\u8981\u4e0d yào bù<\/p>\n

In the above dialogue, it is used as an indirect way of giving a suggestion, as the speaker uses it to seek co<\/em>nsent of the listener.
Eg. \u4e00\u4e2a\u4eba\u53bb\u770b\u7535\u5f71\u6ca1\u610f\u601d\uff0c\u8981\u4e0d\u6211\u4eec\u4e00\u8d77\u53bb\u5427\u3002
     It’s no fun to go to the movies by myself. How a<\/em>bout we go together?
\u8981\u4e0d can also mean “otherwise”.
Eg. \u6211\u8981\u6253\u7684, \u8981\u4e0d\u6211\u4f1a\u8fdf\u5230\u3002
     I’m taking a taxi, otherwise I’ll be late.
Furthermore, \u8981\u4e0d can be used to offer "either\/or" choices to others, similar to \u6216\u8005
Eg.\u4f60\u8981\u4e0d\u770b\u4e66\u8981\u4e0d\u542c\u97f3\u4e50\u3002
      You can either study or listen to music.
\u90fd …\u4e86 d\u014du… le
It is used to express that something has already happened, similar to "\u5df2\u7ecf……\u4e86". However, it is used more emphatically, implying that the speaker holds some sort of attitude in relation to the event, and is not merely objectively stating the facts, as with "\u5df2\u7ecf……\u4e86". In the dialogue, it means "You have announced this plan many times in the winter, but you haven’t taken any action at all, so I don’t believe you."<\/p>\n

Eg. \u90fd\u4e5d\u70b9\u4e86\uff0c\u5feb\u8d77\u5e8a\u5427\uff01
It’s nine o’clock already. Get out of bed!
\u996d\u90fd\u51c9\u4e86\uff0c\u4ed6\u600e\u4e48\u8fd8\u4e0d\u56de\u6765\uff1f
The food is cold already. Why hasn’t he come back yet?<\/p>\n

\u4e00\u5e74\u4e4b\u8ba1\u5728\u4e8e\u6625\uff0c\u4e00\u65e5\u4e4b\u8ba1\u5728\u4e8e\u6668 yìnián zh\u012b jì zàiyúch\u016bn, yí rìzh\u012b jì zàiyúchén
A year’s plan starts with spring; a day’s plan starts with early morning.<\/p>\n

It is a popular Chinese proverb. "\u4e00\u5e74\u4e4b\u8ba1\u5728\u4e8e\u6625" emphasizes the im<\/em>portance of spring out of the four seasons and that a good "\u6536\u83b7 (sh\u014duhuò) harvest" depends on the spring sowing. "\u4e00\u65e5\u4e4b\u8ba1\u5728\u4e8e\u6668" refers to the best time of a day being the early morning, and that it is good to make a whole day’s "\u8ba1\u5212 (jìhuà) plan" early in the morning.
