Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

The word 引荐 (yǐnjiàn) means 'to recommend' or 'to introduce' someone or something, often in a formal or professional context. It is commonly used when recommending people for jobs, introducing books, or suggesting services.

Common Contexts

引荐 is frequently used in workplace or academic settings where a recommendation carries weight, such as job referrals or academic endorsements. It implies a certain level of trust and authority from the person making the recommendation.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 引荐人才 (yǐnjiàn réncái): recommend talented people, used in recruitment or networking.
  • 引荐 (yǐnjiàn xìn): letter of recommendation, a formal document.
  • 通过引荐 (tōngguò yǐnjiàn): through recommendation, indicating the channel of introduction.

Nuances

Using 引荐 suggests a positive endorsement and often implies that the recommender has a good relationship or knowledge of the person or thing being recommended. It is more formal than simply saying 推荐 (tuījiàn), which can be used more casually.

Common Confusion

Do not confuse 引荐 with 介绍 (jièshào), which means 'to introduce' but is more general and less formal. 引荐 specifically emphasizes recommendation and endorsement.

Example Sentences

He recommended an excellent engineer to the company.
