Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

"禁区" literally means "forbidden area" or "restricted zone." It is commonly used in sports contexts to refer to specific areas on the field or court where special rules apply, such as the penalty area in soccer or the restricted area in basketball. Outside sports, it can also mean any restricted or prohibited zone where entry or certain actions are forbidden.

Common Collocations

  • 禁区 (inside the restricted area): often used in sports to specify location.
  • 禁区 (outside the restricted area): used to contrast with the forbidden zone.
  • 禁区线 (boundary line of the restricted area): marking the limits.

Usage Notes

When used in sports, "禁区" implies strict rules that players must follow, such as goalkeepers handling the ball only within the soccer penalty area. In non-sports contexts, it often refers to areas restricted for safety, security, or legal reasons. Avoid confusing "禁区" with general "禁止" (prohibition) as "禁区" specifically denotes a physical area.

Register and Tone

"禁区" is a neutral term used in formal and informal contexts, especially in sports commentary, news, and official notices about restricted zones.
