叙述

• ピンイン: xù shù
• 漢字の分解: 叙 = 又 + 余 (narrate/arrange in order); 述 = 辶 + 术 (to state/recount — moving through a narrative)

意味

叙述する／語り述べる

A key term in literary studies (叙述方式 = narrative mode) and everyday communication. Implies an organised, sequential account — more formal than 说 (to say) and more neutral than 描述 (to describe, which emphasises detail). Used in journalism, academics, and testimony.

例文
