Hi Lawrence, let me explain:

Chéng wéi = become (can’t plus adjective after)

dāng = work as (can’t plus adjective after)

“Tǎo yàn” means disgusting and not popular with other people. “Hèn” is to hate

Here are the examples of “wèi” and “zhī jiān”

Wǒ wèi Benny gōng zuò = I work for Benny

Wǒ de jiā zài KFC and Burger King zhī jiān = My home is in between KFC and Burger King

Benny
