戏法

xì fǎ

In Chinese, 'trick' is translated as '戏法'. This word is generally used in the context of performing some skill or play, like magic tricks or some kind of deceptive skill. It's not commonly used to imply trickery in interpersonal relationships. So, usage is situational and context-dependent.

Here's how to use it:

• 他們的戲法讓所有人都驚訝不已。
  Tāmen de xì fǎ ràng suǒyǒu rén dōu jīngyà bùyǐ.
• 我學會了新的魔術戲法。
  Wǒ xuéhuì le xīn de móshù xìfǎ.
• 他的戲法把我嚇壞了。
  Tā de xìfǎ bǎ wǒ xià huàile.

救世主

jiù shì zhǔ

The word '救世主' is used in Chinese to refer to a person who saves people from danger or evil. It is often used in religious contexts. However, it can also be used metaphorically to refer to someone who has a significant positive impact on a difficult situation.

Here's how to use it:

• 救世主是我一生的希望
  jiù shì zhǔ shì wǒ yī shēng de xī wàng
• 我们需要救世主的引导
  wǒ men xū yào jiù shì zhǔ de yǐn dǎo

供应

gōng yìng

In Chinese, '供应' refers to the act of providing something that is needed or wanted. It can be used in various contexts, such as in economics to discuss the production of goods and services, or in everyday language to talk about providing for someone's needs.

Here's how to use it:

jǐnggào

The Chinese word '警告' is used in the same way as the English word 'warning'. It can be a noun or verb, used to alert someone about something dangerous, risky, or from a potential problem. It can also be used to indicate a cautionary advice.

Here's how to use it:

• 警告你不要去那个地方。
  jǐnggào nǐ bùyào qù nàgè dìfang.

It is mostly used in the context of eventually dispersing or spreading a substance evenly over an area through the use of pressure or force.
