公布

gong bu

When you want to share important news or information with many people, you can use 公布 (gōngbù). Think of it like a public announcement. It's often used when something official is being shared, like a new rule or a result. For example, a school might 公布 the test results, or a company might 公布 its new plan. It’s about making something known to the general public.

When using 公布, remember it's about making information known to a wide audience. Think official statements, results, or decisions. It often implies a formal announcement.

公布 in 30 Seconds

  • formally announce
  • make public
  • publish information

Alright, let's talk about 公布 (gōngbù). You've probably seen this word around, and it's a good one to know because it pops up in a lot of practical situations. It means 'to announce' or 'to make public.' Think about when information needs to be officially released. That's when 公布 comes in handy.

DEFINITION
announce; make public

So, where are you actually going to hear or read this word? Let's break it down by common scenarios.

§ At Work: Company Announcements

In a work setting, 公布 is super common. Companies are always announcing things, right? New policies, financial results, promotions, you name it. It's about official communication to employees or the public.

公司昨天公布了新的销售目标。

Here, '公司' means 'company,' '昨天' is 'yesterday,' and '新的销售目标' means 'new sales targets.' So the company announced new sales targets yesterday.

他们什么时候会公布这个项目的最终结果?

'他们' is 'they,' '什么时候' is 'when,' '这个项目' is 'this project,' and '最终结果' means 'final results.' Asking when they will announce the final results of the project.

§ At School: Grades and Schedules

School is another place where 公布 gets a lot of use. Think about exam results, class schedules, or important dates. All of these are 'announced' or 'made public' to students.

期末考试成绩什么时候公布

Here, '期末考试成绩' means 'final exam results.' You're asking when the final exam results will be announced.

学校公布了下学期的课程表。

'学校' is 'school,' '下学期' is 'next semester,' and '课程表' is 'course schedule.' The school announced next semester's course schedule.

§ In the News: Official Statements

The news is a prime place for 公布. Governments, organizations, and even individuals might 'announce' important information to the public through news channels. This is usually about significant events or decisions.

  • Government decisions
  • Research findings
  • Election results
  • Major policy changes

政府公布了最新的经济数据。

'政府' means 'government,' '最新' is 'latest,' and '经济数据' means 'economic data.' The government announced the latest economic data.

调查结果将于下周一公布

'调查结果' means 'investigation results,' and '下周一' is 'next Monday.' The investigation results will be announced next Monday.

See? 公布 is a straightforward word with a clear function. It's about making information known to a specific group or to the general public. Pay attention to the context, and you'll quickly get the hang of it.

Alright, let's talk about 公布 (gōngbù). It means to 'announce' or 'make public.' Sounds simple enough, right? But learners often trip up on a few key things. Let's make sure you don't make the same mistakes.

§ Don't confuse it with 宣布 (xuānbù)

This is probably the biggest one. Both 公布 (gōngbù) and 宣布 (xuānbù) can mean 'to announce,' but they're not always interchangeable. Think of it this way:

公布 (gōngbù)
Focuses on making something known to the general public, often something that has been decided or compiled. It's about revealing information, data, or results to a wide audience.
宣布 (xuānbù)
Often implies a formal declaration or pronouncement. It can be for a broader audience or a specific group. It emphasizes the act of declaring something, like a decision, a policy, or a war.

Here are some examples to show the difference:

  • You would say 公布 考试成绩 (gōngbù kǎoshì chéngjì - announce exam results) because you're making specific data public.

    学校公布了考试成绩。

    School announced the exam results. (The results were made public.)

  • You would say 宣布 结婚 (xuānbù jiéhūn - announce a marriage) because it's a declaration of a personal decision.

    他们宣布了结婚的消息。

    They announced their marriage. (They declared their intent to marry.)

  • A government would 公布 新政策的细节 (gōngbù xīn zhèngcè de xìjié - announce the details of a new policy) because they are revealing the specifics to the public.

    政府公布了新的经济数据。

    The government published new economic data.

  • A country would 宣布 独立 (xuānbù dúlì - declare independence) because it's a formal declaration.

    这个国家宣布独立了。

    This country declared independence.

§ Using it for personal news

You generally don't use 公布 (gōngbù) for very personal news, like telling your friends you got a new job or you're going on vacation. While those things are 'made public' to your friends, 公布 usually implies a more formal, official, or widespread release of information.

Wrong
公布我找到新工作了。(Wǒ gōngbù wǒ zhǎodào xīn gōngzuò le.)

This sounds too formal, like you're holding a press conference for your new job.

Right
我告诉大家我找到新工作了。(Wǒ gàosu dàjiā wǒ zhǎodào xīn gōngzuò le.) - I told everyone I found a new job.

Or:

Right
我分享了我找到新工作的消息。(Wǒ fēnxiǎngle wǒ zhǎodào xīn gōngzuò de xiāoxi.) - I shared the news that I found a new job.

§ Not always about 'news'

While 公布 (gōngbù) often relates to news, it's more specifically about making information public. It could be a list, a schedule, or a rule. It's not just breaking news, but any information that's being released for public consumption.

图书馆公布了新的开放时间。

The library announced its new opening hours. (Made the new hours public.)

This isn't 'news' in the sense of a breaking story, but it's information being made public. So, remember, 公布 (gōngbù) is for making facts, data, decisions, or results known to a general audience. Keep it formal, keep it public, and you'll use it correctly every time.

Fun Fact

The character '布' (bù) can also mean 'cloth' or 'fabric'. The act of spreading cloth or fabric might be an ancient metaphor for spreading news or information.

How to Use It

公布 (gōngbù) means to announce or make public something officially, usually in front of an audience or to a broad public. It implies a formal announcement or a public declaration of information.

Common Mistakes

A common mistake is confusing 公布 (gōngbù) with 宣布 (xuānbù). While both mean 'to announce', 公布 specifically refers to making information public or revealing it, often in a published form like a list, results, or a decision. 宣布 is more general and can refer to announcing anything, including personal news or intentions. Think of 公布 as making something known to the public, like a company's financial results, and 宣布 as making a statement, like a speaker announcing the next topic.

Tips

Basic Meaning

公布 (gōngbù) means to announce or make public. Think of it as formally sharing information with a wider audience.

Formal Context

This word is often used in formal contexts, such as governments, companies, or organizations announcing policies, results, or plans. It's less common for personal, casual announcements.

Common Usage: Results

You'll frequently hear it with 'results' (结果 jiéguǒ). For example, 公布结果 (gōngbù jiéguǒ) means to announce the results.

Common Usage: News

It's also used when news (消息 xiāoxī) or information (信息 xìnxī) is made public. For example, 公布消息 (gōngbù xiāoxī) means to release the news.

Verb + Object Structure

Remember the structure: 公布 + [what is announced]. The object is usually something official or important.

Not for Personal News

Do not use 公布 for personal news like 'I'm announcing my engagement.' For personal news, you might use 宣布 (xuānbù) or simply 告诉 (gàosù, to tell).

Example 1: Government

政府公布了新的政策。 (Zhèngfǔ gōngbù le xīn de zhèngcè.) The government announced a new policy.

Example 2: Company

公司将公布年度报告。 (Gōngsī jiāng gōngbù niándù bàogào.) The company will make public the annual report.

Example 3: Election Results

选举委员会公布了投票结果。 (Xuǎnjǔ wěiyuánhuì gōngbù le tóupiào jiéguǒ.) The election commission announced the voting results.

Contrast with 宣布 (xuānbù)

While both mean 'to announce,' 宣布 (xuānbù) is broader and can be used for both formal and personal announcements. 公布 (gōngbù) specifically implies making something officially public to a wide audience, often in written form or through official channels.

Word Origin

Composed of '公' (gōng) meaning 'public' or 'open', and '布' (bù) meaning 'to spread' or 'to announce'.

Original meaning: To publicly spread information.

Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, Chinese

Cultural Context

The act of '公布' is generally formal and implies an official announcement. It's often used by governments, institutions, or organizations to make important information known to the public, like new policies, results, or decisions. It emphasizes transparency and public awareness.

Frequently Asked Questions

10 questions

Both 宣布 and 公布 mean 'to announce' or 'to declare.' However, 宣布 (xuānbù) is more about making a statement or declaration, often a personal decision, a policy, or a result. It can be a one-way communication. 公布 (gōngbù) specifically means 'to make public' or 'to promulgate' something, usually official information, results, or data, to a wider audience. It implies a formal release of information. Think of 宣布 as 'to declare' and 公布 as 'to publish' or 'to release publicly.'

No, you would not use 公布 for a personal secret. 公布 is for officially making information public. For personal announcements, you'd use something like 说 (shuō - to say), 告诉 (gàosu - to tell), or maybe even 宣布 (xuānbù) if it's a significant personal declaration, but not 公布.

Not at all. 公布 is neutral in terms of good or bad news. You can 公布 good news, bad news, or neutral information. For example, a company might 公布 its financial results (which could be good or bad), or a school might 公布 exam results.

Common things that are 公布'd include: results (结果 - jiéguǒ), data (数据 - shùjù), policies (政策 - zhèngcè), regulations (规定 - guīdìng), lists (名单 - míngdān), and news (新闻 - xīnwén). Basically, any official information meant for public dissemination.

Yes, 公布 is almost always used in formal or official contexts. You'll see it in news reports, government announcements, company statements, academic findings, and other situations where information is officially released to the public.

You would say: 结果明天公布。 (Jiéguǒ míngtiān gōngbù.) or 明天会公布结果。 (Míngtiān huì gōngbù jiéguǒ.).

Yes, it's very common to use 公布 in a passive sense. Often, you don't even need to add a passive marker like 被 (bèi) because the context makes it clear. For example, 这个消息已经被公布了。 (Zhège xiāoxī yǐjīng bèi gōngbù le.) - This news has already been announced. Or more simply: 消息公布了。 (Xiāoxī gōngbù le.) - The news was announced.

While both can be used, 公布选举结果 (gōngbù xuǎnjǔ jiéguǒ) sounds more official and formal, emphasizing the public release of the validated results. 宣布选举结果 (xuānbù xuǎnjǔ jiéguǒ) focuses more on the act of stating or declaring the results, perhaps by an official, but might not carry the same weight of official public dissemination as 公布.

While often used for written public releases, 公布 can also refer to information that is spoken publicly, for instance, during a press conference where official results or policies are read out. The key is the formal, public dissemination of information.

While not a wide range of idioms, you often hear phrases like: 公布调查结果 (gōngbù diàochá jiéguǒ - to announce investigation results), 公布最新数据 (gōngbù zuìxīn shùjù - to announce the latest data), or 正式公布 (zhèngshì gōngbù - to officially announce/make public).
