Container measures: 瓶/盒/袋/杯
容量量词用容器名词来计量液体、固体食品等。
四个核心容量量词：
| 量词 | 读音 | 常见搭配 |
|------|------|----------|
| 瓶 | píng | 一瓶水/啤酒/饮料 |
| 盒 | hé | 一盒饼干/巧克力/牛奶 |
| 袋 | dài | 一袋米/面粉/零食 |
| 杯 | bēi | 一杯茶/咖啡/果汁 |
结构: 数量 + 容量量词 + (的) + 名词
加 的 时更强调容器本身: 一杯的量 vs 一杯茶 (both fine, 的 slightly formal).
❌ 一个水 (个 is wrong for water)
✅ 一瓶水 / 一杯水
