喝彩有正彩,倒彩两种。

It's a sentence from an article about 喝彩. What's this "两种" (two types) semantically and grammatically? I understand it (probably wrong) as: cheering has a positive shade, booing two types.

喝彩有正彩,倒彩两种。

It means: there are two types of cheering, (namely) positive cheering and negative cheering(booing).

The sentence can be rephrased as 喝彩有两种(形式),正彩,倒彩。

  • OK, your answer is more like what I was looking for. But the original order is strange for me. Can I use this order in sentences like example below? ------------ 1. 我做两个工作,老师,警察 ---> 我做老师,警察两个工作 -------------- 2. 我喜欢两种水果,苹果,芒果 ---> 我喜欢苹果,芒果两种水果

    @musialmi Yes,except for the first one. The measure word for 工作 is 份,so we can say 我做两份工作,老师和警察。

I say 喝采 for real cheers and 倒喝采 for booing others.

兩種 means two kinds.

According to 百度:

喝彩,是汉语词汇,汉语拼音为hè cǎi 。 过去指的是是赌博掷骰子,呼喝作势,希望中彩。 后用以大声叫好。 如:宋 张任国 《柳梢青》词:“挂起招牌。一声喝采,旧店新开。”

and for 倒彩:

指观众在看演出或其他的表演时,故意发出不满的怪叫声。 老舍 《四世同堂》五八:“她不能随便得罪人,以至招出个倒彩来。” 张天翼 《谭九先生的工作》:“演戏呢,也一定会弄得一蹋糊涂,台底下的人都喝着倒彩,一个个把茶壶茶杯摔上台去。”

正彩:doesn't seem to be a word, but can be taken to mean the opposite of 倒彩 here.

All in all I think we have:

喝彩有正彩,倒彩两种。 There are two ways (两种) of showing your opinion: cheers and jeers.
