小心地滑 Caution! Slippery



故事 Story

       一家饭馆门口,竖着一个牌子,上面写着"小心地滑"四个字。大卫路过的时候,看到这四个字,便把它当作滑冰场,在上面滑了起来。他的朋友小林,立刻制止。

In front of a restaurant there stands a sign, on which is written "小心地滑."  As David passes by and sees the sign, he starts to slowly skate his feet across the floor. His friend Xiao Lin immediately stops him.


        小林:你干嘛呢?没看到牌子吗?

Xiao Lin: What are you doing? Haven't you seen the sign?


       大卫:看见了啊,上面写着"小心地(de)滑",我正在慢慢滑着呢。

David: Yes. It says "小心地(de)滑," and I am skating carefully accordingly.


       小林:你以后得随身带本字典了,你看,这里的地板刚擦过,还有些湿。这个牌子是提醒客人地面很滑,要小心。是"小心地(dì)滑",不是"小心地(de)滑"。

Xiao Lin: In the future you should carry a dictionary. The floor has just been mopped and it's still somewhat wet. This sign is here to remind people to pay attention to the slippery floor. "小心地(dì)滑" means "Be careful, slippery floor," not "Skate carefully."


       大卫:原来是这个意思啊。

David: Oh, I see.

语言点 Language Point

1、多音多义字"地"
1. Polyphonic and polysemic word "地(dì)"


       "地"是一个多音多义字。它可以是名词,如"地板"、"地面"、"田地"等,读"dì"。也是一个结构助词,放在形容词(副词)与动词中间,是状语的标志,这时候"地"读轻音"de",比如"高兴地说"、"认真地写"等等。
"地dì" is a polyphonic and polysemic word. When it is used as a noun, such as in "地板(dìbǎn)", "地面(dìmiàn)" and "田地(tiándì) ", it is pronounced as "dì." It can also be used as a structural auxiliary word between an adjective (or an adverb) and a verb. As an adverbial symbol, it is pronounced as the unstressed sound"de", such as "高兴地说(gāoxìng de shuō)"and"认真地写(rènzhēn de xiě)."


2、多义字"滑 (huá)"
2. Polysemic word "滑"


       "滑"也有两个意思。一个是形容词,表示"光滑",如:
"滑(huá)" has two meanings. One is an adjective, meaning "smooth or slippery." For example,


下雪了,地面很滑。
It's snowing, and the ground is quite slippery.


另一个是动词,表示"滑动",如:
The other is a verb, indicating "slide or glide." For example,


明天我们去滑冰吧。
Let's go skating tomorrow.
