The Chinese word 受灾 (shòu zāi) is composed of two characters: 受 (shòu) and 灾 (zāi). The character 受 means "to receive" or "to suffer", while the character 灾 means "disaster" or "calamity". Together, the two characters form the word 受灾, which means "to suffer a disaster" or "to be affected by a calamity".The word 受灾 is often used in news reports and official documents to describe the impact of natural disasters or other major events on people and property. For example, a news report about a flood might say that "数千人因洪水受灾" (shù qiān rén yīn hóng shuǐ shòu zāi), meaning "thousands of people were affected by the flood".The word 受灾 can also be used in a more general sense to refer to any kind of misfortune or hardship. For example, someone who has lost their job might say that they are 受灾了 (shòu zāi le), meaning "I have suffered a misfortune".The word 受灾 is a common word in Chinese, and it is important for HSK learners to be familiar with its meaning and usage.
