| mào To rise/emit/risk The Chinese character 冒 (mào) can mean "to emit," "to rise," "to risk," or "to venture," depending on the context. Here are a few simple sentences: 1. 冒着热气的汤 (mào zhe rè qì de tāng) - The soup is steaming hot. (Here, 冒 means "to emit" steam.) 2. 冒险 (màoxiǎn) - to take a risk or to venture. (Here, 冒 is used in the sense of taking a risk.) 3. 冒出来 (mào chūlái) - to come out or appear. (Here, 冒 indicates something coming up or appearing.) In these examples, 冒 is used to convey the sense of something coming up or being emitted, such as steam, or the figurative sense of taking a risk.

比例

| bǐlì proportion (noun) 比例 is a noun in Chinese, meaning "proportion" or "ratio." It refers to the relationship in quantity, size, or amount between two or more things. 比例 is used to express how parts of a whole are related to each other or to the whole itself. It's not used as an adverb. If you're discussing comparisons or proportions in any context, 比例 is the noun you would use to convey these ideas.
