Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

"重心" literally means "center of gravity," referring to the point where the weight of an object is balanced. It is used both in physical contexts, such as physics or sports, and metaphorically to indicate the main focus or priority of an activity or discussion.

Common Collocations

  • 重心…… (the center of gravity is at...) — used to describe physical balance.
  • 重心…… (put the focus on...) — used metaphorically to indicate prioritizing something.
  • 保持重心 (maintain center of gravity) — common in sports or physical training contexts.

Usage Notes

When used literally, "重心" is often discussed in science or sports contexts. Metaphorically, it helps express where one should concentrate effort or attention. Avoid confusing "重心" with "中心" (center), which is more general and less about balance or focus. "重心" implies weight or importance, either physically or figuratively.
