Hello Chinese enthusiast!

In this issue, we're all set to tickle your funny bone with a joke ('谁是最坏的超级英雄? 失败的人!'), while teaching you some fascinating new words like 让, 车辆, 裂缝, 关键, and 连接.

ràng

The Chinese word '让' is used the same way as 'let' in English. It means to allow or permit someone to do something. For example, '让我帮你' means 'let me help you'.

Here's how to use it:

  • 那些天真的想法让我笑了出来。
    Nàxiē tiānzhēn de xiǎngfǎ ràng wǒ xiào le chūlái.
  • 你的决定让我们都感到意外。
    Nǐ de juédìng ràng wǒmen dōu gǎndào yìwài.
  • 让我照顾你。
    Ràng wǒ zhàogù nǐ.

车辆

chē liàng

In Chinese, '车辆' is used to refer to any wheeled vehicle that moves people or items from one place to another, like cars, buses, or trucks. It can also be used in a broader sense to include any type of transportation machine, like a bicycle or even a horse-drawn carriage.

Here's how to use it:

  • 车辆需要维修
    Chēliàng xūyào wéixiū
  • 那辆车辆已经出发了
    Nà liàng chēliàng yǐjīng chūfā le
  • 请不要在这里停车辆
    Qǐng bùyào zài zhèlǐ tíng chēliàng

裂缝

liè fèng

In Chinese, '裂缝' refers to a fissure, a line of breakage made by cracking or splitting, like a crack on a wall or mirror. It can be used metaphorically to describe people who have a weakness that could cause them to fail.

Here's how to use it:

  • 这裂缝很深
    zhè lièfèng hěn shēn
  • 这条裂缝横贯整个山脊
    zhè tiáo lièfèng héngguàn zhěnggè shānjǐ
  • 在石头上找裂缝
    zài shítou shàng zhǎo lièfèng

关键

guānjiàn

In Chinese, '关键' (guānjiàn) means critical or key. It can be used in many contexts similarly to the English word, from '关键问题' (key issue), '关键时刻' (critical moment), to '关键人物' (key person); it denotes something of most importance or the pivotal factor in a situation.

Here's how to use it:

  • 这是关键的问题。
    zhè shì guānjiàn de wèntí.
  • 成功的关键在于勤奋。
    chénggōng de guānjiàn zàiyú qínfèn.
  • 关键的因素是资源。
    guānjiàn de yīnsù shì zīyuán.

连接

lián jiē

The Chinese word '连接' is used similarly to the English word 'connect'. It can be used to indicate the idea of linking, attaching or joining two or more things together. For instance, in the context of internet or technology, '连接' may refer to establishing a network connection. In a social or relational context, '连接' may refer to establishing or making a connection or relationship with someone.

Here's how to use it:

  • 查询连接的状态。
    cháxún liánjiē de zhuàngtài.
  • 这个电线不能连接电视。
    zhège diànxiàn bùnéng liánjiē diànshì.
  • 连接打印机的电源。
    liánjiē dǎyìnjī de diànyuán.
