功劳

• 拼音: gōng láo
• 汉字拆解: 功 = achievement; 劳 = 力 (strength/effort) + 荣 (flourishing) — labour that yields merit

含义

Contribution; credit; meritorious service. The recognition or reward due to someone for their valuable effort or achievement.

Emphasises the credit or recognition earned rather than the act itself. The phrase 没有功劳也有苦劳 (even if there's no merit, at least there's hard work) is a common consolation. Used for both formal commendation and everyday acknowledgment. Collocates with 记 (to credit), 归 (to attribute to), and 抹杀 (to erase/deny).

例句

1. 公司走到今天，少不了每一位员工默默付出的功劳。
2. 他谦虚地把功劳归于整个团队，丝毫没有居功自傲的意思。
3. 没有功劳也有苦劳，她的付出大家都看在眼里。
