New Members Emily22 Posted September 19, 2014 at 10:29 AM New Members Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 at 10:29 AM Hello everyone I came across a sentence that goes like: 那些 有 你 在 身边 的 影片 呼 的 一声 飞 的 老远 老远 I understand that the general meaning of the sentence is: those images of you beside me have flown far, far away. But what is 呼 的 一声? Could someone put it in a different context? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayXZ Posted September 19, 2014 at 12:20 PM Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 at 12:20 PM 呼的一声is a onomatopoeia (象声词), as the sound of a fast flying object, meaning very fast. Another common onomatopoeia is 嗖的一声 (sou1 de yi4sheng1), like in 这辆车从我旁边嗖的一声开过去。 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
