Grammar Points

为了…Purpose ClauseHSK 3

`为了` introduces the goal or motivation behind an action; it’s followed by a verb phrase describing what someone intends to achieve.

"为了追求名利,常常弄虚作假,把别人的作品,改头换面当做自己的“创作”。"

把…当做…Treat AsHSK 4

`把` marks the object being manipulated, and `当做` shows how it is treated — in this case someone’s work is being treated as one’s own.

"把别人的作品,改头换面当做自己的“创作”。"

把…成…Transform IntoHSK 4

This structure uses `把` plus an object and `成` to describe changing something into a new form or state.

"意思是要把天上的明月雕刻成歌舞时用的扇子,把空中的彩云剪裁成跳舞时穿的衣裳。"

一…便…As Soon AsHSK 4

`一…便…` expresses that once the first action happens, the second follows immediately; it’s similar to “as soon as.”

"张怀庆一看,便抄了下来,并在每句诗的开头加上两个字,凑成了一首“生情镂月为歌扇,出性裁云作舞衣”的七言诗。"

一…就…Immediate ResultHSK 3

`一…就…` indicates that once one event occurs, another happens right away; it emphasizes quick reaction or consequence.

"张怀庆这首诗一传出,人们就议论纷纷。"
