webmagnets Posted October 27, 2009 at 01:53 PM Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 at 01:53 PM What does 中 mean in this sentence?: 这些都是人生中最重要的问题, 许多人却放弃寻找答案了. i know it means "middle", but i don't understand it's roll in the sentence. Is there another meaning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted October 27, 2009 at 01:57 PM Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 at 01:57 PM By extension, zhōng can also mean 'in', as it does here. Roughly: 'These are the most important questions in human lives, but many people give up trying to find answers.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted October 27, 2009 at 01:57 PM Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 at 01:57 PM it means "in". You can break it up like this - 这些 / 都 / 是 / 人生中 / 最重要的 / 问题 these / all / are / in life / the most important / issues All of these are the most important issues in life.
