View in browser 

Hello Language Enthusiasts,

Dive into our latest edition where we unravel the wisdom of the proverb '狐假虎威' and explore everyday Chinese words like 教育的, 含义, 先前, 触摸, 任何.

教育的

jiào yù de

The Chinese word '教育的' is used to describe things that are related to teaching or learning. It can be used to describe subjects, experiences, materials, or activities that provide knowledge or skill improvement, much like the English word 'educational'.

Here's how to use it:

  • 教育的重要性不能被忽视。
    Jiàoyù de zhòngyào xìng bùnéng bèi hūshì.
  • 我们提供全面的教育服务。
    Wǒmen tígōng quánmiàn de jiàoyù fúwù.
  • 这些都是健康教育的一部分。
    Zhèxiē dōu shì jiànkāng jiàoyù de yībùfèn.

含义

hán yì

The Chinese word '含义' translates to 'meaning' in English. It is used to express the significance or purpose of a term or phrase, just like in English. It can be used in various contexts, such as understanding the '含义' of a specific Chinese character, a sentence, or a concept. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in efficient and effective communication.

Here's how to use it:

  • 含义不明的词。
    Hán yì bù míng de cí.
  • 他说话的含义我没听懂。
    Tā shuō huà de hán yì wǒ méi tīng dǒng.
  • 你的话含义深远。
    Nǐ de huà hán yì shēn yuǎn.

先前

xiān qián

The Chinese word '先前' is analogous to 'prior' in English. It is typically used to reference something that occurred before a certain point in time. Just like 'prior', '先前' can be utilized in various contexts, including but not limited to discussing prior experiences, prior knowledge, or actions done prior to a specific event.

Here's how to use it:

  • 先前的时间我们都浪费了。
    xiānqián de shíjiān wǒmen dōu làngfèi le.
  • 先前的计划需要改变。
    xiānqián de jìhuà xūyào gǎibiàn.
  • 先前他已经给我一些提示。
    xiānqián tā yǐjīng gěi wǒ yīxiē tíshì.

触摸

chù mō

In Chinese, '触摸' is used similarly to 'touch' in English. It can refer to coming into physical contact with something, or using your fingers to interact with a touchscreen device. Just like in English, it can also be used metaphorically to mean 'affecting someone emotionally'.

Here's how to use it:

  • 触摸屏很敏感。
    Chùmō píng hěn mǐngǎn.
  • 触摸是我们感知世界的方式之一。
    Chùmō shì wǒmen gǎnzhī shìjiè de fāngshì zhī yī.
  • 他的手指触摸到冻伤,失去了感觉。
    Tā de shǒuzhǐ chùmō dào dòngshāng, shīqù le gǎnjué.

任何

rèn hé

The Chinese word '任何' is used similarly to how 'any' is used in English, conveying the same non-specific or broad concept. It can be used in both positive and negative sentences. Like 'any' in English, '任何' can be used with both singular and plural nouns.

Here's how to use it:

  • 他向任何人都不会承认错误
    tā xiàng rènhé rén dōu bù huì chéngrèn cuòwù
  • 我们必须避免任何形式的浪费
    wǒmen bìxū bìmiǎn rènhé xíngshì de làngfèi
  • 任何问题我都能解决
    rènhéwèntí wǒ dōu néng jiějué
