Hi Abbeycheng and welcome to englisch-hilfen!

Not knowing whether you speak any German or not, it's not that easy to explain the difference.

Do these examples help?

Even though I have no clue of how to explain the difference in Chinese, I don't want to leave your question unanswered.

Even if I had a little knowledge of Chinese, it would never be enough to explain the difference to you in your language.

Here comes a nice little definition in English:
