欢迎来到 Year 7 WJEC 中文复习指南。本文总结了你第一年学习普通话需要掌握的基本词汇、语法和文化要点。用它来检查你的理解并建立考试自信。

1. Pinyin and Tones | 拼音和声调

Pinyin is the official romanisation system for Mandarin Chinese. It uses the Latin alphabet to represent sounds, but you must learn the correct pronunciation for each letter combination.

拼音是普通话的官方罗马化系统。它使用拉丁字母表示发音，但你必须学会每个字母组合的正确读音。

There are four main tones in Mandarin. Changing the tone can completely change the meaning of a word. The neutral tone is light and short.

普通话有四个主要声调。改变声调会完全改变词义。轻声又轻又短。

The first tone is high and level, like singing a steady note: mā (mother).

第一声是高而平的，像唱一个平稳的音：mā (妈)。

The second tone rises from middle to high, as if you are asking a question: má (hemp).

第二声从中音升到高音，就像在提问：má (麻)。

The third tone dips down first then rises: mǎ (horse).

第三声先降后升：mǎ (马)。

The fourth tone falls sharply from high to low: mà (scold).

第四声从高到低急促下降：mà (骂)。

A neutral tone is unstressed and brief, like the second syllable in ‘bàba’ (dad).

轻声不重读而且短促，比如“bàba”（爸爸）的第二个音节。

Always mark tone marks over the main vowel, and follow the rule: ‘a’ first, then ‘o’ ‘e’, ‘i’ ‘u’ ‘ü’ in order. When ‘i’ and ‘u’ together, tone mark goes on the second one.

声调符号总是标在主要元音上面，遵循“a o e i u ü”顺序。当 i 和 u 在一起时，声调标在第二个字母上。

2. Greetings and Basic Expressions | 问候和基本表达

Learning to greet people is the very first step. ‘Nǐ hǎo’ means ‘Hello’. You can reply with the same phrase.

学会问候是最初的一步。“你好”就是 Hello。你可以用同样的话回答。

‘Nǐ hǎo ma?’ is a common way to ask ‘How are you?’. A typical answer is ‘Wǒ hěn hǎo, xièxie.’

“你好吗？”是常用的“你好吗？”问法。典型的回答是“我很好，谢谢。”

‘Zǎoshang hǎo’ means ‘Good morning’, ‘Xiàwǔ hǎo’ means ‘Good afternoon’, and ‘Wǎnshang hǎo’ means ‘Good evening’.

“早上好”是早上好，“下午好”是下午好，“晚上好”是晚上好。

‘Xièxie’ means ‘Thank you’, and ‘Bú kèqi’ means ‘You’re welcome’. ‘Duìbuqǐ’ is used to say ‘Sorry’, and ‘Méi guānxi’ means ‘It’s okay’.

“谢谢”表示谢谢，“不客气”表示不客气。“对不起”用来说对不起，“没关系”表示没关系。

‘Zàijiàn’ means ‘Goodbye’. You can also say ‘Bái bái’ (bye-bye) informally among friends.

“再见”是再见。你还可以在朋友间非正式地说“拜拜”。

3. Numbers and Counting | 数字和计数

Numbers are essential for giving your age, phone number, and for dealing with money. Memorise 0 to 10 first:
