20,000+ chinese sentences with translations and pinyin

Dataset Structure

Each sample consists of:

  1. English sentence
  2. HSK level
  3. Chinese translation
  4. Pinyin
  5. separator ("--")

Other Info from the Source

HSK level

All of the sentences came from sample sentences intended to describe a particular word. HSK level (in the category name) signifies the HSK level of the word this sentence describes. Note that "HSK level" is 1-4.

Limitation

This is a search of all characters in each level, including the characters that loner words are composed of. This is why even HSK level 4 sentences can contain sentences in "limited 1."

For example, 作主 (zuo4zhu3) is an HSK level 4 word. It contains 2 characters which both appear in other HSK level 1 words, and so the sample sentence for 作主 (assuming that sentence contains no other difficult words) might appear in the category "HSK 4; limited 1;"
