Jessie: 在本课中,我将教授如何用日语询问某物是什么,例如“这是什么?”和“那是什么?”。通过模拟Taylor在机场过海关的情景,海关人员会问他一些问题,我们可以学习到实用的表达。例如,当Taylor不知道“diaper”这个词时,我们可以学习到“diaper”在日语中是“おむつ”或“おしめ”。此外,我们还会复习一些常见的词汇,如“おみやげ”(纪念品)、“アルコール”(酒精)和各种饮料的说法。日语中有很多外来语,虽然发音可能与原语言不同,但掌握它们可以更容易地记忆单词。 Motoko: 在本课中,我主要负责介绍句型“Aは何ですか?”(A是什么?),并解释如何用“これ”(这个)、“それ”(那个)和“あれ”(那个,远处)来替换“A”。“これ”用于指代离说话者近的东西,“それ”用于指代离听者近的东西,而“あれ”用于指代离说话者和听者都远的东西。通过实际对话的例子,我们可以更好地理解这些词的用法。例如,海关人员会问“それは何ですか?”(那是什么?),而Taylor会回答“これはお土産です。”(这是纪念品)。
