外媒盘点:老外学中文必背的100个汉字

The First 100 Characters Every Beginner Needs to Memorize

中文入门必背100字

Just months before arriving in Beijing, I asked my Chinese friend to give me a Chinese name. She said it was easy since “Andy” can be transliterated to just 安迪(ān, safe; dí, guide).

去北京的前几个月,我让我的中国朋友给我起个中国名字。她说因为我的名字Andy可以直接音译为汉字“安迪”,给我起名字简直是小菜一碟。

When I did some background research of places to visit in Beijing, Tian’anmen 天安门(Tiān’ānmén or Gate of Heavenly Peace) was one of the recommended spots. The word Tian’anmen got me really interested in learning more characters because it had the same ān as in my name. Then I started using Pleco to decipher subway station names (especially when it’s overcrowded or when I’m on a long train journey).

我在查询北京的游览攻略时,热门游览地中有个叫“天安门”的。“天安门”这个词引起了我想要认识更多汉字的欲望,因为它和我的名字当中都有一个“安”字。之后我便开始用汉语字典查询地铁站的名字。(尤其是在拥挤时或是长途旅行中)

I remember my Chinese teacher telling me that I would have to memorize not only the phrases but also the pinyin and the characters if I wanted to learn Chinese. It’s hard I must say, but just knowing basic characters will give you enough background to get around, especially when you’re traveling, dining out, or going to malls.

记得我的中文老师告诉我,想要学习汉语,不仅要记词组,还要记拼音和汉字、我必须承认这很难,但是只要了解了基础汉字就足以让你在北京四处逛逛了,尤其是旅行,吃饭,购物。

I found several resources listing the first 100 Chinese characters beginners to the language might memorize. The first 50 are almost the same, but the lists differ when it comes to the 60 to 100 character tier. Regardless, this list from Learning Chinese Everyday certainly helps, especially for knowing about 80 characters that can help beginners to the language compose simple sentences.

我找到了一些资料,上面列着汉语初学者需要记忆的100个汉字。前50个字几乎相同,但从第60个开始就有些不同了。尽管如此,“ Learning Chinese Everyday”上的这个列表确实有用,尤其是当你学会前80个字,你就可以造一些简单的句子了。

If you find pronouncing the characters difficult, we have a starter guide which provides an easy way to speak the four Chinese tones. In the list below, you’ll find the pronunciation guide along with a number, its grammatical function, and lexical meaning. The number indicates the character’s usage in most Chinese conversations.

如果你觉得发音很难,我们有“初学者指南”,它提供了一个简单的方法来发汉语的四声。在下面这个列表中,每一个发音后都标着一个数字,表示这个字的语法及词汇功能。数字代表这个字在汉语会话中的用途。

The website also says that “to understand 90 percent of the content in Chinese publications, students have to learn only about 900 Chinese characters and 11,000 phrases/words.”

该网站还标榜“想要看懂中文出版物90%的内容,你只需学习900个左右的汉字和1.1万个词汇或词组”。
