Five Sentence Patterns To Introduce Your Job In Chinese(2) The last artice here was trying to talk about how to introduce the job. but I think it was not designed well, so I re-wrote one article about this topic, and it was pulished on italki. hope it will be useful, and here to see more details : https://www.italki.com/article/692/five-sentence-patterns-to-introduce-your-job-in-chinese Pattern #2: 我是 (verb-object phrase) 的。 This is very suitable for jobs related to art (such as those mentioned above) as well as other jobs that can be described with a verb-object phrase. This includes painting pictures (画画), singing songs (唱歌), dancing (跳舞), playing the piano (弹钢琴), and teaching the piano (教钢琴). For example: 我是唱歌的。我是歌手。我是歌唱家。I am a singer. 我是跳舞的。我是舞者。我是舞蹈家。I am a dancer. 我是画画的。我是画家。I am a painter. 我是弹钢琴的。我是钢琴家。I am a pianist. 我是教钢琴的。我是钢琴老师。I teach piano. I am a piano teacher. In comparison, the sentences using pattern #2 show that you are modest and informal. Please note that in the last two example sentences above, the verb changes the meaning of the sentence. Science-related jobs that can be described with a verb-objective phrase can also use this sentence pattern. For example, doing experiments (做实验) and researching medicine (研究药物). 我是做实验的。I do experiments. 我是研究生药物的。I research medicine.Pattern #3: 我是做 / 搞 (noun) 的。 This is very suitable for jobs related to science. For example: chemistry (化学), pharmacy (药学), physics (物理学), biology (生物学), statistics (统计学), education (教育学), medicine (医学). 我是做 / 搞化学的。 我是做 / 搞药学的。 我是做 / 搞物理学的。 我是做 / 搞生物学的。 我是做 / 搞统计学的。 我是做 / 搞教育的。 我是做 / 搞医学的。 This pattern can be translated as “My job is related to …” It’s purpose is to give a general introduction about the type of work and the field without giving many additional details. When you don’t want to talk about specifics, can’t think of a fixed word for the job, or the job is not well known by the public, you can use this sentence pattern. Take the last sentence above as an example: “my job is related to medicine.” We know that there are many branches of medicine, so perhaps an ordinary person would not be familiar with a specific branch.
