Hello!

Embark on a linguistic journey where 'clouds' drift into 'excellent grades', and new words like 'warning', 'plump', and 'everywhere' await!

良好的学术成绩

liáng hǎo de xué shù chéng jì

In Chinese, '良好的学术成绩' is used to describe a student's excellent performance in their studies, typically including high grades and a strong understanding of the subject matter. It signifies that the individual has demonstrated consistency and excellence in their academic pursuits.

Here's how to use it:

  • 她在学校里取得了良好的学术成绩。
    tā zài xuéxiào lǐ qǔdé liánghǎo de xuéshù chéngjī.
  • 良好的学术成绩能够帮助你申请更好的大学。
    liánghǎo de xuéshù chéngjī nénggòu bāngzhù nǐ shēnqǐng gèng hǎo de dàxué.
  • 为了获得奖学金,学生们需要保持良好的学术成绩。
    wèile huòdé jiǎngxuéjīn, xuéshēngmen xūyào bǎochí liánghǎo de xuéshù chéngjī.

警告

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:

  • 这个警告是真的吗?
    zhège jǐnggào shì zhēn de ma?
  • 警告已经发出。
    jǐnggào yǐjīng fāchū.
  • 警告是如何工作的?
    jǐnggào shì rúhé gōngzuò de?

pàng

In Chinese, '胖' is used to describe someone or something that is overweight or large in size. It can be used for people, animals, or objects. Unlike in English, '胖' often has a less negative connotation, unless it is used in a specific context that makes it clear the speaker is criticising someone's weight.

Here's how to use it:

  • 胖人应该节食。
    Pàng rén yīnggāi jiéshí
  • 胖女孩也可以很自信。
    Pàng nǚhái yě kěyǐ hěn zìxìn
  • 胖有胖的优点。
    Pàng yǒu pàng de yōudiǎn

yún

The Chinese word for 'cloud' is '云', pronounced 'yún'. It is used in the same way as in English, to refer to a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground. In the digital context, it can also refer to 'cloud computing' or 'cloud storage', referred to us '云计算' or '云存储'.

Here's how to use it:

  • 我看到云朵在天空中。
    Wǒ kàn dào yúnduǒ zài tiānkōng zhōng.
  • 我在云端看到了祥云。
    Wǒ zài yúnduān kàn dào le xiáng yún.
  • 云海中的景色十分美丽。
    Yún hǎi zhōng de jǐngsè shífēn měilì.

到处

dào chù

The Chinese word '到处' is similar to the English word 'everywhere'. It's used to represent every place or all directions within the context that it's used. For instance, it can be used in sentences like '他到处寻找她' meaning 'He is looking for her everywhere'.

Here's how to use it:

  • 我已经到处寻找了。
    Wǒ yǐjīng dào chù xúnzhǎo le.
  • 她目前正在到处旅行。
    Tā mùqián zhèngzài dào chù lǚxíng.
  • 他到处都留下了足迹。
    Tā dào chù dōu liú xià le zújì.
