Grammar Points

将 + 在/于 + 时间 + 动词Future action with 将HSK 4

将 is a formal written marker used to show a future action or arrangement. It often appears in news reports and official language, especially before verbs like 访华, 访问, 举行, etc. 在/于 introduces the time when the future action will happen.

"特朗普称将在5月中旬访华。"

"他将于5月14日至15日对中国进行访问。"

对 + 地点/对象 + 进行 + 双音节动词性名词Conduct an action formallyHSK 5

进行 is used in formal Chinese to express carrying out an action, often with two-syllable verb-object style nouns such as 访问, 调查, 讨论. This structure is common in news and official statements and sounds more formal than using the verb alone.

"他将于5月14日至15日对中国进行访问。"

"在北京与中国领导人举行会晤。"

就 + 事项 + 动词Regarding / on a matterHSK 4

就 means 'regarding', 'on', or 'with respect to' when followed by a topic or issue. It is frequently used in formal speech to introduce the matter being discussed, negotiated, or asked about.

"中美就此事保持着沟通。"

"中美双方就特朗普总统访华一事保持着沟通。"

能否 + 动词Whether or not canHSK 4

能否 is a formal way to ask whether something is possible or whether someone can do something. It is more formal than 能不能 and is common in media questions, official interviews, and written Chinese.

"外交部能否确认?"

保持着 + 名词/状态Ongoing state with 着HSK 5

着 after a verb shows a continuing state. In 保持着沟通, it emphasizes that the communication is ongoing and continuing at the present time. This is common when describing sustained situations rather than completed actions.

"中美就此事保持着沟通。"

"中美双方就特朗普总统访华一事保持着沟通。"
