爬墙 = 扒墙?
Hello again,
I have learned that "爬墙 pá qiáng" means...
1) to climb up a wall
2) to avoid or run away from responsibilities
3) to break a promise, to break one's word
4) to terminate a contract
But in the most basic sense ("to climb a wall"),
does 扒墙 have the same meaning as 爬墙?
And what is the correct way to pronounce 扒墙?
“扒墙” 这个词的正音是哪一个?
a. bā qiáng
b. pá qiáng
谢谢大家!
