    Self-introduction Please help me with the words and grammar I'm Han, a 24-year-old sports fan from China, now learning English and maybe someday French. It might be a little hard for me to talk in English, but reading is just fine. I really want to find out a way to improve my spoken English. I think I'm generally easygoing and communicative. It would be great to have an English speaking friend who want to learn Chinese. More about me: I majored in Chinese language and literature, having an 1st level certificate in Mandarin Proficiency Test and teacher certification as well. Now I work as a secretary in a company. I'm interested in linguistics and Chinese ancient literature. I'd like to write metrical poems when I have inspirations. I'm reading The Three-body Problem(a sf novel by Liu Cixin) recently. I'm a big basketball fan and Spurs is my favorite team in NBA. Furthermore, I play volleyball and table tennis. I like PC games and I have a Steam account. It's fun to play with friends.

    Hi, Hoang. 楼上的答案很好,我进行一下补充好了。 首先,以上6个词一般用作连词,用在递进复句中。 “不但……而且/也……”是最为常用的递进复句连接词之一。例如“她不但漂亮,而且(也)极为聪明。”而且是书面语和口头语都可以使用的。“不但”一般表示“只是一个方面”,然后“而且/也”引出一个更重要的方面。 ”不光“略微偏口头语一些,比如“不光我觉得他好,大伙都觉得他好。” 根据《现代汉语词典》“光”有“仅仅,只”的义项,所以,能够说“不光”的,“不仅仅”和“不只”都可以说。一方面,它们可以搭配“而且/也”使用,例如“不光我欣赏他,小李也欣赏他。”在这里,“不光,不仅,不只”表示“不是个例”,通过也可以提出“其他例子”。此外,它们有时候也会和“都”配合使用,比如本段第一个例句。在这里“不光,不仅,不只”表示“不是个例”,进而通过“都”递进出一种“普遍情况”。比较有趣的一点是,“不仅我欣赏他,【而且】同学们【也】很欣赏他”一般会认为这里的“同学们”不包括“我”;而“不仅我欣赏他,同学们【都】很欣赏他”则可能是“我”也包含在“同学们”之中。 “不光,不仅,不只”,这几个词也可以表示“不但”那种从一个方面到另一个方面的递进,可以和“不但”相互替换,例如“他不光(不仅)贪吃,也很贪玩。”但是“不但”却很少表示这种“个例到个例”或者“个例到普遍情况”的递进。(不是没有,只是比较少) 你的中文水准很高,我想应该知道连接词的正确使用位置,比如复句的两个小句是同一个主语,则“主语+连接词+句子,连接词+句子”,例如“小李不仅跑得快,而且跑得远”,不同主语则“连接词+主语+句子”,例如“不仅小李跑得快,小王跑得也很快”。“不但”一般不用在主语前,因为它一般表示同一个主语的不同方面;“不光/不单/不只”既可以用主语在之前,表示“不是个例”,也可以用在主语之后,表示“一个方面”。 还有一个现象,就是“不光/不仅/不单/不独”用在主语前常常可以有一种省略的用法,如“不光是他,我们也觉得这套方案不错。”(口语)“不独美国苏联,中国也在这一技术领域展开研究。”(书面语)。两句中省略了“他”“美国苏联”的具体行为,因为“个例”和“普遍”之间,具体行为是一致的,我们看下半句就能推测出来,“他”赞成方案,“美苏”在研究。 剩下的差别可能主要就是在语言风格方面: “不独”正如楼上所说,一般古文出现较多,现在则主要是运用于正式的文体,用的很少。“不单”我的了解不多,个人以为也是书面用语更多。(我生活在华北地区,不同地区有时候使用频度会差异较大)。“不光”是个蛮通俗的表达。 最后的最后。因为这个问题我蛮感兴趣,所以说了比较多,不知道讲明白没有。我认为你这个问题问得很棒。对了,上面这些讲的都是一般情况,反例肯定会有,因为语言现象是不稳定的,极其复杂的,但是大体上这样了解和使用应当不成问题。祝你学习愉快!

    When you feel confused about which character system your book choose, REMEMBER THIS, one in traditional characters, all in traditional characters! As you know, some(not all) words have both traditional and simplified characters. If you find some(even one) of those words written in traditional characters, the whole book is in traditional characters and vice versa. So it's helpful to know some high-frequency words that have both characters, such as “中國”(China, simplified as "中国") ,"漢語"(Chinese, simplified as “汉语”).These words could be usually seen on the cover. Or you can search the publishing company. If it's registered in mainland, this company generally use simplified characters. I think it's not good to learn both of them in the beginning. Simplified characters is easier to learn and write. When you can master it, you can recognize most traditional characters as well, because they look similar or have certain transform method. You can search《汉字简化方案》for more details about simplification. To be honest, most Chinese never learn traditional characters but could still recognize them, unless reading ancient books or trying to learn the motivation of Chinese characters. I majored in Chinese language and literature but poor at English, maybe we could help each other for a long term... ----edit---- I'm sorry I don't know any grammar book which has the examples in both traditional and simplified...I'd like to recommend a book named 《细说汉字:1000个汉字的起源与演变》by 左安民. It has oracle-bronze-traditional-simplified characters and I think it's fun to read. but the explanation is in simplified characters and not easy... BTW, I'm not persuading you to give up traditional characters. Actually they are really fantastic, especially comparing with oracle or bronze characters! but I think simplified characters would be a wonderful access. Please don't misunderstand it. If you are interested in ancient characters, maybe we could discuss about it. wish you have a good time learning Chinese.

    We usually call dreadlocks "雷鬼头",but it sounds punky and we don't use it for self-introduction. “锁子头” (locks) might be more neutral, but it's not as well-known as "雷鬼头". "辫子头" is just okay if you are not trying to make a distinction, but "辫子" is usually considered as single (or double) braid or ponytail.
