “失陪一下:,no excuse~:)

Opps~对不起,失陪一下,I have to have a class,see ya tomorrow!
