-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** shěn pàn +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb / Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 6 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** To hold a trial; a legal trial or judgment. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **审判 (shěnpàn)** is a serious and formal word used almost exclusively for legal proceedings in a court of law. It can refer to the entire process of a trial (as a noun) or the act of conducting that trial (as a verb). Think of the judge in a black robe, the solemn atmosphere of a courtroom, and the process of weighing evidence to reach a verdict—that entire scene is captured by **审判**. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **审 (shěn):** This character means "to examine," "to investigate," or "to review carefully." It's composed of the roof radical (宀), suggesting a building or official place, and 番 (fān), which contributes the sound. The image is of a careful, thorough examination happening inside an official building, like a courthouse or government office. +
-  * **判 (pàn):** This character means "to judge," "to decide," or "to sentence." It's made of 半 (bàn, "half") on the left and a knife radical (刂) on the right. This powerfully suggests "dividing" or "cutting" something in two—like separating right from wrong, guilt from innocence, or truth from falsehood with a decisive judgment. +
-  * The two characters combine perfectly: **审 (shěn)** is the process of examining the evidence, and **判 (pàn)** is the act of making a final, decisive judgment based on that examination. Together, **审判 (shěnpàn)** covers the entire legal process from examination to verdict. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-**审判 (shěnpàn)** reflects key aspects of the Chinese legal and social framework. Unlike the American ideal of a trial by a jury of one's peers (an adversarial system), the Chinese legal system is primarily an inquisitorial system. This means the judge or a panel of judges plays a much more active role in investigating the facts of the case, questioning witnesses, and seeking the truth. The word **审判** thus carries a strong sense of authoritative investigation and state-led judgment, rather than a contest between two opposing lawyers refereed by a neutral party. +
-Metaphorically, **审判** is used in a very grave and powerful way. The phrase **历史的审判 (lìshǐ de shěnpàn)**—"the judgment of history"—is a profound concept. It implies that even if individuals or regimes escape legal justice in their time, their actions will ultimately be evaluated and judged by future generations. This reflects a deep-seated cultural belief in an ultimate, inescapable moral reckoning, even if it isn't religious in nature. It's a final, impartial verdict delivered by the passage of time itself. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-**审判** is a formal term you'll encounter in specific, serious contexts. +
-  * **In the News and Legal Documents:** This is its most common usage. News reports about criminal cases, civil disputes, or political corruption will always use **审判** to refer to the court trial. You will see it in headlines, legal articles, and official announcements. +
-  * **In Historical and Political Discourse:** As mentioned above, it's used metaphorically to talk about historical or moral judgment. It lends a sense of gravity and finality to the discussion. +
-  * **Formal Connotation:** **审判** is always formal and serious. You would never use it for casual situations. For example, you wouldn't say you are "judging" (审判) someone's new haircut or "holding a trial" for who ate the last cookie. Doing so would sound bizarrely and inappropriately dramatic. +
