The Chinese word 热量 (rèliàng) is composed of two characters: 热 (rè), meaning "heat," and 量 (liàng), meaning "amount" or "quantity." Together, they literally mean "the amount of heat." This term is used in physics to refer to the amount of thermal energy transferred between two objects or systems. In the context of nutrition, 热量 specifically refers to the energy content of food, which is measured in calories or kilojoules. Understanding the etymology of 热量 can help HSK learners grasp its precise meaning and usage in both scientific and everyday contexts.
