17. Dialogues1_1 Dialogue I Dialogue GoingMetric A: B: A: B: As a Westerner studying Chinese literature, I often get confused with your traditional weights and measures. I refer to dictionaries,only to find the explanations more confusing. I sometimes get confused too. The way you measure weights and capacitypuzzles me. For example, in Chinese novels I often come across these words: hao, qian, liang, jin, sheng, dou, shi, dan (毫、钱、两、斤、升、斗、石、担) ... They baffle me. Most young people in China get confused, too. The problem arises because of the parallel use of both the traditional and the newer metric system in many places.

18. Dialogues1_2 Dialogue I Dialogue A: B: A: In my country we also use the more traditional system to measure certain things. For example, when measuring liquids, we have pints, quarts and gallons. By the way, do you use the metric system in the piecegoods shops? Yes. For length measurements, the traditional system and the metric system are used side by side. We use chi (尺) as well as the metre. One chi is a third of a metre or a little longer than a foot. We have inches, feet,yards and miles. Everybody in my country learns the measurements by heart, such as “twelve inches equal one foot”, “three feet equal one yard”, and “one thousand seven hundred and sixty yards equal one mile”.

19. Dialogues1_3 Dialogue I Dialogue B: A: B: A: B: That’s complicated, too. Yes, especially for people from other countries who are not used to such a system. Thanks to the metric reform, we don’t have trouble in measuring weights any more. But your jin is not metrical. It is, too. One jin is 500 grammes, that is, half a kilo. There are ten liang in one jin, and 50 grammes in one liang. Your traditional weight measures are much more confusing than ours.

20. Dialogues1_4 Dialogue I Dialogue A: B: A: Yes, oh yes. The smallest unit is the ounce. It takes 16 ounces to make a pound, 14 pounds to make a stone, 8 stone to make a hundredweight, and 20 hundredweight to make a ton. One sackof potatoes or coal usually weighs one hundredweight. The other day we got on the scale. I remember you weighed 76 kilos. That’s about 167 pounds. So you weighed one hundredweight, 3 stone and 13 pounds. That’s very complicated. No, no! Hundredweight is not used to measure human weight. It’s used only for potatoes and coal. For people, we just use stone and pounds. So I weighed 11 stone 13 pounds.

21. Dialogues1_5 Dialogue I Dialogue B: A: B: A: I’m certainly baffled by this system of weights and measures. I agree. It’s high time we went metric. As matter of fact, the British government has already set up a Metrication Board to speed upthe process of metrication. Our government has done a pretty good job in unifying the measurement systems. We’ve almost gone completely metric. I hope your reform will keep pace with ours. Considering all the money spent on our “going metric” campaign, it would be a shame to lag behind. We’ll catch up. And it won’t be long before all the nations of the world go completely metric.

47. Role_Play1_4 Dialogue I Role Play Wang: Johnson: Wang : Johnson: Wang: Johnson: Wang: Johnson: I love to read short stories by English writers, classic and modern. I’m very glad to hear that. I wish I could read some of yours in the nearest future. One thing that always confuses me is your money system. But it has been reformed, now it’s very simple. Yes, I know, but could you tell me something about your old money system? Certainly! What do you want to know? What were the basic monetary units in your old system? Well, I’d say the basic units included pence, shilling and pound. Whereas 12 pence is a shilling, 1 pound is equal to 20 shillings.

48. Role-Play1_5 Dialogue I Role Play Wang: Johnson: Wang: Johnson: Wang: Johnson: How many types of coins did you use to have? Well, ten coins, I think. They were coins of a farthing, a halfpenny, 1 penny, twopence, threepence, sixpence, 1 shilling, 2 shillings, a half-crown and a sovereign. The values of coins such as those of a halfpenny, 1 penny, twopence, threepence, sixpence are easy to understand. But I am completely baffled by the values of a farthing, a shilling, a half-crown and a sovereign. A farthing was equal to 1/4 penny and 12 pence one shilling. A half-crown is 2.5 shillings and a sovereign one pound. Thank you for your little lesson. Now I have a better idea of the old system, although I still find it difficult. My pleasure. If you have any other questions about our monetary system, I am all ears.
