重心 [zhòng xīn] [zhong xin]—
1. In physics, the point at which the resultant force of gravity acts on an object is called the "center of gravity" (, zhòngxīn). Draft History of the Qing Dynasty, Volume 27, Treatise on Astronomy II: "The Cheng Yi platform (承儀之臺 [cheng yi zhi tai], Chéng Yí zhī Tái) is approximately four chi (尺 [chi]) high, with a central column planted to secure the center of gravity (, zhòngxīn) of the instrument, allowing it to rotate left and right, up and down, and tilt in any direction, hence it is also known as the Bai You Instrument (百游儀 [bai you yi], Bǎi Yóu Yí)."
2. In mathematics, the common intersection point of the three medians of a triangle is called the "centroid" (, zhòngxīn). For example, "The distance from the centroid (, zhòngxīn) of a triangle to a vertex is twice the distance from the centroid (, zhòngxīn) to the midpoint of the opposite side."
3. As a metaphor, it refers to the center or main part of something. For example, "He places almost all of the focus (, zhòngxīn) of his life on his career."

重心:1.物理學上指一物體所受重力之合力的作用點,稱為「重心」。《清史稿.卷二七.天文志二》:「承儀之臺,約高四尺,中植立柱,以繫儀之重心,則左右旋轉,高低斜側,無所不可,故又名百游儀焉。」
2.數學上指三角形中三條中線的共同交點。如:「三角形重心到頂點的距離等於重心到對邊中點距離的兩倍。」
3.比喻為事情的中心或主要部分。如:「他把自己生活的重心,幾乎都放在事業上。」

zhòng xīn:1. wù lǐ xué shàng zhǐ yī wù tǐ suǒ shòu zhòng lì zhī hé lì de zuò yòng diǎn, chēng wèi “zhòng xīn” . < qīng shǐ gǎo. juǎn èr qī. tiān wén zhì èr>: “chéng yí zhī tái, yuē gāo sì chǐ, zhōng zhí lì zhù, yǐ xì yí zhī zhòng xīn, zé zuǒ yòu xuán zhuǎn, gāo dī xié cè, wú suǒ bù kě, gù yòu míng bǎi yóu yí yān.”
2. shù xué shàng zhǐ sān jiǎo xíng zhōng sān tiáo zhōng xiàn de gòng tóng jiāo diǎn. rú: “sān jiǎo xíng zhòng xīn dào dǐng diǎn de jù lí děng yú zhòng xīn dào duì biān zhōng diǎn jù lí de liǎng bèi.”
3. bǐ yù wèi shì qíng de zhōng xīn huò zhǔ yào bù fēn. rú: “tā bǎ zì jǐ shēng huó de zhòng xīn, jǐ hū dōu fàng zài shì yè shàng.”

zhong xin:1. wu li xue shang zhi yi wu ti suo shou zhong li zhi he li de zuo yong dian, cheng wei "zhong xin" . < qing shi gao. juan er qi. tian wen zhi er>: "cheng yi zhi tai, yue gao si chi, zhong zhi li zhu, yi xi yi zhi zhong xin, ze zuo you xuan zhuan, gao di xie ce, wu suo bu ke, gu you ming bai you yi yan."
2. shu xue shang zhi san jiao xing zhong san tiao zhong xian de gong tong jiao dian. ru: "san jiao xing zhong xin dao ding dian de ju li deng yu zhong xin dao dui bian zhong dian ju li de liang bei."
3. bi yu wei shi qing de zhong xin huo zhu yao bu fen. ru: "ta ba zi ji sheng huo de zhong xin, ji hu dou fang zai shi ye shang."

重新 [zhòng xīn] [zhong xin]—
From the beginning, once more. From "Slapping the Table in Amazement, First Collection" (初刻拍案驚奇 [chu ke pai an jing qi]), Volume 19: "After the offering to the gods (獻神 [xian shen]) was completed, they took away the blessed offerings (福物 [fu wu]), tidied them up a bit, and then re-arranged them." From "The Scholars" (儒林外史 [ru lin wai shi]), Chapter 12: "Seeing that he had brought a chivalrous knight (俠客 [xia ke]) with him, he felt that his behavior was different from the others, so he re-arranged the wine."

重新:從頭開始,再一次。《初刻拍案驚奇》卷一九:「獻神已畢,就將福物收去,整理一整理,重新擺出來。」《儒林外史》第一二回:「又見他帶了一個俠客來,更覺舉動不同於眾,又重新擺出酒來。」

zhòng xīn: cóng tóu kāi shǐ, zài yī cì. < chū kè pāi àn jīng qí> juǎn yī jiǔ: “xiàn shén yǐ bì, jiù jiāng fú wù shōu qù, zhěng lǐ yī zhěng lǐ, zhòng xīn bǎi chū lái.” < rú lín wài shǐ> dì yī èr huí: “yòu jiàn tā dài le yī gè xiá kè lái, gèng jué jǔ dòng bù tóng yú zhòng, yòu zhòng xīn bǎi chū jiǔ lái.”

zhong xin: cong tou kai shi, zai yi ci. < chu ke pai an jing qi> juan yi jiu: "xian shen yi bi, jiu jiang fu wu shou qu, zheng li yi zheng li, zhong xin bai chu lai." < ru lin wai shi> di yi er hui: "you jian ta dai le yi ge xia ke lai, geng jue ju dong bu tong yu zhong, you zhong xin bai chu jiu lai."
