啊，这么多成语！太乱七八糟了！怎么办？ ˇ zheme ` ´ ` luanq¯ ` ıbaz ` ¯ ao ¯ le! zˇenme ban? a, duo¯ chengy u! ˇ tai Ah! So many chengyu! What a mess! What should I do?
B:
别担心，日常生活不需要那么多成语，知道几个 就好。比如乱七八糟。 ´ shenghu ` ´ ¯ ın, r`ıchang ¯ bie´ danx¯ o´ b`u xuy` duo¯ chengy u, ˇ ¯ ao name ` jˇı ge jiu` hao. ˇ bˇıru´ luanq¯ ` ıbaz ¯ ao. ¯ zh¯ıdao Don’t worry, in everyday life you don’t need to know very many chengyu. If you know a few, it’s enough. For example, ’what a mess.’
A:
我还以为四个字的都是成语，结果好多只是普通 词组。 ´ yˇıwei ´ s`ı ge z`ı de dou ´ ´ oˇ hao ˇ duo¯ ¯ sh`ı chengy woˇ hai u, ˇ jiegu ¯ zhˇı sh`ı put c´ızu. ˇ ong ˇ I thought that four words together were all chengyu. It turns out a lot are just popular sayings.
B:
成语都是固定的，不能随便改。 ´ ´ ` gai. ˇ ¯ sh`ı gud` chengy uˇ dou su´ıbian ` ıng de, b`uneng All chengyu are fixed. One can’t just change them around.
A:
真不明白，语言都是活的，为什么我们不能改？

B:
这就是成语的特点。它们好多都是从历史故事或 者古典文学来的，经过很长时间才成为成语。 ´ ` an. ˇ tamen ˇ duo¯ dou ´ ¯ sh`ı cong ¯ uˇ de tedi hao zhe` jiush` ` ı chengy ` eˇ gudi ˇ wenxu ´ ´ de, j¯ıngguo` hen ˇ chang ´ l`ıshˇı gushi huozh e´ lai ` ˇ an ´ chengw ´ ´ chengy ´ ¯ cai sh´ıjian ei u. ˇ This is the special thing about chengyu. Many of them come from historical tales or classical literature. Only after a long time do they become chengyu.
A:
是谁决定的呢？ ´ jued` ´ ıng de ne? sh`ı shei So who decides that they are?
B:
我也不知道，我又不是语言学家。你别给自己那 么大压力，不会成语不影响沟通。 ` woˇ y`ou b`u sh`ı yuy´ ´ a. ˇ z`ıjˇı ¯ nˇı bie´ gei woˇ yˇe b`u zh¯ıdao, ˇ anxueji ` ´ ˇ ¯ ong. ¯ name da` y¯al`ı, b`uhu`ı chengy uˇ b`u yˇıngxiang gout I don’t know either, I’m certainly no linguist. Don’t give yourself so much pressure. Not being able to use chengyu won’t influence your ability to communicate.

说的也对。
