The misunderstanding of Chinese, did you recruit?

Last night coax the child to sleep, the child is not sleeping, helpless, rushed some powdered milk to the child to drink, perhaps can sleep. When the bedroom lights are off, I can't see the powder! So I asked my wife: "Can I turn on the light?" ”。 The wife replied, "Of course!" ”。 So I opened the bedroom headlights. Instant daughter-in-law anger "turn on the headlights do not open the lamp?" How to sleep with such a bright child. "At that time I was also helpless, and suppress fire." Clearly before the lights turn on the light is also very careful to ask can turn on the light? Results......

believe that we all have a similar experience, this is the first misunderstanding of Chinese: A word contains too many similar things. "Lights" can have many kinds of things that cannot be defined. The "Cup" is also a mix of the same, unable to give it the exact next definition. So when we communicate, we can take some strategies. For example, to explain to others, you can use physical display, animation video, drawing forms, the worst is only verbal or written description (a picture of the preface).

Another misconception in Chinese is that the description is too general . In today's society, the prevalence of all kinds of popular language, this problem intensified. For example Wang Nima in the use of their own home beautiful robotic vacuum cleaner, the remote control is broken. So he said to the factory customer service: "The beauty of the vacuum cleaner is too bad." This kind of description is general, listening to the possibility that all the vacuum cleaners are poor. In fact, he wanted to express is: "My home of the Beautiful (Midea) r1-l083b intelligent sweeping robot remote control is too poor, just a few days will not work properly!" "。 So when we describe it, the principal predicate is as complete as possible.

We cannot deny that thinking is through the language, we think the process is the process of speaking, if the language is general, not clear, then our thinking can not be clear.
