뜻

중국 학술원의 ‘원사’(院士); 국가 과학·공학 아카데미의 최고 명예회원

In the Chinese context, 院士 specifically refers to members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院院士, CAS) or the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院院士, CAE) — the two most prestigious honorary fellowships in Chinese academia. Election is extraordinarily competitive and represents lifetime achievement recognition. 当选院士 (elected as an academician), 中科院院士 (CAS Academician), 两院院士 (academician of both academies), and 院士工作站 (academician workstation) are common usages in academic and policy contexts.

사용 가이드

맥락: academia, science, policy, education, institutional hierarchy

어조: respectful

올바른 표현

• 院士头衔不仅是最高学术认可，也在资源、咨询和学科建设中发挥制度作用。(The title of academician is not only the highest academic recognition, but also plays an institutional role in resources, consultation, and disciplinary building.)
• 当选院士是科学家职业生涯的最高荣誉，也意味着承担更多社会责任和公共义务。(Being elected as an academician is the highest honour in a scientist's career, and it also means taking on more social responsibilities and public duties.)

피해야 할 표현

• 他是一个普通院士 — 院士 is by definition the highest honorary title in the academy and inherently denotes exceptional distinction; qualifying it with 普通 (ordinary) is an oxymoron; for a researcher at institutional level use 科研人员, 研究员, or 教授; there is no such thing as an ordinary or lesser 院士
