อักษรจีน — เขียนและจดจำ
xiān first; before (chapter grammar anchor) เขียน
Compound: walking + person. Original sense: "walking ahead = first / earlier." Modern: 先 (first), 先生 (sir / Mr — Level 1 reuse), 先后 (sequence). Anchors 先...再... compound.
rán thus; so (formal placement; was leak in Bk2 ch9) เขียน
huà plan; draw (in 计划) เขียน
Modern: "plan / divide / draw a line." Anchors 计划 (plan, this chapter). The 刂 (knife) radical on the right links to "cutting / dividing" semantics.
pái arrange; row (in 安排) เขียน
Phono-semantic compound: 扌 (hand) + 非 (fēi, phonetic). Original sense: "to arrange by hand." Modern: 安排 (arrange, this chapter), 排队 (queue — Level 2 elsewhere).
huì meeting; can (Level 1 revisit; in 会议 / 开会) จดจำ
yì discuss (in 会议) จดจำ
bào report (in 报告) จดจำ
xiàng item (in 项目) จดจำ
wù task; service (in 任务) จดจำ
ไวยากรณ์
承接复句 — 先…再… / 先…然后… Sequential compound — first X, then Y
"先 X 再 Y" 和 "先 X 然后 Y" 都表达"动作的先后顺序". 句式: 主语 + 先 + V₁ + (再 / 然后) + V₂. 例: 我先开会再吃饭 = "First I have a meeting, then eat". 三个变化: (1) 先...再...: 紧凑, 强调"再"是同类动作的下一步. (2) 先...然后...: 比较松, "然后"独立成分句, 像英语"and then". (3) 不一定要"先"开头, 也可以"我开会, 然后吃饭". 关键: 两个动作都是同一主语. 多个动作可串: 先 X 再 Y 然后 Z.
Both 先 X 再 Y and 先 X 然后 Y express action sequence. Pattern: Subject + 先 + V₁ + (再 / 然后) + V₂. Example: 我先开会再吃饭 = 'First I'll have the meeting, then eat.' THREE VARIANTS: (1) 先...再... — tight; 再 implies 'next step in the same kind of activity.' (2) 先...然后... — looser; 然后 stands alone as a connector, like English 'and then.' (3) Not required to lead with 先; 我开会, 然后吃饭 is also fine. KEY: same subject across both verbs. Chain three+ verbs as 先 X 再 Y 然后 Z.
- 我先开会再吃饭. Wǒ xiān kāi huì zài chī fàn. First I have a meeting, then I eat.
- 我们先做计划, 然后开始项目. Wǒmen xiān zuò jìhuà, ránhòu kāishǐ xiàngmù. Let's make a plan first, then start the project.
- 黄安先回家, 然后写报告. Huáng Ān xiān huí jiā, ránhòu xiě bàogào. Huang An goes home first, then writes the report.
- 你先安排时间, 我们再说. Nǐ xiān ānpái shíjiān, wǒmen zài shuō. Arrange the time first, then we'll talk.
