Tooth

Whenever 不 is before another fourth tone character, it becomes a second tone. 
Take for example, 不错 bùcuò, which means not bad. Since 错 is fourth tone, we read it as búcuò.

Erschreckende Zahlen:
USA: Mehr als 50 Schusswaffentote pro Tag

Das Ausmaß an Waffengewalt in den USA ist beispiellos. 2020 wurden im Schnitt mehr als 50 Menschen erschossen - täglich. Auch das Massaker in Texas wird die Situation kaum ändern. In keinem anderen Land auf der Welt gibt es mehr Waffen und mehr Waffengewalt. Amokläufe und Schießereien gehören zum Alltag.

可怕的数字：
美国：每天有超过 50 人死于枪击事件

美国的枪支暴力程度是前所未有的。2020 年，平均每天有 50 多人被枪杀。即使是德克萨斯州的大屠杀也很难改变这种情况。世界上没有其他国家拥有更多的枪支和更多的枪支暴力。暴行和枪击是日常生活的一部分。
