Using 往 before a Verb

Structure

"往"加方位词、处所词,放在动词前,表示动作的方向。"往"后面的成分也可能是一些意义比较抽象的词语,如“好处,坏处”等。

往+ Direction / Place + Verb

Examples

  • 一直 前 走。Yīzhí wǎng qián zǒu.Go straight along.
  • 左 拐。Wǎng zuǒ guǎi.Turn left.
  • 上 看。Wǎng shàng kàn.Look up there.
  • 回 走 五十 米。Wǎng huí zǒu wǔshí mǐ.Walk back fifty meters from here.
  • 不要 楼下 扔 垃圾。Bùyào wǎng lóuxià rēng lājī.Don't throw trash downstairs.
  • 继续 上 爬。Jìxù wǎng shàng pá.Keep climbing up.
  • 不要 我 家 打电话 了!Bùyào wǎng wǒ jiā dǎdiànhuà le!Stop calling my house!
  • 脏衣服 不要 我 床上 放。Zāng yīfu bùyào wǎng wǒ chuáng shàng fàng.Don't put the dirty clothes on my bed.
  • 这 件 事 没有 那么 糟糕,你 要 多 好处 想。Zhè jiàn shì méiyǒu nàme zāogāo, nǐ yào duō wǎng hǎochù xiǎng.This is not that bad. You need to think more about the good sides.

Using 往 after a Verb

在书面语里,"往"可用于个别单音节动词后,后面加处所名词。如:

Examples

  • 北京 的 火车 Kāi wǎng Běijīng de huǒchēThe train that goes to Beijing
  • 纽约 的 飞机 Fēi wǎng Niǔyuē de fēijīThe airplane that flies to New York
  • 国外 的 包裹。Yùn wǎng guówài de bāoguǒThe packages that are shipped overseas

Using 往下 to Mean "Keep Going"

"往下"可以引申为"接着、继续"的意思,表示这个过程前面中断过。与之搭配的动词一般是感官动词:说、读、写、看、听。

Examples

  • 下 说。Wǎng xià shuō.Keep talking.
  • 下 读。 Wǎng xià dú.Keep reading.
  • 下 写。Wǎng xià xiě.Keep writing.
  • 电影 还 没 结束, 下 看 你 就 知道 了。Diànyǐng hái méi jiéshù, wǎng xià kàn nǐ jiù zhīdào le.This movie hasn't ended yet. Finish watching it and then you will know.
  • 下 听,故事 还没 说 完 呢。 Wǎng xià tīng, gùshi hái méi shuō wán ne.Keep listening. I haven't finished telling the story yet.
