In modern Chinese, the word "walk" usually means walking, running, etc. But in classical Chinese, it refers to a way of action, usually used as a verb. For example, there was a line in 'Dream of the Red Chamber':' The more he wanted to escape, the more he couldn't escape.' The word "escape" here was a verb that meant that he tried to escape but was unable to.

- She was listening to the group leader.
But in other novels, hearing may be seen as a term to represent sound or information itself, for example:
- I heard voices.
- She was on the phone.

Once there was a man who 'looked up' to his boss. One day, his boss said they were going to 'take on' a new project. The man was excited but a bit nervous. He 'got along' well with most of his colleagues, but there was one who always 'put him down'. As they started the project, they had to 'figure out' many problems. In the end, they managed to 'pull it off' successfully, and the man who used to 'put him down' finally 'came around' and apologized.
