Meaning and Usage
"进展" (jìnzhǎn) primarily means "progress" or "advancement" in a process or activity. It is often used to describe how far something has moved forward, such as a project, negotiation, or work.
Common Contexts
You will frequently see "进展" in formal or semi-formal contexts like business meetings, project updates, or discussions about ongoing tasks. It emphasizes measurable or observable forward movement.
Collocations and Patterns
- 工作进展 (gōngzuò jìnzhǎn): work progress, used when reporting or discussing job-related developments.
- 项目进展 (xiàngmù jìnzhǎn): project progress, common in business and academic settings.
- 谈判进展 (tánpàn jìnzhǎn): negotiation progress, used in diplomatic or business contexts.
Usage Notes
"进展" is a noun but can be used as a verb phrase in some contexts to mean "to make progress." It is more formal than simply saying "好转" (improvement) and focuses on forward movement rather than just positive change.
Avoid confusing "进展" with "发展" (fāzhǎn), which means development but often implies a broader or longer-term growth rather than specific progress in a task or process.
