规矩、规定和规则 傻傻分不清？

  • by

规矩、规定、规则 are relatively close,They all mean rules.可与＂有、是、遵守、违反、合乎＂等动词搭配。

What’s the difference between them?

【规矩】规矩 means more of a habit, a standard of behavior，which is mostly used in the spoken language.

for example：

1，我家有个规矩，大人小孩都要参加劳动。（There’s a rule in my family. All children and adults have to do chores.）

2，房东太太有个规矩，每到夜里十点半就锁门。（The landlady has a rule. She locks the door at 10:30 every night.）

［规定］Emphasizing quantitative or qualitative standards for things, or ways and means of dealing with things, which may be written or declared orally. It’s often used with verbs such as＂实行、执行、符合＂etc.

for example：

1，乘交通车进城。每人收费一元二角，这是最近开始实行的新规定。（Take the transportation bus into town. The charge is one dollar and twenty cents per person, a new rule that has recently been introduced）

2，学校规定学生必须穿校服上学。（Schools require students to wear uniforms to school）

 

［规则］ 着重指制定出来的供大家共同遵守的制度、章程。一般是成文的，如＂比赛～、交通～、考试～、借书～、管理～＂等。还常与＂制定、执行＂等动词搭配。The rules refer to the system and regulations that have been formulated for everyone to follow. Generally written, such as “比赛 ~, 交通～（traffic rules）、考试～(Examination rules)、借书～(Borrowing Rules)、管理～（Administrative rules）” and so on. It is also often used with verbs such as “制定、执行”.于口语和书面语。

for example：

1，大家都遵守交通规则，那么就不会堵车了。（Everyone obeys the rules of the road, then there will be no traffic jams.）

2，借书规则里写：如果不能按期还书，就罚款100元。（The rules for borrowing books say that if you can’t return the book by the due date, you’ll be fined $100.）

All right, let’s see if you got it.
