通报
How to Understand
通报 (tōng bào) is a noun that refers to an official announcement or report, typically issued by an organization, government, or authority. It differs from general news in that it is more formal and often used for internal communication or public notifications about events, policies, or updates.
The character 通 (tōng) means 'to communicate' or 'to pass through,' while 报 (bào) means 'report' or 'notification.' Together, they convey the idea of conveying information officially or formally.
通报 is commonly used in formal settings such as government offices, companies, and schools. For example, a company might issue a 通报 to inform employees about new policies, or a government agency might release a 通报 about a public event. It is also used in media to describe official statements or press releases.
