The bike Xiaoyu has just unlocked will not open. Chen Hao explains what to report and where to park.
Xiaoyu
陈浩，这辆车我扫了码，锁还是开不开。
Chén Hào, zhè liàng chē wǒ sǎo le mǎ, suǒ háishi kāi bù kāi.
Chen Hao, I have scanned the code on this bike but the lock still will not open.
Chen Hao
可能是这辆坏了。你换一辆试试。
Kěnéng shì zhè liàng huài le. Nǐ huàn yī liàng shìshi.
This one may be broken. Try another.
Xiaoyu
换了。这一辆一扫就开了。
Huàn le. Zhè yī liàng yī sǎo jiù kāi le.
Done. That one opened the moment I scanned it.
Chen Hao
那刚才那一辆，你要在手机上报一下。
Nà gāngcái nà yī liàng, nǐ yào zài shǒujī shàng bào yīxià.
Then you should report the first one on your phone.
Xiaoyu
怎么报？
Zěnme bào ?
How do I report it?
Chen Hao
点那个红色的按钮，把车的情况写上。
Diǎn nà gè hóngsè de àn niǔ, bǎ chē de qíngkuàng xiě shàng.
Tap the red button and write down what is wrong with the bike.
Xiaoyu
不报会怎么样？
Bù bào huì zěnmeyàng ?
What happens if I do not report it?
Chen Hao
会一直算你的钱，因为系统以为你还在骑。
Huì yīzhí suàn nǐ de qián, yīnwèi xì tǒng yǐwéi nǐ hái zài qí.
It will keep charging you, because the system thinks you are still riding.
Xiaoyu
那我现在就报。骑完停在哪儿？
Nà wǒ xiànzài jiù bào. Qí wán tíng zài nǎr ?
Then I will report it now. Where do I park when I have finished?
Chen Hao
停在白线里面。停在外面会被罚五块。
Tíng zài bái xiàn lǐmiàn. Tíng zài wàimian huì bèi fá wǔ kuài.
Inside the white lines. Outside them you get a five yuan fine.
Xiaoyu
我上次就停错了，钱是第二天才扣的。
Wǒ shàng cì jiù tíng cuò le, qián shì dì'èr tiān cái kòu de.
I parked wrongly last time, and the money was only taken the next day.
Chen Hao
对。而且一个月被罚三次，就不能再用了。
Duì. Érqiě yī gè yuè bèi fá sān cì, jiù bùnéng zài yòng le.
That is right. And three fines in a month and you cannot use them any more.
Xiaoyu
那我以后一停好车就拍一张照片。
Nà wǒ yǐhòu yī tíng hǎo chē jiù pāi yī Zhāng zhàopiàn.
From now on I will take a photograph the moment I have parked.
锁开不开 means the lock will not open: it is a verb followed by its negated complement of result, 开…不开. Do not confuse it with the repetition question 开不开, which would ask "does it open or not?". In writing the two look identical; in speech the question rises and the statement falls, and it is the audio that separates them.
会被罚五块: you will be charged five yuan. No subject performs the action, because no person does: it is the system. Chinese uses 被 with no agent whenever the doer is an institution, a machine or plain obviousness, and it is the normal form of regulations. 会 adds the value of a foreseeable consequence.
钱是第二天才扣的: it was only the next day that the money was taken. The mould 是…的 brackets what is being stressed, here the moment, and the fact itself is not in question. It serves the same way for place (是在北京买的) and for the doer (是他做的), already seen in lesson 4.
