呼声

• 拼音: hū shēng
• 汉字拆解: 呼 = 口 (mouth) + 乎 (phonetic) — to call out; 声 = 耳 (ear) + 殳 (action) — sound; voice

含义

Calls; voices; appeals; clamour. The collective voice or demand of a group of people, or the figurative sound of public opinion.

While literally meaning the sound of calling out, 呼声 most commonly refers to the collective demands or aspirations of the public, workers, citizens, or other groups. 民间呼声 (public voices/demands) and 改革呼声 (calls for reform) are frequent collocations.
