Meaning and Usage

"角逐" (juézhú) means to compete or contend intensely, often in a context where multiple parties vie for a prize, position, or advantage. It is commonly used in formal or written Chinese to describe competition in business, sports, politics, or other fields.

Common Contexts

This word frequently appears in contexts involving rivalry or competition, such as companies competing for market share, athletes competing for titles, or candidates competing in elections.

  • 角逐冠军 (compete for the championship): used in sports.

Usage Notes

"角逐" often implies a serious, sometimes intense competition rather than casual or friendly rivalry. It is more formal than words like "竞争" (jìngzhēng) and is suitable for written reports, news, and formal speech.

Avoid confusing "角逐" with "争夺" (zhēngduó), which also means to fight for or seize but can imply more aggressive or forceful action.
