Negotiation Phrases

                   Similar to English, there is a system of “modality” or “tone” in the Chinese language to demonstrate the mood or intention of the speakers. Most vocabulary/phrases/expressions causing confusion on the AP Chinese exam are those that indicate the opposite meaning of what happened. Let us call them “negation phrases”; most of them are adverbs. For example:
         English: Although he likes playing video games, he has to finish homework first.  
        Chinese: 尽管他喜欢玩电子游戏,可是他得先做完作业。
  • 谁说的? /哪儿的话? /说什么呀
  • 尽管 …… 可是……
  • 即使…… 也……
  • 就算…… 也……
  • 无论……都/ 也……
  • 以免 / 免得
  • 要是…… 就好了
  • 要不然
  • 除非
  • 只是
  • 莫非,难道
  • 只有……才……
  • 怎么这么 ……
  • 太……了
  • ……才怪!
  • 可惜
  • 竟然/居然
  • Who said so—It’s not true.
  • Although, even though
  • Even… still…
  • ​Even if… still
  • No matter what…
  • In case
  • What if...
  • Otherwise
  • Unless
  • It's just that...
  • Are you saying that...
  • Only if...then...
  • Why like this...
  • too...
  • Won't/It is too strange that...
  • It's a pity that...
  • Surprisingly, to my surprise
