非凡

fēi fán

非凡 in Chinese can be used in the same way as the English word 'remarkable.' It is mainly used to describe something extraordinary or something that draws attention due to its distinction, brilliance, or exceptional nature. It could describe a person, event, or object alike. For example, a remarkable achievement could be described as '非凡的成就'.

Here's how to use it:

  • 她展现出非凡的勇气。
    tā zhǎn xiàn chū fēi fán de yǒng qì.
  • 这是一个非凡的机会。
    zhè shì yī gè fēi fán de jī huì.

    zhè bù diàn yǐng fēi fán de chù dòng le wǒ.

屏幕

píng mù

In Chinese, '屏幕' is used to refer to any type of screen, be it a computer screen, a TV screen, or a movie screen. It can be used in various contexts, similarly to the English usage of 'screen'. For example, you can say 我的电脑屏幕坏了 which translates to 'My computer screen is broken'.

Here's how to use it:

  • 我需要更大的屏幕来播放视频。
    Wǒ xūyào gèng dà de píngmù lái bōfàng shìpín.
  • 屏幕亮度可以调节。
    Píngmù liàngdù kěyǐ tiáojié.

    Píngmù de chǐcùn shì duōshǎo?

爷爷

yéye

In Chinese, the word for paternal grandfather is '爷爷' (yéye). It is usually used to address the father of one's father. This term is commonly used in both formal and informal contexts.

Here's how to use it:

  • 他是我爷爷。
    Tā shì wǒ yéyé.
  • 爷爷热爱音乐。
    Yéyé rè'ài yīnyuè.
  • 我帮爷爷拖地。
    Wǒ bāng yéyé tuō dì.

必要地

bì yào de

In Chinese, '必要地' is an adverb and translates to 'necessarily'. It is often used when indicating something that is unavoidably true, essential, or a must due to certain circumstances or rules. 下雨的时候,必要地要带伞 (When it's raining, it's necessary to bring an umbrella).

Here's how to use it:

  • 我们必要地明天完成这个项目。
    Wǒmen bìyào dì mínɡtiān wánchénɡ zhèɡe xiànɡmù.

  • 他必要地学习这门课程。
    Tā bìyào dì xuéxí zhè mén kèchéng.

轨道

guǐ dào

The Chinese term '轨道' is used for representing the English word 'track'. It is commonly applied in train tracks, music tracks, or even tracking a path or course. Beside physical tracks, this term can also metaphorically describe the path someone takes in life or career.
