关于 (about)

• 拼音: guānyú
• 结构: 关于 + Topic ，Subject + Predicate
• 汉字拆解: 关 = simplified from 關, originally depicting a gate bar; 于 = simple character

含义

The preposition 关于 means 'about,' 'regarding,' or 'concerning.' It introduces the topic of a statement and is typically placed at the beginning of a sentence or before the subject.

When 关于 appears at the start of a sentence, it is often followed by a comma to set off the topic phrase. It can also be used as an attributive modifier before a noun with 的, as in 关于中国的书 (a book about China). Unlike 对于, which focuses on how the subject relates to or is affected by something, 关于 simply introduces the topic being discussed. In more formal writing, 关于 may appear in titles or headings. It is versatile and common in both everyday speech and academic or professional contexts.

例句

1. 关于这件事，我们明天再讨论。
2. 关于留学的问题，你可以问王老师。
3. 我看了一本关于中国历史的书。

起源与历史
