Grammar Points

被 + 人/机构 + 动词Passive with 被HSK 4

This pattern marks the receiver of an action, often when something happens to someone. It is very common in news and formal writing to highlight the affected person or thing rather than the doer.

"被列车工作人员要求自行清洗干净或赔偿180元"

"此事经报道后,再次引发了人们对于“卫生巾是否该成为火车标配”的讨论。"

在……情况下,……Under the condition thatHSK 5

This structure means 'under... circumstances' or 'in the case that...'. It is used to set a condition or background before giving a judgment, suggestion, or result. It is common in formal argumentation.

"在女性乘客有明确刚需的情况下,作为现代公共交通工具的火车,理应秉持用户视角,尽量解决“半数乘客”的日常困扰与麻烦。"

"要求每一位女性在任何情况下都“准备周全”,未免太过严苛。"

不仅……更……Not only... but even more...HSK 5

This pattern is used to compare two aspects, with the second part carrying greater emphasis. It is often used in persuasive or formal writing to deepen a point.

"公共服务的水准,不仅体现在速度和效率上,更体现在对每一个群体需求的细致关照上。"

"例如,很多时候女性乘客的需求是应急性的,探索投放小包装、“旅行装”卫生巾,既有助于缓解仓储压力,可能也更适合乘客需要。"

即便……也……Even if... still...HSK 5

This structure expresses concession. It means that even if one condition is true, the result in the second clause still holds. It is slightly formal and common in essays and reports.

"即便因现实困难暂时无法开售卫生用品,能否尝试在每个班列配备由卫生巾、止痛药等组成的应急箱,并在卫生间张贴温馨提示,让“例假突来”的女性不再焦急、尴尬?"

有助于……Be helpful for / contribute toHSK 5

This expression is used to say that something helps achieve a goal or improves a situation. It is common in formal and written Chinese, especially in analysis and recommendations.

"探索投放小包装、“旅行装”卫生巾,既有助于缓解仓储压力,可能也更适合乘客需要。"

"增加安睡裤的投放量,也能够在很大程度上减少女性弄脏床品的顾虑,让休息更安心。"
