1. Some of the elements emphasized in Chinese, are different from in English. For example, in the sentence 那家餐厅的菜很丰富, the literal meaning is “That restaurant’s food is very plentiful”. The word 丰富 is often used with food to describe abundance, such as going to someone’s house for dinner and seeing how much food has been prepared for the occasion.

2. Similarly, in the sentence 他们卖的东西品质都很实在, we don’t normally use the word “authentic” or “real” to describe quality, whereas it is used in Chinese.
