Another more famous poem of Lǐ 相见时难别亦难,东风无力百花残。 春蚕到死丝方尽,蜡炬成灰泪始干。 晓镜但愁云鬓改,夜吟应觉月光寒。 蓬山此去无多路,青鸟殷勤为探看。

Hi pearltowerpete

Sorry for my poor English.

我想是的,对于“把”字句,要比普通的语句稍带些感情(有可能是好的,也有可能是坏的,如 小强把新电脑搞坏了 与 小强搞坏了新电脑, 旺财把这个难题解决了 与 旺财解决了这个难题),但这种感情非常 细微 或者说 细小,远不如语气语调上变动所带来的感情大。

我想与所有语言一样,某一句话的意思或感情在很大程度上依赖与上下文(content)和说话者的语气语调。

我的妈呀!  mamma mia!

或许这两个词能对得上吧

个人认为:

  a) 航空公司把我的行李弄丢了。
  b) 航空公司弄丢了我的行李。

对于B,根据你的语气,可能是心平气和的描述一个事实,也可能是有点生气的表达自己的感情,但A一般都是带点生气的感觉。

或者说,在这种情况下,用“把”的句子能更强烈的描述说话人的感情或感觉。

It's also hard and interest. Mostly,  to explain one Chinese word will cost a lot of En words. and i think maybe same on the other side.

 

It reminds me a joke about chinese word "东西",

most chinese people may can not explain "东西" even with chinese words.

 

 

汉语教师教外国学生学“东西”这个词,告诉学生“东西”泛指事物,凡物质和精神各因素均可称“东西”,有时可特指人。语义的理解相当明确。
可是外国人初学汉语,弄不清“东西”的指代范围和语用状况,更不知修辞和感情色彩。
老师问学生:“什么是‘东西’?”
学生回答:“桌子是东西,椅子是东西,我是东西,你是东西。”
老师提醒:“不对,不对。”学生连忙更正:“啊,对不起,你不是东西。”
老师又好气又好笑,再次提醒:“更不对了,不能说‘你不是东西’,这是骂人的话。”
这时学生愕然,问道:“那么你到底是不是东西?如果是东西的话,你是个什么东西?”
老师连忙说:“不行,不行。‘你是个什么东西?’也是骂人的话。”
学生听了更是茫然不解。
老师耐心地向学生解释:“东西”这个词一般指非人的事物,指人时有严格的语用和修辞限制。一般不说肯定句“张三是东西”;
否定句和疑问句则带有贬斥、责骂的意味,如“张三不是东西。”“李四是个什么东西?”
如果再加感情修饰词语,则修辞色彩更加丰富。有时加强贬斥意味,如“ 你这狗东西!”
有时表示厌恶色彩,如“这老东西活得有些不耐烦了。”有时表示诙谐和笑谑意味,如“你这个鬼东西,尽跟我捣蛋。”
有时表示喜爱色彩,如“这小东西真讨人喜爱。”
学生惊叹道:“呀,那么复杂!”
老师语重心长地说:“所以语言这东西不是随便可以学好的,非下苦功不可。”
学生更加惊奇,问:“语言也是东西?”
老师回答:“语言也可称为‘东西’,前面加个‘这’,表示强调。”
学生若有所悟,感叹道:“‘东西’这东西真是个怪东西!

谙

There are 2 words about the  谙,

不谙世事and深谙此道

you can use these 2 in your daily speech.

eg.

小强刚毕业,真是不谙世事,还是太年轻了

让旺财作客户投诉接待人员真是对了,他可是深谙此道啊
