| 人海 (rěn hǎi) “sea of people” There’s nothing quite like looking down into a crowd and seeing the motion of the bobbing heads and swishing arms roll like waves. Another similar phrase in Chinese is 人山人海 (rén shān rén hǎi), which quite literally means “people mountain people sea” but conveys a similar meaning to 人海 (rěn hǎi) “sea of people.”  身旁 (shēn páng) “beside, alongside” This phrase is evocative, equating emotional and physical accompaniment. In this way, it’s similar to the English phrase “at/by one’s side,” so 在我的身旁 (zài wǒ de shēn páng) would mean “at/by my side, beside me.” 身旁 (shēn páng) differs from the English in its directness, as it literally refers to the side of the body. 彷徨 (páng huáng) “to pace back and forth, be indecisive” Similar to this is the word 徘徊 (pái huái) “to pace back and forth, dither, linger.” Both of these words express a sort of insecurity – a hesitation. 青春的路上充满了彷徨 (qīng chūn de lù shàng chōng mǎn le páng huáng) = The road of youth is full of indecision. 控制 (kòng zhì) “to control, contain” Control is something every language learner has to grapple with. We have to learn to contain time-wasting impulses and to harness productive energies. In the event that a student fails to stop themselves from wasting hours scrolling through social media, they might say: 我控制不住自己 (wǒ kòng zhì bù zhù zì jǐ) = I can’t control myself. #Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
