Binge Watching (Intermediate)

Chinese Language Convo Club

On this episode, we discuss one of our guilty pleasures: Binge Watching Tv Series. While 追剧 isn't quite the same as "binging", it comes pretty close （刷剧is another that we'll touch upon in a future episode). Hope you will join us! 追剧 Zhuī jù: Vocabulary: 电视剧（Diànshìjù） - Television Series 追剧 （Zhuī jù） - To Follow a Tv Series 宅 (Zhái) - House 关键 （Guānjiàn）- Essential 集 (Jí) Episode 悬念 (Xuánniàn) Suspense 节目 (Jiémù) Program, Show 前女友 (Qián nǚyǒu) Ex-girlfriend 现女朋友 (Xiàn nǚ péngyǒu) Current Girlfriend 被杀掉了 （Bèi shā diàole）Was Murdered 往那边靠一靠 (Wǎng nà biān kào yī kào) Scoot Over 剧透 – Spoilers 女性: 我回来了！。。。。哎，你还在看那个电视剧吗？ Wǒ huíláile!.... Āi, nǐ hái zài kàn nàgè diànshìjù ma? I'm back!...Eh, You're still watching that tv show? 男性: 它也太好看了吧！好看到停不下来. Tā yě tài hǎokànle ba! Hǎokàn dào tíng bù xiàlái. It's just so good! I can't stop watching it. 女性：但是你已经自从我离开这里到现在一直都在看这个节目啊！ 这样追剧不太好。不要总是宅在家里看电视！我们出去散散步吧。 Dànshì nǐ yǐjīng zìcóng wǒ líkāi zhèlǐ dào xiànzài yīzhí dōu zài kàn zhège jiémù a! Zhèyàng zhuī jù bù tài hǎo.

Don't just sit at home watching tv! Let's go take a walk. 男性：哎呦！我还没看完呢！马上就要到关键的部分了。 让我把这一集看完。这个悬念让我感觉太紧张了！ Āi yōu! Wǒ hái méi kàn wán ne! Mǎshàng jiù yào dào guānjiàn de bùfènle. Ràng wǒ bǎ zhè yī jí kàn wán. Zhège xuánniàn ràng wǒ gǎnjué tài jǐnzhāng le! Oh come on! I haven't finished it yet! I'm just about to get to the good part. Let me finish watching it. The suspense is killing me! 女性：但是你好像是在一个接着一个看。你今天看了多少集了？ Dànshì nǐ hǎoxiàng shì zài yīgè jiēzhe yīgè kàn. Nǐ jīntiān kànle duōshǎo jíle? But it seems like you're just watching one right after the other. How many episodes have you seen today? 男性：我没数. 应该没那么多吧！这样，我把这集看完就停下，好吗？ 吃醋的前女友正在跟踪那位现女朋友。。但是男人已经被杀掉了。不知道是哪个女人干的。然后好像现女朋友。。。 Wǒ méi shù. Yīnggāi méi nàme duō ba! Zhèyàng, wǒ bǎ zhè jí kàn wán jiù tíng xià, hǎo ma? Chīcù de qián nǚyǒu zhèngzài gēnzōng nà wèi xiàn nǚ péngyǒu.. Dànshì nánrén yǐjīng bèi shā diàole. Bù zhīdào shì nǎge nǚrén gàn de. Ránhòu hǎoxiàng xiàn nǚ péngyǒu... I haven't kept track. It can't be that many! How about this, I'll stop right after I finish this episode, ok? The jealous ex-girlfriend is following the current girlfriend..but the man has already been murdered. I don't know which woman did it. And then it seems like the current girlfriend... 女性：啊，好了！好了！那你往那边靠一靠！ 我也想看！ A, hǎole! Hǎole! Nà nǐ wǎng nà biān kào yī kào! Wǒ yě xiǎng kàn! Ok! Ok! Scoot over! I want to watch it too!
