Defining Terms: 所谓…是指, 简称, 定义为

A Chinese online encyclopedia is looking for short entries written by learners. Write an entry (200–400 characters) defining a concept from your field, such as 碳足迹 (carbon footprint), 零工经济 (the gig economy) or 职业倦怠 (burnout). Define it, give another name for it, distinguish it from a related term, and give an example.

  • 所谓…是指… or …被定义为… for the definition
  • 又称, 简称 or 也叫 for other names, and 可分为 for types
  • A distinction from a related term (与…不同, 而…则…)
  • An example (以…为例) in a neutral academic register

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
