拍摄 (pāi shè)
shoot
The Chinese word 拍摄 (pāishè) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 拍 (pāi) and 摄 (shè). The character 拍 originally meant "to strike" or "to clap", and it is still used in this sense today. However, it can also be used in a more figurative sense to mean "to take a picture" or "to shoot a film". The character 摄 originally meant "to seize" or "to capture", and it is still used in this sense today. However, it can also be used in a more figurative sense to mean "to take a picture" or "to shoot a film". The combination of these two characters creates the word 拍摄, which means "to take a picture" or "to shoot a film".
