How it came to be
Two crossings drawn over cloth: weaving so loose one can see through it. Thin cloth is cloth with something missing, and scarce and hoped-for both come off that.
用法
- Almost exclusively half of 希望 (xīwàng) = to hope - 希望你来 (xīwàng nǐ lái) I hope you come.
- Trap: 希望 covers both the verb "hope" and the noun "hope"; it's for realistic wishes, whereas 但愿 (dànyuàn) carries a wistful "if only".
