Did You Know?

Although yen suggests no more than a strong desire these days (as in "a yen for a beach vacation") at one time someone with a yen was in deep trouble: the first meaning of yen was an intense craving for opium. The word comes from Cantonese yīn-yáhn a combination of yīn meaning "opium " and yáhn "craving." In English the Chinese syllables were translated as yen-yen.

如今 yen 表示强烈的欲望（如“a yen for a beach vacation「渴望海滩度假」”），但曾经有些人因为欲望而陷入了困境：yen 最先是指对鸦片的强烈渴望。 这个词来自粤语 yīn-yáhn，是 yīn 的组合，意思是“opium「鸦片」”，yáhn 是“craving「渴望」”。 在英语中，中文被翻译为yen-yen。
