davoosh Posted January 3, 2012 at 12:13 PM Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 at 12:13 PM I was listening to the news and heard something which sounded like 項, although I'm not sure if it's correct. Here's the sentence I heard: 污染物從三項增加到了七項 What exactly would xiang4 mean in this sentence? (If it's not xiang4, what could it be?) Thanks!

roddy Posted January 3, 2012 at 12:18 PM Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 at 12:18 PM It's a measure word for item, clause, etc. Roughly, the list of pollutants monitored has gone from 3 to 7 items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davoosh Posted January 3, 2012 at 12:20 PM Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 at 12:20 PM Thanks! I was pretty sure it was xiang4, it's little words like this which seem to trip me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
