K-Dictionary Vol. 08:「화이팅」聽得多,要怎樣用?

If you’re into Korean entertainment, it wouldn’t be long before you hear celebrities blasting out “fighting (화이팅)” all the time. At first, you might wonder if they really mean physical fighting, but don’t worry, this Korean word is used as words of encouragement or cheer meaning “good luck,” “let’s go,” and “add oil,” along with its distinctive hand gestures resembling a fist pump.

如果你對韓國娛樂非常熟悉,就肯定不會對藝人們總是叫喊的「Fighting」(화이팅) 感到陌生。最初,你可能想弄明白她們是不是真的有肢體打鬥的意思,但別擔心,這個韓國字實質上是用作表達「好運」、「一起去吧」和「加油」的意思,有鼓勵或激勵的意味,通常配合特有的打氣拳頭手勢一起使用。

Although the word sounds more like “hwaiting” or “paiting,” Koreans love to say this word in any kind of situations from cheering for their national sports teams to wishing another the best of luck in exams, competitions, or any kind of challenging situations.

即使這個字的聲音聽起來像「hwaiting」或者「paiting」,韓國人在任何情境下都總喜歡用這個字,例如為國家運動隊打氣,希望其他人考試、比賽或進行任何一種具挑戰性的活動都能獲得好運氣等等。

A: I have to stay up all night doing homework.

A:我要通宵趕功課。

B: You can do it, fighting!

B:你可以做得到,加油!

The usage is well demonstrated by the cast in a Korean drama Full House (2006).

它的用法在2006年韓劇《浪漫滿屋》其中一幕被很好的示範。

At sporting events, you can often hear the crowd cheering for their team with fighting, preceded by “aja aja (아자아자)” to pump the crowd up, resulting in a synchronized chant of “aja aja fighting (아자아자 파이팅).”

在運動項目中,你能經常聽見人群為他們的隊伍喊口號打氣,在之前會說「aja aja」(아자아자)來集合打氣人群,結果變成了一種同步配合的口號「aja aja fighting」(아자아자 파이팅)。

So the next time you want to cheer for a friend or your team, use the word “fighting”!

所以下次你想為朋友或自己的隊伍打氣時,可以使用「Fighting」這個字呢!
