🏮 Cultural Story
中文 Chinese
"辆"用于所有有轮子的交通工具。"一辆车"、"一辆自行车"、"一辆公交车"、"一辆卡车"——只要是有轮子的陆地载具都用"辆"。有趣的是"辆"字里面藏着"两"（兩），因为古代的车都是**两**个轮子的！后来四轮车发明了但量词没改。下次看到"辆"字，想想里面的"两"——两个轮子跑得快！
English
**辆 (liàng)** = wheeled vehicles. Car, bicycle, bus, truck — anything with wheels on land. Fun fact: 辆 contains "two" (两) inside because ancient chariots had TWO wheels! See the "两" in 辆 next time!
🎯 辆 = wheeled vehicle. Contains "two" = two wheels!
💡 Memory Tip
辆 is for wheeled land vehicles. Car, bike, bus — all use 辆.
