每日一词:威武Wēiwǔ
威武在这里指有威风或气派,中国的现代年轻人会直接取读音近似的符号"V"来表达对方形象或行为的景仰,但都具有戏谑 搞笑的成分。近似地可以说“霸气”。
如:小强在巷子里打败了两个抢劫犯,真是威武V5" Wei Wu" here means prestige or impressive air around you. In modern Chinese society, the youth will pick up the symbol V directly , which is similar to "Wei Wu" in pronunciation (but v and w is different), to express their admiration toward the image or behavior of others. But they both bear joking and funny meaning. Similarly, we can say Ba Qi.
E.g: Xiao Qiang beat two robberies in the lane, that's totally V5

每日一词:不到黄河心不死 (bù dào huáng hé xīn bù sǐ)
不到黄河心不死 (bù dào huáng hé xīn bù sǐ)
解释:
不到黄河心不死(bù dào huánghé xīn bù sǐ):比喻不到绝境(无路可走的地步)不肯死心,也比喻不达到目的决不罢休。Meanings:
不到黄河心不死(bù dào huánghé xīn bù sǐ):Chinese often use this phrase to indicate one will never give up Until all hope is gone.
历史演变:
“不见黄河心不死”是从“不见横祸心不死”演变而来的。因“横祸”与“黄河”古字音上相似,久而久之,人们为了表达得更直接、形象,并避开不吉,就把它变成“不到黄河心不死”。Historical Evolution:
It’s said long long ago, ancient Chinese people they didn’t say “不到黄河心不死(bú dào huáng hé xīn bù sǐ )”, they express this phrase as “不见横祸心不死(bú dào huáng hé xīn bù sǐ )”. “横祸(héng huò )” was pronounced similar with “黄河” in old days means accident, but Chinese people thought “横祸(héng huò )”is an unlucky word, so they used “不到黄河心不死(bú dào huáng hé xīn bù sǐ )” to substitute it as time passed.
