-  * **Summary:** Learn how to say "trophy" in Chinese with the word **奖杯 (jiǎngbēi)**. This page provides a complete guide to its meaning, character breakdown, and cultural significance. Discover how **奖杯** is used in sports, academics, and even modern video games in China, and learn the crucial difference between a trophy (奖杯), a medal (奖牌), and an award certificate (奖状). +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** jiǎng bēi +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 4 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** A cup or other decorative object awarded as a prize for a victory or achievement. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **奖杯 (jiǎngbēi)** is the direct Chinese equivalent of the English word "trophy" or "award cup." It refers to the physical object you receive for winning a competition, excelling in a field, or achieving a significant goal. It's a tangible symbol of success, honor, and recognition. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **奖 (jiǎng):** This character means "award," "prize," or "to reward." Think of it as the core concept of being given something for an accomplishment. +
-  * **杯 (bēi):** This character means "cup" or "glass." It's composed of the wood radical `木 (mù)` on the left and a phonetic component `不 (bù)` on the right, suggesting an early type of cup perhaps made from wood. +
-  * When combined, the meaning is incredibly literal: **奖 (award) + 杯 (cup) = 奖杯 (award cup, or trophy)**. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-In Chinese culture, as in the West, a **奖杯 (jiǎngbēi)** is a powerful symbol of achievement and excellence. However, its significance is often amplified by collective cultural values. +
-While a trophy in the West is frequently seen as a mark of individual prowess, in China, winning a **奖杯** often brings **荣誉 (róngyù - honor)** not just to the individual, but to their entire support system: their family, their school, their company, and even their hometown. This reflects a more collectivist mindset where individual success is a source of shared pride and enhances the "face" or social standing (**面子 - miànzi**) of the group. +
-For example, a student winning a national science olympiad trophy is a monumental achievement for their high school. The school will likely display the **奖杯** prominently and celebrate the student's victory as a reflection of the school's high educational standards. This shared sense of accomplishment is a key cultural nuance. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-The term **奖杯 (jiǎngbēi)** is used in many of the same contexts as "trophy" in English. It is a common and straightforward term. +
-  * **Sports and Competitions:** This is the most common usage. Teams and individuals win a **奖杯** for placing first in a tournament or league. +
-  * **Academics:** Students can win a **奖杯** in a debate tournament, math competition, or robotics challenge. +
-  * **Corporate/Workplace:** Companies may award a **奖杯** for "Salesperson of the Year" or to a team that successfully completes a major project. +
-  * **Video Games:** The term has been fully adopted by the gaming community. On platforms like PlayStation, digital achievements are literally called **奖杯 (jiǎngbēi)**. Earning a "platinum trophy" is a sign of a dedicated gamer. +
-The connotation is always positive, and it is used in both formal (award ceremonies) and informal (talking about a game) settings. +
