Book excerpt: For most newcomers to Chinese, it is a big challenge to learn enough of Chinese vocabulary. Many of my friends have told me that, when they pick up their Chinese textbook, they feel as if they are knocking onto a "Great-Wall" which they cannot get over. As you know, till now, the Chinese language has been playing its role for over 5,000 years, while many of its companions - by which I mean other ancient languages - had vanished into the river of history. One of the most important elements to support the survival of Chinese language is --- SIMPLICITY. The purpose of creating this book is very simple: to help you to understand the mechanisms and rules of Chinese vocabulary and expand your knowledge of Chinese words faster than you could ever have expected. Of course, everything in this book is based around simplicity and effectiveness - No intricate jargons, No maddening terms, and even No rote memorizations! 對於大多數中文學習者而言，掌握足夠的詞彙是一個巨大的挑戰。很多學習者告訴我，當他們一開始翻開中文課本時，就感覺自己一頭撞在一睹難以逾越的高牆上。 正如大家所知道的，中文已經有5000年的歷史，而歷經歲月磨礪之後，中文仍然存活下來，並且更加生機盎然。實際上，支撐中文存活下來的最為重要的原因之一，其實就是它的"簡單"。 這本書的目的很簡單，就是説明學習者理解中文詞彙系統背後的奧秘，並且幫助他們以前所未有的效率擴充詞彙。這一切是基於輕鬆和有效的基礎之上----沒有難懂的術語，沒有令人抓狂的條文，甚至沒有令人痛苦的死記硬背！ Contents of This Book Chapter 1 Basic Concepts and Background Knowledge 基本概念與背景知識 Chapter 2 Fundamental Mechanism for Word-Building 詞彙構成基本機制 Chapter 3 Basic Principles in Applications 基本應用原則 Chapter 4 Basic Modes in Applications 詞彙基本構成模式 Chapter 5 Word-Building by Combining Nouns 運用名詞組合構成詞彙 Chapter 6 Word-Building by Combining Adjectives 運用形容片語合構成詞彙 Chapter 7 Word-Building by Combining Verbs 運用動詞組合構成詞彙 Chapter 8 Word-Building by Combining Nouns and Adjectives 運用名詞和形容片語合構成詞彙 Chapter 9 Word-Building by Combining Nouns and Verbs (N+V) 運用名詞與動詞組合構成詞彙 (名+動) Chapter 10 Word-Building by Combining Verbs and Nouns (V+N) 運用動詞與名詞組合構成詞彙 (動+名) Chapter 11 Word-Building Related to Adverbs 與副詞相關的構詞模式 Chapter 12 Special Modes for Word-Building 特殊構詞模式 Summary 總結 Epilogue 後記 About the Author Zhou Xiaogeng has been working on research of the Chinese language as well as the development of educational products for more than 20 years.

Together with the basic Chinese dictionary parts, this vocabulary book is a great resource to support you throughout the process of learning Chinese and comes in particularly handy at times when there is no internet to look up words and phrases.

Download or read book English Chinese Mini Dictionary written by Taebum Kim and published by Core Voca. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book lists approximately 4,800 core English words with standard Chinese (Mandarin) equivalents including standard American pronunciation. Main entries are in English alphabetically with standard American pronunciation with focus on stressed syllable*in bold print.. In the next line, pasts of speech label ([n.] for nouns and [v.] for verbs) and the entry’s Chinese equivalents in Pinyin (Romanized standard Chinese pronunciation) followed by Chinese characters (both simplified and traditional if applicable). A syllable is part of a word that contains one vowel sound. In every word of two or more syllables, one syllable is stressed. It’s called ‘stressed syllable’. The vowel sound in that syllable is louder, higher in pitch, and longer than the other vowel sounds in the same word. The contrast between stressed and unstressed syllables is very important because it helps to create the rhythm of English. The native English speakers rely more on stressed syllable to understand what you say than on the individual sounds of the word. This book is ideal for learners of English as a second language who want to communicate more effectively and also for learners of Chinese who know English.
