- # This is Stephen Simpson's example FlashCard
- # for use with his program FLASH.EXE. !FlashCard for Riscos also
- # uses the same format.
- #
- # Free-form comments can go on lines beginning with #.
- # Each line not beginning with # is a flashcard.
- #
- # A flashcard may consist of a single Chinese character.
- # For example:
- #
- Às Áú long2 dragon
- #
- # In this example of a single-character flashcard,
- # ``Às'' is the traditional form of the character,
- # ``Áú'' is the simplified form of the character,
- # ``long2'' is the pronunciation of the character,
- # ``dragon'' is the English meaning of the character.
- #
- # Here are some more examples of single-character flashcards.
- #
- ³n Èí ruan3 soft
- Åé Ìå ti3 body
- ¥ó ** jian4 piece (measure word)
- ¨ú ** qu3 take
- ¥Î ** yong4 use
- #
- # Note that ** takes the place of a simplified character whenever
- # it is the same as the corresponding traditional character.
- #
- # Instead of a single character, a flashcard may contain a
- # two-character phrase. Some examples:
- #
- §K¶O **·Ñ mian3 fei4 free, gratis
- ¥ô¦ó **** ren4 he2 no matter what
- ³nÅé ÈíÌå ruan3 ti3 software (ROC usage)
