还要
还要 (hái yào) is a common Chinese phrase meaning 'also need' or 'still need.' It is used to indicate that something additional is required or expected, often in the context of a continuing action or requirement.
The character 还 (hái) means 'still' or 'again,' and 要 (yāo) means 'need' or 'want.' Together, they form a phrase that emphasizes an ongoing necessity or an added requirement beyond what has already been mentioned.
在日常生活中,还要常用于表达某事尚未完成或需要进一步处理。例如,在安排活动时,可以说“我们还要准备一些食物”(We still need to prepare some food)。这种表达方式在口语和书面语中都非常常见。
