号码 (hào mă): “telephone number” and 好吗 ( hǎo ma):“How are you?”
David is going mad because he cannot tell the difference between the tones. Let’s see if Marcus has some tips…
大伟:
How did the Chinese invent such a weird language?
老马:
What do you mean?
大伟:
Sometimes their questions and answers are the same, for example, “在哪里?” (Where is it?) and “在那里” (It is over there).
老马:
Hmm, that’s the annoying tone problem.
大伟:
How did you ever learn it?
老马:
There are no easy ways. It is just like listening to music; you will get used to it eventually, but it is hard to hear the subtle differences at first.
大伟:
Are there no other ways apart from this?
老马:
Hmm, let me see. I think you need some enlightenment…
老马:
Suppose that you meet a lovely Chinese girl and you want to get her phone number.
大伟:
I think this example is very helpful.
