<p>I have a kid's book for learning "378汉字.“  Each page has six or eight entries, each comprising a photo, the character, and what I suppose is an example of use.  But none of the examples make any sense.  I have looked up the words (according to how a segmenter program divides them) but cannot come up with any reasonable English translation.  I've only tried one page, which has:</p>

<pre><code>刀   刀口刀柄
勺   马勺铁勺
筷   筷筒火筷
尺   格尺尺度
叉   交叉叉烧
帘   纱帘帘幕
</code></pre>

<p>Also tried Google Translate, but (no surprise) the results there were worse than my attempts—and I can't even pass HSK 1 yet.</p>
