The Chinese word 办公 (bàngōng) is a verb that means 'to handle official business' or 'to work.'
It specifically refers to the act of working in an office setting or performing duties related to one's job.
You can use it when talking about where you work or what you do for a living.
For example, if you say '我在办公室办公,' you are saying 'I am working in the office.'
When using 办公, you're talking about performing official duties, often in an office setting. It's a formal way to say 'to work' or 'to handle business' and is commonly seen in professional contexts. For instance, you might hear about someone 办公 in their office. It emphasizes the administrative or formal aspect of working rather than just the act of labor.
§ Understanding 办公 (bàngōng)
The Chinese word 办公 (bàngōng) is a verb that means "to handle official business" or "to work." It's commonly used to talk about working in an office setting or performing work-related tasks. It's a very practical word that you'll hear and use often in professional and everyday conversations in Chinese.
- DEFINITION

§ Basic Sentence Structure with 办公 (bàngōng)
The simplest way to use 办公 is as a direct verb. The subject performs the action of working or handling business.
他正在办公。
Tā zhèngzài bàngōng.
He is currently working.
我们今天下午要办公。
Wǒmen jīntiān xiàwǔ yào bàngōng.
We need to work this afternoon.
§ Specifying Location with 在 (zài)
To say *where* someone is working, you'll use the preposition 在 (zài) followed by the location. The structure is: Subject + 在 (zài) + Location + 办公 (bàngōng).

§ Expressing Duration or Frequency
To talk about how long or how often someone works, you'll place the time expression after 办公. However, because 办公 is a verb-object compound, you often need to reduplicate the verb or use a measure word for duration.
- Duration with Verb Reduplication: Subject + 办公 + (了) + 一会儿 (yīhuìr) / 一段时间 (yīduàn shíjiān)
他办公了一会儿。
Tā bàngōng le yīhuìr.

Wǒ měitiān bàngōng bā gè xiǎoshí.
I work eight hours every day.
§ 办公 as a Noun Adjunct
Sometimes 办公 can be used before another noun to describe its function. In this case, it acts like an adjective, modifying the following noun, often implying it's something *for working* or *related to work*.
办公室 (bàngōngshì)
Office (literally, "work-handling room")
办公用品 (bàngōng yòngpǐn)
Office supplies (literally, "work-handling supplies")
§ Summary of Usage
In summary, 办公 (bàngōng) is a versatile verb. Keep these points in mind:
- Use it as a direct verb to mean "to work" or "to handle business."
- Use 在 (zài) + location *before* 办公 to specify where the work is done.

办公 (bàngōng) is a versatile verb in Chinese that literally means 'to handle official business.' However, its usage extends to a broader sense of 'to work' or 'to be on duty,' especially when referring to office-related tasks or working in an office environment.
You'll often hear it in phrases like 在办公室办公 (zài bàngōngshì bàngōng) which means 'to work in the office,' or 办公时间 (bàngōng shíjiān) for 'office hours.' It implies performing professional duties, whether it's dealing with documents, attending meetings, or generally carrying out one's job responsibilities.
A common mistake is to overuse 办公 for any instance of 'working.' While it can mean 'to work,' it specifically carries the nuance of office work or official duties. For more general 'to work' in the sense of having a job or performing labor, 工作 (gōngzuò) is more appropriate.
For example, if you want to say 'I work at a restaurant,' you would say 我在餐馆工作 (wǒ zài cānguǎn gōngzuò), not 我在餐馆办公 (wǒ zài cānguǎn bàngōng), unless you're specifically managing the restaurant's administrative tasks from an office within it.
Another point to remember is that 办公 is a verb. If you need the noun 'office' itself, use 办公室 (bàngōngshì).
