The Chinese dialogue text seems to be a little wrong.

  1. 出车一次是30元,以后每公里是30元。

    Using the car one time is 30 yuan. After 3 kilometers, each additional kilometer is 7 yuan. 

In the audio dialogue, the ambulance driver is saying:

出车一次是30元,3公里以后每公里是7元。

Which reflects what the English translation is saying.

Also, there seems to be some Chinese dialogue text missing a little earlier when the ambulance driver is saying that it cannot be deducted from medical insurance:

不行。我们是实时结账的。

I'm not 100% sure that's what it is, could someone listen through and check it?

Seems like it should be 要给红包啊, since they don't get the idea to 凑份子 until later on in the dialogue?

In case anyone is looking for common cold medicine from the West (西药), the Chinese names for Panadol and Tylenol (both are paracetamol) are:

Panadol = 必理痛 bì lǐ tòng

Tylenol = 泰诺 tài nuò

One of the expansion sentences:

他的工资一般般自己生活

Listening to the example pronunciation, the way that 够 is pronounced, it sort of sounds like 足够? I guess they both make sense. And as a bonus I learnt a new word :)

In the expansion, should  撞倒 be 撞到?

You also have to make sure you blow off the germs first though. Wouldn't want to get sick or anything. :)

"越"和"粵"有没有关系?

越南 - Vietnam

粵 - Guangdong

Until now, in my head, I actually thought they were the same character because they were pronounced the same. 

对了,以前听说中文播客要开始粤语的课文,还没有新信息吗?我对粤语的课很有兴趣。

对话在7:16左右:

John: 四五万?!

David:  对,就是那块 ... 。

David说了什么?听起来我不太清楚,我只是听得 “xiao tie pi” 或者 "xiao qie pi"。

谢谢!
