danqi Posted June 28, 2006 at 07:15 PM Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 at 07:15 PM What exactly does 叫听, as in "这个工程现在被有关部门叫停了", mean? Something like "announce"? It doesn't seem to appear in any dictionary. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiangs Posted June 28, 2006 at 07:35 PM Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 at 07:35 PM I think the word you write "叫听", actually is "叫停" this word means something is been called to stop.for example ,you have do some business ,but it is illegal.so the government is order you to stop the whole thing i'm sorry ,my english is poor,i came to this forum is to make some foreign friends who wants to learn chinese.

magietao Posted June 29, 2006 at 01:50 AM Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 at 01:50 AM I agree jiangs. 叫停 means that some organizes ask the other organizes or people to stop some activities which they oppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted June 29, 2006 at 02:53 AM Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 at 02:53 AM Dan: 叫停 is an informal usage of being noticed to stop for, for example, a project or plan etc. due to something unexpectedly happened or something wrong with it and so on, generally speaking,when a project or a plan is 叫停 it may have but little chance to re-start. It can be understood as "called off" or "on hold" Hope you get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danqi Posted June 29, 2006 at 09:59 AM Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 at 09:59 AM Thanks a lot! Of, course, you're right: I meant 叫停. For some reason I just always read it as 叫听... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
