语言点 Language Point

1.    考100分 get full marks
       汉语中"考 数字 分"表示考试中得到的分数。如你的HSK考试分数是120分,就可以说"我考了120分。",如果HSK考试一共150分,你的分数也是150分,就可以说"我考了满分"。


In Chinese, "考(kǎo) 数字 number 分 score" means the scores you get in an exam. For example, if you get 120 points in the HSK exam, you can say "我考了120分." If you get all the 150 points in the HSK exam, you can say "我考了满分(I get full marks)".

例句Examples:

       孩子考了60分,正好及格。
The kid got 60 points which was just the passing grade.
       这次HSK考试你考了多少分?
 How many scores did you get in this HSK exam?



2.    形容词 "死了" adj. "死了(sǐle)"
        形容词 "死了"表示非常、特别、极了,如"紧张死了"的意思是"特别紧张","累死了"的意思是"累极了、非常累"。故事中爸爸说"高兴死了"意思是如果儿子能考100分就会特别高兴。



The expression of adjective plus "死了(sǐle)" means "very much, extremely, particularly". For example, "紧张死了" is "feeling especially nervous". "累死了" is "feeling extremely tired". In the story, when the father said "高兴死了", he intended to mean he would be so happy if his son could get full scores in the exam.

例句Examples:

       最近考试特别多,烦死了!

I was bored to death by so many exams recently.

       昨天我的面试很成功,男朋友还跟我求婚了,简直幸福死了!        

I got the job in the interviewyesterday and my boyfriend just proposed to me. I must be the happiest person in the world.


3.    及格/不及格 pass/fail an exam
        汉语中通过考试是"及格",没有通过考试是"不及格"。在中国的小学或中学,如果满分是100分,60分及格;如果满分是120分,90分及格。



In Chinese, passing an exam is expressed by "及格" and failing an exam is "不及格". In Chinese elementary and middle schools, if full scores are 100, then 60 would be the passing grade; if full scores are 120, then 90 would be the passing grade.

例句Example:

      这次考试不难,大家都及格了。

It was not a difficult exam so everybody passed.

      想要考上这个大学,只及格是不够的。
You can not be enrolled in this university with a passing grade only.
