-====== dǐkàng: 抵抗 - To Resist, Oppose, Withstand ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +
-  * **Keywords:** 抵抗, dǐkàng, resist in Chinese, oppose in Chinese, withstand in Chinese, Chinese word for resistance, dǐkàng meaning, how to use dǐkàng, Chinese immunity, Chinese history resistance, HSK 5 +
-  * **Summary:** Learn the powerful Chinese word **抵抗 (dǐkàng)**, which means "to resist," "oppose," or "withstand." This guide breaks down its meaning, from historical significance in the "War of Resistance" (抗日战争) to modern usage for describing the body's immunity (抵抗力) or resisting temptation. Understand the difference between dǐkàng and 反对 (fǎnduì), and learn how to use this essential HSK 5 vocabulary word correctly in conversation. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** dǐ kàng +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb, Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** To fight against or oppose a force, pressure, or attack. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **抵抗 (dǐkàng)** is a strong, active word that captures the feeling of pushing back against something powerful. Think of it as putting up a fight, whether it's a nation resisting an invasion, your body fighting off a virus, or your willpower resisting a strong temptation. It implies a struggle and a determined effort to not give in. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **抵 (dǐ):** This character means "to resist" or "to push against." The radical on the left, **扌**, is the "hand radical," indicating an action performed with the hand. It suggests physically holding something back. +
-  * **抗 (kàng):** This character also means "to resist" or "to defy." It too contains the **扌** "hand radical," again emphasizing a physical action of opposition. +
-  * The two characters combine to create a powerful, reinforced meaning. Both components suggest using one's hands (and by extension, one's strength) to push back against an opposing force. This makes **抵抗 (dǐkàng)** a very vivid word for active resistance. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-The word **抵抗 (dǐkàng)** holds immense weight in modern Chinese culture, primarily due to its connection with the **抗日战争 (Kàng Rì Zhànzhēng)** - The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-1945). This period is a cornerstone of China's national narrative, symbolizing a time of immense suffering but also of heroic national unity and defiance against a foreign invader. In this context, **抵抗** is not just a word; it's a concept imbued with patriotism, sacrifice, and national pride. +
-This is different from the general use of "resistance" in English. While an American might say they "resisted the urge to eat a donut," which is a lighthearted, personal struggle, using **抵抗** in Chinese often evokes a more serious, high-stakes confrontation. The closest Western cultural parallel might be the term "The Resistance" referring to movements against occupation in WWII Europe. However, in China, the association of **抵抗** with the specific struggle against Japan is deeply ingrained in education, media, and national consciousness, making it a word of profound historical and emotional significance. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-While its historical meaning is powerful, **抵抗** is also a practical word in modern life. Its usage is generally more formal and reserved for significant opposition. +
-==== Medical and Health ==== +
-This is one of the most common modern uses. **抵抗力 (dǐkànglì)** means "resistance ability," or what we call the immune system or immunity. +
-  * e.g., "我的抵抗力很差，总是感冒。" (Wǒ de dǐkànglì hěn chà, zǒngshì gǎnmào.) - "My immunity is poor, I'm always catching colds." +
-==== Political and Social ==== +
-In formal contexts like news or political statements, **抵抗** is used for opposing policies, sanctions, or aggression. +
-  * e.g., "我们必须抵抗外国的干涉。" (Wǒmen bìxū dǐkàng wàiguó de gānshè.) - "We must resist foreign interference." +
-==== Personal and Metaphorical ==== +
-It can be used for strong personal struggles, though it can sound a bit dramatic if the situation is trivial. +
-  * e.g., "他努力抵抗着烟瘾。" (Tā nǔlì dǐkàng zhe yānyǐn.) - "He is trying hard to resist his addiction to smoking." +
-===== Example Sentences ===== +
-  * **Example 1:** +

-    * English: Faced with a huge temptation, he was completely unable to resist. +

-    * Pinyin: Tā de yīshēng dōu zài yǔ mìngyùn **dǐkàng**. +
-    * English: His whole life has been a struggle against fate. +
-    * Analysis: A very literary and philosophical use of the word. It portrays a life-long, epic struggle, perfectly capturing the powerful feeling of **抵抗**. +
-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **抵抗 (dǐkàng) vs. 反对 (fǎnduì):** This is the most common point of confusion for learners. +
-    * **抵抗 (dǐkàng)** implies resisting a force, pressure, or physical attack. It's about withstanding something. You **抵抗** an invasion, a disease, or a strong temptation. +
-    * **反对 (fǎnduì)** means to oppose an idea, a plan, or a suggestion. It's about disagreement. You **反对** a proposal at a meeting or **反对** your friend's bad idea. +
-    * **Incorrect:** 我抵抗这个计划。(Wǒ dǐkàng zhège jìhuà.) -> This sounds like the plan is physically attacking you. +
-    * **Correct:** 我反对这个计划。(Wǒ fǎnduì zhège jìhuà.) - I oppose this plan. +
-  * **Overusing it for Trivial Things:** In English, you can say "I couldn't resist that piece of cake." Directly translating this with **抵抗** (我无法抵抗那块蛋糕) sounds overly dramatic, as if the cake has a powerful, malevolent force. +
-    * **More Natural:** 我忍不住吃了那块蛋糕。(Wǒ rěn bu zhù chī le nà kuài dàngāo.) - "I couldn't hold back and ate that piece of cake." **忍不住 (rěn bu zhù)** is the perfect phrase for not being able to resist a minor urge. +
