xiǎo pān小潘huáng gāng黄刚tǎo lùn讨论zhōng yuè中越mào yì贸易xīn wén新闻lǐ jiě理解lì shǐ历史xiàn shí现实delián xì联系

Xiaopan and Huang Gang discuss news about China–Vietnam trade and explore the connection between history and the present.

huáng lǎo shī黄老师nínzàikànshén me什么xīn wén新闻kàn dào看到zhōng yuè bān liè中越班列dedàn shì但是tàimíng bái明白

Mr. Huang, what news are you reading? I saw the term "China–Vietnam freight train," but I don't really understand it.

黄刚
duìzhèshìzhōng yuè中越zhī jiān之间dehuò yùn liè chē货运列车xiàn zài现在fā zhǎn发展hěnkuàihěn duō很多shāng pǐn商品tōng guò通过zhè lǐ这里jìn chū kǒu进出口

That's right. It's a freight railway service between China and Vietnam, and it's developing rapidly. Many goods are imported and exported through this route.

小潘
yuán lái原来shìzhè yàng这样zàiyuè nán越南tīng shuō听说guòzhōng yuè中越mào yì贸易yuè lái yuè越来越duōjué de觉得xiàn zài现在yǐ qián以前hěnyī yàng一样

I see. In Vietnam, I've also heard that trade between China and Vietnam is increasing. I think things are very different now compared with the past.

黄刚
shuōshuōkànyǒushén me什么yī yàng一样

Tell me, what do you think is different?

小潘
yǐ qián以前jué de觉得zhōng guó中国bāng zhù帮助yuè nán越南bǐ jiào比较duōxiàn zài现在kànxīn wén新闻gǎn jué感觉liǎng biān两边dōuyǒuhǎo chù好处shìhù xiāng互相bāng zhù帮助

In the past, I felt that China helped Vietnam more. But from the news now, it seems that both sides benefit. It's "helping each other."

黄刚
shuōhěnhǎozhèjiù shì就是wǒ men我们chángshuōdeshuāng yíng双赢néngcónglì shǐ历史dejiǎo dù角度láikànwèn tí问题hěnbù cuò不错

Very well said. That's what we often call a "win-win" situation. It's great that you're able to look at the issue from a historical perspective.

小潘
xiè xiè谢谢lǎo shī老师bù guò不过yǒu shí hòu有时候wén huà文化huìyǒuchā yì差异bǐ rú比如zuò shēng yì做生意defāng fǎ方法yī yàng一样zhèhuì bú huì会不会yǒuwèn tí问题

Thank you, teacher. But sometimes there are cultural differences too. For example, business practices can be different. Could that cause problems?

黄刚
dāng rán当然huìyǒuyī xiē一些xiǎowèn tí问题bǐ rú比如gōu tōng沟通fāng shì方式bù tóng不同dàn shì但是zhǐ yào只要duōliǎo jiě了解duì fāng对方wén huà文化jiùnéngmàn màn慢慢jiě jué解决

Of course there can be some small issues, such as different communication styles. But as long as we understand each other's cultures better, we can gradually solve them.

小潘
míng bái明白lexuéyǔ yán语言zhǐ shì只是shuō huà说话shìliǎo jiě了解wén huà文化

I understand. Learning a language isn't just about speaking it; it's also about understanding the culture.

黄刚
duìyǐ hòu以后rú guǒ如果zuòzhōng yuè中越jiāo liú交流gōng zuò工作zhè zhǒng这种lǐ jiě理解huìfēi cháng非常zhòng yào重要

Exactly. If you work in China–Vietnam exchanges in the future, that kind of understanding will be very important.
