The Chinese word 比重 (bǐzhòng) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 比 (bǐ), meaning "compare" or "ratio", and 重 (zhòng), meaning "weight" or "importance". Together, these characters form the concept of "specific gravity" or "relative importance".The term 比重 is often used in scientific contexts to refer to the density of a substance relative to the density of water. In this sense, it is equivalent to the English term "specific gravity". For example, the 比重 of gold is 19.3, which means that gold is 19.3 times denser than water.In addition to its scientific usage, 比重 can also be used in a more general sense to refer to the relative importance or significance of something. For example, someone might say that a particular issue has a high 比重 in society, meaning that it is considered to be very important.The word 比重 is a useful addition to any HSK learner's vocabulary, as it can be used in a variety of contexts to express the concepts of specific gravity and relative importance.
