M. 骑车去, qí chē qù? Hǎo!

S: And in lesson 94, we learnt things like ‘traffic lights’ hónglǜdēng, and ‘3rd ring road’ , san1huan2lu4.

M. Sometimes we also hear people say ‘交通灯’, jiao1tong1deng1. 交通means transport, transportation. So, jiāotōngdēng and hónglǜdēng both mean ‘traffic lights’. Jiāotōngdēng hé hónglǜdēng yíyàng, the same.

S: And ‘ahead’ qiánmiàn. ‘Bridge’ qiáo, qiáo, as in Suzhou Bridge Sūzhōuqiáo.

M. 我们在三环路上wǒmen zài sānhuánlùshàng.

S. 前面就是苏州桥 qiánmiàn jiù shì Sūzhōu Qiáo.

S. 我们在红绿灯那儿右拐 wǒmen zài hónglǜdēng nàr yòu guǎi.

M. 我们已经到红绿灯了,右拐！wǒmen dàole hónglǜdēng, yòuguǎi.

S. 快右拐！kuài yòu guǎi.

M. Stuart, 你骑得太快了。nǐ qíde tài kuài le.

S. 不对, 你骑得太慢了。búduì, nǐ qíde taì màn le.

M. 不对, 你骑得太快 nǐ qíde tài kuài.

S. 不对，是你骑得太慢 búduì, shì nǐ qíde tài màn.

M. And, of course as usual, I was right.

M: He NEVER listens!

S: Ok, I guess I did cycle too fast. But, no harm done!

M: I’m glad you realize it! You should cycle more slowly. 你应该骑慢一点。你应该骑慢一点。

S: Right! And, wǒyě yīnggāi xiǎoxīndiǎn. I should also be more careful. 我也应该小心点儿。Be careful, 小心。

M: 对了，别骑太快。 Don’t cycle too fast. Biéqí tàikuài. Here 别 is exactly the same meaning as 不要，both meaning “don’t” in English.

S: So you can easily guess that “但是，也不要太慢” can also be expressed as “但是，也别太慢。” bié, buúyào, yíyàng.

M: Ok, that’s basically what we learned in the past week. Remember to practice as often as possible!

S: And don’t forget, biéwàngle, búyàowàngle, to read everything loud – very important.

M: Ok, we’ll see you next lesson.

S: Zài jiàn.
