In this story we learn that those who live in dirty glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. This story is for Mandarin learners level HSK 2-3. Some vocabulary you might need: Most of the nouns and verbs in this story are HSK 1-3, pretty basic, but there are a couple of more advanced grammar words. First off, if you’re new to Chinese measure words, you’ll learn some new ones in here. We’ve got: 一对 yī duì – A pair (in this case, of people – a husband and wife) 一户 yī hù – A household 一番 yī fān- The measure word for a conversation or a block of speech We’ve also got three words here specifically related to washing clothes and cleaning: 干净 gān jìng – To be clean 洗衣粉 xǐ yī fěn – washing powder 晾衣绳 liàng yī shéng – Washing line (dry clothes rope) 悬挂 xuán guà – To hang 擦 cā – To wipe 清洗 qīng xǐ – To wash (something until it is clean) 洗衣服 一对年轻的夫妇对面搬来一户新邻居。第二天早上，当他们吃早饭的时候，年轻的妻子看到了新搬来的邻居正在外面洗衣服。 妻子对丈夫说道：“那些衣服洗得不干净，也许那个邻居不知道如何清洗。也许她需要好一点的洗衣粉。” 丈夫看了看了妻子，沉默不语。 就这样每次邻居洗衣服，妻子都会这样评论对方一番。 大概一个月后，年轻的妻子惊奇地发现，邻居的晾衣绳上居然悬挂着一件干净的衣服，她大叫着对丈夫说：“快看！她学会洗衣服了。我想知道是谁教会她这个的呢？” 她的丈夫却回答到：“我今天早上一大早起来，然后我把窗户擦干净了。” 在我们作出判断之前，首先要看一下你的“窗户”是否干净。 A new neighbor moved in across from a young husband and wife. On the second morning, when they were eating breakfast, the young wife saw that the new neighbors were outside washing their clothes. The wife said to the husband: “Those clothes haven’t been washed clean, perhaps the neighbor doesn’t know how to how clean them. Perhaps she needs better washing powder.” The husband looked at his wife, and [sat] silent without speaking. And so every time the neighbors washed their clothes, the wife would always comment in this way. About a month later, the young wife discovered to her surprise, an item of clean clothing was hung on the neighbors washing line, and she called loudly to her husband: “Quick, look! She learned how to wash clothes. I’d like to know who taught her this?” Her husband, however, answered: “I got up early today, and washed our windows.” Before we make judgements, first we should look to see if our own “windows” are clean. #Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
