    },
    "en": {
        "vn": "Tiếng Anh",
        "en": "English"
    },
    ...

    {
        "vn": "bị",
        "pos": "v",
        "definition": {
            "en": "Unfavorable passive voice",
            "zh": "被"
        },
        "examples": [
            {
                "text": {
                    "vn": "bị phạt",
                    "en": "to be fined/punished",

                    "zh": "..."
                }

                    "zh": "..."
                }
