刘墉的一双儿女刘轩、刘倚帆成长于美国,分别毕业于哈佛大学和沃顿商学院。很多人惊讶他们在美国土生土长,汉语却异常优秀。这与刘墉的中文启蒙教育法密切相关!
★字中有画,画中有字,从生动图画中认识汉字!
全书75个基础汉字,每个汉字都配有一张刘墉手绘彩图和一张字形剪影,带领小读者从图像开始认识汉字。
★中英对照解说,循序渐进培养孩子的双语能力!
中文由刘墉书写,刘墉妻子校订;英文由女儿刘倚帆从小边学边译,儿子刘轩校订。行文简单易读,双语能力轻松掌握。
★趣味“找一找”,读书也能玩游戏!
每个汉字配有一张取材日常生活的照片,它们是刘墉在世界各地旅行时用心拍摄。路边招牌、名胜古迹,都可以进行“汉字寻宝游戏”。认真“找一找”,进一步强化文字记忆。
一部真正适合3-6岁孩子识字的趣味启蒙书,刘墉的儿子刘轩、女儿刘倚帆生长在国外却中文能力超群的独家秘诀!
孩子要认识一个汉字,需要知道这个字是从哪里来,明白这个字的意思,以及在生活中什么地方会用到这个字。海峡两岸知名教育家刘墉独创“图像联系记忆法”,教给孩子每个汉字的同时,会亲手绘出相对应的图画、剪影,让汉字变得生动有趣、活灵活现。它不仅是一本汉字启蒙书,更是刘墉三十年传家汉字学习法的心血结晶。

一个字、一张画 、一个故事
A character, a picture, a story
多半的人小时候学写汉字,都觉得挺辛苦。
Most people who learned to write Chinese
characters when they were young, remember it as a difficult task.
可不是吗?拼音文字只要会说,大概就能八九不离十地拼出来。汉字却一笔一画、左撇右捺,简直像画画。不过顺着这条路想,如果小孩学汉字的时候,都能用游戏的心情去画,不是很有意思吗?
And difficult it certainly was! Alphabetic
writing systems can be learned in a logical way; if you can pronounce it, you
can probably write it. But Chinese characters are drawn one by one, stroke by
stroke, like miniature paintings. Though it seems laborious, if we follow this
line of thought and let children treat Chinese as a drawing game, wouldn, t it
make the whole task of learning much more fun?
譬如先画个框框,里面再画个小女孩,是形容女娃娃的“囡”;框框里面画个人,那人则成为关在里面的囚犯。
For example, first draw a box frame, then
draw a little girl inside. That is the character “囡”, which means “a little girl”. But if inside the frame you draw an adult person “人”, the character “囚” means “a prisoner”.
两扇门当中画个太阳,是中间的“间”;换成一个人,是一闪而过的“闪”。
The sun “日” in the middle of double doors “门” makes “间”,which means “between”. If you change
that sun to a person, it makes “闪”, meaning “a flash”. You can
imagine a person appearing in the doorway in a flash.
月亮还没下去,太阳已经从草坡上露脸,是黎明的“朝”;太阳不但落进草地里,还落了又落,落下两个太阳,是“暮”。
The moon has not disappeared, but the sun
has already risen from beyond the grassy slope: that is the character “朝”, which means “dawn”. When the sun not only falls into the grass, but continues to fall,
appearing as two suns in a double image, it becomes “暮”, meaning “dusk”.
把“口”里的东西吐到“土”上,是“吐”;从“天”上掉东西到“口”里,是“吞”。
From the “mouth”“口”onto “earth”“土”makes “吐” meaning “to spit”; from the “sky”“天” into “mouth” makes “吞”, which means
“swallow”.
也有些字很抽象,譬如,上面写个“中”,下面画只手,正好抓住上面“中”的那一竖,是必须公正执中、不偏不倚的“史”;上面写个中,下面画个心,是把良心放在最中央的“忠”。
Some characters are also abstractly
expressive. For example, if you write “middle”“中” on top with a hand
on the bottom grasping the vertical stroke of the “中”, it makes “史”, which means
“history”. A hand writing something that is “balanced and impartial” seems to
suggest the ideal of historical writing. If you write “中” and put a heart under it, that yields the character “忠”,which means “loyalty”. You can think of it as “loyalty is where you put your heart at the center”.
往复杂一点看:草莽的“莽”,笔画虽然多,其实很简单:上面是草,下面也是草,中间一只狗在跑,不是很荒野、很草莽吗?
Let, s look at a more complex character,
such as “莽”. Although the
character has many strokes, it is actually very simple when you think about it
as a picture: there is grass above, there is grass below, and a dog “犬” is running between the grass. Is it not a very “wild”“grassy”image?
还有跳蚤的“蚤”,好像挺复杂,其实只要画一只手,在手指间画一个像跳蚤的小点子,下面再加个“虫”字,就成了。
至于流水的“流”,只要在左边画三点水,右边画个长头发、头朝下的“子”,好像一个人在水里游泳就对了!
There is also the character for flea “蚤”, which seems quite complicated at first glance. In fact, just draw
a hand and a small dot like flea between the fingers, then add the radical for
insect “虫 ” below, and there you have it! As for the character “flow”“流”, draw three
splashes of water on the left side, three strokes resembling long hair on the
right side, and a “child”“子” with his head down, as if swimming in the water.
以上都是这本书里介绍的汉字,它们经过我的挑选,让小朋友和初学汉字的外国人能够很快进入汉字的王国。这个入门非常重要,一个人如果从一开始就用图画的方式学习汉字,这可以影响他一生。因为死记硬背学的汉字是死的,从图像入手学的汉字是活的。好比你新认识一个人,起初只知道他的名字,但是如果有一天,那人邀请你去他家,你知道了他的家庭背景,甚至人生遭遇,下一次见到他,他虽然还是那个样子、还叫那个名字,但在你心里,他却变得“亲切”了。
These are the Chinese characters introduced
in this book. They have been selected by me so that children and foreigners who
are learning Chinese can quickly enter the land of imagery and imagination.
This entry is very important. If a person learns characters this way from the
start, it can influence the rest of the learning process. Chinese characters
that are rote memorized are dull, but Chinese characters learned from imagery
come alive. It, s like getting to know a new friend. At first you only know his
name, but if one day, the person invites you to his home, and you learn about
his family and his life story, next time when you see him again, even though he
still looks the same and you call him the same name, he will feel “friendly” to
your heart.
这本书是我和儿女合作的。儿子早年到美国才读小学一年级,女儿则是在美国出生的,为了让他们不忘本,我坚持教他们中文。儿子因为在中国学过一年,还好教些,女儿就难了,因为她生长在美语环境下,为了让她不排斥学汉字,我不得不设计一套“从图画到剪影到文字,外加生活照片”的方法。而且为了让她知道汉字是怎么演变成今天的样子,我会把甲骨文、大篆、小篆、隶书、行书和楷书都写给她看。又为了确定她懂了,我在用中文解说之后,总要她翻译成英文,并且鼓励她说:将来可以出书。
This book is a collaboration with my
children. My son Xuan lived in the United States since his early years, and my
Yvonne daughter was born there. In order to educate them on their roots and
culture, I insisted on teaching them Chinese myself. My son had his early
education in China, so he already had the fundamentals, but my daughter was a
different story. In the American environment, for her to accept learning
Chinese characters, I had to design a system that taught her the characters as
a set of pictures, from drawings to sketches to text, with the addition of
photos from real life. And in order to let her know how Chinese characters have
evolved into what they are today, I wrote out the oracle bone, big and small
seal, clerical, semi-cursive and cursive versions of the scripts, all the way
to the present-day regular script. And to make sure she truly understood, I
always asked her to translate my explanations into English. I even encouraged
her efforts by saying, “One day, we can publish this as a book!”
二十多年后的今天,我的诺言终于实现了。因为女儿翻译的时候年纪小,英文比较稚嫩,我还请刘轩做最后的校正,借机让儿子又温习了一次。太太则担任中文校对和与出版社的联系工作,真可以说是全家联手的作品。
Today, more than twenty years later, my
promise has finally come true. Because Yvonne was younger when she did the
original English translation, I also asked Xuan to make the final edits. He
said it was a good opportunity to refresh the material. My wife Weiwei did the
proofreading and corresponded with the publishing house. It was a true family
effort.
这本书的编辑工作,主要是我今年暑假在中国台北完成的,为了找到能够配合的照片,我常常不得不顶着烈日出去拍摄。正在澳洲度假的儿子和在纽约工作的女儿也被我隔海催稿,我们决定把在台首版版税全部捐作公益,以感谢读者几十年来对我们的爱护!
The editorial work of this book was mainly
done in Taipei this summer. In order to shoot suitable photos for the characters,
I often had to venture out with my camera in the hot noon sun. My son who was
on vacation in Australia, and my daughter who is working full time in New York,
have also been “drafted” by me on short notice to complete this manuscript.
Finally, we have decided as a family to donate all the royalties from the first
Taiwan edition for social benefit, as gratitude for the many years of love and
support we have received from readers like you. Thank you all!

刘墉给每个汉字都配上了图片和故事,还在每个汉字的下面将这个汉字演变历程展现出来:从甲骨文、金文、小篆到隶书、行草、楷书,让学习者直观地看到汉字演变的历程。用配上图片、故事和汉字演变历程的方法,可以使学习者更高效地学习汉字。
——《人民日报》海外版
作家刘墉旅居美国,两个孩子都在美国成长、受教育,中文却“顶呱呱”。原来刘墉自创独门学字秘籍。他常将汉字画成图画,说故事给孩子听,配上照片与找找看游戏,让孩子理解汉字的美感与创意。该书不仅适用于需要识字的幼儿,也适用于想要学习中文的外国人。
——美国《世界日报》
一个简单的汉字,能从欣赏的角度、故事般叙事、游戏般乐趣去学习,对当代年轻学子而言是否更可亲?刘家父、子、孙三代的汉字学习法,如今整理出版为《汉字有意思》,希望中文的学习更加内化。
——《旺报》
作家刘墉用“猜字游戏”带领大家在动脑子、长见识的同时,也回味了一番传统文化的博大精深和汉字之美。中国文字的奥妙之处太深,这种“形象教学”生动又有趣,运用到孩子们的教育当中一定会事半功倍。

我们常能看见太阳已经出来了,月亮还没落下去。把太阳和月亮放在一起,是不是也能表示早上呢?
可以!但是要表现太阳还在草里,没有完全升起,这就是“朝”字的由来。日本最大的报纸《朝日新闻》,就取了“朝”和“日”作报纸的名字,意思是每天早上出的报纸。
“朝” means “early morning”, because at
dawn, we can still see the moon while the sun is rising. So when you put the
sun and moon together, can it also mean “dawn”?
Yes! However, the sun must be shown to be
in the grass because it has not yet fully risen. Japan, s largest newspaper 《朝日新闻》 has the words “朝”and “日”, meaning that it is a newspaper which comes out every morning.
学了“早”,你或许要问,傍晚该怎么写?
太阳西落时不是也落在草上吗?与“早”有什么不同呢?
中文字里是有不同的,它不像“早”,把太阳画在草上,而是画在草当中,表示太阳落到草里去了。后来,不知为什么又加了一个太阳,成为今天的“暮”字。
After learning “morning”“早”, you might
ask, “How do you write ‘dusk’?”
When the sun sets, doesn, t it set in the
grass also? Then what is the difference between the two words?
Unlike “早”, where the sun rises over the grass, the sun in “dusk”“暮” has already set
into the grass. Later, for reasons not known to us, another sun was added to
make the current character for dusk:“暮”.
