散步

• 拼音: sàn bù
• 汉字拆解: 散 = 攵 (strike) + left component, meaning to scatter or loosen; 步 = 止 (foot) + lower strokes depicting steps, meaning to walk or pace

含义

To take a walk; to stroll. A leisurely walk for relaxation or exercise, not for a destination.

A very common everyday expression for taking a casual, unhurried walk. Often done after meals (饭后散步 = walk after dinner) as a Chinese health habit, or in parks and neighbourhoods for relaxation. Used as a verb-object compound — the object 步 (step) can be separated by modifiers: 散散步 (take a little stroll), 散了一会儿步 (strolled for a while).

例句

1. 吃完晚饭以后，我们出去散步吧。
2. 爷爷每天早上都会去公园散步。
3. 她喜欢在河边散步，觉得很放松。
