隐瞒 30秒で
- To hide facts or truths intentionally.
- Often implies deception or omission of information.
- Used for secrets, mistakes, or sensitive data.
- Distinguished from hiding physical objects.
- Definition
- To conceal; to hide something, often intentionally, to prevent others from knowing the truth or a fact.
- Common Scenarios
- This word is used when someone deliberately keeps information secret. It can be about personal matters, official secrets, or even minor things one doesn't want others to discover. For example, someone might hide their true feelings, a mistake they made, or a surprise for someone else. It often implies a sense of responsibility or a desire to avoid consequences or judgment. The act of hiding can range from a simple omission of information to active deception.
- Nuance
- While '隐瞒' implies hiding something, it often suggests a more deliberate and potentially secretive action compared to simply 'hiding' an object. It carries a connotation of withholding information that others might expect to know. The reasons for concealment can vary widely, from protecting oneself or others to maintaining privacy or even for malicious purposes. Understanding the context is key to grasping the full implication of using this word.

- Structure
- The verb '隐瞒' (yǐnmán) is typically followed by the object that is being concealed. The object can be a noun, a noun phrase, or even a clause describing the hidden information or fact.
- Common Patterns
- Subject + 隐瞒 + Object (What is hidden)

警方怀疑他 隐瞒 了重要线索。
她 隐瞒 了自己的真实年龄。

- Adding Context
- You can add reasons or consequences using phrases like '因为' (because), '所以' (so), '为了' (in order to), etc. The particle '了' (le) is often used after '隐瞒' to indicate the completion of the action of concealing.
他 隐瞒 了实情，因为他害怕惩罚。
为了保护公司声誉，经理 隐瞒 了部分数据。
- Everyday Conversations
- You'll hear '隐瞒' in discussions about relationships, family secrets, or personal histories. For example, friends might talk about someone who '隐瞒' their past or a secret they've been keeping. It's common in gossip or when discussing why someone might be acting strangely.
- News and Media
- News reports frequently use '隐瞒' when discussing scandals, corporate cover-ups, or political controversies. For instance, a headline might read '公司 隐瞒 财务状况' (Company conceals financial status) or '官员 隐瞒 腐败事实' (Officials conceal corruption facts).
- Literature and Drama
- In novels, movies, and TV shows, '隐瞒' is a staple for creating plot twists and character development. Characters often '隐瞒' their true identities, motives, or past actions to drive the narrative. It's a key word for suspense and intrigue.
- Legal and Official Contexts
- In more formal settings, like courtrooms or official investigations, '隐瞒' can refer to the act of withholding evidence or information from authorities. This carries serious implications and legal consequences.
新闻报道：政府 隐瞒 了灾难的真实情况。
电视剧里，男主角 隐瞒 了自己的身份。
- Confusing with '藏' (cáng - to hide object)
- A common mistake is to use '隐瞒' when referring to hiding a physical object. '隐瞒' is specifically for hiding information, facts, truths, or feelings. For physical objects, the verb '藏' (cáng) is more appropriate. For example, you '藏' a toy, but you '隐瞒' a secret.
- Incorrect Object
- Learners might incorrectly use '隐瞒' with an object that cannot be concealed, such as an abstract concept that is not information or a fact. Ensure the object of '隐瞒' is something that can be kept secret or withheld.
- Omission of '了' (le)
- While not always strictly incorrect depending on context, the particle '了' (le) is very frequently used after '隐瞒' to indicate that the action of concealing has been completed. Omitting it might sound unnatural in many common sentences where the act of hiding has already occurred.
- Overuse in Minor Situations
- '隐瞒' often carries a sense of seriousness or deliberate deception. Using it for very minor, unintentional omissions might be an overstatement. For casual, unintentional forgetfulness, other phrases might be more suitable.
Incorrect: 他 隐瞒 了玩具。
Correct: 他 藏 了玩具。
Incorrect: 她 隐瞒 了她的快乐。
Correct: 她 隐瞒 了她犯的错误。
- 遮掩 (zhēyǎn)
- Meaning: To cover up; to disguise. Usage: Similar to '隐瞒' but can also refer to physically covering something up, or metaphorically covering up a mistake or wrongdoing. It often implies trying to hide something from being seen or known.
- Example: 他试图 遮掩 自己的过错，但最终被揭穿了。(He tried to cover up his mistakes, but was eventually exposed.)
- 隐藏 (yǐncáng)
- Meaning: To hide; to conceal. Usage: '隐藏' is a more general term for hiding. It can be used for both physical objects and abstract things like information. It's often less about deliberate deception and more about simply being out of sight or unknown.
- Example: 秘密 隐藏 在他的心里。(The secret was hidden in his heart.)
- 掩饰 (yǎnshì)
- Meaning: To disguise; to cover up; to gloss over. Usage: '掩饰' often implies trying to hide something negative, like emotions, faults, or mistakes, by putting on a false appearance or making excuses. It's about creating a facade.
- Example: 她 掩饰 了自己的悲伤，强颜欢笑。(She disguised her sadness and forced a smile.)
- 保密 (bǎomì)
- Meaning: To keep secret; to maintain confidentiality. Usage: This is about the act of keeping information confidential, often in a professional or official capacity. It's about preventing disclosure rather than actively hiding something that has already been done or is happening.
- Example: 请 保密 这项计划。(Please keep this plan confidential.)

'隐' generally means hidden, secret, or concealed, often referring to something not easily seen or known. '瞒' specifically means to hide something from someone, to deceive them by keeping information from them. Together, they form a strong term for deliberately hiding facts or truths.
元の意味： '隐' originally depicted a person hiding behind a mountain, signifying concealment. '瞒' is often associated with deceiving or hiding the truth from others.
Sino-Tibetan文化的な背景
The act of '隐瞒' can be a sensitive topic, as it often involves dishonesty or a lack of transparency. Depending on the context and intent, it can range from a minor social white lie to serious deception with significant consequences. Discussions about '隐瞒' in a cultural context should be nuanced, acknowledging both the potential for preserving harmony and the risks of eroding trust.
In English, 'to conceal', 'to hide', 'to keep secret', 'to cover up', and 'to disguise' are all related concepts. 'Conceal' is often the closest direct translation in a formal context.

よくある質問
10 問'隐藏' (yǐncáng) is a more general term for hiding, which can apply to both physical objects and abstract concepts. For example, you can '隐藏' a treasure or '隐藏' your emotions. '隐瞒' (yǐnmán), on the other hand, specifically refers to concealing facts, truths, or information, often with a deliberate intention to deceive or prevent others from knowing. You '隐瞒' a secret or '隐瞒' the truth, but you wouldn't typically '隐瞒' a physical object.
'隐瞒' is often used negatively when it involves deception, dishonesty, or avoiding responsibility. For example, a company might '隐瞒' financial problems to avoid scrutiny, or a person might '隐瞒' their involvement in a crime. The negative connotation comes from the act of withholding truth, which can lead to harm or distrust.
Yes, '隐瞒' can be used in neutral or even positive ways, primarily when concealing something for a surprise or to protect someone's feelings. For instance, someone might '隐瞒' a surprise party or '隐瞒' bad news temporarily to avoid causing distress. In these cases, the intention is not malicious, but rather to create a positive outcome or prevent immediate hurt.
The typical objects of '隐瞒' are intangible things like facts, truths, information, secrets, feelings, intentions, or reasons. For example: 事实 (facts), 真相 (truth), 信息 (information), 秘密 (secret), 感受 (feelings), 意图 (intentions), 原因 (reasons). You conceal 'the truth', not 'a book'.
No, '了' (le) is not always used with '隐瞒', but it is very common, especially when referring to a completed action of concealing. For example, '他 隐瞒了 他的错误' (He concealed his mistake) indicates the action is done. However, in continuous actions or states, '了' might be omitted or replaced by other aspect markers, like '他一直在 隐瞒 着' (He has been concealing).
'隐瞒' is a key component of deception. Deception involves misleading someone, and '隐瞒' is one of the primary ways to do this – by withholding crucial information that would otherwise alter the other person's understanding or decision. So, while not all '隐瞒' is deception (e.g., hiding a surprise), it is often a tool used in deception.
Consequences can range from loss of trust and damaged relationships to legal penalties and reputational damage. If someone discovers that important information was '隐瞒'ed, especially when it was crucial for their decisions or well-being, it can lead to significant negative outcomes.
Certainly. A company might '隐瞒' the true extent of a product's defects from consumers to avoid a costly recall, or a politician might '隐瞒' information about a controversial policy to gain public support. In both cases, the act of '隐瞒' has ethical and potentially legal implications.
While both involve withholding information, '隐瞒' often carries a stronger connotation of deliberate action to prevent knowledge, sometimes with an intent to deceive or avoid consequences. 'Keeping a secret' can be more passive or simply about maintaining privacy. However, in many contexts, they are used interchangeably.
Good antonyms for '隐瞒' include '公开' (gōngkāi - to make public, to disclose), '坦白' (tǎnbái - to confess, to be frank), and '揭露' (jiēlù - to expose, to reveal). These words signify bringing hidden information to light.

Distinguish from '隐藏'
Remember that '隐瞒' is specifically for hiding facts, truths, or information, often with intent. '隐藏' is more general and can include hiding physical objects or oneself. Think: you '隐瞒' a lie, you '隐藏' yourself.
Use '了' for Completion
The particle '了' (le) is frequently used after '隐瞒' to indicate that the act of concealing has been completed. For example: 他 隐瞒了 真相。(He concealed the truth.)
Consider the Intent
The meaning and impact of '隐瞒' heavily depend on the intent. Is it to deceive maliciously, to protect someone, or to preserve harmony? Understanding the 'why' behind the concealment is crucial.
