Original phonetic: /wuːt̚² jɐn²¹/

01

living person

Examples

統統相符合的事,在戰爭或戰鬥中是極其少有的,這是因為戰爭或戰鬥的雙方是成群的武裝著的活人,而又互相保持秘密的緣故。

Such complete correspondence is extremely rare in a war or a battle, in which the belligerents are groups of live human beings bearing arms and keeping their secrets from each other; this is quite unlike handling inanimate objects or routine matters.

02

to revive a person; to bring someone else alive

Examples

若以為善矣,不足活身;以為不善矣,足以活人。

If indeed it be considered good, it is not sufficient to preserve their persons alive; if it be deemed not good, it is sufficient to preserve other people alive.
