Usage of 挡 (dǎng)
挡 primarily means 'to block' or 'to resist' and is often used when something physically obstructs another object or when someone tries to stop an action or force. It can describe blocking a physical object like a ball or view, or resisting an attack or influence.
Common Collocations
- 挡住 (dǎng zhù): to block or stop something from passing through.
- 挡风 (dǎng fēng): to block the wind, often used for clothes or barriers.
- 挡路 (dǎng lù): to block the way, used when something or someone obstructs a path.
Notes
挡 is often used in everyday conversation to describe physical blocking but can also imply resistance in a more abstract sense, such as resisting pressure or attacks. It is different from 拦 (lán), which often implies actively intercepting or stopping someone deliberately, while 挡 can be more passive, simply being in the way.
When using 挡, the object being blocked is usually placed after the verb, often with the particle 住 to indicate the blocking is effective or complete.
