A1 verb #1,500 가장 일반적인 11분 분량

计算

jisuan 상위 1,500

At the A1 level, '计算' (jìsuàn) is introduced as a basic verb for doing math. You use it when you want to find the answer to simple problems like 1+1 or the price of two apples. It is a formal way of saying 'to do math'. For example, '我计算一下' (Let me calculate/do the math). At this stage, you should focus on using it with simple objects like '价格' (price) or '数字' (numbers). It helps you describe actions in a classroom or while shopping. Remember that '计算' is two characters, and it sounds more 'serious' than just saying '算'. You might see it in your first textbooks when learning how to ask for the total cost of something. It is a foundational word for logical thinking in Chinese.

At the A2 level, you start using '计算' in more practical, everyday scenarios. You might use it to talk about your daily expenses or the time it takes to travel somewhere. For example, '计算时间' (calculate time) or '计算距离' (calculate distance). You will also encounter the word '计算机' (jìsuànjī), which means 'computer'. At this level, you should be able to form simple sentences like '他在计算这件衣服多少钱' (He is calculating how much this piece of clothing costs). You are moving beyond simple arithmetic to applying the word to real-world objects and costs. It is important to start distinguishing '计算' from '打算' (to plan), as A2 learners often mix them up. '计算' is for numbers; '打算' is for intentions.

At the B1 level, '计算' becomes a tool for discussing work, budgets, and more complex tasks. You might use it in a business context, such as '计算利润' (calculate profit) or '计算成本' (calculate cost). You will also start seeing resultative complements like '计算出' (to calculate and find the result). For example, '我们计算出了最后的结果' (We calculated the final result). At this stage, you should understand that '计算' implies a systematic process. You might hear it in news reports about the economy or in office meetings. You should also be aware of the noun form, such as '复杂的计算' (complex calculation). Your vocabulary is expanding to include related terms like '计算器' (calculator) and '计算方法' (calculation method).

At the B2 level, '计算' is used in technical, scientific, and academic contexts. You will encounter it in discussions about '云计算' (cloud computing), '计算能力' (computing power), and '计算模型' (computational model). You should be able to use it to describe abstract processes, such as '计算风险' (calculating risk) or '计算概率' (calculating probability). At this level, you are expected to understand the nuance between '计算' and its synonyms like '核算' (accounting) or '估算' (estimating). You might read articles about how '计算技术' (computing technology) is changing the world. Your sentences should become more complex, incorporating adverbs like '精确地' (accurately) or '自动' (automatically) to describe how the calculation is performed.

At the C1 level, '计算' is used with high-level precision in professional and philosophical discussions. You will see it in academic papers, economic forecasts, and high-tech industry reports. You might discuss '量子计算' (quantum computing) or '算法计算' (algorithmic computation). At this stage, you should also be familiar with the more literary or rare uses of the word, as well as its role in complex idioms. You can use '计算' to describe strategic thinking in a competitive environment, though '博弈' (game theory/struggle) might also be used. You are expected to handle the word in any context, from a deep dive into '计算社会科学' (computational social science) to analyzing the '计算误差' (calculation error) in a high-stakes engineering project. Your mastery allows you to use the word to convey both technical accuracy and logical rigor.

At the C2 level, '计算' is a versatile concept that you can apply to the most abstract and nuanced topics. You might explore the '可计算性' (computability) of human consciousness or the '计算美学' (computational aesthetics) in modern art. You understand the word's historical evolution from bamboo rods to digital bits and can discuss its impact on Chinese culture and thought. You can use '计算' in highly sophisticated ways, such as discussing the '政治计算' (political calculation) behind a major international treaty or the '计算宇宙' (computational universe) theory. At this level, '计算' is not just a verb; it is a lens through which you can analyze complex systems, whether they are mathematical, social, or philosophical. Your usage is indistinguishable from a highly educated native speaker, characterized by perfect placement and context-appropriate nuance.

计算 30초 만에

计算 (jìsuàn) is a formal verb meaning 'to calculate' or 'to compute'.
It is used for math problems, costs, and computer data processing.
Commonly paired with '出' (result) or '机' (computer).
Essential for STEM, business, and daily financial tasks in Chinese.

At its core, 计算 (jìsuàn) is the fundamental act of mathematical determination. In the modern Chinese lexicon, it bridges the gap between ancient counting methods and cutting-edge digital processing. The first character, 计 (jì), originally depicted the act of speaking or counting out loud, often associated with planning or strategy. The second character, 算 (suàn), features the bamboo radical at the top, representing the ancient counting rods used by mathematicians and merchants long before the invention of the abacus. Together, they form a word that encompasses everything from a child adding two plus two to a supercomputer processing billions of data points per second.

Primary Definition: To perform mathematical operations to reach a result; to compute or reckon.
Technical Nuance: In technical contexts, it refers specifically to 'computation' in computer science (计算机 - computer).
Abstract Usage: It can occasionally imply 'scheming' or 'calculating' in a social sense, though this is more common in literary or idiomatic forms.

我们需要准确地计算出成本。(We need to accurately calculate the costs.)

Understanding '计算' requires recognizing its precision. Unlike '估算' (estimate), '计算' implies a formal process aimed at an exact answer. In a classroom, a teacher might ask students to '计算' the area of a circle. In a laboratory, a scientist '计算' the trajectory of a satellite. This word is the bedrock of the STEM fields in the Chinese language. It suggests a logical, step-by-step methodology where inputs are transformed into outputs through established rules.

这台超级电脑的计算能力非常惊人。(The computing power of this supercomputer is amazing.)

Historically, '计算' was tied to the physical tools of the trade. The bamboo radical in '算' reminds us that for centuries, Chinese mathematics relied on 'suanchou' (counting rods). When you use this word today, you are participating in a linguistic tradition that spans from the 'Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art' to the era of Artificial Intelligence. It is a word of certainty, logic, and progress.

请用公式计算圆的周长。(Please use the formula to calculate the circumference of the circle.)

Scientific Context: Used in physics, chemistry, and engineering to denote quantitative analysis.

由于计算错误，实验失败了。(The experiment failed due to a calculation error.)

In summary, '计算' is more than just 'math'. It is the systematic application of logic to quantify the world. Whether you are balancing a checkbook or programming a neural network, you are engaging in '计算'. It is a versatile, essential verb that every learner of Chinese must master to navigate both daily life and professional environments.

Using 计算 (jìsuàn) correctly involves understanding its role as a transitive verb. It typically takes a direct object that represents a quantity, a cost, a result, or a mathematical problem. In Chinese grammar, '计算' is often followed by resultative complements like '出' (chū) to indicate that the calculation has been successfully completed and a result has been obtained.

Basic Structure: Subject + 计算 + Object (e.g., 我计算价格 - I calculate the price).
Resultative Usage: Subject + 计算 + 出 + Result (e.g., 他计算出了答案 - He calculated the answer).

我们正在计算下个月的预算。(We are currently calculating next month's budget.)

One of the most common ways to see '计算' is in compound words. For example, '计算机' (jìsuànjī) is the standard word for 'computer' in Mainland China. This highlights the word's deep connection to the digital age. When using '计算' in a sentence, you should ensure that the context is one of formal or objective measurement. If you are just 'thinking' or 'planning' a trip, you should use '打算' (dǎsuàn) instead. Confusing these two is a common pitfall for beginners.

请重新计算一遍，确保没有错误。(Please recalculate once more to ensure there are no errors.)

In professional settings, '计算' is often paired with adverbs like '精确地' (jīngquè de - accurately) or '自动' (zìdòng - automatically). For instance, '系统会自动计算税费' (The system will automatically calculate the taxes). This demonstrates how the word is used to describe processes that are reliable and rule-based. In academic writing, you might see '计算方法' (calculation method) or '计算模型' (computational model).

这种计算方法非常先进。(This calculation method is very advanced.)

Collocation: 计算成本: To calculate costs (essential in business).
Collocation: 计算速度: Calculation speed (essential in tech).

他正在用计算器计算总分。(He is using a calculator to calculate the total score.)

Finally, remember that '计算' is a formal word. In very casual conversation, people often just say '算' (suàn). For example, '算一下多少钱' (Calculate how much money it is). However, in any written or professional context, '计算' is the preferred choice. It conveys a sense of professionalism and accuracy that the single-syllable '算' lacks.

You will encounter 计算 (jìsuàn) in a wide variety of environments, ranging from the mundane to the highly specialized. Its ubiquity makes it one of the most practical verbs to learn. Whether you are in a classroom, an office, or browsing a tech website, '计算' is likely to appear. It is the language of logic and data.

In the Classroom: Teachers use it constantly when teaching math, physics, or chemistry. '请计算这个三角形的面积' (Please calculate the area of this triangle).
In the Tech World: It is the core of terms like '云计算' (cloud computing), '量子计算' (quantum computing), and '计算能力' (computing power).

现在的手机都有很强的计算性能。(Modern mobile phones have very strong computing performance.)

In financial and business settings, '计算' is indispensable. Accountants '计算' taxes, profits, and losses. Business analysts '计算' market trends and ROI (return on investment). When you hear '核算' (hésuàn), it is a more specialized form of '计算' used specifically for accounting and auditing. In daily life, you might hear it at a bank or when discussing a loan: '银行会计算你的利息' (The bank will calculate your interest).

我们需要计算一下这次旅行的总花费。(We need to calculate the total cost of this trip.)

The word also appears frequently in news reports, especially those concerning the economy or science. For example, '科学家计算出冰川融化的速度' (Scientists have calculated the speed of glacier melting). It lends an air of scientific authority to the statement. In the world of sports, analysts '计算' player statistics and win probabilities. It is a word that turns raw data into meaningful information.

这家公司正在开发新的计算芯片。(This company is developing new computing chips.)

Everyday Shopping: While '算' is more common, '计算' is used on receipts or in formal customer service: '系统正在为您计算折扣' (The system is calculating the discount for you).

这个软件可以自动计算你的步数。(This software can automatically calculate your steps.)

In conclusion, '计算' is everywhere. It is the verbal equivalent of a calculator, a computer, and a logical mind all rolled into one. By paying attention to where you hear it, you can better understand the quantitative nature of modern Chinese society and the high value placed on precision and data.

Even though 计算 (jìsuàn) seems straightforward, learners often make specific errors when using it. The most frequent mistake is confusing it with other words that share the '算' character but have very different meanings. Mastery of '计算' requires distinguishing it from '打算' (dǎsuàn), '估算' (gūsuàn), and '核算' (hésuàn).

Confusion with 打算 (dǎsuàn): '打算' means 'to plan' or 'to intend'. Learners often say '我计算去中国' (I calculate to go to China), which is incorrect. It should be '我打算去中国'. '计算' is for math; '打算' is for plans.
Confusion with 估算 (gūsuàn): '估算' means 'to estimate'. If you are just guessing a number, use '估算'. Using '计算' implies you are doing the actual math to find the exact number.

错误：我计算明天会下雨。(Wrong: I calculate it will rain tomorrow.) -> 应为：我估计明天会下雨。

Another common error is using '计算' when '数' (shǔ - to count) is more appropriate. '数' is the physical act of counting items one by one (1, 2, 3...). '计算' is the mental or mechanical act of performing operations (addition, subtraction, etc.). For example, you '数' the apples in a basket, but you '计算' the total price of the apples. Mixing these up can make your Chinese sound unnatural.

错误：他在计算他的钱。(Wrong: He is calculating his money - if he's just counting bills.) -> 应为：他在数他的钱。

Grammatically, learners sometimes forget that '计算' is a formal verb and might use it in contexts that are too casual. While not strictly 'wrong', saying '我计算一下一加一' (I calculate one plus one) sounds overly dramatic. In such cases, a simple '算' is better. Furthermore, '计算' cannot be used as an adjective to mean 'calculating' (as in a person's personality). You cannot say '他是一个计算的人'.

正确用法：这道题需要复杂的计算。(Correct: This problem requires complex calculation.)

Word Order Error: Avoid putting the result before the verb. It's '计算结果' (calculate the result), not '结果计算'.

注意：计算 (Calculate) vs 算计 (Scheme against).

By keeping these distinctions in mind—especially the difference between math (计算), planning (打算), and counting (数)—you will avoid the most common traps and speak more like a native. Precision in word choice reflects the precision of the word '计算' itself.

To truly master 计算 (jìsuàn), it is helpful to compare it with its synonyms and related terms. Each of these words has a specific nuance that makes it suitable for different contexts. Understanding these differences will elevate your Chinese from basic to advanced.

计算 (jìsuàn) vs. 算 (suàn): '计算' is formal and precise. '算' is casual and can mean 'to count', 'to calculate', or even 'to consider'. Example: '算我一个' (Count me in) vs. '计算成本' (Calculate costs).
计算 (jìsuàn) vs. 核算 (hésuàn): '核算' is specifically used in accounting and auditing. It implies checking and verifying figures. You '计算' a sum, but you '核算' a company's annual expenses.
计算 (jìsuàn) vs. 估算 (gūsuàn): '估算' is an estimate or a rough calculation. Use '估算' when you don't have all the data or don't need a perfect answer. Use '计算' for exactness.

对比：计算面积 (Calculate area) vs. 估算人数 (Estimate the number of people).

Other related words include '测算' (cèsuàn) and '盘算' (pánsuàn). '测算' is often used in engineering or scientific measurements, implying the use of instruments or complex data (e.g., 测算距离 - calculate/measure distance). '盘算', on the other hand, is more mental and often personal. It means to 'mull over' or 'figure out' a plan in one's head, often involving money or personal gain.

他心里正在盘算着如何省钱。(He is mentally figuring out how to save money.)

In the context of technology, you might encounter '运算' (yùnsuàn). While '计算' is the general term for computation, '运算' refers specifically to the mathematical operations (like addition or logical gates) performed by a processor. For example, '四则运算' refers to the four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. If you are talking about the speed of a CPU, you might use '运算速度'.

会计正在核算公司的账目。(The accountant is auditing the company's accounts.)

Summary of Nuances: 计算 (Standard/Exact), 估算 (Estimate), 核算 (Accounting), 测算 (Scientific/Measurement), 盘算 (Mental/Planning).

请到收银台结算。(Please go to the cashier to settle the bill.)

By choosing the right word from this group, you demonstrate a high level of linguistic precision. While '计算' is a great 'catch-all' for math, knowing when to use '核算' or '估算' shows that you understand the specific professional or logical context of the situation.
