着重
着重 30秒で
- 着重 (zhuózhòng) is a formal verb/adverb used to emphasize or stress a specific point, often in business, academic, or official contexts to signal priority.
- It literally means 'applying weight' (着 + 重), suggesting a deliberate and strategic focus on one element within a larger set of ideas or tasks.
- Commonly used in patterns like '着重指出' (emphatically point out) or '着重于' (focus on), it helps structure arguments and guide the audience's attention effectively.
- Unlike the emotional '重视' (to value), 着重 is structural and objective, making it essential for professional communication and high-level Chinese proficiency.
The Chinese verb 着重 (zhuózhòng) is a sophisticated term primarily used to indicate that a speaker or writer is placing special weight or emphasis on a specific point, aspect, or task. In the landscape of Chinese vocabulary, this word functions as a structural anchor in formal communication, signaling to the audience that what follows is of paramount importance. The character 着 (zhuó) in this context means 'to apply' or 'to touch,' while 重 (zhòng) means 'heavy' or 'weight.' Together, they literally translate to 'applying weight' to a topic. Unlike casual words for importance, 着重 suggests a deliberate, strategic choice to highlight one element over others within a broader context.
- Semantic Nuance
- It is less about emotional intensity and more about structural focus. In a business report, you wouldn't just say something is important; you would 着重 (emphasize) the key performance indicators to guide the board's attention.
今天的会议我们将着重讨论市场扩张计划。 (In today's meeting, we will emphasize discussing the market expansion plan.)
People use 着重 in professional, academic, and official settings. It is the language of lecturers, news anchors, and managers. When a professor says they will 着重讲解 (emphasize explaining) a certain theory, students know that this theory is likely to appear on the exam. In written Chinese, it often appears in the introduction or conclusion of an essay to clarify the author's primary thesis. It differs from the synonym 强调 (qiángdiào) in that 着重 often implies a physical or practical allocation of time and resources toward a specific point, whereas 强调 is more about the act of speaking or asserting importance.
- Grammatical Role
- It usually functions as an adverbial modifier before a verb (e.g., 着重指出, 着重说明) or as a verb followed by a prepositional phrase (e.g., 着重于...).
这篇报告着重分析了环境变化对农业的影响。 (This report stresses the analysis of climate change's impact on agriculture.)
In contemporary usage, especially in the era of big data and information overload, 着重 is used to help filter information. In a sea of data, a researcher might say, "We need to 着重看 (focus on looking at) the outliers." This usage helps narrow the scope of inquiry. Furthermore, in government documents (公文), 着重 is a standard term to denote policy priorities. If a document mentions 着重发展 (prioritize developing) high-tech industries, it signals a shift in national investment and attention. For learners, mastering this word transitions your Chinese from basic conversational ability to professional competency.
- Register and Tone
- The tone is objective, serious, and purposeful. It is rarely used in casual banter between friends unless one is being mock-serious or giving specific advice.
在申请大学时,你应该着重突出你的志愿者经历。 (When applying for university, you should emphasize highlighting your volunteer experience.)
医生着重嘱咐病人要按时吃药。 (The doctor emphatically instructed the patient to take medicine on time.)
我们需要着重考虑成本问题。 (We need to lay stress on considering the cost issue.)
The grammatical application of 着重 (zhuózhòng) is versatile but follows specific patterns that distinguish it from its synonyms. Most commonly, it acts as an adverbial phrase placed directly before a verb. This structure, [Subject] + 着重 + [Verb] + [Object], is the standard way to express that an action is being performed with special emphasis. For example, in the phrase 着重介绍 (to introduce with emphasis), the word 着重 tells us that the introduction isn't just a side note, but the main event. This is frequently seen in presentations: "今天我要着重介绍我们的新产品" (Today I want to emphasize the introduction of our new product).
- Pattern 1: Adverbial Use
- [Subject] + 着重 + [Action Verb]. This emphasizes the manner in which the action is performed. Common verbs include: 指出 (point out), 说明 (explain), 强调 (stress), 培养 (cultivate), 发展 (develop).
这篇文章着重描写了主人公的内心世界。 (This article stresses depicting the protagonist's inner world.)
Another common structure involves the preposition 于 (yú). The phrase 着重于 (zhuózhòng yú) means 'to focus on' or 'to lay stress on' a particular noun or noun phrase. This is more common in formal writing and academic contexts. It functions similarly to the English phrase 'concentrate on.' For instance, "该研究着重于青少年心理健康" (The study focuses on adolescent mental health). Here, 着重于 creates a direct link between the subject (the study) and the object of focus (mental health).
- Pattern 2: Prepositional Use
- [Subject] + 着重于 + [Noun/Topic]. This defines the scope of the subject's emphasis. It is often used to define the boundaries of a project or investigation.
我们的训练计划将着重于提高队员的体能。 (Our training plan will focus on improving the players' physical fitness.)
It is important to note that 着重 can also stand alone as a verb in certain contexts, though this is less frequent. Usually, it requires a complement to clarify what is being emphasized. In comparative sentences, you might say "两者相比,我更着重后者" (Comparing the two, I emphasize/value the latter more). This highlights a preference or a prioritization. In the context of teaching, a teacher might tell a student, "这个部分需要着重看" (This part needs to be looked at with emphasis), where 着重 acts as a modifier for the verb 看 (to look/read).
- Comparison with '强调'
- While both mean 'emphasize,' 强调 is often a speech act (saying something loudly or repeatedly), while 着重 implies structural importance or allocation of effort.
在设计新大楼时,建筑师着重考虑了采光问题。 (When designing the new building, the architect stressed considering the lighting issue.)
我们必须着重解决目前面临的资金短缺。 (We must focus on solving the current capital shortage.)
Finally, in the passive voice, though rare, one might see 被着重提及 (be emphatically mentioned). This highlights that the subject was given special attention by someone else. However, the active voice is much more natural and common for 着重. As you advance in Chinese, using 着重 will allow you to structure your arguments more clearly, showing that you have a hierarchy of ideas rather than just a list of facts.
If you are watching the nightly news in China (like CCTV's Xinwen Lianbo), you will hear 着重 (zhuózhòng) constantly. It is a staple of political discourse. Anchors use it when summarizing government work reports to indicate which sectors the state is prioritizing. For example, "政府报告着重提到了民生问题" (The government report emphasized people's livelihood issues). In this context, it conveys a sense of official direction and serious intent. It is the language of policy-making and high-level strategy.
- Academic Lectures
- Professors use 着重 to guide their students through complex material. You will hear: "在接下来的几节课里,我们将着重研究唐朝的历史" (In the next few lessons, we will focus on studying the history of the Tang Dynasty).
今天的讲座将着重探讨人工智能的伦理问题。 (Today's lecture will emphasize exploring the ethical issues of AI.)
In a corporate environment, 着重 is used during project briefings and annual reviews. A CEO might say, "今年我们的工作要着重放在提高服务质量上" (This year, our work should emphasize improving service quality). It helps align the team's efforts. If you are in a meeting and your Chinese colleague uses this word, pay close attention—they are telling you what the 'must-haves' are versus the 'nice-to-haves.' It is a linguistic marker of priority.
- Legal and Formal Documents
- In contracts or legal opinions, 着重 identifies the specific clauses or regulations that are most relevant to a case. It ensures there is no ambiguity about what is being prioritized.
法官在判决中着重分析了被告的动机。 (The judge emphasized analyzing the defendant's motive in the verdict.)
Furthermore, in the context of self-improvement or coaching, a mentor might say, "你需要着重练习你的发音" (You need to emphasize practicing your pronunciation). Here, it serves as a constructive directive. It is also common in museum audio guides or travel documentaries, where the narrator will 着重介绍 (specifically emphasize introducing) a particular artifact or scenic spot. In all these scenarios, 着重 acts as a high-level organizational tool, helping the listener navigate through a large amount of information to find the core message.
- News Reporting
- Journalists use it to summarize the key takeaways from an interview or an event, focusing the reader's attention on the most impactful statements.
晚间新闻着重报道了这次自然灾害的救援情况。 (The evening news emphasized reporting the rescue situation of this natural disaster.)
在这次外交访问中,双方着重就贸易合作交换了意见。 (During this diplomatic visit, both sides emphasized exchanging views on trade cooperation.)
One of the most frequent errors learners make is confusing 着重 (zhuózhòng) with 重视 (zhòngshì). While both involve the character for 'heavy' (重), they function differently. 重视 means 'to value' or 'to attach importance to' something, often expressing an attitude or a feeling. For instance, "我非常重视这段友谊" (I value this friendship very much). You cannot use 着重 here because 着重 is about the action of placing emphasis, not the internal feeling of valuing something. Using 着重 in emotional contexts sounds robotic and unnatural.
- Mistake: Confusing with '重视'
- Incorrect: 我着重我的家人。 (I emphasize my family.)
Correct: 我很重视我的家人。 (I value my family.)
虽然他很重视工作,但在报告中他着重分析了失败的原因。 (Although he values work, in the report he emphasized analyzing the reasons for failure.)
Another common mistake is the over-reliance on 着重 when 强调 (qiángdiào) would be more appropriate. 强调 is a more general word for 'emphasize' and can be used for both verbal stress and conceptual focus. 着重 is more about the distribution of weight. If you are just saying something loudly to make sure people hear it, use 强调. If you are dedicating a whole chapter of a book to a specific topic, 着重 is the better choice. Learners often use 着重 in speech where 强调 would sound more natural.
- Mistake: Incorrect Preposition
- Learners often forget the '于' (yú) when using 着重 with a noun. It should be '着重于...' not just '着重...'.
错误:我们的讨论着重环境问题。
正确:我们的讨论着重于环境问题。 (Our discussion focused on environmental issues.)
Finally, some learners confuse 着重 with 重点 (zhòngdiǎn). 重点 is a noun meaning 'the main point' or 'key focus.' While they are related, they are not interchangeable. You can say "这是重点" (This is the main point), but you cannot say "这是着重." Conversely, you say "我们要着重讨论" (We need to emphasize discussing), but "我们要重点讨论" is also acceptable because 重点 can sometimes act as an adverb, though 着重 sounds more formal and precise in this role.
- Mistake: Word Class Confusion
- Using 着重 as a noun is a common error. Always use it as a verb or adverb.
错误:这是今天的着重。
正确:这是今天的重点。 (This is today's key focus.)
你应该着重处理紧急的事情。 (You should emphasize handling urgent matters.)
In Chinese, there are several words that translate to 'emphasize' or 'focus,' and choosing the right one is key to sounding like a native speaker. 着重 (zhuózhòng) is your go-to for structural emphasis in formal contexts. However, let's look at the alternatives and see how they differ in register and usage. The most common alternative is 强调 (qiángdiào). While 着重 implies putting weight on something, 强调 literally means 'strong tone.' It is used when you want to stress the importance of a fact, a rule, or an opinion through speech or explicit statement.
- 着重 vs. 强调
- Use 着重 for allocation of attention/resources (e.g., 着重发展). Use 强调 for verbal assertion (e.g., 强调纪律).
老师强调了考试的时间,并着重讲解了难点。 (The teacher stressed the exam time and focused on explaining the difficult points.)
Another similar word is 侧重 (cèzhòng). The character 侧 (cè) means 'side.' Therefore, 侧重 implies a tilt or a preference for one side over another. It is used when there are two or more options, and you are choosing to focus more on one. 着重 is more absolute—it just says 'this is heavy/important' without necessarily comparing it to something else, though the implication of priority is often there. If a course is '侧重理论' (tilts toward theory), it implies it spends less time on practice.
- 着重 vs. 侧重
- 着重 is about the intensity of focus. 侧重 is about the distribution of focus between alternatives.
这本教材侧重于口语练习,而那本着重于语法分析。 (This textbook leans toward speaking practice, while that one emphasizes grammar analysis.)
突出 (tūchū) is another alternative, meaning 'to stand out' or 'to make prominent.' It is more visual or descriptive. If you '突出' a theme in a painting, you make it visually obvious. If you '着重' a theme in a discussion, you talk about it more. Lastly, 重视 (zhòngshì), as discussed before, is about the attitude of valuing something. Use 重视 when talking about feelings, relationships, or general principles of importance.
- Other Alternatives
- 力求 (lìqiú) - strive to; 务必 (wùbì) - must; 重点 (zhòngdiǎn) - key point (noun).
为了突出品牌形象,公司着重设计了标志。 (To make prominent the brand image, the company focused on designing the logo.)
领导重视人才培养,因此着重拨款给培训部。 (The leader values talent cultivation, so they specifically allocated funds to the training department.)
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The character '着' is one of the most versatile in Chinese, with at least four different pronunciations (zhe, zhuó, zháo, zhāo). In '着重,' it uses its most formal and ancient pronunciation, 'zhuó.'
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing 'zhuó' as 'zuó' (missing the retroflex 'h').
- Using the 1st tone for 'zhòng' instead of the 4th tone.
- Confusing 'zhuó' with 'zháo' (another pronunciation for the same character).
- Failing to make the 'ng' sound clear in 'zhòng'.
- Pronouncing 'uo' as a simple 'o' sound.
難易度
Common in news and books, easy to recognize once the characters are known.
Requires understanding of formal register and correct prepositional use (于).
Used in presentations; sounds too formal for casual daily chat.
Clearly articulated in formal speeches and broadcasts.

It is used in both, but it is more frequent in formal writing and prepared speeches than in spontaneous conversation.
Usually, yes, because you emphasize things that are important. However, you can '着重分析错误' (emphasize analyzing mistakes), which is a serious but necessary action.

Summary
The word <span class='font-bold'>着重 (zhuózhòng)</span> is your 'priority marker.' Use it when you want to signal that among many things, one specific thing deserves the most attention or effort. Example: <span class='italic'>我们要着重讨论成本问题</span> (We must emphasize discussing the cost issue).
- 着重 (zhuózhòng) is a formal verb/adverb used to emphasize or stress a specific point, often in business, academic, or official contexts to signal priority.
- It literally means 'applying weight' (着 + 重), suggesting a deliberate and strategic focus on one element within a larger set of ideas or tasks.
- Commonly used in patterns like '着重指出' (emphatically point out) or '着重于' (focus on), it helps structure arguments and guide the audience's attention effectively.
- Unlike the emotional '重视' (to value), 着重 is structural and objective, making it essential for professional communication and high-level Chinese proficiency.
Adverbial Position
Always place '着重' before the verb it modifies. For example, '着重介绍' (emphasize introducing).
Spotting the Main Idea
In a reading test, the sentence containing '着重' is often the key to the author's main argument.
Professional Tone
Use '着重' in business emails to sound more professional when highlighting your priorities.
Weight of Meaning
Remember '重' means heavy. You are adding 'weight' to your words when you use '着重'.
