Dilu: 欢迎收听中文播客。大家好,我是 Dilu。

John: Hey guys, I'm John, and this is an Intermediate lesson.

Dilu: 今天我们在健身房。健身房。

John: The 健身房 is the gym.

Dilu: 是的。

John: The tones are 4-1-2.

Dilu: 对。健身房。第四声,第一声和第二声。

John: And today we have have a girl that gets a bit annoyed at some of the other people at the gym that are less than considerate.

Dilu: 好。那我们先来听一下对话。看一看发生了什么事情。

John: So it sounds like the girl kicked something and hurt her foot maybe.

Dilu: 然后她说:谁啊?这么缺德。谁啊?这么缺德。

John: So why does she start off with 谁啊?

Dilu: 着句话的意思就是:谁?这么缺德。

John: Who could be so 缺德。So what does 缺德 mean exactly?

Dilu: 缺德就是说:做不好的事情。不负责人。

John: So you do that stuff, you're responsible. Literally 缺德 means 'lacking morality'.

Dilu: 对。但是没有这么严重。如果你把香蕉皮扔在地上,就是缺德。但是如果你杀了人,那就不是缺德的事情了。

John: So you throw a banana peel on the ground, that counts as 缺德,but killing someone is a bit beyond the scope of 缺德。

Dilu: 那当然啦。

John: 缺德 - that's 1st tone, 2nd tone.

Dilu: 对。第一声和第二声。缺德。谁啊?这么缺德。

John: And what do they do?

Dilu: 把哑铃放在过道上。把哑铃放在过道上。

John: First of all we have this pattern using 把。

Dilu: 对。

John: You take something and you do something with it.

Dilu: 把什么放在哪里。

John: Using it to place something somewhere is one of the first uses that you can use to get used to using 把。For example, 把书放在桌子上。

Dilu: That's right.

John: Put the book on the table. In this case, put what where?

Dilu: 哑铃。哑铃。第三声和第二声。

John: 哑铃 is 'dumbbell'.

Dilu: 你在健身房到处都是哑铃。

John: And literally it means 'dumb bell'. 哑铃。

Dilu: 对。

John: So you put the dumbbell where?

Dilu: 放在过道上。过道上。

John: 过道,two 4th tones, that means a 'walkway'.

Dilu: 是的。

John: Not a hall, because its an open space, its a gym, its a walkway.

Dilu: 对。就是可以走了地方。

John: So now we know that she tripped on a 哑铃 which was left on the 过道。So what does he say?

Dilu: 肯定是有人练完了,忘了放回去。

John: 肯定 ... what?

Dilu: 肯定是有人练完了。有人练完了。

John: 练,4th tone, means 'to exercise'.

Dilu: 对。就是:锻炼。

John: So they finished using the dumbbell, and then they ...

Dilu: 忘了放回去。忘了放回去。

John: We know that 放 means 'to put', 'to place', but if we put 回去 after it, it means 'put it back'.

Dilu: 是的。放回去。放回去。

John: Can we just say 放回 for 'put it back'?

Dilu: 有点奇怪。经常会说:放回去。

John: So it sounds more complete to say 放回去。Put it back.

Dilu: 对。

John: Then the girl continues.

Dilu: 真受不了这些人。真受不了这些人。

John: 受不了 means 'can't stand'.

Dilu: 对。然后她又说:要么不放回去,要么一个人拿很多,害得别人没东西练。

John: So we've got this pattern going on here. 要么 ... 要么。

Dilu: 对。要么 A 要么 B。

John: So they're either doing this, or they're doing that. You can use this to describe what people are always doing, A or B. You can also use it to give someone a command - would you do this or do that.
