温习
温习 30秒了解
- A formal verb meaning to review or revise previously learned material.
- Literally means 'to warm up' and 'practice,' suggesting keeping knowledge fresh.
- Commonly used in academic contexts, especially in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
- Distinguished from 'previewing' (预习) and general 'studying' (学习).
- Educational Context
- In the Chinese education system, 温习 is often associated with the diligent preparation required for examinations. It suggests a methodical approach to one's studies, where a student goes over their notes, textbooks, and past assignments. While the word 复习 (fùxí) is perhaps more common in modern daily speech, 温习 carries a slightly more classical or formal tone, often used in literature or by older generations to emphasize the nurturing aspect of study.
考试前,他每天都会花两个小时温习功课。(Before the exam, he spends two hours every day reviewing his schoolwork.)
- Cultural Nuance
- The concept is deeply rooted in Confucian philosophy. The famous analect '温故而知新' (Wēn gù ér zhī xīn) suggests that by reviewing the old, one can discover the new. This implies that review is not merely a rote repetition but a path to deeper insight and creative understanding. When you 温习, you are not just memorizing; you are seeking a higher level of mastery.
我们应该温习过去学到的知识,以便更好地理解新内容。(We should review the knowledge learned in the past so as to better understand new content.)
奶奶常说,勤于温习是成功的关键。(Grandma often says that being diligent in reviewing is the key to success.)
- Daily Usage
- While you might hear a teacher say '复习一下' (review a bit), '温习' often appears in more formal writing, textbooks, or when discussing the broader habit of studying. It is less about a quick glance and more about a dedicated session of academic revision. It is commonly paired with nouns like 功课 (gōngkè - schoolwork), 课文 (kèwén - text), or 知识 (zhīshì - knowledge).
他在图书馆安静地温习历史。(He is quietly reviewing history in the library.)
为了明天的面试,我需要温习一下我的专业知识。(For tomorrow's interview, I need to review my professional knowledge.)
- Verb Complements
- You can use various complements with 温习 to describe the duration or result of the review. For instance, '温习了一遍' (reviewed once) or '温习得很好' (reviewed very well). The use of '了' (le) indicates the completion of a review session, while '过' (guò) suggests the experience of having reviewed the material before. For example, '我温习过这篇课文' (I have reviewed this text before).
他把昨天学的内容又温习了一遍。(He reviewed the content learned yesterday once more.)
- Negative Forms
- To negate the action, use '没' (méi) for past actions or '不' (bù) for habitual or future actions. '我没温习功课' means 'I didn't review my schoolwork,' whereas '我不喜欢温习' means 'I don't like reviewing.' It is important to remember that 温习 is a proactive verb; it describes a conscious effort to study.
如果你不温习,你很快就会忘记这些单词。(If you don't review, you will soon forget these words.)
他没有时间温习,所以考试考得不好。(He didn't have time to review, so he didn't do well on the exam.)
- Combining with Adverbs
- Adverbs like 认真 (rènzhēn - seriously/carefully), 努力 (nǔlì - diligently), and 经常 (jīngcháng - frequently) are often used to modify 温习. '认真温习' is a very common phrase used by teachers and parents to encourage students. For example, '我们要认真温习老师讲过的内容' (We must carefully review the content the teacher has explained).
即使是周末,她也会抽时间温习功课。(Even on weekends, she will find time to review her schoolwork.)
演员正在后台温习台词。(The actor is reviewing lines backstage.)
- Media and Literature
- In literature, 温习 is often used to evoke a sense of nostalgia or scholarly dedication. An author might describe a character sitting under a lamp, 温习 old letters or poems. In movies or TV dramas set in schools, the word is a staple of the dialogue. It conveys a sense of seriousness and purpose that the more common '复习' might lack in a narrative context.
他在灯下默默地温习着那些泛黄的笔记。(He was silently reviewing those yellowed notes under the lamp.)
- Professional Settings
- While less common in a fast-paced business meeting, 温习 is used when professionals need to go back and study technical manuals, legal documents, or historical data. For example, a lawyer might 温习 past cases before a trial. It implies a thorough and reflective process rather than a quick scan.
医生在手术前再次温习了患者的病历。(The doctor reviewed the patient's medical records again before the surgery.)
为了这次演讲,他已经温习了很多遍演说稿。(For this speech, he has already reviewed the draft many times.)
- Regional Differences
- In Hong Kong and Taiwan, 温习 is used very frequently, perhaps even more so than in some parts of Mainland China, where 复习 has become the dominant term. If you are watching a Cantonese drama (translated into Mandarin) or reading a book from Taiwan, you will see 温习 appearing constantly in the context of student life.
香港的学生通常会在考试季去图书馆温习。(Hong Kong students usually go to the library to review during exam season.)
这个应用会提醒你定时温习新单词。(This app will remind you to review new words regularly.)
- Confusion with 学习 (xuéxí)
- Another common error is using 学习 when 温习 is more appropriate. 学习 is a general term for 'to study' or 'to learn.' It covers the entire process of acquiring knowledge. 温习 is specific to the act of revisiting what is already known. If you tell someone '我在学习功课' (I am studying schoolwork), it is correct but vague. If you say '我在温习功课,' it specifically tells them you are going over old material to prepare for something.
错误:我要温习明天才要讲的新课。(Wrong: I want to review the new lesson that will only be taught tomorrow.)
- Overusing '温习' for Non-Academic Contexts
- Learners sometimes try to use 温习 for physical skills, like 'reviewing' a dance move or a basketball shot. While not entirely wrong, the word 练习 (liànxí - to practice) is much more natural for physical activities. 温习 is primarily mental and academic. You 温习 a theory, a poem, or a mathematical formula; you 练习 a sport, a musical instrument, or a physical skill.
比较:温习语法 (Review grammar) vs. 练习钢琴 (Practice piano).
错误:他在操场上温习踢足球。(Wrong: He is reviewing playing soccer on the playground.)
- The 'Object' Problem
- Sometimes students forget to include an object. In Chinese, it is more natural to say '温习功课' or '温习课文' rather than just '我在温习.' While the latter is understandable in context, providing the object makes the sentence sound more complete and native. Also, avoid using 温习 for 'checking' a list; use 检查 (jiǎnchá) for that.
他正在温习。 (He is reviewing. - Acceptable but less common than '他在温习功课'.)
我要回家温习,不能去玩了。(I have to go home and review, I can't go play.)
- Comparison: 温习 vs. 复习
- 复习 (fùxí): Modern, common, used for exams, daily homework, and general review. 温习 (wēnxí): Slightly formal, literary, common in HK/Taiwan, suggests a deeper, more reflective process. You can use 复习 in 99% of cases, but using 温习 shows a higher vocabulary level.
老师说:'请大家回家复习第三单元。' (The teacher said: 'Everyone please go home and review Unit 3.')
- Other Related Words
- 重温 (chóngwēn): To relive or revisit (e.g., 重温旧梦 - to relive an old dream). 研习 (yánxí): To study and research in depth. This is much more academic than 温习. 补习 (bǔxí): To take extra lessons or cram school (cramming). 练习 (liànxí): To practice a skill or do exercises.
这对老夫妇回到了他们第一次见面的地方,重温当年的浪漫。(The old couple returned to the place where they first met to relive the romance of those years.)
他在业余时间研习书法。(He studies calligraphy in his spare time.)
- Summary Table
- - 温习: To review (academic, formal). - 复习: To review (general, common). - 预习: To preview (before class). - 练习: To practice (skills/exercises). - 重温: To relive/revisit (memories/classics).
学习新知识固然重要,但温习旧知识也同样不可或缺。(Learning new knowledge is certainly important, but reviewing old knowledge is equally indispensable.)
他把那本经典著作又温习了一遍,每次都有新的收获。(He reviewed that classic work again, gaining new insights each time.)

Summary
温习 is a sophisticated way to say 'review.' It emphasizes the importance of revisiting old knowledge to ensure it remains 'warm' and accessible in the mind, encapsulated by the famous Confucian idiom '温故而知新' (reviewing the old to know the new).
- A formal verb meaning to review or revise previously learned material.
- Literally means 'to warm up' and 'practice,' suggesting keeping knowledge fresh.
- Commonly used in academic contexts, especially in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
- Distinguished from 'previewing' (预习) and general 'studying' (学习).
Warm Practice
Associate 'Wen' with 'Warm' and 'Xi' with 'Practice.' You are keeping your knowledge from getting cold.
Verb-Object
Always try to follow '温习' with an object like '功课' or '课文' to sound more natural.
Confucian Roots
Remember the idiom '温故知新' to understand the deep value Chinese culture places on review.
Regional Use
If you are in Hong Kong or Taiwan, you will hear '温习' much more often than '复习'.
