每星期,思展各大社交平台 (@sagebooksHK) 與讀者分享點點滴滴的漢字常識,中英對照。家長和小朋友都可以一起學習喔。
這裏是過去一季的總覽。
Every week, on Sagebooks Hongkong’s social media platforms (@sagebooksHK) feature bite-size Chinese lessons, bilingual in Chinese and English. We welcome parents and children come and learn together.
Here is a summary of what has been featured in the past season.
「老」字,既可以表示年歲大、時間長;又可以用於某些名詞的前綴,例如:老師、老虎、老鼠……
老 can be used for someone who’s aged, or long time. It can also be used as a prefix of some words, such as 老師、老虎、老鼠……
「放」字和其他漢字有點不同:老的部首在右邊,音部是左邊的「方」。
放 is different from many other characters in the way that its bu-shou (radical) is on the right side. The left side indicates its pronunciation.
在古代,「常」是量詞,用於長度單位;至到現今,「常」可以是形容詞或副詞。
In ancient time, 常 was used as a classifier for length. Nowadays, 常 is used as an adjective or adverb.
「行」字是個多音字,有時候可以讀 /xíng/,有時候可以讀 /háng/。
There are two pronunciations for 行: /xíng/ and /háng/.
「苦」可以形容味道,也可以形容感覺。
苦 can be used to describe taste or feelings.
「出」字可以用作為動詞、名詞和副詞,是一個常見且常用的字。
除了我們的示範,還可以考考孩子會如何使用「出」字?相信會得到更多的詞彙組合喔!
出 can be a verb, a noun, or an adverb. It is one of the most used characters.
古時候,「知」字同「智」字意思相通,有「智慧」之義。時至現今,「知」可用作動詞,解為明白或了解;也可用作名詞,解為知識或學問,可見依舊與「智慧」息息相關。
In ancient times, 知 had the meaning of “wisdom” and it could be interchangeable with 智. Nowadays, 知 can be a verb, meaning to know or understand. It can also be a noun, meaning “knowledge”. It is still related to “wisdom” in a sense.
「然」字在連接詞中很是常見,日常用句中經常會用到。
然 is a very commonly used character in many conjunctions.
「定」字有不變之意,不管是用在名詞、形容詞或是動詞上亦然。
定 means “does not change”. Whether it is used as a noun, a verb, or an adjective, this meaning remains the same.
「信」以人之誠實有關,人言就是信。「信」用作名詞是我們把想說的話寫下來;「信」用作動詞,是我們接受了別人的話。所以你信了嗎?
信, written as “person” and “speech”, relates to someone’s honesty and credit. As a noun, it means putting our thoughts into written forms. As a verb, it means to believe.
「本」是指事字,「木」多一劃在古時用以指出草木之根,後又有事物根源之意。
The character 本 originated from 木 (wood), it initially meant the root of trees or plants. Now it also refers to the origin of things and matters.
「空」含什麼都沒有或是虛無之意,是一個非常常用的,不管是在名詞或形容詞都會出現的字。
空 means empty, or “nothingness”. It’s a very commonly used character that can form nouns and adjectives.
「話」是指用聲音表達出來的內容,一般和說話有關的詞彙都會用到「話」字。
話 is the content that we expressed when we speak, and is frequently used in words that relates to speech or sayings.
