动听

• Pinyin: dòng tīng
• Desglose de hanzi: 动 = 云 + 力 (to move emotionally); 听 = 口 + 斤 (to hear — ear attending to sound)

Significado

Melodioso; agradable al oído; que conmueve.

Can describe both music and spoken language. When applied to speech or promises, it may carry a subtly ironic or cautious tone — words that sound appealing but may not be reliable. Context determines whether it is sincere praise or gentle scepticism.

Ejemplos

2. 他的演讲措辞动听，但内容是否言之有物，还需仔细推敲。
3. 溪水潺潺、鸟鸣悦耳，山间的自然之音是最动听的乐章。
