Explication 穿过 in your Level:

At the A1 level, think of 穿过 (chuānguò) as a simple way to say 'to cross' or 'to go through.' You will mostly use it for very basic things like 'crossing the road' (穿过马路) or 'walking through a park' (穿过公园). It helps you give and understand simple directions. For example, if someone tells you to 'go through that door,' they might use 穿过那扇门. At this stage, just remember it as a 'movement' word that involves going from one side of a place to the other. Don't worry about the complex grammar; just focus on the pattern: [Person] + 穿过 + [Place]. It's a very useful word for traveling!

At the A2 level, you should understand that 穿过 (chuānguò) is a combination of two characters: 穿 (to pierce/go through) and 过 (to pass). This 'verb + result' structure is very common in Chinese. You can use it to describe moving through more varied spaces like tunnels, forests, or even a group of people. You should also start to notice the difference between 穿过 (going through the middle) and 经过 (just passing by). For example, if you walk through a mall to get to the other street, you 穿过 the mall. If you just walk past the mall on the sidewalk, you 经过 it. This distinction is important for accurate communication.

At the B1 level, you can begin to use 穿过 (chuānguò) in more descriptive and slightly abstract ways. Beyond just walking or driving, you can describe natural elements like 'light passing through a window' (阳光穿过窗户) or 'a river flowing through a city' (河流穿过城市). You should also be comfortable using it in complex sentences with manner complements, such as 急匆匆地穿过人群 (hurriedly passing through the crowd). At this level, you start to see the word in stories and news reports, describing how a path or a railway line 'passes through' a certain region. It adds a layer of spatial detail to your descriptions.

At the B2 level, 穿过 (chuānguò) becomes a tool for more sophisticated imagery. You will encounter it in literature where it might describe 'passing through a sea of people' (穿过人海) to find someone, which is a common poetic trope. You should also understand its use in technical or scientific contexts, such as 'radiation passing through a shield' or 'a needle threading through fabric.' You can distinguish it clearly from more formal synonyms like 横穿 (transverse) or 穿越 (to pass through time/space, often used in sci-fi). Your use of the word should feel natural in both spoken and written Chinese, reflecting an understanding of its directional precision.

At the C1 level, you can appreciate the nuanced stylistic choices involving 穿过 (chuānguò). You might use it to describe abstract concepts like 'passing through the fog of history' or 'piercing through a complex argument.' You understand how the word functions in various registers—from the colloquial 'cut through the alley' to the poetic 'passing through the seasons.' You are also aware of how it interacts with other grammatical structures, like the 把 construction (把线穿过针眼 - to put the thread through the eye of the needle). At this level, your usage is not just about being understood, but about choosing the most evocative and accurate verb for the spatial relationship you want to describe.

At the C2 level, 穿过 (chuānguò) is a versatile element in your mastery of the language. You can use it to analyze and produce high-level literary works, understanding its role in creating spatial depth and movement in prose. You might explore its etymological roots (the 'cave' radical in 穿) to explain its usage in classical or semi-formal modern Chinese. You can discuss the philosophical implications of 'passing through' versus 'staying,' and use the word in complex geopolitical or scientific discussions (e.g., 'a pipeline passing through multiple national borders'). Your command of the word allows you to use it with perfect precision, even in the most abstract or specialized contexts.

穿过 en 30 secondes

A versatile verb meaning 'to pass through' or 'to cross' in physical and metaphorical contexts.
Used for navigating spaces like forests, tunnels, streets, and crowds.
Combines 'pierce' (穿) and 'pass' (过) to show movement from one side to the other.
Essential for directions and describing how light, sound, or objects move through barriers.

The Chinese verb 穿过 (chuānguò) is a fundamental directional complement structure that primarily translates to "to pass through," "to go across," or "to pierce through." At its core, the word is composed of two characters: 穿 (chuān), which means to bore, to pierce, or to thread, and 过 (guò), which indicates movement from one side to another or the completion of an action. When combined, they describe a physical or metaphorical movement where an object or person enters one side of a space and exits the other side, or simply crosses a boundary.

Spatial Navigation: This is the most common usage. You use 穿过 when you are physically moving through a three-dimensional space like a forest, a tunnel, or a crowd. It implies a sense of immersion within the environment you are traversing. For example, 穿过森林 (passing through the forest) suggests you are surrounded by trees as you move.
Surface Crossing: While 横穿 (héngchuān) is more specific for 'crossing' horizontally, 穿过 is frequently used for crossing streets or squares. If you say 穿过马路, you are emphasizing the act of getting from one side of the road to the other, often through traffic.
Metaphorical Passage: Beyond physical movement, it can describe light passing through glass, sound through walls, or even abstract concepts like 'passing through time' or 'passing through a difficult period' (though 度过 or 经过 might be more common for time, 穿过 adds a poetic, piercing quality).

我们需要穿过这片黑暗的隧道才能看到光明。
— "We need to pass through this dark tunnel to see the light."

In everyday Mandarin, you will hear this word constantly in navigation and giving directions. If you are using a GPS app like Baidu Maps or Gaode, the voice assistant will frequently instruct you to 穿过前面那个公园 (pass through that park ahead). It is a vital word for anyone living in or visiting a Chinese-speaking city, as it defines how you interact with the urban layout. It contrasts with 绕过 (ràoguò), which means to go around. Choosing 穿过 implies a direct, straight-line path through the center of something.

光线穿过了厚厚的窗帘，照在了地板上。
— "The light passed through the thick curtains and shone on the floor."

Understanding the radical in 穿 is also helpful. The top part is 穴 (xué), meaning a cave or hole. This reinforces the idea of making a hole or passing through an opening. When you combine this with 过, you get a vivid image of movement that penetrates a space. This makes the word very versatile, used for everything from threading a needle (though 穿针 is the specific phrase) to a train speeding through a mountain range. It is an essential A2-level vocabulary item because it bridges the gap between simple movement verbs and more descriptive spatial language.

Using 穿过 (chuānguò) correctly in a sentence requires an understanding of its grammatical structure as a verb-complement pair. In Chinese, 穿 is the action (to pierce/go through), and 过 is the resultative complement indicating the action has moved past a certain point or crossed a boundary. The basic syntax follows the pattern: [Subject] + 穿过 + [Place/Object].

Direct Physical Passage: When describing a person or vehicle moving through a location:
Example: 汽车穿过了隧道。 (The car passed through the tunnel.) Here, the car enters one end and exits the other.
Crossing a Barrier: Used when moving from one side of a line or barrier to another:
Example: 小猫穿过了栅栏。 (The kitten passed through the fence.) This suggests the kitten found a gap or went between the bars.
Abstract or Natural Forces: Describing elements like wind, light, or sound:
Example: 风穿过了窗户的缝隙。 (The wind passed through the cracks in the window.)

如果你想快点到，你可以穿过那条小巷。
— "If you want to get there faster, you can cut through that alley."

It is important to distinguish 穿过 from 经过 (jīngguò). While 经过 means "to pass by" or "to go through" in a general sense (often used for time or a process), 穿过 specifically implies going into and out of or across a space. If you '经过' a park, you might just walk along its edge. If you '穿过' a park, you are definitely walking inside it from one side to the other. This distinction is crucial for clarity in directions.

In more advanced structures, 穿过 can be part of a serial verb construction. For instance, 他跑着穿过了操场 (He ran across the playground). Here, 跑着 (running) describes the manner of the action, while 穿过了 describes the result and direction. This flexibility allows for very descriptive storytelling. Whether you are describing a hero passing through a battlefield or a needle passing through cloth, 穿过 provides the necessary spatial logic to the sentence.

In a real-world Chinese-speaking environment, 穿过 (chuānguò) is a high-frequency term that you will encounter in diverse situations, from the mundane to the highly technical. Understanding its context helps in grasping the subtle shades of meaning that a dictionary might miss.

Daily Commute & Navigation: If you ask for directions in Beijing or Shanghai, a local might say: “穿过前面那条街，你就能看到地铁站了。” (Cross the street ahead and you'll see the subway station.) Public transport announcements also use it, especially when describing routes that pass through major districts or tunnels.
Travel and Adventure: In travel blogs or documentaries (like those on CCTV-9), you'll hear about explorers 穿过沙漠 (crossing the desert) or 穿过丛林 (passing through the jungle). It emphasizes the journey through a challenging terrain.
Literature and Song Lyrics: In Mandopop, the word is often used metaphorically. A famous lyric might involve 穿过人海 (passing through the sea of people) to find a loved one. This imagery is very common in romantic poetry, signifying the effort to find someone amidst a crowd.

“我穿过大半个中国去睡你” —— 余秀华
— A famous (and provocative) line by poet Yu Xiuhua: "I passed through half of China to sleep with you."

In professional settings, such as architecture or engineering, 穿过 describes how pipes, wires, or structural elements pass through walls or floors. For example, 电线穿过墙壁 (The wires pass through the wall). This shows the word's transition from everyday movement to technical description. Even in science, you might hear about light 穿过大气层 (passing through the atmosphere). Its versatility is what makes it a core component of the Chinese language across all registers.

Even though 穿过 (chuānguò) is an A2-level word, many learners struggle with its specific nuances and grammatical constraints. Here are the most frequent errors and how to avoid them.

Confusing '穿' (Wear) with '穿过' (Pass through): The character 穿 on its own most commonly means "to wear" (clothes). Beginners sometimes get confused when they see 穿过 and think it means "have worn." While 穿过 (chuān guo) can technically mean "have worn" if 过 is the experience marker, the context usually makes it clear. Context is key: If followed by a place, it’s "pass through." If followed by a noun like "clothes," it’s "have worn."
Overusing '穿过' for '经过': Learners often use 穿过 when they simply mean "passing by." Remember: 穿过 means you go through the middle. If you walk past a building without entering it, you should use 路过 (lùguò) or 经过 (jīngguò). Using 穿过 in this case would imply you walked through the lobby and out the back door.
Incorrect Object Placement: In Chinese, the object must follow 穿过. Learners sometimes try to translate English structures directly, like "The tunnel he went through," which requires a 的 construction: 他穿过的隧道. Without the 的, the sentence structure collapses.

❌ 我穿过这件衣服。
✅ 我穿过这条马路。
— In the first, it means "I have worn these clothes." In the second, it means "I crossed this road." Notice how the object changes the meaning of the verb phrase.

Another mistake is using 穿过 for time. While you can "pass through" a period of history metaphorically in English, in Chinese, 度过 (dùguò) is the standard for time. Saying 穿过这个星期 sounds very strange to a native speaker. Stick to physical spaces or metaphorical "seas of people" for 穿过, and you will sound much more natural.

Mandarin has several verbs that describe moving through or across space. Choosing the right one depends on the specific nature of the movement and the object being traversed. Here is a comparison of 穿过 (chuānguò) and its common alternatives.

穿过 (chuānguò) vs. 经过 (jīngguò): 穿过: To go through the middle or across (e.g., through a park).
经过: To pass by or go through a process (e.g., passing by a shop, or going through a procedure). 经过 is much broader and less spatially specific.
穿过 (chuānguò) vs. 横穿 (héngchuān): 穿过: General passing through.
横穿: Specifically to cross horizontally or directly across (e.g., jaywalking or crossing a highway). 横穿 often carries a slightly more technical or sometimes risky connotation in traffic contexts.
穿过 (chuānguò) vs. 通过 (tōngguò): 穿过: Physical movement through space.
通过: Often used for "passing" a test, "passing" a law, or "by means of." While it can mean passing through a physical checkpoint, it is more formal and abstract than 穿过.

比较：
1. 他穿过了人群。(He pushed through the crowd.)
2. 他路过了人群。(He just walked past the crowd.)

There is also 跨越 (kuàyuè), which means "to leap over" or "to transcend." This is much more formal than 穿过 and is used for things like "transcending centuries" or "crossing a huge bridge." For your daily needs, 穿过 is the most versatile and natural choice for most physical "through" movements. If you want to emphasize the speed, you might use 飞越 (fēiyuè) (to fly over/across), but for walking, driving, or looking through something, 穿过 remains the standard.

Finally, consider 越过 (yuèguò), which means to cross over an obstacle like a wall or a mountain range. While 穿过 implies going through, 越过 implies going over. If you are climbing over a fence, use 越过; if you are squeezing through a hole in the fence, use 穿过. This level of precision will help you describe scenes accurately in Chinese.

How Formal Is It?

Le savais-tu ?

The character 穿 is the same one used for 'wearing' clothes. This is because ancient clothes often required threading limbs through holes or using ties, which is conceptually linked to 'piercing' through an opening.

Comment l'utiliser

frequency

Very high in both spoken and written Mandarin.

Erreurs courantes

我穿过那个商店。(When you just walked past it) → 我经过那个商店。
'穿过' implies you went inside the store and out the other side. '经过' means you just passed by it.
我穿过三个小时。(To mean 'passed 3 hours') → 过了三个小时 / 经过了三个小时。
'穿过' is for space, not for duration of time.
线穿过针。(Missing the '过' complement) → 把线穿过针眼。
While '穿针' is a set phrase, when describing the movement through the hole, '穿过' is more complete.
他穿过着森林。(Using '着' incorrectly) → 他正穿过森林。
'过' in '穿过' is already a resultative complement, so adding '着' (continuous marker) after '过' is grammatically awkward.
我穿过这件衣服马路。(Mixing wear and cross) → 我穿过这件衣服。/ 我穿过这条马路。
You cannot combine the object of 'wear' and the object of 'cross' in one phrase with '穿过'.

Astuces

Verb-Complement Rule

Remember that '过' acts as the result of '穿'. You don't need to add another '过' to show past tense; just add '了' at the end of the sentence or after the verb phrase.

Visualizing '穿'

Visualize the 'cave' radical at the top of '穿'. It represents an opening that you are moving through. This will help you distinguish it from other 'pass' verbs.

Through vs. Past

If you are 'inside' the space as you move, use '穿过'. If you are 'beside' it, use '经过'. This is the most important distinction for directions.

Tone Practice

Practice the transition from the high flat 1st tone of 'chuān' to the sharp falling 4th tone of 'guò'. It should sound like a steady line followed by a sudden drop.

The Needle Mnemonic

Think of '穿' as threading a needle. You 'pierce' the eye of the needle to 'pass' the thread through. This covers both meanings of '穿' (pierce/wear) and '穿过' (pass through).

Stroke Order

When writing '穿', do the 'cave' radical first, then the 'tooth' (牙) part. Keeping the 'tooth' centered under the 'cave' makes the character look balanced.

GPS Cues

When using a Chinese map app, listen for '前方穿过...'. It’s the most common way you'll hear the word in a practical setting.

Poetic Crowd

The phrase '穿过人海' is very common. Use it when you want to sound more expressive about finding someone in a busy place.

No Time Travel

Don't use '穿过' for time periods unless you are writing a sci-fi novel about time travel (穿越). For daily life, use '度过'.

Technical Use

Origine du mot

The character 穿 (chuān) dates back to early script forms where it depicted a tooth (牙) biting through a surface or a hand threading something through a hole. The radical 穴 (xué) means 'cave' or 'hole', emphasizing the act of making or going through an opening.

Sens originel : To bore a hole or to thread something through.

Contexte culturel

No specific sensitivities, but be careful not to confuse '穿过' with '穿' (wear) in contexts involving people's clothing to avoid sounding like you are talking about their laundry.

English speakers often use 'cross' and 'pass through' interchangeably. In Chinese, '穿过' is more specific about going *into* and *out of* a 3D space.
