# This is a sample vocabulary file to demonstrate CEDICT format # (see http://www.mandarintools.com/cedict.html). # To quote the CEDICT web page and file: #================================================================ # The basic format of a CEDICT entry is: # Chinese [pinyin] /English definition 1/definition 2/ # # First is the Chinese word (with no spaces) followed by a single space. # # The pinyin should follow in the format below: # # * It should be in square brackets with no other punctuation. # * It should have a space between each pinyin syllable. # * Each pinyin syllable should have a tone number. Use 5 for the light tone (qing sheng). # * For pinyin that uses the umlauted-u, represent it with a u followed by a colon (u:). # * The pinyin is also in lower-case, even for proper nouns. -DH # # The English definition(s) should be have a slash at beginning and end and between separate definitions for the same Chinese head word. # # Avoid using square brackets for anything but pinyin. Use parenthesis # instead: e.g. /Beijing (capital of mainland China)/ and not /Beijing # [....]/ # # Here is an example: # 中文 [zhong1 wen2] /Chinese language/ # #================================================================ # # Also note that the hash-symbol ('#') marks comment lines, # which the cedicttools ignore. # # # This sample file contains vocabulary from my two children's stories, # “小猴子历险记”(“The Little Monkey's Adventure”) and # “鹿为什么踏地?”(“Why Did the Deer Stomp His Foot?”) # Both stories are currently available under my web pages at # http://www.math.umaine.edu/faculty/hiebeler # (Follow either the link to Chinese Resources, or Publications). # # These are in the order they appear in the stories, rather than being # sorted alphabetically as CEDICT-format files often are. ##### From “The Little Monkey's Adventure" 猴子 [hou2 zi5] /monkey/ 历险记 [li4 xian3 ji4] /adventure/ 发表 [fa1 biao3] /to publish/ 森林 [sen1 lin2] /forest/
