-====== yèwù: 业务 - Business, Service, Professional Work ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +
-  * **Keywords:** yewu, 业务, Chinese for business, business operations, professional service, what is yewu, yewu meaning, Chinese business vocabulary, bànlǐ yèwù, 业务范围 +
-  * **Summary:** A cornerstone of Chinese business vocabulary, **业务 (yèwù)** refers to the specific professional work, services, or core operations of a company or an individual. More precise than the English "business," `yèwù` describes the actual *function* or *scope of activities*—from a bank's financial services to a software company's development projects. Understanding `yèwù` is essential for navigating any professional or service-oriented environment in China. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** yèwù +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 4 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** A specific area of business, a professional service, or tasks related to one's job. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** Think of `业务` not as the company itself, but as //what the company does//. It's the "line of work," the "scope of operations," or the "professional services offered." For an individual, it refers to their specific duties and professional responsibilities. If a company is a machine, its `业务` are its specific functions and outputs. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **业 (yè):** This character originally depicted a stand for hanging instruments. It has evolved to mean "occupation," "profession," "trade," or "industry." It points to a formal field of work. +
-  * **务 (wù):** This character relates to "affairs," "duties," or "matters." It's the same `务` found in `任务 (rènwù)`, meaning "task." +
-  * **Combined Meaning:** The two characters literally combine to mean "professional duties" or "industry affairs." This perfectly captures the essence of `业务` as the specific tasks and functions within a professional setting. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-  * `业务` reflects a pragmatic and function-oriented approach to work in Chinese culture. While Western business culture might often focus on abstract branding or "mission statements," the term `业务` brings the conversation back to the concrete: What do you //do//? What service do you //provide//? +
-  * **Contrast with "Business":** In English, "business" is a very broad term. It can mean a company ("I own a business"), a transaction ("We did some business"), or commerce in general ("I'm in the business of selling cars"). `业务` is much more specific. It almost never refers to the company itself (that's `公司 gōngsī`). Instead, it refers to the company's //operational scope//. For example, a restaurant's `业务` is "catering services" (餐饮服务), not the restaurant itself. +
-  * This focus on functional competence is crucial. Being "good at your `业务`" (`业务能力强 yèwù nénglì qiáng`) is a high form of praise, indicating practical skill and expertise in one's specific professional domain. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-  * **Corporate and Company Context:** This is the most common usage. Companies define their "business scope" (`业务范围 yèwù fànwéi`), discuss their "main business" (`主营业务 zhǔyíng yèwù`), or plan to launch a "new business line" (`新业务 xīn yèwù`). +
-  * **Service Counters (Banks, Telecom, Government):** When you approach a service window, the first question you'll likely hear is, "请问您要办理什么**业务**?" (Qǐngwèn nín yào bànlǐ shénme yèwù?), meaning, "Excuse me, what service would you like to handle?" Here, `业务` refers to any transaction or service offered. +
-  * **Individual Performance:** A manager might ask an employee about the progress of their `业务`, referring to their assigned tasks, projects, or sales targets. Someone who is `业务熟练 (yèwù shúliàn)` is "proficient and skilled at their job." +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **`业务 (yèwù)` vs. `生意 (shēngyi)`:** This is a critical distinction for learners. +
-    * **`生意 (shēngyi)`:** Refers to a specific deal, trade, or the act of commerce, often on a smaller scale. You `做生意 (zuò shēngyi)` - "do business." It has a transactional feel. Example: "他家的小饭馆**生意**很好" (His family's small restaurant does good business). +
-    * **`业务 (yèwù)`:** Refers to formal, professional operations or services, usually within a larger company structure. You `办理业务 (bànlǐ yèwù)` - "handle a service." It has a functional, corporate feel. +
-    * **Mistake:** You wouldn't say a street vendor has good `业务`. You'd say they have good `生意`. +
-  * **`业务 (yèwù)` vs. `工作 (gōngzuò)`:** +
-    * **`工作 (gōngzuò)`:** Means "job" or "work" in a general sense. It's your position of employment. Example: "我的**工作**是老师" (My job is a teacher). +
-    * **`业务 (yèwù)`:** Is the specific //content// or //duties// of your `工作`. A teacher's `业务` might include teaching, grading, and parent communication. +
-    * **Mistake:** You can't ask someone "What is your `业务`?" to mean "What is your job?". You must ask "你做什么**工作**?" (Nǐ zuò shénme gōngzuò?). +
-  * **False Friend Alert: "Business"** +
-    * Do not use `业务` to mean "a company." +
-    * **Incorrect:** 我开了一个新**业务**。 (Wǒ kāi le yí ge xīn yèwù.) +
