贯通

• 拼音: guàn tōng
• 汉字拆解: 贯 = 毌 + 贝 (penetrate); 通 = 辶 + 甬 (pass through unobstructed)

含义

To link through; to achieve thorough understanding; to connect seamlessly. Describes either physical connectivity (two tunnels meeting) or intellectual mastery (understanding a subject completely).

Appears in both infrastructure contexts (两线贯通 — two lines connected) and intellectual ones (融会贯通 — integrate knowledge into a coherent whole). The compound 融会贯通 is one of the most common four-character expressions for deep, holistic mastery.

例句

1. 隧道两端的施工队伍终于在深夜完成了贯通作业。
