这里是‘坦诚交换意见’ 的生词

同学,你好!

这里是”坦诚交换意见“的生词

We all have ways of learning our vocab  Here is another suggestion:

For this you will need:
Windows with Chinese simplified enabled (I have not used other platforms)
Microsoft Word,
Microsoft Excell
or OpenOffice (an open source office package which is absolutely free)

ZDT (an open source Chinese annotator-dictionary- flashcard application) freeware

Teach2000 (an open source vocabulary trainer) freeware

Once you have the above installed on your computer, you are ready to learn.

A)  Copy and paste the back PDF transript, the one without pinyin, into a Word file.

B)  You will notice that everything is there except the punctuation marks.  Compare with the PDF to see which punctuation marks have been changed to - or _ or ",etc.   Use the REPLACE function under EDIT to quickly repair this. (If you are not a perfectionist, don't even bother, since the chinese hanzi are understandable without the punctuation)

C)  Now you can cut and paste the whole text or chunks of the text into ZDT's annotator.  If you do not have this free tool, download it from here: http://zdt.sourceforge.net/
Here you can read the text with popup definitions.

D)Open a new category in ZDT.

E)  Drag the words that are new from the annotator to the wordlist.  ZDT automatically gives you the pinyin and the meaning from a built in CEDICT dictionary.  Sometimes the word is not there and you can find it in another dictionary, then you can right click to ADD NEW WORD and manually add it to your wordlist.  You can also edit the given word.  Often ZDT gives you too many definitions that don't apply to the context.  You can simply delete them or add a more suitable definition from your own dictionary. You are already starting to learn the new words as you work.
Since ZDT has a built in flash card game, you can stop here and only use the ZDT flashcards.  Should you wish to discover another programme with many more test modes, then continue.

PREPARING A WORDLIST FOR USE IN TEACH2000
F) Once your wordlist is complete, you can copy and paste the whole table into an Excell file.  Make a new column between the hanzi and the pinyin and another new column between the pinyin and the definitions.

G)  Add a semicolon (;) into the first column you added and copy it all the way down.

H)  Add a colon (:) into the second new column you created and copy it all the way down. It will look something like this:


一直 ; yì zhí : continuously; always; from the beginning of ... up to ...; all along
觉得 ; jué de : to think; to feel
坦诚 ; tǎnchéng : frankly and honestly
交换 ; jiāo huàn : to exchange; to swap; (telecom) to switch; (math.) to commute; (math.) commutative
意见 ; yì jiàn : view; opinion; suggestion; proposal
不至于 ; bù zhì yú : cannot go so far; be unlikely
引起 ; yǐn qǐ : to give rise to; to lead to; to cause; to arouse
矛盾 ; máo dùn : contradictory; contradiction
经验 ; jīng yàn : to experience; experience
确认 ; què rèn : confirm; verify
看法 ; kàn fǎ : way of looking at a thing; view; opinion
讨论 ; tǎo lùn : to discuss; to talk over
研讨会 ; yán tǎo huì : discussion forum; seminar

材料 ; cái liào : material; data; makings; stuff
理解 ; lǐ jiě : to comprehend; understanding; comprehension; to understand
总体 ; zǒng tǐ : completely; totally; total; entire; overall









I)  Now you can copy and paste this into the input window of Teach2000 .









J)  Choose the colon (:) as your separator and click on down.  Now the words are
in Teach2000 and you can save your wordlist to practice in the many different test
modes that this programme has.











For this lesson's 生词 I have already prepared a wordlist.  However, since we are
all at different levels and have a different knowledge base, it is preferable that
each person makes up his or her own wordlists.











Simply cut and paste the following wordlist into Teach2000 to practice.  Once
you get to know the programme, you can delete and add words from the lists
I will be posting on my blog.

You will notice that this list has different separator signs.  It is
just because I generated it with Teach2000. 








Teach2000 is the best Vocab Trainer I have come accross,
both for its multi mode learning possibilities and because it is
so user friendly!










I hope you will find it as useful as I have.


再一次, 再见!
