뜻

화산

火山 is the standard Chinese term for volcano. China has several notable volcanoes including 长白山天池 (Changbaishan Tianchi), a supervolcano. Types include 活火山 (active volcano), 死火山 (extinct volcano), and 休眠火山 (dormant volcano). Figuratively, 火山 describes someone or something about to explode: 他就像一座即将爆发的火山 (he is like a volcano about to erupt).

올바른 표현

• 地质学家用卫星实时追踪活火山，一旦数据异常就立刻启动疏散预案，保护居民安全。(Geologists use satellites to track active volcanoes in real time, and once the data turns abnormal, they immediately launch evacuation plans to protect residents.)
• 冰岛火山密度很高，频繁喷发虽有风险，却也带来丰富地热资源，助它成为可再生能源大国。(Iceland has a very high volcano density; frequent eruptions are risky, but they also bring rich geothermal resources and help make Iceland a major renewable-energy country.)

피해야 할 표현

• 火山 for an ordinary mountain with hot springs — use 温泉 for hot springs; 火山 specifically refers to a volcanic mountain with a magma vent, not merely a geothermally heated area

기원과 역사

火 (fire) + 山 (mountain) — literally 'fire mountain'; a vivid and intuitive description coined from direct observation of volcanic phenomena — a mountain that spews fire and molten rock
