    [ One Word 2 ] Unit 单位 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

    今天咱们“一个词”专栏要讲的词是“单位”。 jīn tiān | zán men | “yī gè cí” | zhuān lán | yào | jiǎng | de | cí | shì | “dān wèi” Today, the word we’re covering in our "One Word" column is "dān wèi" (unit/organization). “单位”这个词大概有三个意思, “dān wèi” | zhè ge | cí | dà gài | yǒu | sān gè | yì si The word "dān wèi" has about three meanings: 第一,表示工作机构, dì yī | biǎo shì | gōng zuò | jī gòu 1. Referring to a work organization, 在口语中直接指代 “上班的地方”, zài | kǒu yǔ | zhōng | zhí jiē | zhǐ dài | “shàng bān | de | dì fang” and in spoken language, it directly means "the place where one works"— 而且通常是国家机构。 ér qiě | tōng cháng | shì | guó jiā | jī gòu usually a state-owned or public institution. 我们来看一些例句: wǒ men | lái | kàn | yī xiē | lì jù Let’s look at some examples: 我家离单位不远。 wǒ jiā | lí | dān wèi | bù yuǎn My home is not far from my workplace. 他在科研单位工作。 tā | zài | kē yán | dān wèi | gōng zuò He works in a scientific research institution. 你们单位有多少年假? nǐ men | dān wèi | yǒu | duō shao | nián jià How many days of annual leave does your organization offer? 我今天要去单位处理一些紧急工作。 wǒ | jīn tiān | yào | qù | dān wèi | chǔ lǐ | yī xiē | jǐn jí | gōng zuò I need to go to the office today to handle some urgent work. 他从原单位辞职后,创业开了一家小店。 tā | cóng | yuán | dān wèi | cí zhí | hòu | chuàng yè | kāi | le | yī jiā | xiǎo diàn After resigning from his previous employer, he started his own business and opened a small shop. 如果是私人企业呢,一般说“公司”, rú guǒ | shì | sī rén | qǐ yè | ne | yī bān | shuō | “gōng sī” For private enterprises, we usually say "gōng sī" (company): 比如:我们公司新换了办公地址。 bǐ rú | wǒ men | gōng sī | xīn | huàn | le | bàn gōng | dì zhǐ For example: Our company just moved to a new office address. 第二,表示计量标准, dì èr | biǎo shì | jì liàng | biāo zhǔn 2. Referring to a unit of measurement: 比如:长度单位,时间单位。 bǐ rú | cháng dù | dān wèi | shí jiān | dān wèi For example: unit of length, unit of time. 这个零件的计量单位是毫米。 zhè ge | líng jiàn | de | jì liàng | dān wèi | shì | háo mǐ The unit of measurement for this part is millimeters. 温度的单位有摄氏度和华氏度两种。 wēn dù | de | dān wèi | yǒu | shè shì dù | hé | huá shì dù | liǎng zhǒng There are two units of temperature: Celsius and Fahrenheit. 米、千克、秒都是国际标准单位。 mǐ | qiān kè | miǎo | dōu shì | guó jì | biāo zhǔn | dān wèi Meters, kilograms, and seconds are all international standard units. 电压的基本单位是伏特,电流的单位是安培。 diàn yā | de | jī běn | dān wèi | shì | fú tè | diàn liú | de | dān wèi | shì | ān péi The basic unit of voltage is the volt, and the unit of electric current is the ampere. 第三,表示组成部分。 dì sān | biǎo shì | zǔ chéng | bù fèn 3. Referring to a component part: 家庭是社会的最小单位。 jiā tíng | shì | shè huì | de | zuì xiǎo | dān wèi The family is the smallest unit of society. 细胞是构成生物体的基本单位。 xì bāo | shì | gòu chéng | shēng wù tǐ | de | jī běn | dān wèi The cell is the basic unit of living organisms. 这个机器由上百个独立的单位组成。 zhè ge | jī qì | yóu | shàng bǎi | gè | dú lì | de | dān wèi | zǔ chéng This machine is composed of hundreds of independent units. 像素是数字图像的基本组成单位。 xiàng sù | shì | shù zì | tú xiàng | de | jī běn | zǔ chéng | dān wèi The pixel is the basic component unit of digital images. 好了,这就是“单位”的三个用法, hǎo le | zhè | jiù shì | “dān wèi” | de | sān gè | yòng fǎ Okay, these are the three usages of "dān wèi". 如果你有什么问题,欢迎给我发邮件哦。 rú guǒ | nǐ | yǒu | shén me | wèn tí | huān yíng | gěi | wǒ | fā | yóu jiàn | ó If you have any questions, feel free to send me emails!

    语言难学, yǔ yán | nán | xué Language is hard to learn, 更难学的是语言背后的文化。 gèng | nán | xué | de | shì | yǔ yán | bèi hòu | de | wén huà and the culture behind the language is even harder. 我们可以和外国人简单聊天, wǒ men | kě yǐ | hé | wài guó rén | jiǎn dān | liáo tiān We can have simple conversations with foreigners, 但谈话稍稍深入, dàn | tán huà | shāo shāo | shēn rù but once the conversation goes a little deeper, 就发现插不进话了。 jiù | fā xiàn | chā | bù jìn | huà | le we find ourselves unable to join in. 比如他们从小就看的影视剧, bǐ rú | tā men | cóng xiǎo | jiù | kàn | de | yǐng shì jù For example, the film and TV shows they watched since childhood, 比如他们都知道的各种明星, bǐ rú | tā men | dōu | zhī dào | de | gè zhǒng | míng xīng the various celebrities they all know, 比如他们特有的习俗。 bǐ rú | tā men | tè yǒu | de | xí sú and their unique customs. 中国说唱歌曲《八方来财》, zhōng guó | shuō chàng | gē qǔ | 《bā fāng | lái cái》 The Chinese rap song "Eight Directions Bring Wealth", 好像在很多国家都比较流行, hǎo xiàng | zài | hěn duō | guó jiā | dōu | bǐ jiào | liú xíng seems to be quite popular in many countries, 这个歌手的热度甚至超过了很多顶级歌星。 zhè ge | gē shǒu | de | rè dù | shèn zhì | chāo guò | le | hěn duō | dǐng jí | gē xīng and the singer's popularity has even surpassed many top singers. 我们也是通过短视频,才了解他的歌。 wǒ men | yě shì | tōng guò | duǎn shì pín cái | liǎo jiě | tā | de | gē We also learned about his songs through short videos. 我本想把它作为歌曲专栏的一期节目, wǒ | běn xiǎng | bǎ | tā | zuò wéi | gē qǔ | zhuān lán | de | yī qī | jié mù I originally wanted to feature it as an episode in the song column, 来解析一下这首歌的歌词, lái | jiě xī | yī xià | zhè shǒu | gē | de | gē cí to analyze the lyrics of this song, 但发现它的歌词相对难一些, dàn | fā xiàn | tā | de | gē cí | xiāng duì | nán | yī xiē but found that the lyrics are relatively difficult— 难的就是其中的文化。 nán | de | jiù shì | qí zhōng | de | wén huà the difficulty lies in the cultural references. 比如“一阴一阳之谓道”、“紫气东来”这些, bǐ rú | “yī yīn | yī yáng | zhī wèi dào” | “zǐ qì | dōng lái” | zhè xiē For example, phrases like "One yin and one yang constitute the Dao" and "Purple qi comes from the east" 很难解释, hěn | nán | jiě shì are hard to explain. “阴阳”的概念需要读过《道德经》才能了解。 “yīn yáng” | de | gài niàn | xū yào | dú guò | 《dào dé jīng》 | cái néng | liǎo jiě The concept of "yin and yang" can only be understood by reading the book 《道德经》. 再比如,“你不出手 说聊斋”, zài | bǐ rú | “nǐ | bù | chū shǒu | shuō | liáo zhāi” Another example: "You don't act, just talk about '聊斋'", 《聊斋》是古代一本写鬼故事的书。 《liáo zhāi》 | shì | gǔ dài | yī běn | xiě | guǐ gù shì | de | shū "Liaozhai" is an ancient book about ghost stories. 还有就是它的歌词省略了很多文字, hái yǒu | jiù shì | tā | de | gē cí | shěng lüè | le | hěn duō | wén zì Additionally, the lyrics omit a lot of words, 用了很多成语, yòng le | hěn duō | chéng yǔ use many idioms, 逻辑也很跳跃, luó jí | yě | hěn | tiào yuè and the logic is quite fragmented, 更是难以理解。 gèng shì | nán yǐ | lǐ jiě making it even harder to understand. 它不像普通的歌曲, tā | bù xiàng | pǔ tōng | de | gē qǔ Unlike ordinary songs, 唱着“我爱你,你伤害了我”, chàng zhe | “wǒ | ài | nǐ | nǐ | shāng hài | le | wǒ” which sing straightforward lines like "I love you, you hurt me", 这样的大白话。 zhè yàng | de | dà bái huà such plain and simple words.
