Niveau 4 · Livre 1
“将要”:说将来会发生的事
“将要”: Talking about a future event
“将要” comes before a verb to describe an action or change expected in the future. It is common in narration and relatively formal language, and may be used with a specific time expression.
Exemples
- 新学期将要开始。The new term is about to begin.
- 我们下周将要学习怎样介绍自己做的东西。Next week, we will learn how to introduce things we have made.
“先……再/然后……”:动作的顺序

“敢+动词”:有勇气做某事
“敢+verb”: Having the courage to do something
“敢” comes before a verb and means having the courage to do something. “不敢” means not having the courage because of fear or worry. It differs from “会,” which expresses ability.
Exemples
- 他会弹吉他,可是还不敢在很多人面前弹。He can play the guitar, but does not yet dare to play in front of a large audience.
- 和王明一起练了几次以后,李安敢在大家面前说几句话了。After practising with Wang Ming a few times, Li An had the courage to say a few words in front of everyone.
“互相”:你对我,我也对你
Reciprocal actions with “互相”
“互相” comes before a verb and describes an action going both ways. For example, “我们互相了解” means I get to know you and you get to know me, not simply that we both do the same thing. The subject may be plural, such as “我们” or “他们,” or may name both sides.
Exemples
- 我们互相问了很多问题。We asked each other many questions.
- 露西和郭言互相介绍家乡的生活。Lucy and Guo Yan tell each other about life in their hometowns.
“一屋子”:用名词表示数量
“一屋子”: A roomful of something
“屋子” can be used as a measure word. “一屋子家具” means a roomful of furniture. Other examples are “一桌子菜” (a tableful of dishes) and “一盒鸡蛋” (a box of eggs).
Exemples
- 搬家那天,客厅里是一屋子箱子。On moving day, the living room was full of boxes.
- 桌上放着一盒鸡蛋。There is a box of eggs on the table.
“一大间屋子”:数量短语中的形容词
“一大间屋子”: An adjective in a quantity phrase
In some quantity phrases, an adjective can go between the numeral and the measure word, as in “一大间屋子” (a large room) or “一小杯水” (a small glass of water). These are conventional combinations; the pattern cannot be applied freely to every phrase.
Exemples
- 他们租了一大间屋子。They rented a large room.
- 我只喝了一小杯水。I only drank a small glass of water.
把字句:宾语后也可以有状语
A 把 sentence with an adverbial after the object
In some 把 sentences, an adverbial describing manner can come after the object and before the verb. In “把鸡蛋慢慢倒进去,” “慢慢” describes how the pouring is done.

“袋”:表示一袋的数量
“袋”: A bagful
“袋” can be a measure word for a bag of something, as in “一袋青菜” (a bag of greens) or “两袋米” (two bags of rice). Bag sizes vary, so a bag is not a fixed weight.
Exemples

- 请把这两袋米放在门边。Please put these two bags of rice by the door.
“一盒”:用容器表示数量
“一盒”: Measuring by container
“盒子” names the container, while “盒” can be used as a measure word. “一盒葡萄” refers to a box of grapes; “一个盒子” refers to the box itself.

“表扬/批评+人+行为”
Praising or criticising someone for an action
After “表扬” or “批评,” the person can be followed by a verb phrase describing the action being evaluated, as in “表扬他认真准备节目.” The action makes the evaluation specific.
Exemples

- 老师批评他上课玩手机。The teacher criticised him for using his phone in class.
“不是……而是……”:说明真正的情况
