对外汉语教学基础教材一般采用某种媒介语释义。释义应注意准确性和完整性。《长城汉语·生存交际1》中有一些词语释义不太恰当,究其原因,有的是只追求一对一的以词释词,有的对多义词的释义不够明确,有的释义不够完整,另外,对兼类词的释义和列出的词性也有不一致之处。对外汉语教材中生词的英文释义要结合词语出现的语境,体现出词语的意义、用法及其文化内涵。 The basic teaching materials of teaching Chinese as a second language generally adopt some kind of medium language interpretation. Interpretation should pay attention to accuracy and completeness. There are some words in “Great Wall Chinese Survival Communication” 1, which are not suitable for the explanation. The reason is that some people only pursue one-to-one word explanation, some are not clear enough and some are incompletely defined. There are also inconsistencies in the interpretation of the ci-like words and the parts of speech listed. The English interpretation of the new words in the Chinese textbooks for foreign students should reflect the context of the appearance of the words and reflect the meaning, usage and cultural connotation of the words.
