First we listen to a song, the name of the song is "知(zhī)道(dào)不(bú)知(zhī)道(dào)"
ATTENTION: the background music maybe disturb you. please turn it off manually.
(知(zhī)道 (dào) = know, 不(bú) = not/ no)
Your task today is to find out the sentence "知(zhī)道(dào)不(bú)知(zhī) 道(dào)" in this song : )
Explanation:
This phrase is so called positive and negative sentence. In Chinese we could use the following structure : (Copyright © Fan from http://fan-dasschiff.blogspot.com/ ）
Verb + 不(bù)/没(méi) + Verb(the same as the first one)
to ask a question instead of 吗(ma).
PS:For the verbs containing two characters, the previous verb could for short just use the first character of the verb, while the latter one must be the full version.
e.g. 你(nǐ)知(zhī)道(dào)吗(ma)？ = 你(nǐ)知(zhī)道(dào)不(bú)知(zhī)道(dào)？= 你(nǐ)知(zhī)不(bú)知(zhī)道(dào)？
This song is one of the old folk songs in China but this version is newly sung as a cover version by Ruoying Liu(English name : Ren'e Liu) for the film "天(tiān)下(xià)无(wú)贼(zéi)"(English name : “A World Without Thieves”)
(PS: 顺(shùn)便(biàn)说(shuō)一(yī)句(jù), this is also a good film worth to see, if you have time : ).
Do not be disappointed if you do not understand the lyrics, because some of the words are very literal and not easy to understand, especially for this song. The following is the lyrics, I translated the sentence you should know for you(you do not need all of them), I hope it will help you a little. One thing you need to pay attention is the sentence we learn today, try to find it out in the song yourself.
那天(nàtiān)的(de)云(yún)是否(shìfǒu)都(dōu)已(yǐ)料到(liàodào)
