副词“就”：表示决定和强调

HSK 2Lesson 5
The Adverb 就: Making a Decision, Adding Emphasis
结构Pattern
PatternExample
就 + V + 吧就买这件吧！
那就 + choice + 吧那就六点吧！
就是 + N他就是马克。
就在 + Place商店就在前面。
解释Explanation

“就”放在动词前面。1. 说话人想好了、决定了，常说“就……吧”，比如“就买这件吧”。2. “就是”表示“不是别的，正是这个”，用来强调，比如“那个人就是王明”。3. “就在……”表示很近，比如“商店就在前面”。

就 always sits right before the verb (or before 是 / 在). Three everyday uses: (1) DECIDING — after weighing options, 就 + verb + 吧 announces your choice: 就买这件吧 "I'll go with this one", 那就六点吧 "Six it is, then". (2) EMPHASIS — 就是 means "none other than, precisely": 那个人就是王明 "That's Wang Ming right there". (3) CLOSENESS — 就在 + place means "right (there)": 商店就在前面 "The shop is just ahead".
