behind the scenes
The Chinese word 场面 (chǎngmiàn) is composed of two characters: 场 (chǎng) and 面 (miàn). 场 originally meant "a flat piece of land" or "a place where something happens", while 面 originally meant "face" or "surface". When combined, 场面 literally means "the face of a place" or "the scene of an event". In modern Chinese, 场面 is used to refer to a scene, a situation, or an occasion. It can also be used to refer to the atmosphere or mood of a place or event. For example, the phrase 热闹的场面 (rènaode chǎngmiàn) means "a lively scene", while the phrase 尴尬的场面 (gāngkǎode chǎngmiàn) means "an awkward situation". 场面 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts to describe the setting, atmosphere, or events of a particular situation.
