予以
How to Understand
予以 is a verb phrase meaning 'to grant' or 'to bestow,' often used in formal or official contexts. It implies the act of giving something, such as authority, recognition, or a reward, to someone.
The character 予 (yú) originally meant 'to give' and was used in ancient texts to denote the act of bestowing something upon another. The character 以 (yǐ) functions as a preposition meaning 'with' or 'by,' and together they form a phrase that conveys the idea of granting or conferring something in a structured manner.
予以 is commonly found in legal, administrative, or bureaucratic language. It is often used in phrases like “予以表彰” (to be awarded) or “予以处理” (to be dealt with). Understanding 予以 helps learners grasp formal expressions in Chinese official documents and media.
