Character Breakdown

Usage of 照例

The adverb 照例 means "as usual" or "according to custom." It is used to describe actions or events that follow established routines or conventions. When you use 照例, you imply that something happens regularly or traditionally in a certain way.

Common contexts

It often appears in formal or semi-formal contexts such as meetings, work routines, or social customs. For example, "照例主持介绍议程" means "as usual, the host first introduces the agenda."

Collocations and patterns

  • 照例 + verb phrase: to indicate the usual or customary action.
  • 照例 + 时间/场合: to describe what typically happens at a certain time or occasion.

Nuance and register

Using 照例 adds a tone of formality and respect for tradition or rules. It is more formal than simply saying "通常" (usually). Avoid using it in casual conversations where simpler words like "一般" or "平时" might be more natural.

Common confusion

Do not confuse 照例 with 照常. 照常 means "as usual" but emphasizes continuity without change, while 照例 stresses following a customary or established practice.

Example Sentences
