REAL CORPUS EXAMPLES

How 上下文 actually appears in real sentences.

These sentences are copied from the Tatoeba corpus, so they are real usage rather than generated text. 上下文 appears in 3 of the 89,190 sentences we searched. Sentences without a published English translation are shown in Chinese only.

没有上下文就没有词义。méi yǒu shàng xià wén jiù méi yǒu cí yì。

No context, no text.

独立的句子和文章中的句子的区别在于后者具备上下文。dú lì de jù zi hé wén zhāng zhōng de jù zi de qū bié zài yú hòu zhě jù bèi shàng xià wén。

The difference between a standalone sentence and a sentence in the middle of an essay is that the latter has context.

在 Tatoeba 上写文章的难点在于,我们需要让每一句句子在没有上下文的时候都具备丰富的语义,同时这么多句子连缀在一起不失连贯性。zài Tatoeba shàng xiě wén zhāng de nán diǎn zài yú, wǒ men xū yào ràng měi yī jù jù zi zài méi yǒu shàng xià wén de shí hòu dōu jù bèi fēng fù de yǔ yì, tóng shí zhè me duō jù zi lián zhuì zài yì qǐ bù shī lián guàn xìng。
