有趣的汉字4

我喜欢在空余时间翻阅《新华字典》、《汉语词典》，学到了以前从未在课堂上学过的词汇，同时也发现了一些有趣的汉字。

I like to read Xinhua Dictionary and Chinese dictionary in my spare time. I have learned vocabulary that I have never learned in class before, and also found some interesting Chinese characters.

一次，我拿字典检字时，偶然发现“呵”字竟然有着6种读音，分别是ā、á、ǎ、à、a、he，“呵”在不同的语言环境下有着不同的读法。以前我遇到的多音字大多是双胞胎，而“呵”却有6种读音，真是太奇妙了！我又寻根问底，找到了它们的意思：ā是叹词，表示赞叹、惊奇；á表示追问，也是叹词；ǎ表示疑惑；à表示应诺、醒悟；a（轻声）是副词，在句末，表示吩咐、催促；he表示怒斥，也有惊讶的意思。

Once, when I checked the dictionary, I found that the word "ha" had six pronunciation, namely "਑", "á", "ǎ", "à", "a", "he", which had different pronunciation in different language environment. Most of the polysyllabic characters I met before are twins, but "ah" has 6 kinds of pronunciation. It's amazing! I went back to the bottom of the sentence and found their meanings: ā is an exclamation, which means admiration and surprise; á is a question, which is also an exclamation; ǎ is a doubt; à is a promise and disillusionment; a (whisper) is an adverb, which means command and urge at the end of the sentence; he is a rage, which also means surprise.

另一次，我在预习课文时，用部首检字法查“成”字，发现下面还有“戊”、“戌”、“戍”字与它十分相似，只有一笔之差，仿佛孪生兄弟一般。为了更好地分辨这几个字，我又查阅了每个字的意思：“戊”发音wù，是地支的第五位，生活中也常表示第五个或第五件；“戌”发音xū，是天干的十一位；“戍”发音shù，意思是军队防卫，如：卫戍、戍边等。

Another time, when I was previewing the text, I checked the word "Cheng" with the method of radical checking, and found that the words "Wu", "Xu" and "Shu" were very similar to it, with only one difference, just like twins. In order to better distinguish these words, I looked up the meaning of each word: "e" means "W ù", which is the fifth branch of the earth. In daily life, it often means the fifth or fifth item; "Xu" means "x ū", which is the eleventh member of the heavenly stem; "Shu" means "sh ù", which means "military defense", such as: garrison, border defense, etc.

汉字真是太奇妙，太有趣了。我希望我能更多地发现这些有趣的汉字。

Chinese characters are so wonderful and interesting. I hope I can find more interesting Chinese characters.
