-====== pànjué: 判决 - Judgment, Verdict, Sentence ====== +

-  * **Summary:** Learn the meaning and use of **判决 (pànjué)**, a core term in the Chinese legal system. This page explains what **判决** is—a court's formal judgment, verdict, or sentence—and how it differs from a simple "decision." Discover its cultural weight, see practical example sentences, and understand how to use this important HSK 6 word correctly when discussing legal matters in Chinese. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** pànjué +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Noun, Verb +
-  * **HSK Level:** 6 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** A court of law's formal judgment, verdict, or sentence. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **判决 (pànjué)** is the official, final decision handed down by a judge or court at the end of a legal trial. It's a heavy, formal word that signifies the conclusion of a legal dispute and carries the full authority of the state. Think of a judge striking a gavel and announcing the outcome of a case—that's a **判决**. It's not a word you use for everyday choices, but one reserved for the serious business of the justice system. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **判 (pàn):** This character is composed of 半 (bàn), meaning "half," and the radical for knife (刂). The original imagery is of using a knife to split something in two, which extends to the meaning of "to distinguish," "to discern," or "to judge" between two sides (e.g., right and wrong). +
-  * **决 (jué):** This character means "to decide" or "to determine." The water radical (氵) on the left hints at its original meaning, which related to a bursting dike—a decisive, powerful, and irreversible event. +
-  * Together, **判 (to judge) + 决 (to decide)** creates **判决 (pànjué)**, a "decisive judgment." The combination powerfully conveys the finality and authority of a court's ruling. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-In China, the legal system is seen as a direct extension of state authority. Therefore, a **判决 (pànjué)** is not just a resolution between two parties; it is a declaration from the state itself. It carries immense weight and is generally expected to be respected as the final word on a matter. +
-A useful comparison for Western learners is the difference in the role of a jury. In the American legal system, a "verdict" is often delivered by a jury of one's peers, reflecting a community-based judgment. In China, the **判决** is issued by a professional judge or a panel of judges, who represent the official legal apparatus of the country. This makes the concept of **判决** feel more top-down and authoritative. +
-Furthermore, traditional Chinese culture often prioritizes harmony and mediation (调解 - tiáojiě) over direct confrontation. Taking a dispute to court is often seen as a last resort, a sign that relationships have completely broken down. Therefore, to reach the stage of a **判决** means the situation is extremely serious and a formal, binding resolution is unavoidable. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-**判决 (pànjué)** is used almost exclusively in formal, legal contexts. +
-  * **In the News and Legal Documents:** You will constantly see this word in news reports about court cases, legal analyses, and especially in the official document itself, the **判决书 (pànjué shū)**, or "written judgment." +
-  * **As a Noun or Verb:** It can function as a noun ("the verdict") or a verb ("to rule" or "to sentence"). +
-      * Noun: 我们在等法院的**判决**。 (Wǒmen zài děng fǎyuàn de pànjué.) - We are waiting for the court's judgment. +
-      * Verb: 法官**判决**他有罪。 (Fǎguān pànjué tā yǒuzuì.) - The judge ruled him guilty. +
-  * **Formality:** This term is highly formal. Using it for a non-legal decision would sound overly dramatic or even comical. For deciding what to eat, you would use **决定 (juédìng)**. +
-===== Example Sentences ===== +
-  * **Example 1:** +
-    * 法院下达了最终**判决**。 +
-    * Pinyin: Fǎyuàn xiàdá le zuìzhōng **pànjué**. +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **判决 (pànjué) vs. 决定 (juédìng):** This is the most critical distinction for learners. **决定 (juédìng)** means "to decide" or "a decision" in a general sense. **判决** is strictly a legal judgment. +
-    * Correct: 我**决定**今天晚上吃米饭。(Wǒ juédìng jīntiān wǎnshàng chī mǐfàn.) - I decided to eat rice tonight. +
-    * **Incorrect:** 我**判决**今天晚上吃米饭。(Wǒ pànjué jīntiān wǎnshàng chī mǐfàn.) - This is wrong and sounds absurd, like you are a judge sentencing yourself to eat rice. +
-  * **判决 (pànjué) vs. 审判 (shěnpàn):** Don't confuse the result with the process. +
-    * **审判 (shěnpàn)** is the trial itself—the entire process of hearing evidence and arguments in court. +
-    * **判决 (pànjué)** is the *outcome* or *result* of the trial. +
-    * Analogy: The **审判 (trial)** is the whole movie; the **判决 (verdict)** is the ending. +
-  * **Not for Personal "Judgment":** In English, you can say "In my judgment, he is not trustworthy." You cannot use **判决** this way. For a personal opinion or judgment, you would use words like **看法 (kànfǎ - point of view)**, **意见 (yìjiàn - opinion)**, or the verb **认为 (rènwéi - to think/believe)**. +
